Marc Oberon latest gimmick has been a year in the making. Called Incarnation, it provides the ability to manifest thought and offers countless presentational possibilities for magicians and mentalists alike.

Imagine a single folded card is on display. The spectator is asked to think of any card, (no force) and when the value and suit of the card is named it is shown to be a perfect match.

Effect two

The spectator names any of 52 cards (no force) and imagines transmitting it through space where it appears before their very eyes.

Alan Alfredo Marchese LIVE


Alfredo Marchese, who performs as Alan, may not be the most recognized name in the world of magic, but we were tipped off with some inside information. So, when Penguin Live happened to catch up with him, we took the opportunity to find out what the buzz was all about. And you'll be glad we did.

Alan is originally from Argentina, now living in Madrid, Spain. Drawn there by the tradition of Spanish card magic... he has a very different take on it. He performs his card magic in a stand-up situation, and in this Penguin Live lecture, he shares a selection of unusual card tricks with fascinating methods.

He begins with a bet and a prediction, and involves the whole audience helping to narrow down an imaginary deck of cards to only one. Although his prediction card in the envelope is off by one, Alan is right on the money as he proves he knew that would be the case.

Then a real deck is cut into four piles, and shuffled by four people, yet each pile is found to have one of the aces on its bottom. It's a clever method.

Next, Alan uses his pocket calendar which has a different card listed for each day. After someone chooses a date and notes the card there... he shows that it is the one card missing from the deck... and, just for good measure, he also has exactly that card in a prediction envelope.

Then, he teaches his way of handling a seldom-seen effect. In his version, any card at all is named, and that card is discovered inside an egg.

Finally, he makes selected cards rise from the deck in increasingly impossible ways, until at last, the entire deck explodes in a fountain. Alan's ingenious set-up for this is portable, allowing you to perform a spectacular card fountain without any assistants or visible mechanisms.

So, if you're looking for some clever ways to make your card magic play for a bigger audience, you'll enjoy the routines you'll find right here.

If you could ask ONE question to one of the world's most creative professional magicians, what would it be?

 

If you've never been to a magic lecture, there’'s never been a better time. Sunday, June 28th, at 7:00pm, we're live-streaming Alan Alfredo Marchese LIVE in a spectacular 2-hour interactive online lecture. Watch, ask questions, and learn things you won't find in any book or DVD.

Osterlind's 13 Steps: 7: Metal Bending


TODAY, Richard Osterlind is teaching every method he REALLY USES to bend metal for paying clients, including the famous Karate Bend.

Whether you want to learn metal bending, or master it, this is the PERFECT lesson.

Here's what the pros are saying:

"Be prepared to constantly stop the video and take notes" -Shaun Dunn

"I have been a mentalist/magician working for 20 years. Anyone who is serious about there craft will buy not only this but the entire series. Great product worth every penny!" -Anthony Spinelli

"Listening to Mr. Osterlind is like listening to an old college professor who is skilled at breaking everything down. He helps you to grasp a better understanding." -Mister Xman

"Watching this helped me with some issues I was having in my own routine I put together" -Nat Lawson

"Very thorough,taught at a good pace. You will need time to understand the reasons behind his method ,which he has mastered over the years ,and get the technique down, to where it is flawless. But I really think it will be worth the time spent." -Jeff Chambers

"His biggest gift may be his ability to explain in practical, down-to-earth language how to become a legendary mentalist." -Maxwell Murphy

For over 40 years, Richard Osterlind has been pioneering new ways to read minds, hypnotize, bend metal and more. He's considered one of the living legends of mentalism.

Aimed at serious students of the art, Osterlind's 13 Steps is a MODERN look at the fundamentals of mentalism based on Richard's lifetime of experience. It has some obvious similarities to the classic text, Corinda's 13 Steps, but is an entirely independent course based on Richard's own experience.

PROFESSIONALS: If you bend metal, or want to learn, there's no better time than today. Osterlind has been mastering his craft for 40 years, and today he's generously teaching in more detail than ever before. It's truly a must-have for any serious student of magic or mentalism.

The Vault by David Penn




David Penn, the creator of Mystery Solved and Coinvexed has applied revolutionary new thinking to the ring-flight plot.

David has also combined this killer effect with an organic version of the nest of boxes resulting in an effect that will be impossible to comprehend for your spectators.

You casually place your keys on the table, in full view prior to sharing a moment of magic.

A borrowed object such as a ring or a signed coin vanishes without a trace.

Even though the keys have been in full view from the start, for the first time, with empty hands, you pick up your keys and show that attached to the keyring is a box. You open it and inside is another box. You or the spectator opens this to find another box inside. They open the final box of the three to find their object!

The Vault is a precision made gimmick that allows you to accomplish this incredible effect without the need for complicated sleight of hand.

Presented by Wayne Fox and created by David Penn, this is a truly impossible effect that you will always carry on your keyring. This is 'The Vault'.

"That fooled me completely! I've always loved the Nest of Boxes and this is TERRIFIC!"
Doc Eason

"That is just AWESOME!"
Ravi Mayar

"This is pure GENIUS! Your spectators will have no chance to comprehend what just happened"
Rus Andrews

"That is INCREDIBLE! I can't wait to use this!"
Eric Leblon

"This is epic! Such a well structured routine and the final kicker hits you hard when you least expect it. My kind of magic, I love it!"
Steve Rowe

"THE VAULT blew my mind and will kill your spectators dead. Love it!"
Stephen Leathwaite

Mokele: Hidden in Possibilities (Ebook) By Phill Smith


The third and final book in the infamous Mythology Trilogy, Mokele is an exploration of the art in 214 pages, containing 14+ punchy practical effects for both close-up and stage, all from the soft, spongy brain of UK mentalist Phill Smith. Along with Phill's usual practical straightforward methods and effects, there are the essays and premises that have become the hallmark of the Mythology Trilogy.

For the first time Phill reveals his unique method for determining a name or drawing (or anything) written on a business card, with no gimmicks or sleights at all, in real time in full view of the audience - a powerful, ingenious and easy method that will fit straight into the arsenal of any mentalist or mystery performer. There's a simple method of giving a positive cartomancy reading with a normal deck of cards that has a strange and inexplicable kicker, a challenge drawing duplication that will mean you never have to buy a drink again, a handful of weird card effects as well as a funny stage game of bingo that you always win (or lose, depending on your viewpoint).

Alongside these and many more exciting and practical effects there are essays on performing and developing ideas that draw ideas from a seminal text from the design industry, containing dynamite ideas on how to make your effects more powerful, as well as how to minimise and dissipate the risk of failure for any effect you do. All that, plus the usual smattering of unique premises that serve as jumping off points for your own presentations.

Mokele is a 210 page ebook packed with ideas for performers of all levels, from one of the industry's most creative minds. Click download now to get your hands on Mokele today and start creating a new kind of wonder.

Shadow Peek by Pablo Amira


The Shadow Peek is a simple billet technique that will allow you to know 50% of a folded billet with natural actions.
You can use your own unprepared business cards, or even borrowed ones.
You will learn in this 23 minutes video lesson the core method, several uses (Q&A, incredible mindreading, drawing duplication) and different variations (using envelopes, paperclips) and ways to do the dirty work (bold approaches, during folding,etc)

You can do performance anywhere, anytime and even a full stage act just with papers, pens, a bag and the "Shadow Peek"

Opinions:

"I love Shadow Peek! I also love Pablo's gentle style. I will be using this"
TC Tahoe

"As always your work is top notch"
Sean Waters 

"An outstanding billet peeking method
Chris Wasshuber" 

"The Shadow Peek is very good.I think this has a lot of potential, also because you get two informations in the same time. I just tried and looks very deceptive.The peek is very quick too!"
Luca Volpe 

"Amira's Shadow Peek is another gem that I've come across.
What you are purchasing is more than a peek, you are purchasing a piece of Pablo's mind and his unique perception"
Cedric Taylor

"Also Pablo is to be congratulated in the many ways he shows how this peek can be used. On the video one of the neatest is securing the folded billet by a paperclip. Smart thinking."
Neil S

"Pablo, I really like your shadow peek. It's a good addition to any peek collection. Reminds me of some of Richard Busch's work, but still 
different enough to stand on its own. Good job ! "
Mac Geddert

[Free Magic]Omega Mutation by Cameron Francis & Big Blind Media



27 real-world effects from the hottest magic newcomer in years in a 3 video set that will blow you away!

Almost 5 hours of practical, mind-blowing close-up magic!

Featuring exclusive music from Slaves To Gravity, Johnny Panic, Standing Dead Centre, Andrew Potterton and John Barr!

The Story: October 18th 2007, 2.08pm. Distress calls are received at Heathrow Airport from an inbound 'Boeing 747' from Florida. The pilot, three crew and twelve passengers have been struck down by a mystery illness. By the time the plane lands, 7 people are dead. Only one man, an American citizen named Cameron Francis, disembarks the aircraft without showing any symptoms of the deadly bug. He is immediately arrested and quarantined in a secret location where he remains completely oblivious to the chaos that is unfolding as the mystery virus sweeps the UK.

Interrogations of the suspect have revealed nothing. Francis refuses to admit any connection to the vicious and deadly strain now dubbed the Omega Mutation by leading scientist's frantically working on an antidote. Francis is either an unwitting participant in a deadly game, or a criminal mastermind of heroic proportions. Either way, his story is sketchy. Claiming to be a close up magician, he carries with him a small attaché case filled with cards, coins and other magical paraphernalia. Needless to say, his attachment to this questionable practice only serves to raise suspicion of his involvement in what could be the single most disastrous event that the world has ever known!

Will the deadly virus be stopped? Will Cameron ever convince his captors of his innocence? Will the guards ever grow tired of his card tricks? Will Cameron ever escape? Find out in CAMERON FRANCIS - THE OMEGA MUTATION!

"... one of the most creative magicians that I have met in a long time."
- Richard Sanders

"Cameron's magic is captivating and full of surprises. You will like this material!"
- Aldo Colombini

Signed & Assembled - Three signed cards to card box. Super clean and super easy to do.
Back In 10 - A freely selected coin (yeah, right!), disappears and ends up taped to the back of a signed business card. You could give that away you know. Like some kind of souvenir / advertising ploy. Genius.

Assembled Reset - Four jokers assemble and then instantly backfire into their original positions. Highly effective and the handling is a breeze.

Appearing Sharpie - A 'no sleeves required' miracle. One second you are holding a pen lid, the next it's the pen has appeared in the lid. Hence 'Appearing Sharpie'. Obviously.
Bill Switch - The $100 Bill Switch explained in detail.

Solution - you visibly change the currency to match the city!

In most cases, it will put you near the top of the page and over your competitors. The nice thing is that you can do this yourself without having to hire a web designer.

Remember, you do not have to hire a webmaster or web designer. You can do this yourself at NO cost or a very low cost for about $4.00 a month. A bargain to be on the first page of Google searches. 

SEO firms charge anywhere from several hundred to several thousands dollars a month to get a business on the front page of a Google search.
Now you can do it yourself with this easy to follow guide for less than a price of a night on the town. 

This information works for any performer, be you a magician, clown, balloon artist, or face painter. Your website can be on the first page of Google. Even a non-entertainment business can get on page one of searches using this information. This information works for anyone who wants to be on page one of Google and other search engines. 

Important Update: As of April 21, 2015, Google has made a major update that affects every website. Unless your website is deemed to be mobile friendly, then Google will penalize you for it. That means, though your website may have been on page one of Google searches, it could vanish from search results effective April 21, 2015. That is bad news for a lot of website owners. The good news is that if you bought this book in the past and implemented the technique described, then your website is automatically compliant with the new Google algorithm. If you are looking for a quick and easy way to make your website mobile friendly without having to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars with a professional web designer, then this book could do the trick for you.
Any website built using this technique will be mobile friendly.

[Free magic]PK Blista by Mike Busby



Do you like PK Ring magic... BUT don't like wearing a ring?

The 'Dude That's Cool Magic- PK Blista' is a PK utility device that allows you to perform incredible effects seemingly empty handed. It's silent, virtually invisible and tiny enough to take up no pocket space. If James Bond used a PK gimmick, this would be the one!

Each PK Blista (2 x supplied)
Contains a very powerful neodymium magnet with an incredible pull strength (these little guys are seriously strong)
Has 3mm of rubber coating dulling any unwanted loud 'Clunks' and 'Thuds'
Has generic flesh colouring
Has no sizing issues
Is easy to ditch and apply
In addition join your host and creative thinker Liam Montier on the accompanying 22 minute DVD as he discusses the gimmick in more detail.

Not only will he teach you methods for ringing the gimmick in and out and handling it in a totally natural manner, he will explain the following awesome (and easy to do effects):

Coin in Bottle - Borrowed coin penetrates through the base of a soda bottle.

Coin Thru Hand - A marked coin vanishes from the back of your hand, only to reappear within your clenched fist along with some previously discarded pocket change.

The Mental Bag - Five spectators each randomly select a coin from a bag. You use your mentalist powers to predict who has taken which coin.

Time to get Blista-ed!

Kenton Knepper - Pendulum Programming


Kenton's original work that inspired a generation of pendulum books
Use pendulums for readings, trance states, influence and mentalism
Use pendulums to help people reprogram themselves
Includes original mentalism effects
Special pendulum charts supplied
Yet another Kenton work that restarted a modern trend...Read the original work that inspired countless others to write their own pendulum books after reading THIS one... PENDULUM PROGRAMMING

What Is Pendulum Programming?

"For those interested in 'real' magic... As a program I have used for more than a year, I can tell you that its useful to the modern mentalist, coach and hypnotist, as well as, any individual looking for success...my highest recommendation."
— John Charles Robinson, CCHt

"Reading through your PENDULUM PROGRAMMING and frankly the 11 page preface or "Performer/Teacher Notes" is well worth the price alone. Please take this off the market. I want it all to myself."
— Troy Swezey

Here is what Kenton says about it:

"Pendulum Programming is a training system I have long used incorporating pendulums as self-readings, affirmation and goal setting, trance induction with pendulums, and more.

It is also a perfect way to put responsibility back on readings clients.

Plus it has mentalism effects that relate to this system.

This is based on work I do with real people, and how to bridge that with performing, readings, hypnosis work, etc.

This work also relates to elements in Mind Reading Lesson 8.

Frankly, I LOVE this sort of thing.

It is perfect for personal coaches, success trainers, and the like too. You can even hold your own training sessions after you read this work.

I have given you all I can, as reasonably as possible about this segment of my work at last. I hope you will find it as useful and as profitable as I."

- Kenton

Kenton feels that while it is fine to have long term readings clients, the last thing he wants is to have a client dependent on him. Kenton believes that Mind Readers should help empower clients and audiences to listen to their own intuition, tap into their inner resources, and rely on what is within them rather than relying solely on others.

To this end, Kenton often develops work and tools that clients may use at home or office, to tap into their support within, as well as entertain. That's what Pendulum Programming is all about

Here are just some of the topics and items in this work:

How to program yourself with a pendulum
How to phrase suggestions and affirmations properly
Pendulum Self-Hypnosis
Special Pendulum Charts
Finding Energy
Galileo's Swinging Thoughts
Pendulum and Gemstone Meanings and Readings
Cleaning Symbolism
Doing Readings with Pendulum Charts
Applying real pendulum work to performance
Kenton's "Sealed Pendulum" effect
Kenton's "Five Bill Miracle" effect
The "Rings True" Pendulum
What a pendulum reveals in performance
MUCH MORE

We wish we could tell you in this small space how important, useful and intriguing this work is, but you'll have to read it for yourself to completely grasp its importance.

If you are a student of our Mind Reading Lessons or any of our readings systems, this is simply a must have addition. No one doing readings should be without this work - period.

You receive two PDFs of training. One is the main training manual. The other PDF is how to additionally apply this work to mentalism performances, effects, and teaching the material as a course or series of lessons.

Self-programming, and pendulums, are fascinating topics to the media and public. Offering to teach people how to use pendulums for programming themselves and bettering their lives, while performing miracles yourself, makes for easy bookings of classes, seminars and full courses on this subject. It also takes the heat off of you for readings, mentalism and obsessive fans or those demanding readings clients.

Personal Coaches, Private Motivators and Kenton's clients already swear by this material. Now we are making this training available to all our performing friends, with entertaining additions, at a price that just can't get any better!

Phill Smith LIVE (Penguin LIVE)



"Phill Smith thinks differently. It must be the creativity from his top-notch graphic designer brain, leaking in to his mentalism brain that does it. Phill's ideas are smart, direct and practical, what more can any of us Mentalism junkies want?" - Ken Dyne

“When an engineer contemplates a problem, he seeks the most simple, yet robust solution available. Phill Smith's mentalism is a symphony of solutions. Elegant and strong, but forthright enough to be hugely compelling. His Quinta force is just one of many examples of his brilliance.” - Atlas Brookings

"There are not many who inspire me in mentalism. For me, Phill Smith delivers inspiration by the truck load." - Paul Brook

"I first learnt of Phill's work with his book Mitox, which was a fabulous book full of practical ideas I knew I could implement into my own performances. Since then we have become good friends and he never ceases to amaze me with his brilliant thinking and creative ideas!" - Looch


What will he teach?

The Furtive Glance By Liam Montier

The Furtive Glance by Liam Montier. Demonstrate Astral Projection and determine the contents of a spectator's pocket!

Use an ancient ritual to show that fate just never lets go... Relate a tale about an occultist killed by his phobia of tarot cards - and then prove that your spectators know more than they are letting on... PLUS Bonus effect included!

Liam Montier just can't seem to stop coming up with entertaining plots it would seem. Here he offers a selection of 'bizarre-esque' effects. Of particular note is Liam's excellent theatrical presentation and the outstanding construction of each of the effects. I think everyone will take something away from this manuscript and at this price, I'd say it's the bargain of the year!

"Well the ideas are great. simple, effective and should produce some great reactions. Good work" Christian Chelman

"Liam Montier's new booklet The Furtive Glance sparkles like a little gem. Three lessons in the art of good, commercial Bizarre Magic: atmospheric yet direct material with great detail and flow. There is a lucidity and magical logic to these ready-to-go routines, from which we all can learn" Caleb Strange

"If a book like this can convince someone like myself (a stubborn &!*%#...) that this area of our wonderful and beautiful art can really entertain an audience, then I imagine that many people who already perform in this area, or more importantly who don't, will see a new world of possibilities from this performance angle" Colin McLeod

Phill Smith - Mitox The Falsely Spoken Word


The first book in the infamous Mythology Trilogy, Mitox is a collection of 22 punchy modern mentalism effects for stage, cabaret and close-up, from the mind of UK mentalist Phill Smith. Each effect is designed to be simple and accessible for performers of all different levels but powerful enough for full-bore pro-grade performance in front of real, paying audiences.

Along with these high-impact miracles the book also contains numerous essays on the performance of mentalism as well as unique premises to create a new approach to performing, as well as great ideas on how to develop your own effects and ideas from scratch.

With 232 pages of dynamite material, Mitox is a must-read for any serious student of mentalism. Download the Mitox ebook today!

Phill Smith Yokai The Character of Mystery




The second book in the infamous Mythology Trilogy, Yokai is a 199 page collection of 14+ high power effects as well as essays on performance and unique premises, all from the mind of UK mentalist, writer, designer and consultant Phill Smith. All the material in the book has been crafted to develop and push a unique performing style, and are designed to be accessible to performers of all levels.


The book includes a powerful technique for learning any deck-stack, or building your own, an introduction to Phill's world-class Quinta force as well as a number of effects exploring some of the possibilities the method enables. There's a punchy real-world steel nail bend that will leave spectators stunned, designed around a strong psychological moment of proof, a great stage 'piece' that builds a huge moment with nothing more than some pieces of paper... and that's just a few of the miracles in the book.


Of the book, Phill says:

"In Mitox I drew a map to a new kind of mentalism. Now, with Yokai, it is time to take this roadmap and follow it to the next level. To illuminate the corners of the darkened room with new techniques and approaches, and to think again about what it means to become someone else. To think again about power and premise and to see what happens when the you follow the cutting edge right to the point."

Jerome Finley - Natural Mediumship

Natural Mediumship contains some VERY potent information. I feel the desire to let the curious know if your looking for a book on how to fake Spirit contact, this probably isn't it. I say probably, because while utilising these techniques allows you to commune with the departed in a realistic manner without actual need for the spirits of the deceased to exist, the contact is genuine. Are you familiar with creating reality tunnels and shifting belief systems? My mind boggles at combining this with the Spiritualist Mind Reading System and Medium Rare.

I have an uncle who is a minister, and part of his job involves working funerals laying spirits to rest and giving solace to the living. He is also called to visit hospitals to attend to the sick offering blessings and healing prayers. I have a lot of respect for the work he does. I feel it's a necessary vital role in any community, and yet I always felt it was too limiting to work from within a single paradigm. I prefer the freedom of shifting beliefs, as this allows you to work with virtually anyone's spiritual overview without compromising your own or imposing on theirs. As Chaos Magician Peter Carroll once said, "Belief itself is only a tool for achieving effects; it is not an end in itself."

This also brings me to an important fact, which is so obvious I hesitate to even mention it. If you have an issue with talking to the dead, you can simply reframe everything in this book to whatever your heart desires and/or artistic vision imagines. Mind Readers communicating with anthropomorphic submodalities, tapping into the Spiritus Mundi, or connecting a nature lover with the Genus Loci of their favorite park. Labeling and interacting with non-physical reality within performance offers so many potentials your imagination, or anothers borrowed, is very much the limit.

This work is so specialised into the emerging genre of Psycho-Spiritual Mentalism I don't wish to go into specifics of the various pieces it contains. Reviewing one of Jeromes books I can't ever seem to find a place to put the awesome trick ratings, though he deserves a gold star Smile . I trust I shared enough of what I absorbed that those who can work this material find it and give it a good home.

Tarbell 32: Ghostlite Mysteries


This lesson involves a technology which was revolutionary in its time, but has become quite commonplace now... I'm talking about glow-in-the-dark paint.

In the 1920's, a magician named S.W. Reilly developed a superior luminous paint which he named "Ghostlite," and he created quite a few magical uses for it.

Now, even though modern audiences won't be shocked to see things glowing in the dark, if used properly, the effects can still be fun and surprising.

And, a few of the effects use luminous technology in hidden ways. Plus, it's easier than ever to find the materials to construct these unique ideas.

I've deviated from the original lesson (which consisted of a number of isolated ideas) and instead, I've put it all together into a cohesive routine.

In fact, it's a full performance piece that can make you a lot of money during Halloween... or any time of year you want to sell something a bit different.

You'll learn how to test your spectator's psychic power to see if the spirits are willing to come out and play.

I'll show you how to have a ghostly apparition reveal a chosen card sealed in an envelope, and even give you a portable, self-contained version.

Then, see how to animate an eerie, glowing piece of chalk to deliver a personal message from the great beyond... Signed by the spectator's choice.

Also, a ghastly hand reaches from beyond the grave to retrieve one of its owner's belongings hidden by the spectator, but visible in the darkness.

Plus, I'll teach you to create many other odd manifestations, including a strange spectre ready to spring out at any moment from the most unexpected place.

And, as a bonus, you'll learn a couple of techniques for summoning spirits under "test conditions" while you are being restrained.

Of course, I explain every detail, including how to build the perfect table that allows you to perform the entire act without any extra assistants.

That's right, these are practical poltergeists for the professional performer. So, get ready to see just how much fun you can have when the lights go out.

Glimmer by Lloyd barnes



Glimmer is Lloyd Barnes' go-to Coin Through Glass.

Most Coin Through Glass effects shy away from the most crucial element, the visual. GLIMMER squares up and takes it on head to head.


If you’re using a coin to penetrate a glass, you should hold the glass naturally without covering the mouth and you better make damn sure you can see exactly the where and when that coin passes through glass. Otherwise, you may as well use a coffee mug. Most practitioners fail to do this.


Streamlined to perfection over almost a decade of real world performances, GLIMMER takes your audiences understanding of modern physics and beats it into submission. With no cover and inches away from their eyes, Lloyd passes particle through particle with nothing to hide.


• Impromptu.

• Borrowed.

• Easy to do.

Brain Play By Bazz




During your favourite word revelation routine you ask your participant to think of a letter in their word and you are able to name the very letter that they are thinking of (a seemingly free choice) with 100% accuracy. Or you take advantage from knowing the thought of letter(s) and gain some incredible extra hits and even an insane prediction or drawing duplication.




Please note: This is aimed at the intermediate mentalist and beyond. Therefore it is assumed that the buyer already knows how to gain secret info.




What people are saying:




“Having just read through this I must say I’m highly impressed. In my humble opinion Bazz has taken a concept of Banachek’s and made it sure fire.

Dare I even say that he has improved it considerably. This is right up my street and I will be using it for sure.

Highly recommended from me!”

– Michael Murray




“Im very impressed with it, you did a great job.” – Luca Volpe




“Realy enjoyed it mate, particularly liked the drawing duplication application.” – Karl Scott




“I loved it. Inspired a whole load of new ideas for me and I learnt some great approaches to this great concept.




When I read the blurb for this and it said it was 100% I doubted it but it really is. Recommended from me too.” – Jamie Badman




“I like it!” – Daniel Meadows

ParaLabs - Sense and Meaning



I'm going to post this in a few spots as I don't want anyone to miss what I think is one of the best books out in a long time. Knowing most mentalists spend most of their time here....

I recently received (as a gift) a copy of the lecture notes that Ranier Mees and Thomas Heine sold after their lecture at PSYCRETS 2012. Calling these lecture notes, or even a booklet, doesn’t do “Sense And Meaning” justice.

97 pages long and obviously a lot of time and expense went into the layout, cover and binding. It is a very nice looking book, in keeping in style with their earlier releases.

Of course a books value shouldn’t be judged by its length or looks but by its content. And as we’ve come to expect from the men from ParaLabs, this is content of the highest quality !

Obviously Ranier and Thomas explore the implications of sense and meaning in mentalism. They share their ideas on creating emotionally vibrant experiences via their “sequences.” Sequence is what most of us would call an effect/trick/experiment/feat but their term is very appealing to me.

Ranier and Thomas know quite a bit about language and how the brain functions and consistently work this knowledge into their sequences. Their applications for applying evidence of a particular kind of brain functioning to selecting the best participant are stunning. This isn’t a linear “are you creative or logical” but something far more subtle.

In their hands, language becomes a method in itself. While there are some similarities this is different from Kenton Kneppers work in this area.

They share their “targets” for presentation which are essentially the themes they apply to each sequence. One sequence might tap into self-awareness, another into astonishment while yet another deals with dismay and consternation.

Don’t worry, your audiences won’t leave dismayed; the target is a means to a positive ending (if that is what you want). Each target is explored in detail including effects that illustrate its theme.

My favorite part of the book is what Ranier and Thomas call ParaLogue and is their opening sequence. Considering they still regularly use this, I’m shocked they were so generous to include it in so much detail.

Obviously I can’t tip it but the impact on the audience is that they are hearing your thoughts in their minds. No props, appropriate for audiences from 1 to 1000 and all the other “bathing suit” clichés are absolutely true here.

ParaLogue is perfect for many venues and purposes. It is a true “mentalistic” opener (as they like to call some of their work) but by no means is resticted to this position. When I read the denouement, I was grinning from ear to ear. It is actually a 2 tiered conclusion, the second taking a powerful and unexpected turn from the first. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, Thomas and Ranier!

The Magic Shard Tree is taught in detail. I believe this is in Neal Scryer and Friends as well. I don’t know if there are any differences but readers of that book know the strength and intimacy that Thomas and Ranier evoke in their work.

There is a bonus section titled “Rashomon Readings.” Another brilliant sequence, this time allowing you to incorporate methods we associate with the Hoy Book Test, to reading the minds of audience members.

I don’t want to go on about each and every effect (though I’m pretty close ). The greatest value in Sense And Meaning isn’t the individual effects (as near perfect as they may be) but the ways of thinking Ranier and Thomas teach us.

The unique talents of these two gentlemen has been more and more evident with each item and book they’ve released. Inside Sense And Meaning, everything comes together and provides knowledge and inspiration that we can all benefit from. Bravo, Thomas and Ranier!

The Fource by Dr. Bill


"Performing effects with all of the spectators is something that many mentalists and magicians miss out on. The Fource gives you several very strong options to employ with the entire audience. I am using it in every show. Thanks Bill!" - Lior Manor

"Hi Bill. Eureka! Why the hell didn't I think of that!!!! Well we all did, but never as (deleted for security reasons J). It's positively brilliant. An opener par excellence. Great thinking Bill. Just my cup of tea. Simple, powerful and memorable. You newest admirer." - Larry Becker

"First of all, I think The Fource is absolutely the most brilliant way of performing (deleted for security reasons J). Everything since Ted's "No-Prop Act" has been, I feel, a re-hash, whereas your routine breathes completely new life into it. I will be performing it your way from now on. Wonderful stuff, Bill." - Gabe Abelson

"Stop talking about The Fource!!!! It's too good!!! It's definitely one of those things that is going to have everyone saying, "You mean I had the ability to do this all the time and I never thought of it!? What was I thinking!!!!?" - Greg Arce

"I love simple, effective ideas that are truly new. The Fource is a one of them. It takes standard material and elevates it many notches. I have been using my own variation of this effect in my current show, but plan to adapt The Fource as a definite improvement! Many top names have contributed to this work and I found myself considering ways I can use some of their input for some my other material. The book made me think and that's what I love. This is not pipedream stuff, but workable presentations that really hit home with your audience as a whole. I am excited by this book!" - Richard Osterlind

The Fource takes well-established psychological methods that all mentalists know and stretches them in completely new directions and dimensions. Remember what Dr. Bill did with Miraskill?

He took a seventy-year-old idea and turned it on its head, breathing new life into a classic of mentalism and resulting in the highly acclaimed Mirabill.

Or how about what Dr. Bill did with the venerable Instant Magic Square? His inspired thinking morphed it into Subliminal Square, a completely original and new presentation published in Banachek’s award winning Psychological Subtleties 2. Well, he's done it again.

The Fource is the result of one of those rare inspirations that seemingly appear out of nowhere, arriving “wholecloth.” The universal response from everyone who saw an early draft was “Why haven’t we thought of this before?”

Along with Dr. Bill’s ideas, The Fource ebook includes incredible innovations from Larry Becker, Millard Longman, Alain Nu, Rick Roth, Greg Arce, Julian “Bev” Moore, Alexandre, Sean Waters, Jerome Finley, Enrique Enriquez, Lior Manor, Christopher Taylor, Bryn Reynolds and Tony Razzano.

The Fource ebook also includes a folder of JPGs to be used with a variety of contributions including the tasty Outlaw flavored contribution from Rick Roth "Fourceclosure" that can play close up or on the largest of stages. Dr. Bill also supplies links to sites that will allow you to easily customize your own similar presentations.

Subliminal Square mentioned above has been reborn as the “Sublime Subliminal Square” and is now completely hands off. Just you, the audience and…The Fource.

Not only does Dr. Bill’s new ebook supply a variety of meaningful presentations for his original methodology, it also contains several routines that don’t use The Fource yet tap into the same genre of “group dynamics.” Workers know the value of effects that capture the imagination of the entire audience and “gets those hands up.”

Mind Index by Dr. Bill




"Read Mind Index over a couple of times. It contains very thoughtful (that's a joke son) and well constructed performance pieces built around established methodology that well versed mentalists are familiar with, but all too often don't explore deep enough to extract maximum entertainment value. With no freaky looking apparatus, and using the simplest of materials you have presented a fine assortment of mysteries for the minimalist that are well thought out and professionally presented." - Larry Becker




"Bill, what a delight to find an eBook containing superb material with practical applications. That it is well-written is a bonus. Congratulations. Regards," - Lee Earle




"I have read through this great e-book more than once. The first time as a performer and I was smiling because these are all fun and entertaining routines that I knew would play well. The next time I read through I put myself in the mindset of an audience member and imagine how they would feel being on the receiving end of these routines... again a quality feeling came over me. In times where many are looking for a better method then and effect, Mind Index offer you what you really need, entertaining, fun, and mysterious presentations. Thanks for this Bill." - Andrew Gerard




"I liked the Epic Index routine and I really liked the ideas behind School Dazed. The title effect, Mind Index, is also a stand out inspiration. Song & Dance... loved it as I did the 7 Deadly Sins routine. Mentalink is nice and I know many that will love this idea. I really liked Mind Index and I'm sure it will do well. There are lots of great ideas and routines and thinking behind all the effects." - Greg Arce




"I've never been disappointed with Dr. Bill's material and this one certainly shouldn't disappoint you, either. It's well worth ordering." - Jheff




Showcasing eight mind bending effects with index cards from Dr. Bill, the creator of Mirabill and co-creator of The Witches’ Almanac. This innovative ebook includes a reprint of Millard Longman’s original Acidus Novus as well as an instructional video of Acidus Novus in action taught by Millard.




Song & Dance teaches you how to divine both a participant’s cell phone number and ring tone as verified when the phone rings, playing their song.




In Heart2Heart you tell a participant if a past love was reciprocated or unrequited as well the secret name of the object of their desire.




In 7 Deadly Sins, Dr. Bill shares one of his most cherished presentations and teaches The Cognitive Shift, a “sleight of mind” method that transforms a basic experiment in mind reading into a journey inside your participant’s imagination.




Free Willy is a unique, single question Q & A stressing the sitter’s influence over the answer to their question.




Epic Index introduces a testing kit from Duke University and recreates test condition experiments, culminating in the “subject” overcoming odds of 3000 to 1.




School Dazed, in collaboration with Millard Longman, takes your guest back to memories of their first days of school. The intensity of the method makes for a powerful mind-to-mind connection that will be remembered for a long time to come.




The title effect, Mind Index, directs the participant to make up a set of personalized word cards. He concentrates on any one, creating a mental image and exploring it with all of his senses. You depict the sensations in startlingly vivid detail as they occur and ultimately reveal precisely what is being imagined. Via Dr. Bill’s Guided Imagination Process © you get into the guest’s head and describe his very thought processes.




In Mentalink you borrow a pen and draw the five Zener symbols. An audience member chooses one of the signs and it promptly disappears!




Shh…this next revelation is a secret! All the effects in Mind Index can also be performed with business cards. Some can be accomplished simply with paper. Dr. Bill just really liked the title Mind Index!




Many of the principles found within have multiple applications and will stimulate your creativity as you find ways to create new effects and enhance those already in your repertoire. This is especially true of The Cognitive Shift and The Guided Imagination Process.

Peter Turner's The S.T.E.M. System with special guest Anthony Jacquin - Limited Edition



Peter Turner has been privileged to work on television, radio and live shows around the world as a consultant, expert and off screen advisor to some of the biggest names in our industry.

Peter finally reveals to you the secrets and techniques used behind the scenes to make those performers' performances look miraculous.

This DVD course is invaluable for live performance, or for performers looking to improve the level of their online content, promotional videos and social media campaigns by taking them to the next level. For the first time you will learn techniques to make your routines impossible to comprehend for your audiences without having to creatively edit or cut out chunks of the performance.

Also covered in over four hours of in-depth discussions are techniques on Hypnotic work, building premises and scripting your performance so everything seems very fair and without question. The course concludes in a discussion with Anthony Jacquin, the highly acclaimed hypnotist and performer.

This course, hosted by David Penn, not only covers pre-show, all of the effects and methods discussed can be used real time in live performances. This is an in depth study into a world that few performers get to know about, an area of mentalism that is rarely talked about.

The techniques on this project are invaluable for performers that market their brand with videos, advertise on social media, appear on radio and television or just want to know as much about this beautiful art form as is possible.

This DVD set is not for novices or amateurs because the material here is so powerful, you will leave your participants' minds BLOWN!

ET Q&A By R.W. Cosley (Instant Download) by RW (RedDevil) Cosley


The Question and Answer plot is the most engaging in the performance of mentalism...And this is a take on Q&A you have never seen before!

"I gotta say I was skeptical, but I was wrong. This is a worker, if that's not damning it with faint praise. It takes a classic effect and adds a couple of elements to make something new and fresh. If you can stand that, I'm pretty sure you'll love and use this. I haven't bought any of Reddevil's other work, but based on this I will. Congrats Robert." --Dave Moses

What if you could conduct a Question and Answer demonstration in a parlor or table setting, one in which a spectator writes down a secret question about her life circumstances…and then other members of the group besides the performer were able to provide an “accurate” reading based on that question (without them actually knowing the contents of the questions itself)?

In other words, what if members of the group could “really” divine elements of her question and contribute to the answer? And without stooges or DR…

Interested?

This is not only possible, but repeatable. ET Q&A takes a typical one-billet reading routine and turns it into an emotional group experience. With the performer as the catalyst, you give members of the table "the gift" of being able to cross the bridge of a spectator's mind and heart...

They will leave the performance not only astonished, but empowered...This is ET Q&A...

"Robert has put together a beautiful intimate Q&A routine. Everything is very well orchestrated, and with only a couple of billets you can literally have a little act in your pocket to perform at the table..." --Luca Volpe

"It's a fantastic idea!"--Michael Murray

"This is a gem, potentially a very powerful piece of emotional mentalism and that opinion is based on just the first read. Love it." --Ewen Wilson

"It is powerful stuff and, presented in an informal and conversational manner, is engaging and entertaining."--Neil Somerville

"I think it is an excellent routine, and Robert's method of incorporating others is fantastic. It is well thought out, well written, expanded where it needs to be, a recap of actions taken, and a summary. The manuscript is an excellent learning tool for the routine. As for the routine, although it is described as a dinner table routine, it is not by any means limited to that. It will play as stated, at a dinner table, but will also play at a party, walk around, and on stage."--Tony Iacoviello

"I gotta say I was skeptical, but I was wrong. This is a worker, if that's not damning it with faint praise. It takes a classic effect and adds a couple of elements to make something new and fresh. If you can stand that, I'm pretty sure you'll love and use this. I haven't bought any of Reddevil's other work, but based on this I will. Congrats Robert." --Dave Moses

ET is a 30-Page PDF e-book in 16-point font. The routine contains the billet methodology, the "ET" reading system, and sample scripts.

Placebo by Daniel Madison



Placebo is Daniel Madison's most recent book containing the thoughts of a man pushing the boundaries of what is possible with a deck of cards.

This is a collection of sleights and ideas for deception with playing cards.
Sometimes difficult, sometimes simple, always risky.
Ideas that should not work, but do.

These are trophy moves, not for laymen,
but boasting moves for the entertainment of the privy.
Routines and effects are merely vehicles for ideas.

I offer no direction, sometimes suggestions
but deliberately no more than ideas.
If you think they work or not, you are right.

I am Daniel Madison.

This is Placebo.

Quinta By Phill Smith




Quinta: A Miracle in Five Parts is the comprehensive guide to creating and performing jaw-dropping mentalism effects using this powerful, flexible utility method. For the first time ever in one place I collect together the latest work on Quinta – how it works, how to perform it in a massive range of situations, alongside a huge swathe of extremely diverse effects, both classic and all new.




Quinta is a robust method for controlling the choices of a spectator – openly, fairly and in a very straightforward way. The method is simple and easy to learn and the appearance is clear and wonderfully deceptive. Once you learn and understand how to do it you’ll begin to unlock thousands of possible new routines and ideas.




Included in the book are around 23 effects and routines that use Quinta, but it seems churlish to brag about how many massively diverse routines are included in a book that explains how to force literally anything, completely propless.




Additionally there is a bafflingly complete Deep Geek Thinking chapter that goes into way too much depth about why Quinta works and how you can use that knowledge to improve your effects and use the Quinta principle to create your own performance pieces from scratch. I also include a range of “modules” throughout the book to help with the process of clicking new routines together. The book even contains a chapter of foolproof methods to deal with errors as you are first learning, minimise their impact or even avoid them completely.




Quinta is suitable for stage and close up and works in all kinds of settings and contexts, strong enough for professional performance and accessible enough for creative everyday use.




The ebook is 171 pages, illustrated throughout and laden with useful information about Quinta (and other stuff). Download it today and put the most powerful new forcing technique out there into your performing arsenal.

digit by dekel


DIGIT by DekEl with Kenton Knepper, is both an effect you will perform right away, and a principle you will apply to countless effects.
"This is an ingenious principle that is entirely reliable and realistic. Everyone needs this because it is simple, direct, and completely impromptu. Just the sort of thing mentalists want to blow people away anytime, one on one or in a group, with no real effort and entirely off-the-cuff without preparation. This is one of those things that mentalists will be relying upon for a very long time...and those first to get it will be on the cutting edge of our future foundation of methods. That said, it is incredibly simple and easy, with only a few trials with friends needed as practice to learn."
— Kenton Knepper
Main Effect:
A spectator holds a number of fingers behind their back, and the mentalist does likewise. The spectator is to hold out as many fingers as their number when they hear it called out, but to keep that number hidden at all times. Naturally, the mentalist brings out his hand and is showing the same number of fingers held up as the spectator is holding behind their back.
A variation is when the mentalist plays "Rock, Paper, Scissors" and always wins...with the spectator hiding their choice behind their back!
That's right, a spectator can hold any number of fingers behind their back, or do Rock, Paper, Scissors, and the mentalist will ALWAYS KNOW.
Now, that's just for starters. Before we tell you what else you can do with DIGIT, let's get a few things out of the way first.

Dan Harlan - Tarbell 31: Rope Magic


Tarbell 31: Rope Magic (Instant Download) You've NEVER seen rope do this!
When it comes to versatile magic props, a simple piece of rope ranks very high on the list, and this lesson explores some of that versatility.

You'll learn a few knots that appear, vanish, and jump from place-to-place. There's animation, transformations, of course, cut and restored and more.

Dan begins with a quick opening effect where three knots behave quite strangely... first they appear, then they melt right off of the rope.

Next, a single knot shows off its supernatural-climbing skill by instantly jumping from the bottom to the top of its rope, with a little help from Dan.

Then, using the same one-handed move, Dan shows you how to use the rope to snatch a borrowed ring out of the air and catch it on an appearing knot.

And, he shares another nice opener where a piece of thread turns into a rope and the rope becomes animated and unties itself.

Then, Dan explores three ways to change a cigarette into a rope... one where a lit cigarette changes in your hand...

one where you visibly stretch the cigarette, and the third I dress up quite a bit by changing not only the cigarette, but just about everything else, too.

Then, you learn an easy way to tie a knot that simply vanishes, and a way to make many knots appear... and just as quickly untie them all.

Plus, Dan shows you step-by-step the correct way to tie a complicated-looking knot that is really a false-knot which fades away. And once you master it,...

Dan gives you a presentational angle that emotionally connects to let your audience know why you're tying so many knots, and care when they all come out.

Then, we delve into a ton of techniques to cut and restore a rope and I string a few together into a cute routine of magical tug-o-war between two helpers.

And finally, Dan teaches a very clever, and unusual way to apparently cut a rope into multiple pieces and still be able to restore it quite easily.

So, if you're like Dan, and hundreds of other professionals, you'll realize the surprising power of a simple piece of rope when you know what to do with it.
