Magic & Mentalism: page 433

Back in 2017, I released TNT Hypnosis - a deep dive into the Whats & Whys of hypnosis that most tutorials skip.

It had answers to questions like -

• Why can't kids be easily hypnotized?
• What's really happening in the conscious vs. subconscious mind?
• Why does speech pacing matter?
• Why dress sharp when it's all verbal?

Now, here's the Extended edition.

Hypnosis is more than a show or phenomenon - it's science, psychology, and skill. TNT Hypnosis: Extended breaks down the Why behind the Why.

• Why Hypnosis works
• What goes on in the brain during hypnosis?
• What are the different...

You can use the turn count to, for example, display several identical cards with one odd card. Upon turning over a card, the faces have all changed to the odd card, with only one left with the old face. You will need some double facers to use it in this way.

Ever since Derek Lever toured Florida, he has fallen in love with crocodiles. This fascination with that creature was the point when the crocodile gags were born.

Elegance in card magic is not always found in easy-to-work, highly visual effects that can literally gob-smack audiences and leave a lasting impact. Honeycutter is one of those rare gems that easily meets the criteria. Originally published in Bruce Elliott's magazine The Phoenix, this revised version from Ian Baxter adds extra clarity and sparkle to Al Honeycutt's original.

Note if you will: Just eight cards from any deck are all that is required. No setup, no fakes, extras, or accessories are called for. This is totally impromptu, and the necessary skills are minimal. If you can shuffle a deck, you can...

This is a wonderful and very readable autobiography by Tony Kardyro, aka Senor Torino or Tony London. It is filled with lots of great routines, tips, and bits of business from a pro who was living and breathing magic. It includes interesting and educational stories and opinions to learn from. For example:

The magician reveals thoughts that four spectators are only thinking of without anything being written down or asking any questions.

If you are not familiar with the General Card Principle, it will change the way you think about and perform magic. It is that strong. The General Card Principle is not an effect; it is a principle that, when fully understood, creates miracles that have no explanations. It is one of the most powerful principles in magic. Once you fully understand the General Card Principle, you will have an aha moment.

This eBook presents a mind-blowing effect utilizing the...

The performer explains that the famous neurologist and psychologist Sigmund Freud had demonstrated this experiment to the famous scientist Albert Einstein when they had first met in Berlin at the home of Freud's youngest son. Einstein was so impressed with it that later he started a correspondence by letters with Freud on critical world issues.

And the performer offers to demonstrate the same experiment to the participants where just by knowing a participant's color choices, the performer is able to accurately deduct a participant's personality traits which the participant will vouch for...

The cards are mixed by the spectator. The magician identifies the name that corresponds to the correct category (Family, Friend, Foe, Fake). He does this two more times.

Predict the outcome of a gambling game with 100% accuracy.

The magician offers to play a gambling game. He brings out two envelopes and removes three coins from one of them. Two spectators (S1 and S2) select one coin each. The magician gives the other envelope – which contains a prediction – to a third spectator (S3).

Then, from a packet of blue-backed and red-backed cards, S3 chooses a Secret Card that is put onto the prediction. The remainder is dealt to make up the board on which the coins will move along to select a card (one card equals one square).
