Here's something that hasn't been available for over 20 years! Brother Shadow wrote this booklet to solve the problems every working psychic entertainer hits when the gig is in a private home: no blackout, no gimmicked table, no crate of apparatus that looks like you came to burgle the place. Everything you need fits in a small bag. The contents are seen and handled. There is nothing to hide.
There are no tricks, no sound effects, and no physical manifestations. This séance happens in the sitters’ minds. Each participant leaves with something personal they will keep and think about long after you have gone. Richard Webster called it “believable, highly commercial,” and noted that Brother Shadow gives you the complete word-for-word script plus the practical details needed to work this field.
The booklet covers opening remarks, the ritual, the séance itself, the Ritual of the Rock, music, pre-séance preparation, and post-séance selling. When first introduced back in the day, it sold out at the 1995 PEA Meeting of the Minds and at Docc Hilford’s Weerd Weekend.
A compact, complete, working séance for the performer who wants to walk in with a bag and walk out having given people an experience they will remember.
Also included is everything that you need to perform "Have Seance Will Travel" immediately.
Here is what Richard Webster (The Godfather of Readings) had to say about this book in his review:
"Like many of us I have been searching for a convincing, easy-to-perform séance that can be conducted in virtually any situation. Brother Shadow's séance, subtitled "A Psychic Experience For The Home", provides this and much more.
This is a believable, highly commercial séance. All the participants take home something very pertinent to them, that they will treasure and think about for a long time, as the séance actually takes place inside every participant's mind. There are no tricks, no ghostly voices or apparitions, yet the séance is incredibly strong and powerful. Everything can be carried in a small bag and everything can be, and is, examined in the course of the séance.
Brother Shadow also provides excellent advice on the type of music to play. This alone is worth the price of the book to a working performer. An interesting chapter shows you how to get started in this potentially lucrative field.
The most valuable part of this book is, of course, the actual séance, and Brother Shadow explains everything, including his word for word script. Brother Shadow has put a tremendous amount of work into developing this séance and has been very generous in providing absolutely everything you need to know in order to make money in this wide open field."
Have seance will travel: Anthony Heads - Stockholm, Sweden - 2026
Being granted access to someone’s own home and performing a seance there is a powerful and intimate affair. When I was starting out in my career, I did many private evenings and can remember most of them quite vividly. There is something incredibly intimate with being so up-close and personal to the participants. The atmosphere crackles with nervous excitement. Now my audiences are considerably larger but every now and then I get to meet a smaller group. I look forward to these immensely and I’m reminded of how it all felt in the beginning — arriving at a stranger’s home with a small box of trinkets to find an expectant group of faces. These evenings are a unique style of performance and offer opportunities for real connections and genuine experiences that stage shows cannot match.
I first read “Have seance will travel” around 2003, a good 8 years after it was first put to paper. I realise now, re-reading it again, how much of this little book matches my own philosophy and ideas when it comes to performance and inducing the correct atmosphere. The foundation on which I stand is echoed in this book — make them like and trust you. If you do this, they will want the evening to succeed. It has to feel real and you cannot allow anything to shatter that illusion.
Back in 2003, I was looking for ideas and building blocks as well as evidence that others were performing paranormal entertainment for real. I will be honest and say that I did not go on to perform the type of material found in this book, partly due to cultural differences but also because my own journey took a different path. But what this book did was it made me realise that the simple and the psychological is fundamentally more powerful than expensive gimmicked objects and swinging chandeliers. Our minds can provide everything we need if we simply learn to trust in the process and allow the power of our own emotions to spill forth.
So now, 31 years after it was first published, “Have seance will travel” rides again and I’m sure that from beyond the veil, Brother Shadow is pleased that a new generation is discovering his message and the big secret — it’s not about you. It’s about them.
