Mentalism

Magicians have always loved performing seance theater. But how to make it practical and profitable has been a question unresolved UNTIL NOW!

By creating a system of three different seances, Docc has a practical system for selling and performing many types of seance theater.

The Pocket Seance can be performed close-up and surrounded. A spirit message appears addressed to someone you've never met and signed by a spirit known only to the addressee! It amazes potential buyers and sells the other seances.

The Personal Seance reveals personal information about a sitter and commands high fees. Docc's method rivals the great mediums of the past.

The Grand Seance is designed for several sitters at once. Their fortunes are told, birthdates revealed, personality traits given all through your spirit guide. Who makes his presence known in a finale that will have the sitters gasping for breath!

This is the system that has made professional magicians $1,000 a session. It was originally released with all the simple props for $350. Now you can have this secret information for a fraction of the cost.

Each seance is fully scripted so you know exactly what to do and say.

Features:

Complete darkness is NEVER required.
All acts are instantly set-up and taken down.
Everything travels in a briefcase.
You can perform them anywhere.
All three seances are really a SYSTEM for making big fees.
The system sells the shows. - No assistants needed
Nothing "corny", the REAL stuff!
Bonus slate moves.
New billet reading methods.
The Hilford Office Test, A wonderful way to read a person's thoughts, is also included FREE!

Fully scripted every move and gesture is written out.

Everything you need to make up to $ 100,000 a year, and keep your day job!

Perhaps the most highly recommended book on mentalism. Over 400 pages of material to stimulate your mind.

The groundbreaking material contained in 7 Deceptions is in a class of its own. After seeing these creations, Kenton Knepper was so stunned that he actually bought the publishing rights from Luke-the first time Kenton has ever purchased another's material. With endorsements from names like Docc Hilford, Steve Banachek and Kenton Knepper, you can rest assured that this is real-world material.

Stop your own pulse...with no gimmicks! And-stop a spectator's pulse without even touching them! No stooges, confirmed by another audience member, this is the real work!
A spectator simply looks at a playing card and you cause them to actually forget this card-they can't remember it! This really works!
A spectator's actual phobia is seen to go away through a magical, psychological event. The spectator takes home a special paper to remind them of this dramatic change. Is it real magic?
Two different spectators see two different words on one ungimmicked piece of paper without a single switch. You may also add to this, causing a third spectator to read a third word. A fascinating principle explained in full. This technique opens up many brand-new doors.
During a palm reading, the lines on the spectator's palm apparently move and twist on their own. A stunning combination of linguistics, psychology and neurology.
And lots more, including in-depth extras from guest contributors and fans of Mr. Jermay.

Act Of Imagination
by Enrique Enriquez and Kenton Knepper

"This Material Is So Fantastic - I Bought The Rights To It!
Only once before have I paid to write and publish someone else's ideas. The first time was some unknown performer at the time named 'Luke Jermay' and the book was the now-classic '7 Deceptions'.
This is only the second time I bought the rights to the material of someone else. That ought to tell you a great deal." - Kenton Knepper

This is the inside, practical, real work of "Kentonism" and "Telepathy In Action" taken to new heights and performed with greater ease and comfort than ever before. If you like "Kentonism" or "Telepathy In Action", this is a MUST HAVE book.

What is the Act of Imagination?

Do a full hypnosis type act without any hypnosis, stooges, trick props, or set-up.
People may think they have become furniture, see themselves without pants - any number of wild seemingly "hypnotic demonstrations" are performed without paid helpers or real hypnosis.
This is the full act just as Enrique Enriquez has performed it around the world, in theatres, living rooms, art museums and television. You get all the details of the act Enrique is performing to this day to gather fame and honor worldwide.

Psst! It's EASY. But it will take practice.

PLUS Enrique also tips for the first time his classic blindfold portrait effect with all the touches and details only he alone can tell. Draw accurate portraits of unseen people, even if you are not an artist!
AND Kenton tips his special duct tape blindfold designed for Enrique's act as well. Your head is down, eyes to the floor the entire time, duct tape all over your eyes and nose. No nose peek, no seeing through the blindfold either. REALLY. Of course there's a secret - and Kenton finally reveals it here for the first time here. Many have raved about this gem.

We know that once people read this work, the buzz will be all over the place, just as it was with 7 Deceptions. This book will change how we do Kentonism, TIA and hypnosis on stage forever.

It isn't easy to impress Kenton, and nearly impossible to get him to buy the rights to anyone else's work. Learn why Kenton spent a great deal of time and money to get this material into print. If he believes this much in the material, you can imagine how thrilled you are going to be!

Enrique Enriquez is a student of Kenton Knepper and has performed the world over with the material in this book. Now it can be yours.

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND This Kenton classic has been praised by many performers as one of the important works which helped create their own character and the way they think about magic and mentalism.

Spoon Bending Parties - - A detailed examination which many mentalists have asked Kenton to share with them alone, or keep to himself. How to get others to do metal bending in their own hands in a Psi-Party atmosphere.

Beautiful, poetic, miraculous, memorable magic and mentalism that is very different. "Enchanted Evening" has enchanted many of our best performers, and changed how we view ourselves and our art.

A book that took more than 20 years to produce!

Bob Cassidy, a founding member of the Psychic Entertainers' Association and one of the most influential and colorful creators of modern mentalism, has finally written a worthy successor to "The Art of Mentalism." When the latter was first published in 1983, it was immediately recognized as a classic in the field and is on the "top ten" lists of many leading mentalists. We predict that this volume will eclipse the acclaim of the first.

The first half of the book reprints his "Art of Mentalism 2" (a complete professional performance thoroughly explained), and his four "Principia Mentalia" volumes. As if that were not enough, the second half gives permanent form to three limited distribution manuscripts: "Theories and Methods for the Practical Psychic," "Strange Impressions," and "But Stranger Still."

If all eight titles were purchased at the time they were originally released, the total cost would have been more than $150.00. Now you can have them all - 290 typeset pages in one handsome, hardbound volume.

A collection of 19 of the best effects originally published in Beckers 1979 limited edition book. This book contains 216 pages of top material for the discriminating performer.

The combined talents of these two writers bring you thirteen diabolical and simple-to-do mentalism effects in one incredible book! Most of the items use cards, and there is also a rope-tie and an interesting effect using coins. You'll learn Into the Mirror, Superman's Eyes, Bogus and ten other sensational routines! This easy-to-read, easy-to-do mentalism book will be a great addition to your magic library!

This booklet covers every nuance of billet work. Allen Zingg not only covers peeks, but several other billet techniques.

Also included with Allen's general explanation of billet work are several routines, so you can get to work right away.

by Jack Kent Tillar

Once or twice every century, a new principle is discovered in our mystery field. In 1972, Jack Kent Tillar's Blister Effect was first published in Tarbell Volume 7. Harry Lorayne wrote, "As far as I know, this principle is new to magic." The effect is that a performer mysteriously makes a blister appear on the tip of his or her finger. Since its publication, this unique effect has become well-known and used by most mentalists and magicians.

However, most people don't know that Jack Kent Tillar, and Academy Award-winning composer and highly respected mentalist, had an extensive amount of work published in Magick, Genii, Invocation, and other notable publications. He has influenced many of the top professionals in mentalism today.

Now, thirty-five years later, this book celebrates all the individual ingenuity that performers have brought to this classic. Included in this volume is Jack Kent Tillar's original unpublished routine for the Blister Effect. It also contains over fifty cherished routines, ideas, wisdom, and secret devices for stage, close-up, and even radio, many of them guarded secrets, from some of today's biggest mentalism talents.

Contributors include:

Contained within this tome are the detailed secrets of six mentalistic miracles. Beyond his original creations, Docc adds new presentations and method variations to the rich ideas of Ted Annemann, Henry Hardin, Orville Meyer, David Berglas and Al Baker. The combinations produce performance pieces that entertain with a 10,000 volt shock.

Volume 1

Bartender's Nightmare - The mentalist proves his third, or pineal eye can see through human flash and bone as easy as glass. The bartender holds any coin in his fist. There's no peeks nor force of the coin. While blindfolded, the mentalist draws an accurate picture of it, including the denomination and the date!
Crystal Vision Two numbers, representing the month and day a person was born is written on the back of a business card. The card is folded and torn in half. The participant holds the side with t he month in one fist and the day in the other. The mentalist looks into a crystal ball and reveals details about the person's life, including his birth date yet he never looks at any part of the card.
Ghostotal A person thinks of a large number. Another person thinks of a small number, then follows the group's instructions regarding adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing his number. At the end of the random procedures, the mentalist reveals both chosen numbers. The final climax comes when it's discovered that both numbers are identical!
Match-Matical A completely new slant on a masterpiece. Three people choose a specific number of matches from a matchbook and hide them in their fists. The mentalist reveals all three chosen numbers in different ways. The first by automatic writing. The second by a bizarre burn on a paper. And finally, ashes spell out the last number in a very spooky manner. All with almost no preparation.
In-nile-lation Docc found a new twist in the Nile. A person thinks of a number and without writing anything, keeps it in mind. There's no force, it's a free mental selection. People in the audience call out numbers that are recorded and added together. The total from the audience is the same number as the one which the person is thinking! There are no forces. There are no switches of numbers. All numbers are confirmed as being the ones given. In fact, anyone can keep a record of their own and add the called numbers from their seats.
Newmero! ? Members of the audience call out numbers that the mentalist records on a board as a problem in addition. Everyone watches as the numbers are written down. He challenges someone in the audience to try to use a calculator and calculate the sum total faster than he can do it in his mind. Not only is the mentalist faster, but he proves to be more accurate! A prediction is opened and read. It gives a description of someone in the audience. The mentalist shows a chart wherein each numeral corresponds with a letter of the alphabet. When translated, the sum total spells out the name of the person described!

None of these effects requires difficult mental calculations. Many tricks have nothing to do with arithmetic of any kind. Those that do, are stunningly clever and brilliantly entertaining.

Volume 2

Tempest - A person writes a question on a slip of paper, folds it, and hides it under one of three inverted cups. Although the mentalist has had his back turned during this procedure, he's able to identify which cup covers the paper and to accurately answer the question! If you want to be a billet reader, this is for you.
Devil Dice - The mentalist tells a tale about gambling with the devil. He puts his wallet on a table. A spectator rolls a pair of dice three times. The numbers on the dice are totaled. Inside the wallet is a written prophesy that predicts the total. There are no forces of indexes. Just one prediction is used and it's written before the spectator sees the numbers on the dice.
Dicipher Bars - A set of unusual numbered bars are randomly positioned to make more and more difficult problems in addition. The mentalist is able to beat a calculator's speed in determining the total to every problem. Finally, he predicts the total of a problem yet to be seen! All of this proves an ability to see into the future!
Her Number - Two women both write down a phone number of a friend and their own numbers on the back of a business card. While one holds the card, you tell them which number is which, and finally reveal one of the women's phone numbers!
Libretta Minutia - A spectator puts three tiny number cards together in any manner he wishes. This creates a three-digit number that represents a random page form a miniature book. He looks at the chosen page and silently reads a word. The mentalist reveals the mentally chosen word. The charm of this trick is only surpassed by its clean method.
Ouijan - A spectator thinks of a number from 1 to 10. The mentalist touches a planchette on a tiny Ouija board. The spirits move it until finally stopping on the spectator's mentally chosen number.

The effects in this volume could be played together to form a complete and balanced close-up program. Busy performers are always on the watch for good close-up mentalism; here it is.
Pages 40

Volume 3

Flare Optico - Three people take arithmetic flash cards from a stack, each containing a different problem in addition. Even though the flash cards are hidden, the mentalist reveals the total from each problem. For an added climax, he reveals all the numbers in the problem.
Dolce Libra - A spectator holds a phone book behind his back and chooses a page. He brings it around in front and reads a name on the chosen page. The mentalist reveals the chosen name and number! It's simple, but oh so clean. Any borrowed phone book is used. The spectator has an apparent free choice. You never have to see anything. No cues or glimpses.
Special Delivery - Two spectators help the mentalist write a dozen or so names on billets. Someone randomly chooses one of the folded papers. A spectator seals it in an envelope. Although the people in the audience are unknown to him, the performer is able to deliver the sealed envelope to the person in the audience whose name was randomly selected!
Three Sided Brain - If a performer spent double the price of this book for this single trick, he would be getting a great deal. This original performance piece has been a feature of a very successful mentalist on the west coast since Docc taught it to him. The exclusive rights agreement has passed and although it will possibly be released as a limited DVD in the future, Docc explains in great detail the performing nuances necessary to make this a feature in YOUR program.Three spectators are used. Each decides on a thought. The mentalist writes something on a large 9" x 12" card. It's placed in an envelope numbered "1" and handed to the first spectator. This is repeated with the other two spectators. Later, it's seen that what the mentalist wrote matches each of their cards. The mentalist is also able to give a lot of unwritten information about the spectators.There are no carbons, billets, special envelopes or pre-show clipboards. You give intimate details about subjects that you couldn't possibly know. If you use the CEO of the hosting corporation, he'll never understand how you knew his mother's maiden name or what he ate for breakfast. No one ever spoke to him or had him write anything; in fact, you can decide to use him at the last minute while you're on stage.

This truly is a professional method devised through years of experience.

Luke Jermay has done it again! He has decided to release more of his awesome material, the routines which he uses to stun audiences around the world. In this important new volume, Luke has tipped the real work on using Suggestion Techniques. Luke covers the Definition = Creation theory along with several other techniques and teachings. This, coupled with his groundbreaking applications of the four Convincers, is enough to transform and amplify your performances right away. But that?s just for starters! Wait until you see some of the effects he teaches.

Imagine yourself performing these routines:

A plucked rose visibly wilts and dies as you talk about the fragility of life
An aura reading routine, which climaxes with the spectator genuinely seeing your aura - and you can provide proof!
You cause the spectator?s sense of time to physically slow down (we don?t just mean their watch, although of course that happens as well!). They are almost unable to physically move as they are stuck in a single moment of time.
You perform a version of Out Of This World, with a borrowed deck, with no set-up, no sleights or switches. In fact the spectator?s intuition can even be shown as correct for each individual card as it is dealt! This is the real work on the verbal control of a spectator.
Despite being blindfolded, you can read a selected sentence chosen at random from a borrowed book, with your fingertips! You can even scan through the whole book with your fingertips and comment on the story and characters. Did we mention that the blindfold is real and that you genuinely can?t see a thing and you can do this anywhere anytime?!
Imagine having your spectator actually feel their thought leave their mind and enter yours - imagine no more! With the Burst Bubble suggestion, your spectator will believe they felt the moment of magic happen inside their own mind! These are just a few of the incredible routines that Luke teaches in this new book. Every routine is accompanied by his suggestion techniques as applied to that specific piece, as well as his full performance script, plus many additional touches and ideas.

His sensational Out of This World is taken to an even more impossible level with just five un-gimmicked ESP cards. He has shared his personal Book Test, his acclaimed work on PK Touches, his thinking on playing cards in mentalism and so much more. He teaches the techniques of Anchoring and specifically how to apply them to magic performances.

By blending up-to-the-minute psychological techniques with some classic conjuring methodology, Luke has created cutting-edge Mentalism and Magick effects that will have your audiences believing that you can do anything! Going far beyond the material in his first release, 7 Deceptions, this new book really does teach you the Building Blocks? of becoming an expert at previously jealously guarded techniques of suggestion and mind control.

WHAT THE PROS ARE SAYING:

"At the right time, in the right place...get ready for something people will tell their grandchildren about witnessing."
- Paul Vigil

"I can honestly say I was bowled over by this work. To see someone really examine and refine an area of mentalism that has pretty much remained ignored for so long was a real treat. You will understand the basics in no time and soon be on your way to performing some great and inspiring takes on a forgotten effect." - Luke Jermay

In addition to the actual methodology, they give you a ton of related material from which to draw upon. This is information you will want to have and which could make a reputation for you. Get this!"
- Richard Osterlind

Pages 132 - Softbound.

This third volume of Invocation and The New Invocation marks the end of an era of sorts in the short history of bizarre magick. One way of defining an era is through the actions of one or more persons who played a significant role in shaping it. The one figure that stands plainly at the head of the bizarre magick movement of the 1980's is the editor of these pages, Masklyn ye Mage. For fifty-five bimonthly issues, in something more than nine years, ye Mage energized and influenced the field; and considering the handful of readers and contributors who make up the microcosm of bizarre magick, one can only wonder at the devotion that was shown by this man. This book contains the final 25 illustrated issues that were archived.

This long out-of-print classic, first published thirteen years ago in two volumes in a limited edition of 300, now reappears in a single 900 page hardcover. It contains all 16 issues of Invocation and issues 1-36 of The New Invocation.

"…In case you don't already know, Invocation is not your typical magic magazine. On the contrary, it is a magazine consciously "Devoted to Weird and Bizarre Magick."...Invocation, then, stands as a reminder to magicians that there is an older magic, a deeper and perhaps even darker tradition that has quietly spread underground for centuries - banished temporarily by Robert-Houdin when he exchanged the wizard's robes for the contemporary dress of the day. This older magic stretches back in time and history far beyond the point where written records begin. ...And so Invocation gives us magic for the few and not for the many. Perhaps this is as it should be…" -From the Introduction by Eugene Burger
