Mentalism |
The first book of Angelo Stagnaro's Psi-Books Series is aptly named "Conspiracy". It is a textbook on practical mentalism and concentrates on partnered codes and other secret arrangements between a mentalist and his confederate. "Conspiracy" contains nearly one hundred effects and as many photographs in a glossy paper-back edition. Also included is a large glossary of mentalist patter terms, a collection of cold reading one-liners and an extensive mentalism bibliography. |
Coral Fang by Luke Jermay The Coral Fang is Luke Jermay's third collection of material to be published. This manuscript does not concentrate as heavily on the use of suggestion in mentalism as his previous works and featured within these pages are several sure-fire effects as well as a few new twists using suggestion techniques and genuine psychological methodology. The book features the following effects:

Imagine this: you ask someone to think of a line from their favorite poem. Something you could not possibly know. They write the sentence across the center of their business card. They fold it and drop it on the table. You pick it up, tighten the creases, and place it in their palm. Actions that take less than five seconds. The folded card never leaves their view. In that brief time, you have read the entire sentence right in front of the spectator! After revealing the secret information, the card can be opened, checked, and even shown to the spectator! You don't have to tear up the paper in order to get the information like a Center Tear. You only use the single billet! There isn't any switching. The Dance of Shiva delivers the information to you as fast as you can read it, but keeps it in view for as long as you need. No quick glances. The same billet is always in view. You use only your hands and the paper or card. You don't shield the card at any time. The Dance of Shiva can be used to answer questions, duplicate designs, in word tests with actual book pages, with playing cards, maps or about any creative mental effect where secret information is needed. It doesn't seem possible, but The Dance of Shiva does exactly that. The Dance of Shiva has these important features:

In his first ever book, Ben Rayot reveals some of his most "deadly weapons," the routines that he has used time after time to get strong reactions from audiences. These are some of the finest mental effects released in some time. Contains:
Staplebound, 15 oversized pages. |
The premise of this work is all about the participant and their inner psychological experience, where their thoughts feel inevitable as they freely arrive and are mysteriously shared with the psychic entertainer without manipulation and resistance. This naturally builds a bond and a connection, one that is long remembered. The book is complete with the history of the premise, theory, language, presentations, effects to perform, as well as the examples you need to then apply the approach to your own ESP, mindreading type work. The "hypnotic" influence of my teacher's teacher Dr. Milton H. Erickson will be showcased even including some very rare photos of him I guarantee will be new to you. I'll even show you what clients in my office look at moments before they go into a lovely eyes-opened (formal) "trance" for the very first time. No, of course it isn't that silly old hypno-spiral. Find out from a real hypnosis professional some of the technical secrets we use and depend on that are applicable to performing mentalism. If you want to communicate more effectively with a participant, you want to buy and learn to elicit The Destiny Response. Early drafts were endorsed by Larry Becker, Barrie Richardson, Banachek, and others. Foreword by Bruce Bernstein. The book is on heavy laser paper with a glossy color cover, 52 pgs. Guys, I put my soul into these pages! "Richard's new "The Destiny Response" is outstanding. A seminal work on approaching the Holy Grail of mentalism ... creating the illusion of "the real thing." If I could speak like Richard writes, I'd be a true mindreader. I heartily add my highest recommendation, not that Richard needs it. Anything he puts his mind to is first class and an important addition to mentalism literature." - Larry Becker |

A specator chooses any number of dissimilar objects (usually around seven) and lays them in a row. A second participant looks over the group of items and jots down the name of one of them on a piece of paper. The first person is instructed to make several choices concerning the items. Half of them are eliminated, then a couple more are discarded. Finally, one object remains and it matches the item the second person chose before any objects were removed!

In this book, for the first time, Borodin reveals parts of his performing repertoire that he has used very successfully as a mental magician, a bizarrist, and a story teller. The secrets here have been carefully guarded. They are the ones Borodin did not want to reveal until the time was right. And now is the right time. The 24 routines from the original German work are contained here, as well as an additional 12 new routines that were prepared especially for the English edition. Final Curtain is the logical sequel to Borodin's Sheherazade. It is an excellent choice for the experienced story teller or the neophyte. There are several different kinds of routines within these covers. Some are very spooky, others humorous, still others, spiritually uplifting. And there is some excellent mental magic as well. No matter whether your taste leans toward the bizarre or you prefer stories with a moral, there will be something in here that you can enjoy and which will undoubtedly lead to a better understanding of how story magic can and should be done. So, with this book, sit back and relax. Take your time with the material presented, and pay particular attention to the way Borodin emphasizes the use of the voice, which, after all, is the real medium of the bizarre magician and the story teller. Final Curtain is a chamber of mental treasures that will be difficult to put down, once you have started to read it. Pages 338 |

Imagine. A very simple word, and yet, such a powerful one. Just Imagine that a volunteer from the audience can merely think of any item from a list that has been entirely created by the rest of the audience. She concentrates upon her selection as the you run through all of the named possibilities. When you get to the end of the list, you will be able to tell the volunteer exactly what she is thinking. Just Imagine that a person can merely think of any one of the five standard ESP symbols—and you will be able to tell them which one. And all of this (and more) can be accomplished on the spot. Nothing ever needs to be written. There is no advance preparation. No secret assistants. No gimmicks. No forcing. No pumping. No equivoque. And everything can be done without the performer ever touching anything—so there is obviously no sleight-of-hand. Simply put, everything here can look, and feel, like real mind reading. And everything can be done 100% impromptu. But, there is a catch… If you are the type of person that often reads something that is a bit different, and immediately believes that it will never work, then this manuscript will not be worthwhile for you. The material found between these covers is unusual, powerful, and certainly not for everyone. So be forewarned. Pages 42 - Soft Bound |
Maurice Fogel - In Search Of The Sensational by Chris Woodward and Richard Mark He was Maurice Fogel, the twentieth century's most audacious mentalist and one of its greatest showmen. His feats of mind reading captured headlines around the world—when he wasn't predicting them. He dared death, he read minds and he became a legend in his own time. Here is a taste of a typical Fogel performance: Six volunteer marksmen were invited on stage to operate six legitimate, loaded and fully functioning rifles. One man chose a rifle at random and fired at a saucer, shattering it to smithereens. The discharged rifle was set with the five still-loaded ones in a rotating rack and the rack spun until no one could know which was the empty weapon. Each marksman was assigned a random number and took a random rifle from the rack. Fogel next revealed a predicted number that had been in full view and isolated from the start. The marksmen were all told to aim at saucers over Fogel's head—but the man assigned the predicted number was to aim directly at Fogel's forehead. Then, on his command they all fired! To some he was a mental wonder; to others, an enigma. For years he strode the stages of the world, reading minds and using his strange powers to defy death. Maurice Fogel: In Search of the Sensational is the chronicle of the life of a master mentalist whose like has never been seen. He baffled the world and his peers. He defied death for years on a near nightly basis. He created an extraordinary body of professional mentalism that has remained among the most coveted material in the field. This book contains that material, along with the advice, experience and stories of a lifetime of professional performance by one of the world's most acclaimed mentalists. Maurice Fogel: In Search of the Sensational is the story of an amazing life and the mental secrets of an amazing man— The Amazing Fogel. Written and collected by Chris Woodward, an award-winning magician and Fogel's son-in-law, in collaboration with mentalist and Fogel confidant Richard Mark, here at last is the definitive work on Maurice Fogel, the man and his secrets. Pages 440 in elegant hardcover with book ribbon. |
Ultimate proof that you can read minds even in the worst situations K.E.N.T. is a wild mix of principles making for a REAL solution to mind reading. This looks like the REAL thing... Whether you are a close-up performer or a mentalist that plays it seriously, K.E.N.T. is a must have for you. Kenton calls K.E.N.T. "One of two tools I rely upon for close-up work of any kind, magic or mentalism". K.E.N.T. is the creation of Irish magician and mentalist John Mahood. IMAGINE... A wise guy pulls out his own deck of cards and demands that you prove your abilities. He wants you to prove yourself, without touching the cards, without writing anything down, without others helping. NO touching, NO marks, NO sleight of hand of any kind. NOW WHAT? With K.E.N.T. you tell the spectator to make it tough on you and think of one of a few cards he himself removes from his own deck. You never see these. You instruct him how to focus upon his thought of card and you NAME HIS CARD to the degree that he freaks out and swears you are the REAL thing. He dares you to tell him what his card is, and that is exactly what you are seen to do. This friends is a true mindblower. It is POWERFUL stuff. But it is not for everyone. This is as close to real mind reading as you can get. Like real mind reading, you will at very rare times, miss. You should know this up front. K.E.N.T. is for performers. For many real performers, given the impossibility of this situation, this is not much of an issue. You would likely fail anyway, so why not have the tools to usually win out instead? Yet we wanted you to be aware of this possibility. Add Kolossal Killer to the mix, and you will do this and never fail. In an effort of complete disclosure, the effect is you name the entire card. The reality is you name the name or number of the card, not the suit generally. But due to the psychology used, it appears you have named not only the name, but the suit as well. You should also know that this is based upon English and American English as well as American playing cards, so this may make a difference to you. If you and the people you perform for will speak in English generally, then this is great for you. If not, this may not be perfect for you. You would surely have to make a fair amount of adjustments to be able to use the basic idea in other languages. We like to be as clear and open as we can about such things. With that in mind, this and "Killer" Kenton calls his "lifeblood of close-up and mentalism" with cards. K.E.N.T. is also a must have for the close-up card worker who faces the type of spectator that challenges you to find or tell him his thought about card. NOW YOU WILL. For the mentalist who is asked to prove the "impossible", this is a tool that must be in your arsenal. Perform K.E.N.T. over the radio, phone or Internet if you wish! Once you have K.E.N.T.in your mind, you will need nothing else. Another person's mind and their own deck of cards is all that is used. That and the special secrets explained in K.E.N.T. 25 pages of 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 size. Includes how Kenton uses K.E.N.T. in a One Behind or One Ahead effect as well! |

Kenton's renowned masterwork and his unique styling in the art of suggestion, influence, and apparent "telepathic hypnosis". Since eight years of age, hypnosis and what seemed to be actual magical, mental powers fascinated Kenton. Over the decades, Kenton has created and developed certain secret methods - known to but a very few of Kenton's closest friends. These are the exact methods used by Kenton to create absolute awe and fascination in the minds of Kenton's clients. Kenton has guarded these concepts most jealously. Finally, the full story can be told. What was once legend and myth is now within the grasp of anyone who cares to study and apply these ingenious concepts. So, what is "Kentonism"? What can you do? With Kentonism you may appear to:
Includes special "subliminal" art designs to copy for your own business cards. We know what you usually get. This is not a work that uses "all stooges". Of course not - this is KENTON. Kenton has incorporated linguistic deception, dual-reality, and actual suggestion into these unusual principles and applications. KENTONISM is a rare look into Mr. Knepper's most secret work. This material is NOT for the magic hobbyist. This material is NOT a way to get people to date you. This is the real secret work for thinkers and performers. This book is over 60 full size pages in length. Kenton wanted to be sure that this amazing work was well within the price range of most serious people. While he could have charged a great deal more for these methods, we are offering it for a real steal. The last time we said something like that was when "Wonder Readings" was available, and at only $100.00 - You know what it goes for these days... Get this before Kenton snaps out of his trance! |
