After extensive testing by experienced performers, the wait is finally over. This book represents a new departure in the... More > field of mentalism. The techniques it contains will enable you to perform impromptu, without the usual tools, techniques and compromises. You could, if you wish, perform naked to prove there’s no subterfuge. Track a spectator's thought process as she makes choices, harness psychological forces, turn misses into hits, perform book tests for complete strangers (even over the phone), but above all, replace the intuition of the psychic with solid models of the world that give hit rates far higher than the real thing can ever hope to achieve.

This book takes the 27-page priming section from the previous volume and expands it into a full second book.

At its core... More > are the 66 priming categories along with notes about their individual properties. The majority are in print here for the first time. There’s also a full description of why various priming techniques work, extensive advice on their use (including how to reveal a difficult spectator’s unspoken, discarded options – in the order she has them), a section of full effects, and an extensive appendix of extra data.

Also described is the powerful and flexible Pragmagram technique, used to create revolutionary effects such as the Naked Book Test. When combined with priming, this allows you to deliver seemingly genuine precognitive insights into the spectator’s thoughts before she has them.

Please read the online preview and back cover for a flavour of the content of this book and what people say about it. < Less

Electronics is a world seldom visited by most magicians or mentalists, and yet top-flight performers regularly use... More > electronics in their acts to create miracles that fool not just audiences but also others in the business. In this first volume of “Electronics for Magicians” I introduce a cast of electronic components and show that they’re simple to understand. I then show you how to combine them into useful modules, and finally I present several full projects. Fascinating but above all practical, “Electronics for Magicians” will spark your magical creativity in ways and directions you never thought possible – while leaving all the dull theory behind.

After four years in secret development and covert testing, the third volume in this unique series is finally here. This... More > time, we enter a darker world never before explored in a book on mentalism. As well as presenting yet more Naked effects, this book weaponises some of the “bugs” in human thinking uncovered by decades of experimental psychology and shows how to use them. Whether your style is psychic, intuitive, or master manipulator of the mind, these techniques will create compelling performances by weaving new realities in the minds of your spectators. Techniques from implanting new ideas without hypnosis to having spectators reliably conjure information that isn’t there are all presented and explained in detail. < Less

From the book “Naked Mentalism” and presented as a standalone effect, the Fully-Scripted Naked Book Test is a book test... More > like no other. Designed to emulate the powers of a genuine psychic, there’s no physical component: no handling, no gaffs, nothing to write down, peek or burn. Nothing. Simply walk up to a stranger reading anything written in English, ask them to select a word in a fair test of your ability. You reveal the concept the word embodies and the word itself. You can even do it over the phone. The script itself can be learned and used as is, or you can improvise to suit your own style and approach. The data for the model underlying the Fully-Scripted Naked Book Test is presented as an appendix to enable you to do just that. < Less

Electronics is a world seldom visited by most magicians or mentalists, and yet top-flight performers regularly use... More > electronics in their acts to create miracles that fool not just audiences but also others in the business. In this first part of the second volume of Electronics for Magicians I introduce several complete modules that can detect sound, vibration and human touch, as well as modules to create timed outputs and to run external equipment, including a heating element for flash product users. I also show how to combine these to create new effects. Electronics for Magicians 2 series will further spark your magical creativity in ways and directions you never thought possible. < Less

Imagine the ability to tell which is a spectator’s card from nothing more than fleeting, unconscious reactions to seeing... More > it amongst several others. This is exactly the illusion you create with “Poker Faced”.

Presented as a legitimate psychological experiment, this effect will quickly become a regular feature of your close up mental magic routine, with spectators clamouring for a turn. < Less

While this book continues my commitment to publishing quality work for the stripper deck, it’s not all about the world’s... More > most versatile and examinable gaffed deck. Granted, it shows how to use partial stacks to create magic made all the stronger by emerging from a shuffled deck. It also shows how to merge stacks to create full routines, and even shows how to update effects from yesteryear using the deck’s unique qualities.

On the other hand, the 22 professional effects also cover divining random words found by the spectator in a shuffled alphabet deck, how to enhance your reputation with a tarot deck, how to beat tightly controlled experiments by delivering feats of precognition, and even how to test the spectator’s own intuitive abilities.
