Fact: About every 8-10 years the world of magic/mentalism is rocketed to most to be a new phenomena that enters the art with a blaze of glory. If we are honest with ourselves, it is often disguised as costumed EMPTY brilliant marketing. But what in such scarce times when it proves - true In this case it's called Anthony Heads.
While Anthony Heads is certainly not new to the industry there is good chance he is new to YOU! His recently paradigm groundbreaking book titled Practical Paranormal Performance has sold 5 times more copies than average popular book. For good reasons - Anthony touches on material that distinguishes experienced, capable individuals from those with respectfully less skill.
If you are interested in pursuing your boundaries and limits to find out, if nothing else than for your own sake, if you are capable of achieving greatness, or maximizing the impact on your audience. For those that fall into this catalog (regardless magician or mentalism), this is the blueprint -- to help you achieve that goal.
At Stevens Magic we have been working on the Brother Shadow estate which has enlightened us to the refresher of the essence of storytelling ultimately being the "hook." This refresher was perfectly timed as even we were losing our way by thinking that is was the "gimmick" was "it." But now we can see - again.
Now we have the reminder - this new book -"Live Storytelling for Magicians." We can no longer afford to hit the SNOOZE" Button. We can no longer coast through the mundane routines for the 1000', time on cruise control. Stand up and deliver a monumental impactful life lesson where words serve the connection and props essential aides for their delivery.
Also Check Out: Practical Paranormal Performances Revised Edition: Some call it cross-selling for good reasons and we engage in that practice at Stevens Magic but in this rare situation I believe the lack of not educating you to Anthony's previous successful book that was recently revised would be a disservice. See the bottom of this page for details. This was the number one selling book for 2015 that achieved that goal in about 5 months.
