Hoang Doan & Danny Goldsmith – Beast(VIP)

Magic Review - Beast by Hoang Doan and Danny Goldsmith

 

What’s included in the project? 

1. Cannon Coins 

Three coins travel one at a time to a glass.

The first coin visibly falls into the glass from nowhere, the second travels even after you show your hand empty, and the third visibly ‘pops’ into appearance even with the glass turned over!

In this tutorial, Hoang also discusses the problem with most ‘coins to glass’ routines and how the final phase of this routine solves that problem.

2. Danny’s Coins to Glass

Three coins travel one at a time to a glass. 

Up until now, Danny has never released any work on this classic effect…but he was so inspired by Hoang’s thinking that he couldn’t stop coming up with ideas for these routines. 

Danny also teaches a simplified variation for anyone who has difficulties with one of the moves in the base method. 

3. Coins Through Glass

Three coins melt through solid glass one at a time. You can even hear the last coin tapping the outside of the glass before it goes! 

In this tutorial, Hoang reveals the best kind of glass to use for this effect (believe it or not, using the right kind of glass will actually do a lot of the hard work for you!) and how large a glass you should use (this will vary person to person.)

You’ll also learn an incredibly simple sound manipulation technique that will make you smile when you realize how easy it is. 

4. Danny’s Coins Through Glass

Three coins melt through solid glass one at a time. You literally SEE the second coin as it melts through the bottom of the glass. 

Danny teaches a whole handful of ways to handle this routine, depending on your preferences. For example, he’ll teach how you can visibly show your audience the last coin before it appears on the other side of the glass!

5. Metal Bending

Hoang uses a drop of water to make three coins appear and then disappear, with a kicker ending we didn’t see coming.

(This routine uses gaffs. You may have some or all of them already.)

6. Phantom Coins

Hoang makes three coins appear and disappear one at a time, only to make all three come back all at once. Incredibly visual.

(This routine uses one super common gaff that many of you will already have.)

7. Special Coin Cannon

A beautifully direct coin through glass. 

This routine is quick but very cleverly constructed so that every move is motivated and practically invisible. 

You'll also learn...

1. HD Grip

A beautiful palm that lets you display the hand completely empty front and back. Hoang teaches three ways to get into this palm.

2. Cannon Pass

A very deceptive way to make a coin jump into view from a seemingly empty hand. 

Hoang teaches you multiple ways to perform this move, depending on what suits your hand best. 

  • A classic coin magic training tip that will help you make any palm (including the HD grip) look and feel natural

3. *** Pass

Hoang’s move is amazing, but it’s not easy and will definitely take you some time to get down. To help you get started in the meantime, Danny created a simplified variation that is so simple you should be able to start using it instantly. It also looks just as good as the original move, and it’s what Danny uses in all the performances you’ll see on this page. 

NOTE: All of Hoang’s routines can be adapted using this technique—so you can get started performing immediately while you work on mastering Hoang’s move.  

A lot of the work in this project is based on an incredible move of Hoang’s. On studying, Danny found an alternative that is potentially easier and got really excited about the possibilities. A simplified variation.

If you’re wondering if this stuff really works in the ‘real world,’ here’s a video of Hoang performing magic from Beast live…

Pick up a collection of incredibly powerful, unique routines and ideas all based upon one incredible new move.

Paperwork – Folded Billets(VIP)

Open Billet Psychology

Learn why open billets are so powerful (sometimes even more so than their folded billet counterparts).

The DPT Peek

Despite being locked in the centre of a stack of cards and secured using a rubber band, you will know exactly what your spectator has drawn or written! A devious, psychologically-invisible peek you'll want to implement right away.

The Minimalist Peek

This cunning, impromptu deception is a 1914 exclusive. If you use business cards in your close-up performances, this will become a valuable weapon in your mentalism arsenal. A highly deceptive peek you'll likely fool yourself with the first time you try it.

The Gaffed Minimalist Peek

Learn how to enhance the Minimalist Peek even further by using a gimmick you can easily make at home.

Name and Place

Telepathically receive the thoughts of two separate spectators. Scott combines the above methods to bring you his unique take on the classic Name and Place plot.

Structured Drawing Duplication

An engaging presentational approach to drawing duplications. Your participant will experience the sensation that you are truly inside their mind, perceiving their every thought (not just their drawing).

4DT

Scott will teach you not one, but two devious methods to achieve Bob Cassidy's Fourth Dimensional Telepathy. Both variations require no more than seven billets, and there isn't an envelope in sight.

Bookless Book Test

Your participant chooses an imaginary book, opens it to any page and concentrates on any imaginary word. Despite everything occurring in the participant's mind, and nothing being written down, you are able to successfully reveal all three pieces of thought-of information.

Q&A

Scott blends Q&A with psychometry to present his meticulously crafted Open Billet Q&A act, tailored for intimate groups of 10-20 participants. You will learn a unique framework for cold readings, based on the tarot, which allows you to squeeze so much from so little.

♣ ♥ ♠ ♦

Paperwork Volume II is dedicated to FOLDED BILLETS; small pieces of card folded into quarters to conceal their contents.

Lessons include:

Folded Billet Psychology

A folded billet comes with many psychological assumptions. Scott explores what these are, and how to take advantage of them in your performances to enhance believability.

The Pocket Stash

Scott refreshes an old, forgotten approach to pocket work with his modern-day pocket stash. Learn how to execute discreet manipulations within the confines of tight trouser pockets without the fumbles.

The Psychology of Switches

Scott explains how all billet switches fall into one of three categories: psychologically exposed, psychologically cloaked, or psychologically invisible. It's not always the technique itself that classifies the switch, but where in the timeline of the performance it's executed.

Workhorse Switch

Based on the Annemann Switch and popularised by Allen Zingg, this is the single-most executed billet move of Scott's career. A must-master for any billet worker.

The Unfold Switch

Learn how to switch a billet at the precise moment you appear to open it. An extension of the Workhorse switch, Scott's original choreography eliminates the unnatural unfolding of rival switches of this nature.

The Refold Switch

Learn how to switch a billet as you close it back to its previously folded state. This is one of the most psychologically invisible switches you can ever perform, and Scott explains why.

Switch Variations

Variations of the above switches, including a smart, safer alternative to burning unwanted billets in routines that traditionally require an open flame.

One to One Reading

An easy-to-perform reading with a single sitter with a single question in their mind. You are not only able to intuit the specifics of their personal inquiry, but leave them with a profound answer.

Cabaret Name and Place

Another Name and Place routine, but for cabaret. An excellent fusion of the pocket stash and switches to present an impossible demonstration of telepathy, with nothing suspicious remaining for your spectators to find.

Acidus Lots From Little

A one-handed execution of Acidus Novus combined with a very compelling routine which creates the illusion of four powerful hits instead of one.

Classic Three Billet Test

Three strangers, three birthdays and three billets. A totally impromptu routine of psychometry and tarot-inspired readings that culminates in an impossible birthday reveal.

Q&A

Volume I saw Scott teach his Open Billet Q&A routine, but this time they're folded. This adaptation is another reputation-enhancer that is both impressive and manageable; there are minimal sleights to execute and it requires zero memory work. Not only is it easy to do, it's profoundly impactful. The perfect closer to a mammoth course.

Psychology for the Mentalist – Andy Luttrell (VIP)

Psychology for the Mentalist is a well referenced graduate course in Social Psychology. The techniques and principles explored in these pages can help turn mere tricks into miracles.

This project is broken down in two sections. The technique and research section and applied applications of these principles in the form of effects. This book will help you find ways to implement these techniques into your own work immediately and how to maximize the techniques you may already be familiar with and are already using.

"This is a truly ambitious project. A graduate course in Social Psychology very well referenced with the latest research applicable to the performance of mentalism. You cannot fail to be in awe of the effort and stimulated to perfect your routines and create new ones. Application of these techniques will turn your tricks into what appears to be the real thing."
- Richard Mark

"This book is a wealth of source material for performers who wish to enhance their work by infusing it with psychological concepts. This glimpse of real research (written by a PhD student of psychology with an understanding of mentalism and magic... and a solid performer to boot) will spark your imagination with powerful possibilities and intriguing premises. It is a 'must read' for any modern mentalist."
- Dan Harlan

"I love this work. It fills important gaps and clarifies much. Anyone with a mind (or whose work entails understanding them) MUST have it."
- Marc Salem

"Andy has written the definitive work on psychology in mentalism. This genre-busting book provides great information for presentational premises and for methods to utilize in your own effects. For those interested in the use of psychology in mentalism, Mr. Luttrell's book will be required reading. Highly recommended!"
- Sean Waters

"Psychology for the Mentalist is an inspired work. Combine these psychological principles that Andy meticulously dissects with the modus operandi of classic conjuring techniques and showmanship and you'll be have a powerful performance toolbox to create real miracles."
- Patrick G.Redford
