Volume
Three - Stage Mentalism
Formal
performance conditions: a stage, a schedule, and the obligation to
entertain an audience of paying customers. What you need for this type
of situation is material that will allow you to connect with a large
group; routines that are efficiently structured for maximum impact so
that they'll generate interest, maintain a robust energy level, and hold
the spectators' attention from start to finish. Goal Mine (Previously
Unrevealed) - This is an ideal opener: a routine of mental persuasion
that serves to establish the performer's credentials, gets several
audience members involved, has a climax that virtually guarantees
laughter and applause - and all of the props can fit in your breast
pocket.
Tossed
- Out Tech (Previously Unrevealed) - One of the most valuable
techniques of mentalism has also been one of the least understood -
until now. This section covers an effect that has been a feature
item in Max Maven's professional repertoire for over two decades.
This is not a basic "bare bones" description; it is an in
- depth analysis; knowledge developed through years of study, and
honed during thousands of performances. The information that is
disclosed here constitutes a virtual "post - graduate
course" in mentalism.
Khan
Artist (Previously Unrevealed) - The performer forecasts how members
of the audience will rearrange a set of symbols. The props are so
uncomplicated, so innocent in appearance....it's no wonder that this
deceptively simple effect has hoodwinked some of the keenest minds
in the business.
Contimental
- Could there be more direct exhibition of mindreading? Consider
this: A spectator thinks of an international location; the mentalist
reveals it. The end. There's no advance work, nothing is written
down, and there are no props required. You can even perform this
over the elephone
Psign
- A prediction, quick and to the point. A large board is displayed,
back - out. A spectator selects one of eight different designs,
which proves to be the very one printed on the front of the board.
The participant can stay seated in the audience - leaving the
performer alone on stage at the finish, to accept all of the
applause.
