Magic & Mentalism: page 220

From the introduction:

Get the most from a classic trick. All you need is a single piece of rope (that can be borrowed) and you are always ready to entertain your audience. It packs so small but it plays so big. You can perform it close up or for a big audience.

"The Impossible Knot", originally called "G.W.Hunter's Puzzle Knot", was well-known to magicians fifty years ago but appears to have dropped out of use. This is a shame because it is easy to do, not well-known and, due to the method, almost impossible for a spectator to work out even when he is apparently shown how it is done. In short, it's a useful thing...

This is the 6th Volume of Peter Turner's Mentalism masterclass. This Volume is about numbers. This is the only volume where Peter talks about his feelings and thoughts during the creation procedure so you have a chance to step in Peter's everyday life for some moments. As always Peter's teaching is very enjoyable to read and very easy to understand.

Effects included:

Serial Killer: This is a prediction effect with a very cool story around it. The spectators make all the choices they can change their mind as many times they wish. This effect is very clean it packs small and plays huge. ...

Imagine being able to predict/reveal a thought of two digit number and playing card without the spectator saying a word, everything exists purely inside their mind. Sounds impossible right? wrong, with Abacus you can do this and a whole lot more, from open predictions to ACAAN style effects. Abacus is a principle that opens doors that no other has done before and is being performed by professionals worldwide.

"Rus has adapted a very clever Max Maven idea and applied it to cards. The result is a very interesting and very easy version of the ACAAN effect." - Marc Paul

First of all let me explain that this Coins Thru Table routine can also be used as a Coins Across routine, which is a routine I've been using for about 28 years while table-hopping.

This routine is unlike any other routine you've seen. 5 coins are used (one contrasting coin) and all are regular coins. No shells, no hidden props, no gaffed coins are used. Carry these 5 coins in your pocket and you will be ready to perform an impromptu miracle that will really "shake up" your spectators. And it's simple to do. In addition, there are NO weird sleights or 'knuckle-busters' used in this routine....

AA3Fly stands for "Anytime, Anywhere" 3 Fly. Using just 4 ungimmicked coins, you are prepared to perform a stand-up coin routine suitable for almost any venue. Start clean and end clean, with the coins examinable and your hands otherwise empty, both at the start and the end of the routine. You'll learn several novel ideas to wring the most magic out of 4 normal coins. This routine also includes my patter for the effect.

This is a killer close up mentalism routine. Clean, simple and direct. A participant is asked to mentally think of a word from the Psych Aerious Card. Not only does the performer reveal the final word but also seems to know what all the participant passed through from the beginning of the thought to the ending of the thought process.

A mysterious concept of Psych Aerious is introduced and explained which makes the routine more baffling and the impact more powerful. A small card which can easily fit in a wallet is used as an interesting...

Phones are now very personal items. Long time ago in order to perform an effect with pictures; you would have to carry the pictures with you. But now people carry pictures with them all the time. Million of pictures! Using your spectator's phone and his Instagram account the effect goes like this:

Your spectator freely selects any category of pictures. He searches for this category himself; then your spectator selects any picture he wants. This picture could have been uploaded by anybody in the whole world. Yet you read your spectator's mind and accurately find the username that uploaded that...

This is one of David's favorite effects. Not only does it fry laymen, but it also fools magicians as well. It can be performed at any point during your act. It does not have to be an opener or a closer, but it could be used as either. It is a very powerful effect because it seems very hands-off and is extremely visual. It is also easy to do!

Effect: Two red backed jokers are freely shown, and are set aside. A spectator selects a card from a blue backed deck, and signs it (the selection must be signed, or the effect is greatly diminished). In this example let's say that the card is the three...

Reminiscences of Charles H. Foster who some consider the most gifted and remarkable spiritual medium since Emanuel Swedenborg. This account gives facts and descriptions of many seances held in different parts of the world.

This is a fascinating account of Charles H. Foster's story - a medium who exhibited mostly skin writing (dermography) and pellet reading. When Foster visited England in 1861 materialization phenomena were added to his performances.

Foster enjoyed drinking alcohol and smoking cigars in barrooms with his companions as much as he did transmitting messages from the dead....
