Ted Annemann's writing in Jinx No. 19 alludes to an obscure Al Baker manuscript that Annemann had seen when he was 17 years of age, at which time the manuscript was already old. The manuscript contained some of the first writings by a well experienced and well informed magician. It was called Al Baker’s Mental Effects. This was a remarkable collection of ideas and fabulous routines aimed especially at the mentalist/magician. Although it featured Al Baker’s Billet Reading Extraordinary, each effect in the book was a feature item.
Dale A. Hildebrandt, the author of Risk & Reward, brings you a new ebook titled Triceratops. In Triceratops, there are three sections, which each have three chapters, and each chapter has three tricks. The emphasis is on the effect in this ebook, with methods sometimes scarcely even hinted at, much less described. This is for the performer who can take a piece of cloth and make it into a cloak of mystery.
This material is not for the weak of heart. Only read on if you want to dare something worthy. The following are the effects you will find in Triceratops:
DISC DECEPTION: An update of a classic...
This an ebook describing how you can create your own Psy-Connect Deck. So what is that, you're asking. It's a deck, or a stack of index cards which you use in your experiments. It allows you and a spectator to successfully send and receive words, pictures, colours, you name it. You can involve as many people as you like in this demonstration. This is really a no-brainer, no memorisation required, the cards can be shuffled. Just imagine the spectator picking up a card and successfully sending you that thought, but don't you think he/she would be happy to receive a thought as well? Of course,...
Warren places utmost importance on the effect and uses whatever method suits him to achieve it: mathematics, stacks, crimps, sleights, etc. He credits Ed Marlo for clarifying and simplifying his work.

This is an exposure of some of the greatest imposters of the 19th century. You gotta love this sentence:
"He lived in the midst of fairies and furies, nymphs and naiads, goblins and ghosts, witches and wizards, spirits and spooks, deities and devils."

A collection of 36 ideas and variations. Some are descriptions of substantial routines, others are merely an initial spark of an idea. Dale started this manuscript with a few variations on some work sent by Liam Montier. It continued to grow including variations of tricks Dale found in other ebooks and books.
In "Bits and Bytes", you'll learn:
D. D. Home PC: Prove the presence of the spirit of D. D. Home on a friend's borrowed laptop.
Mind Over Mint: A three phase bending routine using a tin of mints.
Tossed Out Wallet Ploy: Apparently give away $26 while keeping your trusty, lucky, $100...
This is a compilation of The Mixed Mind, The Sharp Mind and The Thinking Mind, plus the unreleased The Cerebral Mind (includes three effects for Cerebro, although the routines can be performed without the gimmick, it's only there as an enhancer. Definitely something for the seance worker).
The Thinking Mind
This is all theory, which means half of you won't be interested. No tricks.
It's about believability, logic, structure and so on. Well worth a read for the aspiring mentalist, or anyone who might be interested in Daniel's thoughts on the subject of mentalism.
The Sharp Mind
It's...
Turn your Himber wallet, or more precisely your mini-Himber wallet, into a versatile weapon!
Daniel has been very uncertain whether or not to release this ebook. Mainly because it is hard to market, because you will know the secret before you even buy it, or so you think. "Alright, just a bunch of effects with a Himber wallet." But trust him when he says, this is not what you think it is. The few people who have actually read this so far, are all intrigued by it. It all started with one realisation, a concept that sprung to mind, a handling of the Himber wallet that has never been seen before....
A small collection of three effects. First one out is an invisible cuing system, that can be used for spectator as mind reader effects of all kinds. They see writing appear on a card and then vanish.
Second one, and definitely a favorite, a memorised book effect. Any person selects a page in a book, you proceed with memorising it, you close the book and put it aside. Ask someone to name a "line number", and someone else to name a "word number". You think. You write. And place your writing out of sight. Take the book again and show that the word at the designated position is, say for example,...
Imagine being able to have a spectator select any one of several nails from a new unopened package, marking it for identification, and then bending it in front of their eyes!
Now imagine wowing your crowd by having them write private information and questions on business cards and folding them into quarters. You collect them in a sealed container and still begin to reveal information that you shouldn't know! Based on a Lee Earle principle, this new variation can be used with the phoenix peek to mix methods and create an all audience size miracle! The gimmick described costs .97 cents, is...
These are three self-working routines with ESP cards with the general theme 'impossible coincidences', facilitated by a cyclic stack. (Two effects are based on work by Werner Miller from his Ear-Marked book, and one routine is from Shane's book Automata.)
As always with Shane, you don't just get a routine and method, but the reasons why these routines work, what is important and how you can change or alter them to suit your needs and make them your own.
In Search of Synchronicity
A deck of ESP is shown, shuffled, and cut. The spectator cuts the deck several times, finally stopping whenever she wants, and removes the...
These are two mentalism/bizarre routines from Shane's book Pentalogy.
The End of the World as We Know It
Is the old "triple prediction" plot, but turned upside down. In this routine, the spectator predicts the exact date and method of the end of the world. Yes, it really is as weird as it sounds.
Bones, Modern and Cold
Combines cold-reading through an easily-learned (and unique) divination system with a classic sleight-of-hand trick to drive home the real purpose of divination and fortune-telling.
1st edition 2006; 20 pages.
Many have discovered Dale Hildebrandt as a thinker like no other. His creations are unique, weird, absurd, surreal and lead to extremely strong effects. He writes in his introduction:
Hello, my name is Dale A. Hildebrandt and I'm addicted to weird magic. I like to invent magic that is absurd, strange, and surreal. There's nothing better than creating an effect or routine that makes people stop and think. Then there's the effect that astonishes them into silence. And we can't forget about the effects which make them wonder just how pliable the world is in the hands of those who can ply. Paul...
Timothy Hyde was invited to join the famed Psychic Entertainers Association in 1990 where he quickly became known as "Australia's Magician of the Mind". His "real world" mentalism routines have been honed over years of performance and some of this material has only appeared before in Vibrations the journal of the PEA. It will be of particular interest to Stand Up and Corporate performers. The material requires a certain skill level and knowledge of the basics of mentalism.
Some comments by working professionals:
"I'm extremely jealous, really top notch material. The book is excellent...
