Alexandre – The Art Of Performance In Magicand Mentalism

The Art of Performance in Magic and Mentalism by Mystic Alexandre ...

This was the first booklet I published way back in 2002 and it was born out of a lecture I did in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where I ended by discussing The Art Of Performance In Magic And Mentalism and answering questions on the subject.

It’s a brief manuscript with strong messages to reflect upon concerning principles that will enhance your rounded approach to becoming a respected performer.

In this manuscript I touch on the following questions:

  • Is There a Quicker Way To Become a Better Performer?
  • How Do You Keep Spectators From Messing You Up?
  • What Is The Most Important Aspect of Performance?
  • When Do I Know When I’m Truly Ready To Perform?
  • What About Patter?
  • How Do I Find The Best Effects?
  • And More!

Luke Jermay – Distractions

In this slim volume I have collected three routines utilising billets from my own performance work; drawn over a period of more than ten years.

I have chosen to group these routines together in one volume at the request of many mentalists I have met during my appearances at magic conventions, workshops and masterclass events across the globe.

I also took this as an opportunity to update and add to these routines since first writing them up. In the interest of variety I have broken up each of these routines with two very short essays and thoughts; you will spot these essays as they are all labelled asdistractions in their titles; sometimes in these sections there is a trick; other times there is not; these essays are taken from my series of essays published in Genii Magazine several years ago and appear here unchanged.

Paul Brook – Around The Table

Paul Brook Around the Table‘Around the Table’ is a collection of my three most used direct mentalism effects when performing to a table of people.
These effects are all 100% real world ‘hit the ground running’ friendly.
That means no pre-show before you perform, it means no instant stooging, no endless waffle for little pay-off and it also means that everything works 100% of the time.
Just hard-hitting material that is ‘to the point’ and mind-blowingly deceptive.
The material was designed and created for my own personal use in the banqueting entertainment environment. I don’t wear a jacket in those situations, so the effects fit into my trouser pockets with ease and each effect is an instant reset.

Curtain Call by Barrie Richardson

Curtain Call - magic

Ask working performers, who has created the most practical and impressive mentalism in recent times and one of the first names you will hear is Barrie RichardsonCurtain Call is Mr. Richardson’s third major collection of mentalism, and in it he has held nothing back. He opens with the full details for his entire professional act, follows up with dozens of wonderful tricks, routines and tools for the mentalist, and concludes with a unique piece that always brings a strong emotional response and a spontaneous ovation from his audiences.

Barrie Richardson has a reputation for devising impenetrable mental mysteries that float upon multiple layers of deception. This is combined with a disconcerting directness that achieves the effect with minimal procedure and maximum power.

Square by Patrick G. Redford

Powerful Impromptu Mentalism with a deck of cards!

As part of a 5 comic book series, Square (preceded By Triangle & Heptagon), is a comic devoted to mental feats with a deck of cards. As usual, all of the material is 100% impromptu.

Imagine being able to appear to clock a deck in less than 30 seconds (with little real effort) and give your subjects the power to do the same. Imagine a 10 card poker deal routine that allows the subject to choose both his hand and your hand from face-up cards and still lose. Imagine being able to sense the instant someone thinks stop. Imagine an ESP card match routine that requires almost no sleights or one-ahead techniques. Stop imagining and pick up Square, now.
