I watched Kreskin do his version of message reading and couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw, what to my mind was, one of the methods given in these instructions. The Volta System is definitely a derivative of Glenn Falkenstein’s work.

Martin was passionate about magic from early childhood.
Martin had his first success in magic with his line of Magicassettes starting in 1976. The first one was an interview with Bobby Bernard and the second one with David Berglas. Over the years he released more than 80 such tapes and later offered them on Audio CDs. (You can find all of the Martin Breese recordings among the MP3s offered in the Magic Audio category.)

His reasoning should be obvious - every additional prop takes the illusion one step away from what "real mind reading" would look like. And, as Bob has noted many times in his previous ebooks, every additional type of mentalism you demonstrate (apparent telepathy, precognition, psychokinesis, clairvoyance, etc.) also detracts from the overall illusion.
Recently a "mentalist" challenged Bob on this point: "How entertaining is it to demonstrate the same ability over and over again? It is much... $12 Fall of the CardsDonald Parson ... situations that arise in everyday play. They should be short and snappy, and answerable by a concise statement, preferably early in the game; for if delayed too long, variations in defense may lead to complications that destroy the problem. Above all, they should offer two schemes of play, one that may be plausible at first sight, and another that a deeper analysis proves to be the correct procedure.

Written by one of the scholars of magic - John Mulholland. Ben Robinson, the expert on John Mulholland whom he researched for more than 30 years, writes in his introduction to this ebook:

It begins to bend.
While the coin in plain sight is bending, the participant claims to feel the coin in their hand bending in synchronicity.
