Mentalism & Spiritism

This is a routine which defies categorization. It is inexplicably weird and amazingly powerful.

It can be performed with your own coins or borrowed coins. With your own business cards or borrowed business cards. It can be performed with real coins or even with imaginary coins.

The performer makes a prediction on the back of his business card and keeps it face down in full view right before commencing the routine. A participant is asked to make a free choice from among 5 coins, real or imaginary. After the participant lands on a coin,...

To significantly improve on an effect by Max Maven is a hard thing to do for anybody. But David has achieved this feat here with his Coincidence and Fate. One could even say that he has "out-maxed Maven!" - Chris Wasshuber

The much controversial subject of spiritual interaction has been engaging the attention of the majority of thinking people since time immemorial. We have many supporters of Spiritualism in our midst today, and a far greater number of those who accept the cult with some degree of incredulity. Whether one is for or against the subject, he is certainly not occupying a "terra firma" position for preaching his doctrine. People in either group will merely be groping in the dark, trying to reach an unknown region-a region which no living mother's son (or daughter) can know anything...

"Companionage is a French word from medieval times, used to define that stage in the life of a person when formal education was over and learning happened by a direct exchange of secrets, from one craftsman to another. Under companionage a person would travel across Europe, staying in several towns, each for a while.

This way, a traveling blacksmith, for example, would stay with the town’s blacksmith to work with him, learn from him and share his own knowledge in return. By staying with blacksmiths from town to town, each would achieve mastery, go back home, set shop and start receiving...

Now this second edition includes some clever and innovative additional revelation ideas from Marc Paul. It already includes a brilliant additional revelation idea of Chris Wasshuber.

These are 3 unbelievably dramatic routines which are totally unfathomable by the spectators. Even if they search the internet, they will find the entire patter and facts given by you are absolutely true and genuine which makes these routines all the more baffling and memorable.

A clever and simple two person code to transmit 6 possible outcomes by merely saying the word 'concentrate'.

This looks like real telepathic communication between two people. No electronics or gimmicks are needed. To prove telepathic communication works when using two minds together, you have a spectator roll a die and you simply say one word: "Concentrate". Your stage partner knows instantly which number the die has landed on every time - even over a video call or telephone. Afterwards, you can let the spectator keep the die.

Here is a verbal coding system that has been tried and tested...

Have you ever thought seriously about lying? How about catching someone every time they lie? Though this is a bit far-fetched (You'd be considered Superman if you could), offering a serious demo to your viewers wouldn't be that far-fetched. With the New Confession Principle, you can catch just about anyone lying. Introducing a brand new principle in mentalism, with tons of applications, Confession by Avik accomplishes just what the name suggests; let them lie, but the truth behind that will be clear as daylight to you, as if they were confessing their lies. The ultimate Truth/Lie...

THE WITCH'S CONNECTIVITY/BALANCE READING:

Witchcraft was originally an oral tradition; all of its rites and beliefs were passed on by word of mouth, with nothing written down. It was not until the persecution of the Middle Ages, when Witches had to meet in secret and consequently were unable to maintain contact with one another, that any of the rituals were set down in a book called The Book of Shadows, since the Witches had to meet "in the shadows". What I'm about to show you, is a sort of card reading from such a book....

A duplicate set of ESP cards has been on view throughout. They are all face down except one. It's your card. Not only that, but it has a completely different colored back from the rest!

Consumer Control is simple, easy and direct. No counts, moves or sleight of hand. A baffling demonstration of psychological persuasion.

[Note: This ebook does not come with the specially prepared cards. One set of ESP cards is regular. The other set is prepared with rough and smooth but in a very special way. If you have a roughing spray or stick you will be able to make your own cards. You will need ESP cards with two different backs. You will also need two double backers that match the two different backs and two envelopes.]

David Devlin's Contact is not a book test in the traditional sense. It is a book test designed for the magician. It is a book test of sorts with a séance themed presentation. It is through the book itself that the performer will make contact with the "spirits". The presentation is rather spooky; however...

An easy, small mental effect to take with you wherever you go. Entertaining and just a little bit different.

You show an envelope to the audience containing one single card as your prediction. A spectator is asked to keep the envelope. A second spectator chooses one card from a packet of ten. The funny thing is: all card faces are all the same, showing, for example, the 8 of Hearts. When the envelope is opened, the card inside also is the 8 of Hearts, of course. ...
