Un Viaje por la Cuarta DimensiónBob CassidyComo Bob Cassidy escribe, quizás el "Viaje por la cuarta dimensión", basado en una invención de Theodore Annemann, sea uno de los mejores efectos de todos los tiempos: tres espectadores escriben otras tantas informaciones que nadie más puede conocer y sellan sus papeles en sendos sobres.

Telepatia in AzioneOrville Wayne Meyer(contiene note e saggio a cura di Matteo Filippini) "Telepatia In Azione" è un libro straordinario, divenuto un vero e proprio classico per 'pochi eletti' nel campo del mentalismo. Si tratta di un numero di telepatia, in cui si fa uso di una particolare 'ipnosi/non ipnosi': infatti, benché non venga assolutamente utilizzata o nominata l'ipnosi nel corso dell'esibizione, gli effetti sono in tutto e per tutto simili a quelli di uno spettacolo di ipnosi da scena. Il tutto però viene presentato come 'condizionamento' mentale. Ecco alcuni degli straordinari effetti possibili:

Destrezza nel MentalismoBob CassidyDall'introduzione del libro: "Perciò che mi riguarda la destrezza di mano (o qualsiasi altro altro artificio del genere) ha un solo scopo: stabilire con convinzione una falsa premessa che ritengo essere il fondamento di tutte le illusioni e gli inganni convincenti. Più tale premessa viene stabilita in modo convincente, più incredibile apparirà di conseguenza l'effetto. Le sottigliezze e gli approcci psicologici del mentalismo possono, quando arricchite dalla destrezza di mano, fornire immediatezza e chiarezza all'effetto che, così spesso, manca nelle routine mentali. Il fatto che... | $25 to wish listPDF & MP4 | |

Tecniche con L'unghia ScriventeBob CassidyLo "Swami Gimmick" conosciuto anche come "Nail Writer", "Thumb Writer", "Ghost Writer" e "Medium's Secret Device" è stato spesso considerato come uno dei dispositivi più utili di tutto il mentalismo. E lo è di sicuro, ammesso che nessuno sappia che il mentalista ne stia facendo uso. Sebbene l’esistenza dello Swami sia ampiamente nota, pochissimi performers lo usano davvero regolarmente e ancora di meno hanno imparato ad usarlo a regola d’arte. Usato a dovere, anche coloro che hanno sentito parlare di unghia scrivente (o “quel pezzetto di mina sotto l’unghia del pollice”)... | $25 to wish list | |
