Lewis Le Val – Praecantrix

Praecantrix by Lewis Le Val (Digital Version) – e-Mentalism

“Praecantrix contains some of the strongest material I have ever performed, and I can not be held responsible for the misuse of its contents. While the core concepts are completely harmless, some of the presentations within could potentially be emotionally or psychologically damaging for certain participants if used incorrectly. Use this material wisely and reap the rewards of these incredibly engaging pieces of performance art. Click the button below to download instantly and install real power into your act.” – Lewis Le Val

“I read a lot of impressive collections of material, but I always look forward to downloading the latest thoughts from Lé Val; We talk daily and discuss many ideas, so I’m excited to see the best concepts from the last few years coming to fruition in this publication. You will not be disappointed, there’s very few pieces from other artists that I would consider putting in my act, but “The Gypsy” is a true MASTERPIECE. I whole heartedly recommend this, incredible work from LLV.” – Dee Christopher

“The Reader is now my prefered full billet peek. It’s so clean! I will use it for life!” – Jose Prager

Lewis Le Val – Opia

Opia by Lewis Le Val (Digital Version) – e-Mentalism

We all know that ESP stands for ‘Extrasensory Perception’. In this case, it could also stand for ‘Even Stronger Presentation’. Never before has telepathy with ESP cards looked and felt as REAL as it does with Opia, a new offering from Lewis Le Val.

Opia is the intense feeling of invasiveness and vulnerability we experience as we stare deeply into the eyes of another. Not only can we see into their soul, but they can also see into ours. Just like when you face two mirrors together and it creates an endless reflection that goes both ways, Opia causes the same effect between two minds. 
“Opia is absolutely brilliant. One of the most concise and strongest representations of Le Val’s thinking on mind reading he has ever written.” – Dee Christopher.
Whilst beautifully simple in execution, the thinking behind Opia is beyond words! All you will need to perform Opia is five ESP cards (or business cards). Here is a basic outline of what happens:
– The concept of Opia is introduced, and the five ESP symbols are explained in the most captivating fashion.

The Art of Cold Reading

The Art of Cold Reading by Robert A. Nelson

The secret book of the mental profession that teaches the mentalist or psychic to “read” a person “cold” with no gimmicks, no advance knowledge, and no preparation!

The Art of Cold Reading is the learned ability to cleverly read another “from the cradle to the grave” — and without important error.

It is amazingly easy — if you understand the technique and methods. Possess it and you are always prepared to give readings — any time, anywhere, for fun or for profit.

The inner secrets of “cold reading” have been closely held and guarded for many years. Knowledge of this kind has been passed down from generation to generation, and seldom found in print until Nelson released the original work.

Hector Chadwick – Thirteen Things to Think About

Thirteen Things To Think About – This Is The Website Of Hector Chadwick

Thirteen Things To Think About Pertaining To The Creation Of Original Content Within The World Of Magic has a very long title. Which is ironic, in a Morissettean kind of way, because it’s very, very short. Including the front and back covers, it is precisely twenty-four pages in length, and of A5 proportions.

There’s very little I can say about it that the title doesn’t already tell you, but it’s a mess of handwritten ink and scribbles that attempt to communicate something of the craft of creativity – the method and technique involved in having your own ideas and harnessing your pre-existing originality.
