Mental Frisbee - Nathan Kranzo

“How To Get Them Laughing Within Seconds And Hold The Audience In The Palm Of Your Hand” At last, a mentalism opener that fits in your pocket and can play to hundreds of people.

The $2,500.00 Frisbee??? Over the past few years whenever I shared this routine with a fellow performer they would immediately ask if the effect was available. You see…..the laughter and visual color this routine creates makes it so unique and commercial that you would be silly to not want to perform it.

A very popular mentalist offered $2,500.00 to me if he could perform it exclusively for one year. He said if I ever plan to sell it it should sell for no less than $1,000.00 or people won’t appreciate what they have…a refined routine from a pro’s act. And a really good one at that.

Here are a few reasons why it might be of value and interest to you…..

It’s the perfect opener, which is PRICELESS to the professional performer.

It packs flat. VERY flat. The routine involves a ton of audience participation. You fill up the stage WITHOUT an expensive illusion. The routine plays just as well for 30 people as it does for 3000. The effect is funny AND strong mentalism.

The use of Frisbees gives the routine unique appeal. The routine includes a full professional script for you to follow. The routine is full of comedy to put the audience at ease.

And that’s just the beginning of the knowledge that is shared in this routine. The BIG SECRET about Mental Frisbee is how I used it to set up other classics of mentalism. I will include the exact routine I follow up with including great ideas from David Hoy, Ron Wilson, and David Ben. MENTAL FRISBEE contains important timing and performance techniques that will help you command the stage, develop a rapport with the audience, and make you look like an amazing entertainer. MENTAL FRISBEE is the cullmination of several techniques and principles combed from the minds of some of the fields top mentalists. There are some bonus ideas from Michael Weber that will add quite a bit to your performance if you try them out. I’m sure you will. MENTAL FRISBEE is simple to understand and there are no “moves” or sleight of hand. The method is based on clever principles combined with being WAAAAY ahead of the audience. This is NOT a routine based on suggestion or NLP. This is a strong routine that will always work and always conclude succesfully with a strong punch.

Here is the effect as seen by the audience:

Five frisbees are tossed out into the audience. Whoever catches a Frisbee is asked to join the performer on stage. The performer explains that the people who caught the Frisbees may seem random, but are in fact not. Adding to that he explains that certain people “attract” particular colors. The “law of attraction” if you will. As each person approaches the stage the performer gives a hilarious comedy reading to them regarding their color. As a finale the performer explains he will test an audience member to see if they can read the performer’s mind. A sixth volunteer is asked to try and read the performer’s mind and “receive” the thought of color the performer is trying to send him mentally. After a little humorous banter the volunteer finally announces the color that has popped into his mind. To the complete astonishment of the audience the performer proceeds to show that indeed the volunteer is correct in his “hunch”.

It looks like this…..

The performer tells the volunteer to “blurt out the color that pops into their mind when I snap my fingers”. They say “green” for example, and then the performer announces “that’s exactly right!” and it gets a huge laugh. Then the performer proceeds to show proof that was the target color via a great reveal that is NOT just pulling a piece of paper out your pocket that says “green”.

The five different colors are represented by the frisbees the spectator’s hold as “Human Visual Aids” if you will. The spectators can also be used in a dramatic way to help with the final revelation. The volunteers are then used for a very strong follow up effect where each one of their thoughts are revealed. This effect is taught as a bonus routine in the manual. If you are a pro entertainer, or thinking about going pro, you can’t afford to NOT use this hilarious and strong mentalism effect.

“So What DO I Get When I Purchase This Effect?”

- You will receive the complete Mental Frisbee manuscript detailing the VERY CLEVER SECRET TO THE EFFECT, the detailed handling, presentation and framing of the effect, plus additional thoughts and ideas that can be added to the routine. Within this manuscript is also the complete script which is packed full with all the comedy lines and audience management. You will also get Nathan’s follow up routine that he performs after Mental Frisbee with ideas from David Hoy, David Ben, and Ron Wilson. This manuscript is signed and numbered.

- A certificate giving you full performance rights and TV rights.

- The FIVE special soft frisbees. These frisbees are made from special material that enables them to fold up and fit in your pocket. Each frisbee comes with it’s own very small nylon pouch.

Collard - John Archer

Watch clip

The ultimate, super-charged comedy presentation for the Koran Medallion!

Ever since the release of the best-selling "Educating Archer" DVD we have had countless requests for this routine to be released. Finally after months of research and countless prototypes and anticipation, we can now bring to you this highly-acclaimed, professional routine.

The basic outline of Collard begins with you introducing a large stuffed toy dog* and announcing that you would like the audience to name him or her for you. Now you have several spectators in the audience call out a letter at a time, which you make a note of on your home-made birth certificate! Note at this point - none of the letters are forced and they can spell out even the most bizarre of "names!"

You now have a spectator join you on the stage and draw their attention to the dog that has been sitting at the other side of the stage and especially the collar that he or she is wearing. They will see that the collar already has a name on it…impossibly; it matches the previous randomly selected name exactly!

The beauty of Collard is that it can be worked in parlour and cabaret situations, stage performances, and also kid's shows! This routine really is the ultimate in creative thinking, superb routining and a premise that proves that stuffed toys are not just for children!

If you like good, direct, entertaining and funny presentations accompanied by strong Magic and Mentalism; you will absolutely love Collard, which has received rave reviews from Magicians, Mentalists and laypeople alike! Now you too can add this outstanding routine to your act!

Your "Collard" comes with the precision manufactured name-tag gimmick, the secret something to add to a regular pad of paper and full written instructions.

*Supply your own toy dog, pad of paper and collar strap.

This a great routine and was born from "Don Waynes Room Service" A VERY nice trick no longer available. (this is what John actually uses) however if you fancied doing the original "Room Service" routine then you can just adapt the gimmick supplied... Great addtion to your stage / cabaret act! "M"

Technicolour Prediction - Martin Lewis Technicolor Prediction

The performer displays three envelopes - one red, one green, and one yellow. Two spectators, a man, and a woman, are invited to each select an envelope. The choice is fair, but the performer insists he has predicted the spectators actions. We'll assume the man chooses the red, the woman the yellow. Each is asked to open their chosen envelope, remove the papers within, and read out loud the message thereon.

The man reads out "I predict you will choose the red envelope." The woman reads "I predict you will pick the yellow envelope." Of course, the audience assumes this is burlesque mentalism. However, the performer's green envelope contains a paper reading, "I predict I will be left with the green envelope; the man will choose the red; and the woman will choose the yellow!"

Very clean, simple, effective, direct to the point & fun! You really should be doing this one!

Highly reccomended!!! "M"

Palm Mystery - Becker & Earle

Palm Mystery is classic pseudo-psychometry that automatically delivers humorous "readings" plus a design duplication finish.

Participants study their own palms, sketch their thoughts in the white profile head on each of the five colorful, plastic coated cards handed out, and then fairly mix all their cards together.

The enclosed "Designs, Doodles, and Dreams" booklet, lets you 'analyze' the lines and doodles on the first four cards, successfully and hilariously connecting each sketch with its artist.

For a finale, you repeat the process in reverse, looking at the remaining helper's hand, reading his mind, and then duplicating his drawing sight unseen!

The ESP Chip - Alexander Allen

The spectator freely selects any one of the five ESP symbols. There is absolutely no force. The performer displays a Poker Chip, blank on both sides and drops it into a small pay envelope. The spectator is asked to concentrate on his selected symbol, as the envelope with the blank chip is held to his forehead. When the spectator subsequently opens the envelope, an impression of his selected design is found to have transferred onto the chip, engraved on it.

That is the original effect, but we have added more. Variations include making the selected design jump off the card, which is now blank, and be found engraved on the chip. We even give you an extra and completely different effect with the props supplied, where you predict an ESP Chip selected by a spectator. You get every thing required - the ESP Cards, the ESP Chips, pay envelope, all necessary "extras".

Price: £7

Symbolic - Peter Duffie

Casino Royale - Viking/Becker

You won't find a stronger prediction effect anywhere, even if you pay £1000!

A spectator is invited to take an imaginary trip to a glittering gambling casino somewhere in the world, such as Las Vegas, Reno, Atlantic City, or Monte Carlo.

A large goblet filled with colorful casino chips representing over thirty-five world famous casinos is introduced. The performer displays the chips, removing and reading aloud the names of some of the Casinos, such as Caesar's Palace and The Taj Mahal. The performer has the spectator shake the goblet, randomly mixing all the chips. He is asked to select any one of the chips and to place it in his right hand jacket pocket without looking at it.

The spectator is now offered a pack of playing cards that are shown to be well mixed. The spectator deals the cards face down, stopping at any time. This card is placed in full view, and the spectator is asked to continue dealing, but this time dealing the cards face up, again stopping at any card desired by the spectator. The spectator has had a free choice and has selected two cards which are placed in his pocket without looking at them.

The performer now displays a packet of fifty pseudo, jumbo $100 bills (these are really realistic). Handing the spectator a manila envelope, the performer instructs the spectator to cut off an unknown batch of $100 bills. These will represent the amount of money he is going to wager. The selection is made behind the performer's back, sealed in the envelope without either knowing the amount. The balance of the bills are placed aside.

The performer now explains that the spectator has just visited a world famous gambling casino freely chosen from a choice of over thirty five.

He has dealt himself a Blackjack hand, selecting the cards in the fairest possible way, including choosing one of the cards while dealing the cards face-up.

And finally, he has wagered an unknown amount of money by randomly sealing a quantity of jumbo $100 bills in an envelope.

The performer next points to a sealed envelope fastened to the wall. Any spectator is asked to remove the envelope and extract a folded sheet of paper which the performer unfolds and reads aloud.

1. The letter states that the spectator will visit the Las Vegas Royal Hotel and Casino. The performer has the spectator check the accuracy of the written prediction. He is then asked to remove and read aloud the name inscribed on the randomly selected casino chip selected moments before. The spectator does so and calls out, the Las Vegas Royal Hotel and Casino!

2. Reading aloud the second part of the prediction, which states that the spectator will deal himself a winning hand of Blackjack with a total of 20. The spectator checks the accuracy of the printed prediction and after removing the two cards from his pocket, announces that his hand does in fact total 20!

3. The performer reads the next and final part of the printed prediction which states that the spectator will wager, for example, $2,200 on a hand of Blackjack. The spectator is asked to open and remove the unknown quantity of bills he earlier sealed in the envelope and count them aloud onto the performer's outstretched palm. The spectator counts a total of 22 bills, a total of $2,200!

Please read the description again. It's all true! If this prediction doesn't drive them nuts, nothing will (but please don't use this to start a new religion). This is reputation-building material! Comes complete with real-casino type clay chips, goblet, 50 realistic $100 bills, wood tray, cards, and detailed instructions. Satisfaction Guaranteed!

Chronologue - Bob Cassidy / Collectors workshop

If you only buy one trick this year let it be this one...

It's one of those "must carry 'round" items you will have with you at all times. Listen to this: Have the spectator think of ANY date in the year. Toss him your little pocket diary; "Open the diary to your selected date, and as you do, note that I have hand written a different card in every day of the year; 365 days, seven decks of cards spread at random, check it out."... "Do you have your date? If you had chosen the date before, would it have been the same card? No? What about the date after? No? For the first time, then, what card is written on your date?" The spectator names the card.
The performer then removes an envelope from the same diary held by the spectator and upon opening it, reveals one card and one card only... and it is the same card as named by the spectator!.

This is a diabolically clever effect and, more importantly, sufficiently strong to guarantee a lasting impression. It's always ready. This will be on your A List guaranteed.

BONUS! Now including two great additional routines by two working professionals. You get an extrmely great effect and handling by Richard Osterlind and another by Richard Gerlitz. This plus Cassidy's original instructions give you a powerful impromptu killer effect.

I have used this personally at virtually EVERY table I ever worked for the last several years... It is so simple its unbelieveable that it could create such a strong impression. An absolute killer! - M

Ultimate Flashback - Larry Becker

THE LAST WORD IN BOOK TESTS

If you thought the original Flashback was great...Wait until you see the Ultimate Flashback version. Included are four new and examinable paperback novels plus a copy of an unpre¬pared Webster's Dictionary. And a fifth paperback designed exclusively to perform the "Hoy Book Test" without having to miscall the selected page number. Here's a brief description of some of the incredible effects you'll be able to perform:

• A spectator concentrates on the first word on any page in any of the five paperbacks provided. Instantly the performer can reveal the word the spectator is thinking of.
• The spectator can point to any word in a paragraph on the selected page and you can proceed to discern it.
• The spectator concentrates on a proper name elsewhere on the page and you can immediately reveal it.
• The spectator merely thinks of a word on the next line and you've pre¬dicted its location in an unprepared dictionary.
• You and a spectator freely select identical words in each others book .
• Three spectators each think of a word in their freely selected book and you instantly reveal all three words.
• This is the greatest version ever of the Hoy Book Test, without having to miscall the selected page. In addition, you reveal the spectator's thoughts.... not just a single word.

Naturally you wouldn't do all of the above effects in a single performance, but, you could. And there's more. Those of you who own the original "Flashback" you will appreciate the fact that the words selected in the new Ultimate Flashback books consist of five letters or more. No sweating over the discernment of a two or three letter word. Without question, there's no finer word or book test anywhere. Larry swears by it and so will you!

No Think Lunch Bags - Lee Earle / Ken Driscoll

Imagine handing out four or five ordinary looking brown paper lunch bags to your audience and asking each person to secretly place a personal item inside their bag. The bags are then folded over several times taped, stapled or otherwise sealed and passed to one person who collects them in a larger bag ( at this point depending on your performing style you could offer paper or plastic – in either case the four bags would be put into the larger bag) to be mixed. The smaller bags could then be randomly withdrawn from the larger bag and handed to you; removing the contents from inside you would carefully study it, describe the personality of the person that last held the item and in fact loaded it into the bag… after describing this person you would be able to successfully return the item to its owner – with our system there is no thinking required, no pre-show work, no stooges, no mistakes… you can hand out these four bags and a fifth if you desire… and without fail know who loaded which bag… this does not require them to stay in a certain position, in fact you could have them load the bags from the audience, then send the bags forward, only to join you on stage later pointing out to everyone that not only have the bags been mixed, but now the volunteers have been mixed; and to get around that awkwardly obvious last bag last volunteer, you could fain trouble with the first or second bag offering to come back to it later, now at the end of your routine you’ll have two people and two items that after a bit of byplay you’ll easily be able correctly deduce who owns which item. These are a ton of fun to work with, and this fun will spill out into your performance… making this an enjoyable performance piece for both you and your audience. BTW These are acceptable for use in shows ranging from your wealthiest adult shows to your youngest kid shows – kids see TV shows like the DEAD ZONE and if you could do what he did even if only to see an arm putting an item into a lunch bag they would be amazed.

Eye Candy by Becker and Earle

The performer tears a few pages from a current copy of Time, Business Week, or Newsweek magazine, giving the pages to people in the audience. They pass them on to others, ensuring a random selection of helpers. The Mentalist, with two of the helpers, illustrates how our eyes are attracted by the clever placement of text or graphics in almost all magazine editorials and ads. One participant's page is torn into more than a dozen pieces to guarantee a random outcome by eliminating any bias resulting from the page layout. Obviously, every scrap has totally different printed content on both sides. While the mindreader's back is turned , the participant freely discards all but one piece which he holds between his forefinger and thumb for everyone (except the Mentalist) to see. After verbally ensuring that the helper can read numerous words and phrases on the scrap of paper, and while the performer's back remains turned toward the participant, he says, "I am visualizing part of a word but it's somewhat obscured by your thumb. Move your thumb over, please. That's better. Would you please read for the first time that which Business Week printed on the piece of magazine page you chose. I believe the word " soared " was under your thumb. Is that correct?" He exclaims, " YES !"

No stooges No assistants No pre-show work No sleights No switches No writing No mirrors Nothing added or taken away Helper can stand across the room No electronics Unbreakable Not the same words every time Fully examinable, even the discarded scraps!

Digital Feedback - Richard Osterlind

Richard Osterlind's DIGITAL FEEDBACK takes the traditional add-a-number routine into the 21st century. Imagine two groups of spectators, each multiplying two 2-digit numbers on a pocket calculator to arrive at a totally random 4-digit number. The performer writes a prediction and sets it aside. He then begins to slowly reveal the numbers that make up the 4-digit products arrived at by the spectators. The mulitplication is then done by longhand to show that the calculator's products were correct. For the mind-numbing finish, the two products are added together and found to match the performer's prediction.This routine, originally featured in Osterlind's Dynamic Mysteries, has not been widely performed due to the difficulties in obtaining the proper apparatus. Now, with DIGITAL FEEDBACK, you'll be able to add this powerful routine to your own show.

You receive the very special scientific calculator, hand-modified by Richard Osterlind, plus a manuscript which describes this powerful routine, in addition to other possible effects.

The Xpert - Neil Tobin

Discover An Indispensable New Utility Device for Mentalists and Magicians. One that's already being used by performing mentalists and magicians who appreciate its understated power and seemingly limitless possibilities. Utilizing the subtle principle illuminated in Kenton Knepper's manuscript, X, and launching it into the next dimension, the Xpert makes possible a wide variety of miraculously direct and virtually sleight-free effects, including:

Out of Body Xpert: A borrowed coin is chosen from a handful of change, marked with a participant's initial, has its date noted, and is tightly held in anybody's hands- yet the performer invisibly extracts the coin; it is soon found in the pocket of another participant some distance away!

Xpert Epic: The performer clearly and boldly numbers the blank sides of three postcards one through three. Picking up each numbered postcard in proper sequence, the performer shows the number on top and then writes his thoughts beneath. At the conclusion, all three postcards are shown to have correct predictions and may be given away afterward. No forces necessary.

Xpert X-ed Card:A card is freely selected (no force) and kept facedown while its back is visibly marked with a bold X. The cards are mixed, and the performer not so amazingly locates the X-ed card. But then comes the surprise-although the performer is no sleight-of-hand wizard, he is a mentalist: the X-ed card is turned face up to reveal the words "My Prediction" printed on its face. All the cards may be examined or given away. Instant reset, ends clean, no switches.

Xpert Vampire Hunter: A participant selects and signs a card to represent her in the role of "vampire hunter." To represent a vampire, another card is signed with an ankh, the ancient symbol of the immortal; it is then lost within a packet of cards. The participant inserts here card face up into the packet anywhere she chooses: if she's a successful vampire hunter, the vampire will be found just beneath her card. But when the cards are spread, the vampire card is gone! Yet she's successful after all-her signed card is turned over, and inscribed on its back is the vampire symbol! This card is given to the participant as a truly bizarre souvenir. No specially printed cards, no palming, no swamis. You receive the staple-bound, 16-page, illustrated manuscript and gimmick.

"The Xpert device is the missing ingredient to my work on the X principle. No working magician or mentalist doing any X work can afford to be without this!" -Kenton Knepper

"Neil Tobin's device is an astounding accomplishment and will be embraced by magicians and mentalists - I love it!" -Ben Harris

Diceman - Andy Nyman

The performer explains that he's trying something new in his life-he's given up making decisions for himself and instead rolls the dice and let's chance decide his fate. A spectator is handed a red die and asked to give it a roll to decide how the rest of the time they spend with the magician will go. Let's say the spectator rolls a five. The performer then displays his "options cards," six laminated and numbered cards with different actions on their backs. The performer lays all six cards down on the table in a row and requests that the spectator turn over the card which matches their rolled number. The spectator turns over the card numbered five and it says "Be Nice" on the back. "It'll be tough, but I'll try." says the performer. Of course, everyone is wondering what's written on the backs of the other cards...when they're turned over each and every other card says "KILL!" across the back! "I'm so relieved, I couldn't go through last night again!" Comes complete with laminated cards, metal carrying case, felt slip cover, die and detailed, fully-illustrated instructions.

"It's a killer. You know those tricks you have in the back of a drawer? This is the opposite." -David Regal

An Incredible Demonstration of Psychic Connection. You display two sets of ESP cards. Both sets contain the five classic ESP symbols-a circle, cross, three wavy lines, square and a star. You and the spectator mix the cards completely and you correctly predict what card the spectator will place down first. This is repeated with the second card, then the third, the fourth, and finally the fifth! With the turn of each card the effect is more incredible. Symbologic is so clean and direct it will astonish even the most hard-to-please audiences. Each and every card is predicted with 100% accuracy. No tough moves or sleight-of-hand. No forces or multiple outs.

Just Imagine... A spectator just NAMES a playing card, and you have the correct card in your wallet! YOU ARE ALWAYS CORRECT! It is the ultimate card "out" for close-up work. A spectator can mess with you all they want - RELAX - you can still produce a playing card from your normal wallet, as absolute proof that you knew their card all along! Kolossal Killer has become a classic piece of mentalism as well - used by such pros as Larry Becker and Jeff McBride. It's a full blown stage effect, with nothing but the minds of the audience and your everyday billfold! NO Forces. NO Gaffed Wallet. NO Sleight of Hand, NO 52 Card Index (Not 26 cards either)... Whatever they name, you are right! Simple, direct, awe inspiring magic and mentalism - the kind you have come to expect from Kenton Knepper. PLUS With this - Kenton's original version - you can do effects even the expensive gaffed wallet versions simply cannot do! AND you will receive complete routines, right out of Kenton's act. This couldn't be easier or more diabolical. Only a very select few have been privy to Kenton's original version of Killer - until now. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE! Get the complete original work with all the devious touches in this manuscript (just add your own billfold and cards). Forever more you will have a truly ground-breaking reputation maker, not "up your sleeve", but in your own wallet!

How could anyone improve on the Original Kolossal Killer manuscript? Kenton has! This manuscript contains what Kenton believes to be to the most impressive and entertaining versions of Kolossal Killer ever! Here you will find versions that outdo the original! These methods include ways to do Killer without using a wallet, methods that allow you to hand the spectators the wallet, gaffs so the wallet would be truly empty, and much more. There are even ideas from the late Doug Henning that Kenton couldn't keep to himself, as well as contributions from many others.

Please note... You need to have read "Kolossal Killer" to be able to utilise this.

Do you remember the stunning magic effect that Master Magic Man David Blaine used to open his "Street Magic" TV special? In effect, he borrowed a watch from a man sitting in his car and checked the correct time. He placed the watch back in the man’s hands and then asked him to think of a number to move the time. The man said "24" and after a few seconds of mental hocus-pocus, the man opened his hands and saw the watch indeed MOVE AHEAD 24 MINUTES! The reaction was incredible! Now, you can learn the original method and forcing techniques used for this amazing effect in Banacheck’s 26- page manuscript Psychokinetic Time. After being long out of print, Banachek has re-released this monumental effect. Psychokinetic Time comes complete with nine clear photos and descriptive text that details the ultimate impromptu method for altering the time on a spectator’s watch while held in their own hand! Other effects and concepts with watches are also discussed using the secret principles. No "gadgets" or difficult handling. This is for the serious magician, mentalist or conjuring enthusiast - but can be mastered by anyone!

Whilst talking about a deceased uncle. You prove the uncle's ghost is still around by having the "ghost" tap a seated spectator while you the performer are standing at the other side of the room and simultaneously taping another. That's right, the seated spectator actually feels two solid taps although no-one is near him, proving beyond all doubt that the uncle's does exists... This has become a much talked about effect by both those who perform it and those that witness it. It's Banacheck so you know its a killer effect! 10 page spiral-bound booklet with step-by-step instructions and detailed illustrations

Imagine being able to name a card a spectator has chosen without looking at the cards. You just look in their eyes and name it as if you were reading their minds! Or, imagine standing on a stage and allowing a spectator to choose a handful of cards from a jumbo deck and naming the cards he holds one at a time. They'll swear that you're even able to tell which one they're looking at. Or, imagine being able to tell which two cards a spectator has chosen and placed into two pockets...even though he doesn't even know what they are. What's more, you'll even be able to tell which card is in which pocket.

These are not pie in the sky ideas. Every one of them is possible with the Osterlind Breakthrough Card System. It's a stacked deck but, unlike other cyclical stacks, defies detection by even the most astute spectators, with absolutely no tell-tale number or color sequences. Even a skilled mathemetician would be unable to unravel its diabolical secret, yet you'll learn it in no time flat and use it for the rest of your performing life. Since the publication of the slim manuscript that originally introduced Richard Osterlind's system to the magic and mentalism communities, he's developed learning aids, performance tips and, most significantly, killer effects that will literally leave your audiences speechless. None of this additional information was in that little book but it's all here now in one place, ready for you to put right into your act. These are the same effects Richard Osterlind uses for corporate audiences all around the world...and now they can be yours. It was a breakthrough in card magic in 1983...and it's only gotten better! Softcover, fully-illustrated manuscript.

The magician/mentalist displays four laminated plaques each bearing various full color pictures of animal. Four spectators are asked to mentally select and remember an animal. No questions are asked, yet the magician correctly reveals all four selected animals! Very easy to do, yet extremely baffling. The plaques can be carried in your inside jacket pocket, and the animals are brightly colored making them extremely visible. Great for strolling, table hopping or parlor. This a new version of Telemental and has been extremely popular due to the fact that you can do this for an adults or children. Mentalism for kids has always been difficult to present but adults and kids love Animental and you will too!

Al Mann & Devin Knight were some of the early originators of self bending spoon techniques. This is the REAL work on self-bending spoons developed jointly by Al Mann and Devin Knight during the mid 80s.

You get the exact method used by Devin in newspaper office thru out the years to garner front page publicity. Show two spoons, one in each hand. The spectator is given a choice of either the stem or bowl of one of the spoons. Which ever he chooses (no force) that part of the spoon bends forward in a slow spooky manner.

Now the spoon in the other hand starts to visibly bend and is dropped into the spectator's hand WHILE STILL BENDING for complete examination without any switch.

The second spoon then becomes rubbery and flops around like loose rubber. Suddenly the rubbery spoons breaks in half and falls into the person's hand for examination.

Only two spoons used and there is NO SWITCH of any kind in the above routine. Both spoons can be immediately examined.

This manuscript is full of early Mann/Knight metal bending history and contains techniques only previously revealed in a now out of print joint Mann/Knight publication. This routine and handling has been highly acclaimed by those who have read it. It continues to be one of Knight's best selling releases.

Almost self-working with no skill needed. Complete with special spoons and detailed photographic directions showing you all the handlings.

Use any volunteer's key and bend it in their own hand! With Guy's Perfect Key Bending you can do more than the standard key-bending magic. This entirely new method lets you bend any key, anywhere, either in your hand or the hand of a spectator. Includes everything you need to know to perform this special effect, including tips, tricks, routines and other performance suggestions. Guy's Perfect Key Bending is unique because there are: No Key Changes (spectator can mark the key). No Pulls or Sleeves. No Chemicals. No Special Gimmick Key. No Sleights

This is probably one of the best miracles to be released in the last year absolutely stunning, they are selling out as fast as they come, and as with many of John Cornelius's effects difficult to maintain a supply of.

The performer shows a wallet, stating that there is a prediction inside. He asks a spectator if they have any idea what word is written inside. They say "No" The wallet, which has a rubber band around it, is handed to the spectator. When They open it, inside is piece a of paper with the word "No" written on it. Ha! Next the spectator writes ANY word, number, geometric figure etc. on a piece of paper and puts it in the wallet, then closes the wallet and puts the rubber band around it. The wallet is handed to the performer and instantly he knows what is written on the paper!
Yes read that again it's that clean and simple you'll love it and what's more you will use it.

The performer shows four rods with different numbers on each of their four sides, the spectator arranges them in any order they wish…. The performer instantly knows the total that they will add up to, long before the spectator has chance to work it out, even with a calculator! This can be repeated as often as required until they get bored or accept you as a god. You can use one, two, three or all four rods at once. And as a killer finale one last time you try with all four rods and it seems you have made a mistake…. Oop's you have! The total you have is for THE OTHER SIDE! You turn them all over and behold you have predicted the total even before you could have seen it…. Well of course you have! Otherwise you wouldn't be a magician now would you! What's more my would be psychic this is as easy as ABC, or minus 2 plus 5!

A simple but necessary accessory for every mentalist. Imagine holding a small card at fingertips and asking a spectator to call out a name or number etc. And handing them the card and having the answer written on it! Well with this LITTLE gimmick you can. You get a 4 of the gimmicks, spare lead and a booklet of ideas and routines. With a little practice you'll have them believing you're an all seeing omnipotent being. What more can you ask for ?

These gimmicks are the most powerful tools a magician or mentalist can use. It's really very difficult to believe that with such a little and inexpensive gimmick, you can produce the quality and the quantity of effects that look like real miracles. You can write letters, numbers, check marks, etc.surreptitiously, in front of the audience, giving the impression that it was written well before the event or effect. It gives you limitless possibilities. These writers are refillable and include a pin to help extract the lead and Instructions. These quality Vernet Writers are available in two different styles (sold separately):

Performer hold a small note pad, and writes with a pencil a prediction. He then place the pencil on the table, and ask a spectator to name any 2 or 3 digit number (or anything else).

Spectator does so (lets say 34), Immediately the performer turns over the pad and the chosen number 34 is written in the middle. This paper is then given as a souvenir.

A new clever thumb writer, that is so practical and easy to use. You can replace the lead very easily.

The killer part is the special note pad that was designed by Guy Bavli. This is the real secret.

Imagine your head completely covered by a black cloth hood that has been verified by an audience member as being completely opaque. Then, imagine performing any number of sightless vision miracles, limited only by your imagination, including the Blindfold Drive, a legendary feat of paranormal ability and performed by the greatest mentalists in history.

This is what the Dark Vision system will enable you to accomplish. Designed from the ground up and fashioned to be used with the Osterlind Stainless Steel Blindfold or on its own, Dark Vision will convince your audiences that you have the ability to see using only the power of your mind. The Dark Vision system consists of the very special hood, each one hand-made by Sandra Sisti and made from the same quality materials and exacting specifications as the S.O.S. Bag, and a booklet written by Richard Osterlind that not only explains the minute details of handling Dark Vision with the Stainless Steel Blindfold and also by itself, but also invaluable tips on how to create and perform a large-scale publicity stunt such as a Blindfold Drive.

There have been many gimmicked blindfolds and hoods on the market over the years…but none of them have offered the versatility, craftsmanship, ease of use or sheer mental power of Dark Vision.
