If you are surprised to learn that such tricks are possible, you will be even more surprised to learn that they are not very difficult.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou have to know two simple rules that tell you how to move from one cell to the next, and you have to mentally add or subtract a single digit number as you make the move.\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\"\u003eOnce you learn how, you can fill in the cells just about as fast as you can write.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e The properties of the magic square, including all 120 successful patterns, are automatically guaranteed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book, the second of a pair, contains entirely new methods, tricks, puzzles, and stunts involving magic squares, along with new theory that explains them. Although it builds on the previous book, for the most part the material is self-contained. It introduces three classes of magic squares that are easy to construct, are surprisingly versatile, and produce the best possible outcomes. For both four-by-four and five-by-five squares, you can start from any freely chosen number in any chosen cell and complete a magic square as fast as you can write the numbers, using no mental mathematics beyond counting. In addition to simplifying the construction of four-by-four squares, these new methods crack the code for five-by-five squares, making them practical for live performances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurprisingly, the five-by-five case is both easier and more powerful than the four-by-four. The pattern-based method guarantees 120 successes that are symmetric and easy to remember. If you want to include irregular patterns of five cells, there are actually 690 predictable successful patterns. Again, you can start with any number in any cell and count in different directions and by different steps using just two simple rules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany new tricks are made possible by these methods, such as creating a five-by-five square that contains up to ten freely chosen numbers. There are ideas for reversible squares (like the one on the cover) and non-numerical squares involving ESP cards and geometric shapes. The fourteen suggested tricks are only samples of the new opportunities presented by these methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe final section contains a complete theoretical treatment of magic squares of order five, including a formula covering every possible solution, a slot method that allows you to turn any ten numbers into a magic square, and several path-based methods that avoid all mathematical calculation. Although you do not need to understand the underlying theory to learn methods, it is fully explained for those interested in exploring variations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreface\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHow to Use This Book\u003cbr\u003e\nSection I.

As the title suggests there are routines by Scryer and 13 of his closest friends, who happen to all be the leading mentalists performing around the world today. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow he is able to get some of their pet routines is beyond me, but thankfully for us they are willing to share their material. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet’s look at the material by Neal Scryer first of all. There are 14 effects ranging from pendulum routines to an offbeat Bank Nite routine. There are routines for close-up venues as well as stage material. One of the things I like about Scryer’s thinking is how he is able to combine routines with publicity in a way that nobody is aware. An example is his Gypsy Fortune Telling Machine Reading where he is able to give readings without doing much work. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTo anybody who wants to get repeat bookings from a gig this is pure GOLD! \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe also takes a few standard ‘magic’ props and turns them in to miracles for lay people, without any ‘magic’ involved. He takes standard tricks that a lot of us have and for private parties can create great stand-up routines. As I said, the methods are simple but the effects on lay people are strong. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000\"\u003eHis Bank Nite is such an example. I performed it recently and it was one of the strongest routines in the show. If you had to put together a full evening of mentalism then the material Neal offers is all you would need.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eHis thinking is direct, slightly offbeat and practical for every working condition. For my cruise ship friends I would highly recommend this book if you are looking for material should your act get lost and you need to perform. As I reading this book I was wishing I had it years ago when my luggage was constantly lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSomething that Scryer’s routines have is a real connection with the audience, whether it be a story about his grandmother to using a borrowed watch, they are all personal and connect with people. I think that is the real secret to Scryer’s work and is why many professionals are using his material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 13 friends then offer their contributions. My first stop was to read \u003cstrong\u003eKeith Barry’s routine Magikal Memories\u003c\/strong\u003e This routine comes from Keith’s current show which has been seen by more than 30,000 people in Ireland. The routine is fully scripted as \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eKeith uses it in his show and you can imagine the impact is so strong it would make the spectator cry.\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eIt is amazing that Keith gave this routine away, but for those who purchase the book you will have a very emotional and powerful routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJerome Finley\u003c\/strong\u003e offers an essay that should probably have never been published in the first place. The information is from a working psychic and offer information that is used by most of the top people in this field. Without giving too much away let me just say that this chapter alone is worth more than the price of the book. I would suggest EVERY single person claiming to do mentalism read and study this chapter. It will open up new doors and put you steps ahead of everybody else. The material offered here is what some people have started religions with!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTed Karmilovich\u003c\/strong\u003e offers a routine called Voice Print Plus which uses a very clever method to achieve a great piece of mind reading. By asking a few questions about a first kiss you are able to tell the spectator the name of that person. The questions don’t have anything to do with the actual method but are part of the fun of this routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have found after performing some of the pieces in this book that the strongest reactions come from females. It is something that Neal himself seems to understand and makes a strong connection in choosing his material and who it is best suited for. Not only is this a book about effects, but it’s also a great lesson in presenting material to the right audience which will get maximum impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis book is for the serous practitioner rather than those who just dabble in mentalism.

Scryer has a very large following and as another reviewer said, “this book should be called 13 Steps To Mentalism - but that is already taken.” This book is very much a lesson in mentalism and if you bought one book this year and wanted to make a career from the material, this should be it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eMy high praise comes from having performed some of this material in my full evening shows as well as incorporate it in to my everyday life, especially when asked to do something.\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000\"\u003eIf I want people to remember you the chances are it’s a SCRYER routine that I will do!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview from John Stetson - as featured in - Magic New Zealand - Issue Number: #1055\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's hard to believe that it's only two years since Neal Scryer burst onto the mentalism scene. People in the know have known him by his real name for decades, but everyone was caught by surprise when he agreed to let Richard Webster write up his ideas and effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn less than two years, Neal and Richard have produced six books, full of dynamic routines using deceptively simple means. I love them all, but think the most recent one, \"Scryer's 13\", is the best so far. Neal shares twelve original effects, and 13 of his friends contribute their favorite ideas and effects. My favorite effect in the book is Neal's \"Killer Easy Coin Bend.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI saw Neal perform it three times and couldn't detect the switch. It's a typical example of Neal's thinking. The method is simple - ridiculously simple - and it's now something I perform all the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe other 13 contributors are Keith Barry, Meraux Dantes, Jerome Finley, Sidnee Free, Docc Hilford, Ross Johnson, Ted Karmilovich, Darrell Mac, Tony Michaels, Richard Osterlind, Sandra Sisti, Peter Turner, and Richard Webster.

One is asked to telepathically transmit a card to the other spectator. Amazingly, she receives the thought. This effect is extremely strong, and both spectators get credit for having psychic abilities. You are going to love this easy-to-present effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScryer's confabulations\u003c\/strong\u003e - Two versions, and both are killers. They won't know what hit them. You can't get stronger than this, and the easy methods will delight you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal Quartz\u003c\/strong\u003e - Scryer uses this effect often, and everyone leaves with a crystal. It's simple, direct, strong, and easy to do. The audience will love you. Everyone gets a reading. In fact, you could do an entire psychic party with this one effect alone, and provide a full hour of mystery and entertainment for ten people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Who's the devil?\u003c\/strong\u003e - This is a great walk around effect. It's simple, yet so strong. One of your audience members plays the part of the devil, and you guess who it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHundred Dollar Bank Nite\u003c\/strong\u003e - This is the perfect walk around bank nite using crumpled up bills. You can keep them in your pocket and be ready to perform at any time. It's so easy, that it's almost like doing nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSneaky Si Stebbins\u003c\/strong\u003e - This must be the sneakiest way to get into the Si Stebbins. You don't go near the cards, yet you create a real miracle by successfully predicting several spectators' cards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoses\u003c\/strong\u003e - This is a complete act. It's a reputation maker for stage and parlor entertainers. It's so strong, this could appear on a TV special. Scryer has performed this for royalty and received a standing ovation. The authors were going to reserve the TV rights, but decided not to. Roses is Scryer's pride and joy. Respectfully, this effect should be kept in the vault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnything Called Out Pateo - \u003c\/strong\u003eThis one you can do for an audience for fifty or more it's so easy but so amazing .

No one says anything. You, the performer, take the journey with several members of the audience and tell them who they were. This is another reputation maker, and is something they'll talk about forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrematory Journey\u003c\/strong\u003e - One piece that is in the book is worth a king's weight in gold. Neal feels this is the strongest effect in the book. You lead the spectator through a funeral procession. This effect has a profound and unforgettable climax that the spectator will never forget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDon't under estimate the power of a Stooge - \u003c\/strong\u003eStooges!

When used in very limited but powerful way they will accentuate and empower your presence as a performer... This book features two routines using an accomplice, one is a Smash and Stab, the other is Contract Mind Reading.  The contact mind reading is such a reputation maker, Scryer has used this in crowds up to 800 - and it absolutely fries em!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo years ago a good friend of mine \u003cstrong\u003eMeraux Dantes\u003c\/strong\u003e told me I had to meet a crazy cat that was giving accurate online readings via Skype. I was understandably excited as a lot of stuff I was doing at the time was via Skype. Meraux passed on my email to Neal and within the day I had received a wonderful email from Neal inviting me to talk with him on Skype.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen I first saw Neal, he wasn’t what I had expected looks wise. I had built up this image of a “Zoltar” like character in my mind and when I saw him he looked normal. This is in my opinion what makes him so disarming! He would be mistaken for you or me if he was seen in the street, but he’s not like me or you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI introduced myself and after introducing myself he told me to get a piece of paper and a pen. He instructed me not to talk at all and just to listen to what he had to say. He began by proposing not to tell me about things I already knew but things that there was no way he could know.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI wondered what he could possibly know about my life as we had certainly never connected before our email\/ Skype call. Before proceeding to read me he asked me to place a tick on the piece of paper if he got something right and a cross if he got something wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe started the reading, and he was getting hit after hit. Stuff that is too personal to share here. In all honesty, it was a little too close for comfort. My mind started to race with solutions, had Meraux been feeding him information? Had this guy profiled me?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI thought long and hard. I had never put certain things about my family online, I had never told Meraux these things, so there was no possible way Neal could have known what he was reading from me . . . But he did.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is an small excerpt of one of the more impressive parts of the reading Neal did that evening. He addressed me, “I feel you’re in a relationship, or just getting into a relationship and I am getting a feeling of uneasiness with this relationship. Just to be clear, it is not uneasiness in the relationship; this is the family of the girl in question, you are keeping the relationship private. You are having a secret relationship and keeping it from everyone, so the parents do not find out. I don’t know why but Olive Oil or Olives come to mind. I think these are going to be important to your future.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe strangest thing I found about Neal: he never asked me to confirm or deny if any of it made sense. He didn’t seem to care. I don’t mean he didn’t care about my feelings, or he was just throwing stuff out and hoping for it to stick. I mean he had an air of coolness about him that suggested he knew what he was doing was real, and therefore he didn’t need his ego stroked because it had to be real.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOh, and just to point out, I had literally just got into a relationship with my now fiancée “Olivia” Walters and we were keeping it from her parents! I had not even mentioned it to my closest friends!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have talked on the phone and Skyped with Neal lots of times since that original encounter (I call it an encounter as it scared the sh*t out of me) and we have become great friends since. He has shared so many amazing things with me, and I can say I am better at making intuitive decisions for meeting Neal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen reading this book, imagine the impact you can have on your audiences' lives. Please guard this book from falling into the wrong hands. This is not a day’s worth of Neal’s thoughts, it is not a week's or a month’s worth, you have a compendium of secrets Neal has refined over a lifetime! That is too special to get into the hands of the masses.  \u003cstrong\u003e“Be the story” – Peter Turner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeal Scryer and Richard Webster would like to thank the following for their dedication, hard work, and belief in this project.

If this is the case then he has certainly saved the best for last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one thing about his work in general is the use of simple ideas to create strong and long lasting effects on spectators. You can show a spectator as many card and coin tricks as you want, but unless there is an emotional attachment they will likely not remember anything you did. Neal’s material in this book is simple in concept but extremely powerful in presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn talking about simplicity I will quote Neal, “I can guarantee you’ll progress further in life and become a better performer.” This book is filled with wisdom from an artist who has made a living by entertaining audiences around the world with his original creations. The real value for me is reading how Neal uses objects that are very organic in nature to capture his audience’s imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike his past books, Strictly Scryer contains ONLY material from Neal’s career and all of it is aimed at leaving a lasting impression on your audience. The reason I’m a fan of Neal’s material is that it all makes so much sense. For those who have followed his previous works you will understand how he uses presentation to connect with the spectators. Often I find myself thinking, “that is so damn clever.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book contains sixteen effects with seven more bonus routines ranging from close-up, stand up and stage effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere are a few of my favorites:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Twelve Roses – This is almost an act in itself and something Neal uses at Ladies Only Parties. This is a classic example of how Neal connects with his audience. Using various colored roses Neal is able to give incredibly accurate readings of various woman in the audience and concludes with a very powerful blindfold reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe use of Roses is obviously very powerful when working with an all female audience, and Neal shares other ideas and routines on how to incorporate a Rose in to a performance, even for a Pendulum test.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrematory Journey – perhaps my favorite in the book this is a twist on the “Ashes to the Palm” routine and updates it to the twenty-first century. By combining past-life regression Neal has taken a standard routine to an all-new level that the audience will never forget. A great example of making something we know and routining it in to a very powerful piece of theatre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe use of The Pateo Force is something Neal is very fond of, and he has some of the most creative routines and ideas I’ve ever read in this book. From the impromptu routine called Two of a Kind to his Blindfold Pateo Effect and Anything Called Out Pateo routine there is something here everybody can perform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI was very excited to read ‘Center Tear Next Level.’ As somebody who uses a center tear all the time I was very thrilled to read this. What makes this so great is that the heat is taken off you during the tear so nobody is burning you during that most important moment. Finally, somebody has given thought to the routine of a center tear rather than just a method. This routine can be used for any center tear you currently do. The thinking behind the structure of this is what makes this something a lot of professionals will now use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSneaky Si Stebbins – despite its name, this effect can be performed with any stack with which you’re familiar with. One word on this one – GENIUS!! It’s so damn clever I’m surprised nobody has done this before. If you do a stack deck of any kind you will need to check this out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe above are only a small handful of items I’ve selected. This book is a goldmine of material for the working performer. If you want to connect with your audience and make them remember you and your work then reading Neal’s material is a MUST.

I sought a system that would allow me to instantly know the location of all 78 cards in the deck. A card system that would enable me to gain this knowledge without using any complicated mental gymnastics requiring mnemonic or mathematical calculations during the actual reading itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, I wanted to be able to identify any Tarot card by casually glancing at the back of the card as it lay atop any face-down stack of cards. This would need to be accomplished surreptitiously while considering from three to twelve face-down piles of cards simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 78 card deck itself would also need various options for me to move about the system with ease, confidence, speed, not to mention, psychological effectiveness. Ultimately, the pack would offer a more powerful, successful and even intuitive reading for my clients. To top it all off, I wanted to be able to draw on this dream system anytime, anywhere sans the need of a Tarot pack at all. Imagine, I thought, consider the doorways and pathways still hidden within the world of cold reading that would avail themselves to me!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI dreamed of finding such a Holy Grail in magic shops, catalogs, sessions with mentalists, cold readers and so on. I filled those wells of knowledge with a lot of wishes. But in vain. That left me with two options. Either continue waiting for Godot. Or design the miracle myself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSo what you are about to learn is a cold reading system born purely out of necessity.\u003c\/strong\u003e As I explain the intricate workings of the following discovery, do not be daunted.

Simple card stacks, crimps, marking procedures, and a potentially endless array of useful applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe advanced nature of the system herein will require an investment of imagination on your part. I believe the instructions will be made easier and quicker to master if you assemble a practice deck.

Oliver and I have been friends for more than thirty years, and he's always insisted that he'd never write a book for the mentalism community. In fact, he was so adamant about this, that I stopped pressuring him to write a book many years ago. I'm thrilled that he's changed his mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOliver is a true \"underground\" performer. He's made a good, full time living out of mentalism for most of his adult life, yet he's almost completely unknown in the magic and mentalism worlds. He's never belonged to a magic club, never been to a magic convention, and never visited a magic or mentalism forum. I'm one of the very few magicians that he knows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite this, he's extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of our art. He has a huge library of books on magic and mentalism. He regularly visits magic dealers, and secretly enjoys the fact that no one at any of these shops has the faintest idea that he's an extremely successful psychic entertainer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOliver has had numerous opportunities to become more visible to the general public. However, he's an extremely private person, and has no need for fame or public acclaim. He loves his work, but is happiest when he's at home with his wife, children and grandchildren.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe told me that he's written this book to pay back part of the debt he owes to previous generations of psychic entertainers. He's benefited from studying their works, and wants to contribute to the art himself. This book contains a tiny fraction of Oliver's repertoire of original ideas. I hope this is just the first of many books by my talented and inspirational friend. - \u003cstrong\u003eMichael Henning- September 2014\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTestimonials:\u003c\/strong\u003e  The collective works of Neal Scryer was undoubtedly one of my strongest inspirations and in fact a strong motivation for me to finally release my works in a book.

You have a very good book here, I would suggest you try to close this distribution agreement with Oliver and get an exclusive.  The content is strong, I really like Hellstromism and Olivers' Clinging Technique. But all the routines have merit.  Oliver's first work stands completely on it's own merit - if you can lock up another exclusive line - this book and hopefully future works by Oliver would be a nice addition to your SME Illuminati - as you call them!  -\u003cstrong\u003e Bill Montana\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWell constructed and fine tuned applications of strong principals of readings.  It's obvious Oliver has been working on this book for a long time.  The reader will find a lot of information, knowledge and power within these pages. While I have not heard of Oliver until now, I'm anxious to learn more about him.  I know it's not easy to be objective when you have a business relationship with him, prior to this book, and your smart to seek outside council - my vote is the material is valuable regards to the content and price. I'm curious to know what others that you sent the book too thought, as well as to get to know Oliver  - \u003cstrong\u003eDarrell Mac.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHi Mark, I had a chance to review the books (Beyond Real Minds - Oliver Furguson \u0026amp; The Unholy Grail - Larry Baukin) on long trans continent flight from L.A. to New York.  Regards to Beyond Real Minds, no question Oliver has a great deal of experience which I was able to see in the \"subtle touches\" and psychology that he implements in his readings.  When I read a book, I am most intriqued about these applications compared to the effects themselves. This is not to say the contributions are not strong - they are - I can see them working very well.  It's just that I believe the mark of a good reader is in their ability to effectively employ these \"soft touches\". Beyond Real Minds has both strong routines and equally good execution techniques.  That stated, these two books are not going to appeal to everyone (you know this I'm sure as it's a very specific target) - both books have exceptionally strong potential.  But are primarily directed or targeted to those that have a serious interest in readings (The Unholy Grail especially is a book  for the serious and advanced cold reader), Larry's system is truly \"A Game Changer\" for the serious reader.  Beyond Real Minds on the other hand could be easily applicable to an individual that is still getting their momentum going, as well as the advanced reader.  My view - both books are a worthwhile investment. Regards to pricing, I think it's on the mark.  I know it sounds convenient for a seller of magic goods - but as an artist who has worked a lifetime honing skills, I don't want strong and advanced material on the market at low prices - just like education, it shouldn't be cheap and sincerely helps keep this valuable knowledge out of the hands of the \"just curious.\"  In closing thanks for the recent big order of my books, I'll have my assistant mail them to you so you'll have them in plenty of time before Halloween -  \u003cb\u003eCharles Garner\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steven's Magic Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42461900865588,"sku":"ML25BEYO","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/1461\/6628\/files\/BeyondRealMinds1.jpg?v=1737195969"},{"product_id":"locked-jim-kleefeld-book","title":"Locked - Jim Kleefeld (Book)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"youtube_sc  fluid widescreen\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"inner block\"\u003e\n\u003cnoscript\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e.youtube_sc iframe.yp{display:none;}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cobject width=\"560\" height=\"340\" class=\"yp\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003cparam name=\"movie\" value=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/swnmp8jruEE?version=3\u0026amp;rel=0\u0026amp;hl=en_US\"\u003e\n\u003cparam name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"\u003e\n\u003cparam name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/swnmp8jruEE\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/object\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/noscript\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/swnmp8jruEE?version=3\u0026amp;rel=0\u0026amp;wmode=transparent\" width=\"560\" height=\"340\" class=\"yp\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSimplified Ad Copy:\u003c\/strong\u003e New Product by Jim Kleefeld! \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFor many that is all they need to read.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e But just in case, below is a more detailed description!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ultimate examination of the Seven Keys to Baldpate plot and the use of locks in mentalism and magic.

Once you learn how, you can build such magic squares quickly, directly, in real time without having anything memorized or hidden in crib notes. The methods are easy to learn and to perform because you never have to add more than two numbers at a time. In addition, they offer unprecedented control over the outcome. For example, you can predict before you start that fifty-two symmetric patterns will attain the same total.

I've even devised a set consisting of one pink and one blue, (pink for the girls, blue for the boys) with a \"who are he best - the boys or the girls\" theme.

That is why to date, he is not a member of any free online forums.

He is not interested in having lay people who have seen him perform, Google him afterward and find books he has written about our secrets!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDennis likes to go under the radar and made the decision early to not venture into the magic fraternity. That is why, to date, he is not a member of any free online magic forums. Nor is he a member of magic clubs because he doesn’t perform for magicians - only for “real” people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDennis, under another stage name, has performed on a regular basis in Denmark for many years and for real audiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2016, Dennis enjoyed the successful release of his first book, Mentalism from Copenhagen, which acheived world-wide distribution. It was received with great enthusiasm from amateurs, as well as professional mentalists!  Mentalized, also published in 2017, was his second book in the art of mystery. It was met with even greater response from the community.

Dennis loves the art and – fortunately for us – is happy to share his many years of performing experience with his readers. As well as providing everything necessary to perform each effect, Dennis also includes detailed notes, credits and inspirations. I enjoyed these just as much as the effects.

Hardcover 297 pages.\u003cbr\u003e\nReviewer's note: I reviewed a PDF draft of the book. The final version may be slightly different in content and formatting from what I submitted to The Linking Ring for review. I can almost guarantee you don't know who Dennis Hermanzo is because the name is a pseudonym, but you will want to consider buying the third installment in a series that has generated a lot of positive comments in international mentalism circles. Hermanzo is a well-known Danish performer who began releasing twenty years of materials in 2016 with a book called Mentalism from Copenhagen, then released Mentalized in 2017, and now A State of Mind in 2018.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHermanzo's book are known for high impact material based on successfully reworking classic mentalism plots, methods, and concepts to make them simpler. He doesn’t add to create a variation, but instead works towards minimalist versions. While sharing his tips on how to become a better mentalist performer in essays on performing, stage fright, and being in the right state of mind, the heart of his philosophy is, “Head, heart, and imagination. That is what your performance should connect to!”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book, he promises in big bold letters: ”No fancy gimmicks. No difficult sleights. No new methods. NO pipedreams…” By and large, he delivers on his promise. There are no special gimmicks beyond a nail writer needed for most of the effects. However, there are three exceptions: one effect uses an impression board, another requires Gozinta Boxes, and another uses Banachek’s Psychic Pad Folio. In all, there are twenty-three routines, with extensive photos to back up each effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA State of Mind has a lot of good presentations and good mentalism. For example, “The Lying Truth” is an anywhere, anytime Lie Detector Test that can be done on the fly for a large or a small crowd. The method is bold but easy to do. A ten-dollar bill is put into one of three envelopes. The envelopes are sealed and mixed several times outside the performer’s view, yet he still easily identifies which envelope has the money. You wouldn’t think Hermanzo’s way of getting into the effect would be effective, but it is. He asks if anyone remembers the old nursery rhyme, “Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire.” He then explains that our body temperature and psychology change when we lie. I found the old nursery rhyme resonated with me and made an instant connection. It lends itself to lots of byplay before you get to the effect. It reinforced one of Hermanzo’s tenets of mentalism: That great mentalism is not about puzzles. It is about creating emotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is also a simplified two-person code effect called “Psychic Wife,” in which emotions are written on cards. One is randomly and freely selected. The magician calls his wife one the phone, and she performs a reading over the phone before revealing the thought-of card. Hermanzo explores Sound Reading from Corinda’s 13 Steps to Mentalism with a very clever effect that allows you to show of your precognition and mind control using soft drink bottles. Hermanzo prefers to have this ready to go at his home for guests. I tried it at home; it’s effective and a lot of fun because the objects are so ordinary. However, it can also easily work on stage. An especially brilliantly redesigned version of the late Bob Cassidy’s powerful and dangerous effect called “Russian Roulette,” which used actual guns, is something you want to look at closely. Hermanzo’s version uses paint sprays cans. It takes out the actual danger element without losing the dramatic atmosphere the piece can create.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch of the theory in this book is not new to experienced performers, but it is articulated in a direct and no-nonsense manner that makes it easy to absorb. It may cause you to rethink what you have been doing or simply confirm your own experiences, both of which is a good thing. In keeping with his promise, the methodology for most of the effects is not new, but the presentations are very good and should lead you in creating your own personalized material. The provenance of each effect is extensively detailed, making it easy to go back and look at original material and concepts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis would be a valuable book for those getting into mentalism and those who have been performing for a while but have hit a creative wall. A State of Mind’s sweet spot is for those experienced performers looking to declutter their material and methodology. Those wanting to get rid of electronic gimmicks and gadgets and get back to a reliable form of old-school mentalism without losing entertainment value should buy this.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended.

The Sceptic Reginald Scot exposed cups and balls in his book, «The Discoverie of Witchcraft» in 1584.

One of my favorite chapters is the Bonus chapter where Adam shares his emergency act. I wrote about this is my own book and shared my own emergency act. It’s always fascinating to know what others do in a situation where their main act is lost or delayed and what material they choose to perform.  Adam shares the routines he does for his close-up act and his Stand-up Act. The material in the stage act can easily be carried in hand luggage and you will never lose it. It’s a solid 45 minute show which combines magic and mentalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the things that really strikes me about Adams work is the thinking that goes behind some of the more classic routines. His take on The Jumbo “Sex” Card Repeat had me laughing out loud. You have to understand that Adam is Australian and I am a New Zealander. There is a fun rivalry between the two countries and Adam takes a fun poke at our accent with this routine. it’s a very funny routine that would I can see playing really well in Australia, but more importantly it shows you how to give a fresh spin on a classic of magic. He also shows how to make up the gimmick cards necessary and I really like the way he’s made the cards. His version of Three Cards across is one of the easiest I’ve seen and he’s very good at telling a story that parallels the action of the trick. Another great example of this is his routine for the Chinese Sticks. This routine has a more motivational spin on it, and he shares his complete patter. It would be great for somebody who does after dinner speaking or some kind of magic\/motivational presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHave you ever thought about doing The Die Box for adults?? I actually saw a magician do it at The Magic Castle once and it went over incredibly well. Adam shares his routine which is about his grandfather and gambling. It’s a great version and does away with the kids sucker routine.  The half-dyed hank routine where the hanky changes in the child's hand is a real surprise and again, a novel spin on this classic routine. I’ve never seen anybody do this before and can’t wait to try it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIs it possible to modernize the egg bag?? Well, Adam has done just that! I agree with Adam when he says the egg bag makes no sense. It has no context and who puts eggs in a bags these days? This chapter not only teaches you a really great routine BUT also gives an insight in to how to be creative. This is the most important take from this chapter.  He shares a wonderful story of how this routine developed and I could imagine in my mind some of the things he was doing and saying when he was working on it. This is a hilarious routine and one I’d LOVE to see him perform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book contains so many routines and ideas it’s hard to name them all. Most routines have photographs and\/or illustrations showing how to make a prop.  There is a real mix of material and some great routines and presentations for mentalists as well. There is a really lovely routine for Correct Key which shows what happens when the ‘stars’ align. The focus of this routine is taken off the keys and padlock and firmly placed on a couple that is involved in the trick.  Adams version uses the premise of a marriage which could be very funny.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is a real gem and it contains some real golden A-plus material. The Appendix of the book offers some extra material you will need throughout the book. In Chapter 2 there is a section on act creation and he has a tick list that really is worth considering. This hard cover book has over 260 pages and I highly recommend it for all levels of performers as there is something for everybody.

I was cataloging a small sampling of about \u003cstrong\u003e5oo books\u003c\/strong\u003e from my father's collection where I came across a large 3-ply binder which contained the original inserts from \u003cstrong\u003eMagick - Bascon Jones. \u003c\/strong\u003e  I grabbed one of the 150 plus pages, somewhere in the middle, just as if I was picking a card from a deck, and upon turning the page who's name did I see as a contributor -\u003cstrong\u003e Larry Baukin. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e For those that know of Larry's work, no further ad copy is required. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cem\u003e\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e If there was a college or university for mentalism and magic - \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eLarry Baukin would be the distinguished professor.

These techniques and approaches to giving readings represent many years of trial and error. In addition, the volume is designed to be a practical manual for both the beginner as well as the more advanced practitioner. I also invite both mentalists and magicians to take advantage of the variety offered herein. I suggest that the reader commence his or her journey at the beginning of the book taking each chapter in sequential order. However, this advice is by no means the last word. In fact, if the reader prefers, the volume may be utilized as a kind of reference tool enabling the reader to skip around in the chapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a treatise that presents yet another variation of material that has been floating around the trade forever. Included, for example, is a script that assists the psychic when confronted by an individual who reports that they have experienced an alien abduction, or have been contacted by some manner of supernatural being. Such sitters are not all nuts! And to my knowledge, as of this writing, little or nothing is available on how to read for such people who have had these alleged encounters. I first became aware of such clients at private readings that I gave under the auspices of new age shops and psychic fairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book will contain scripts for readings derived from select mainstream psychology texts that I have found useful and often powerful in dealing with issues that are current in a client’s life. Often these texts, when presented with partial stacked deck principles, come across as quite metaphysical in their expression. In using the wealth of material that is sometimes buried within a non-magic book I have striven to include only those bits and pieces that have worked for me as a professional reader. For example, in applying the very basic structure of \u003cstrong\u003eRobert Greene’s\u003c\/strong\u003e mammoth work Mastery, I soon found myself with the reputation of a metaphysical, intuitive career guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStill, I was the psychic that people wanted to have interpreting their cards. I framed such consultations as being a kind of brainstorming with the cards. I always offered the disclaimer that I was not a career counselor of any sort, but a mere intuitive, pointing out data that the clients might want to delve a little deeper into before making their own decisions. Very little in the cold reading literature deals with corporate career situations and issues that real people have to face in their daily lives and jobs. Not everything is about love! There is much - much more - naturally. Also included are a few minor, but effective trance techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, the volume will afford a quick and simple way to offer a number of future forecasts that will not only enrich your message, but be genuinely helpful to your client. And I won’t even begin to describe a completely new way to present your knowledge of the eight \u003cstrong\u003eMyers-Briggs\u003c\/strong\u003e indicators in a style that is purely metaphysical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is something waiting for you to use successfully within these pages, hence, the book’s title, Magic Speak. The deceptively simple choice of these two words is the book’s not so hidden message. For magic, a sense of real, genuine magic is what your client or sitter wants you to provide them. Allow me to quote the poet, \u003cstrong\u003eEdna St. Vincent Millay: “Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies.”\u003c\/strong\u003e In the final analysis magic speak is the language of the kingdom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFOREWORD - By \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000\"\u003eBarry Wood\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI’ve discovered Atlantis! According to my GPS, it’s located in a nondescript strip mall in the city of Alexandria, Virginia. Okay, okay, so it’s not the lost mythical civilization people have been searching for, but instead, the name of an Italian Family Restaurant that Larry and I meet for lunch on numerous occasions. Still, it’s quite a magical place, with a strange time anomaly that I’ll explain more about in a minute. First a formality in the form of a question. \u003cstrong\u003eDoes Larry Baukin need an introduction?\u003c\/strong\u003e Readers of Cold Reading, The Classic Book of Techniques he co-wrote with his friend, the irrepressible\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Ron Martin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e know the quality their body of work represents. I’ve known of Larry for years through magic circles, but it’s only been in the last few years that I’ve gotten together with him to discuss things of a psychic nature. I’m reminded of the phrase, “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” Although our reading styles may differ, we do agree that there are two concepts we both keep in the back of our minds. First, we are constantly searching for non- cold reading books for insights, and wisdom concerning the different life stages people go through. Understanding where the person is coming from and the possible challenges they are facing or will face soon creates rapport and trust, forming a deeper connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clue has been there all along; Look at the bibliography or suggested reading list of any good cold reading book from the past and \u003cstrong\u003eyou’ll find what was considered the most important references and non-cold reading book of the time, within these pages\u003c\/strong\u003e. Second, we are also looking for solutions that we can provide as practical guidance or possible paths to be taken by the client. After all, that’s what they’re paying us for. Ah…now, where was I? Oh right, Atlantis. In the past. As I step into the restaurant for the first time, I feel like I’m crossing over a threshold to another dimension. Except for the way most people are dressed or that many are looking at their phones or iPads, you would be hard-pressed to identify the current decade. I could just as easily be in the 60’s or 70’s. It’s dark; the waitresses are all over 50 and there doesn’t seem to be an air of urgency most restaurants have during the lunch hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI greet Larry and we sit in a booth. I can see why Larry likes this place; good food, generous portions, and they have homemade apple pie. Not the flavor of the month, no, apple pie made from scratch, through trial and error, using just the right ingredients, in the right amounts to create something delicious that patrons will come back for time and again. Now let us speed forward. During our latest lunch, Larry has a little sparkle in his eye as he mentions he just finished writing his new book, Magic Speak. As he’s describing some of the content, my mouth begins to salivate like it did when the apple pie arrived. From his discovery of gold nuggets in non-cold reading books and how he incorporates them into his readings to his ingenious use of the Myers-Briggs personality types in his past-lives scripts, I knew this wasn’t going to be the typical cold reading book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI love how he uses real-life examples of clients he’s read for to illustrate the concepts he’s presenting. Read what happens when Larry encounters the lady who had an alien visitation. More importantly, you’ll read how he found a source later for being better prepared the next time something like that happens, and now you will be too. As I step out of the restaurant and say goodbye to Larry, I glance at my watch, “It can’t be.” What seemed like minutes, were in fact hours. There’s that weird time anomaly thing again. Excuse me while I sit in my car and write down some notes of our meeting. Fortunately, you don’t have to do that; it’s all right here waiting for you. So dig into the apple pie.

In Magic Speak, Lary Baukin’s new book, he once again sets the standards high and I am highly impressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarry never once has to apologize that his information is difficult to explain, because in fact it is clearly presented in a manner that is well written and highly practical to the experienced reader. He never has to explain how to make the information he offers practical, because it is real world material that will be helpful to the client. In the first chapter, he takes some pop psychology books and clearly applies the material, geared to help people, to be used by the cold reader, providing appropriate tarot cards to supply the messages you wish to deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the second chapter he provides a very novel method of how to handle a reading for a client who has experienced a supernatural or otherworldly experience, something I had never seen addressed in our business. Chapter three is an absolutely brilliant and clear approach and script about cleansing. Chapter four is about past lives, using the Meyers-Briggs system of categorizing the personality types over the Minor Arcana face cards (which I briefly touched upon in January of this year in my own book Ancient and Modern Classics of Bizarre Magick).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter five covers simple systems for stacking Tarot cards (not as thorough as in his book the Unholy Grail, but quite practical). Chapter six cleverly applies Cialdi’s Influence compliance techniques to tarot readings. Chapter seven explores the theme that everyone has within them the potential to become a master.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagic Speak is not a thick book like the Ron Martin\/Larry Baukin book Cold Reading; the Classic Book of Techniques. This book may not be helpful to the beginner in cold reading, but to advanced readers, it contains valuable information that will make your readings stand out even more than they do now. Larry Baukin continues to prove to be the best cold reading teacher of our time. -\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Jim Magus \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steven's Magic Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42462097276980,"sku":null,"price":112.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/1461\/6628\/files\/Magic-Speak-Larry-Baukin.png?v=1737197644"},{"product_id":"paradoxes-of-size-a-treatise-on-geometric-vanishes-peter-prevos-third-hemisphere-publishing-download","title":"PARADOXES of SIZE - A Treatise on Geometric Vanishes - Peter Prevos - Third Hemisphere Publishing - DOWNLOAD","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"alignleft wp-image-92474\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/1461\/6628\/files\/SMEEXCLUSIVEWEB-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"88\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Peter Prevos work in incredible in every way.

No one provides more bang for your buck than Peter.  Not to mention, he has an uncanny ability of choosing the most intriguing concepts with respect to \"visual\" magic. His research is superb, as he remains steadfast to the honor and ethics in magic by crediting the sources of the examples he provides in this book.    Only Peter could take geometry and make it exciting!

For real.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the last decade, magicians and mentalists have come to me for advice on boosting their business, so I decided to make the information available for a wider swath of our brethren (and sistren). Way back in 1993 I began trying to make a career as a mentalist and ended up flat broke in 1998. Yes, broke. Totally. I did not declare bankruptcy, but I was on the precipice of it along with other potential disasters. I know others in our field who have been there too. Not fun. Not pretty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo I went and got a real estate license, sold houses and rented apartments, got my financial feet under me, and then over the next two years, transformed and rededicated myself to making a successful career of mentalism with massive changes in how I do business. Necessity is the proverbial mother of invention, and subsequently I reinvented the way I marketed and sold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy business began to grow, little by little, and then in 2001 it burst into a mega-flow of bookings for the last 19 years, performing 90 to 120 engagements each year at great rates, sometimes for as high as some of the mega-stars in the field, and I’ve gotten to travel and see much of the globe doing it. I even had a good flow of work through the “Great Recession” of late 2008 through 2011.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy career skyrocketed, not by luck, but by certain skills. Thus, this book is THE ROCKET. And I promise you, if you follow what I share in THE ROCKET, and if you have a good show and presentation skills, your career will skyrocket too.\u003cbr\u003e\nOf course, if you suck as a performer, then there is not much I can do for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut again, if you have a really good show and presentation skills, THE ROCKET will help your career to skyrocket. To be clear, while I would never claim to be all-knowing on this or any subject, I have gained a mountain of tried and true insights and gems which I will pass on to you, plus what’s more, THE ROCKET contains no muss or fuss, no filler. It contains clear, easy-to-follow, simple explanations of stuff that works! From the first few pages of this book, you will gain info which you can use immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the fuel inside THE ROCKET ?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMARKETING VERSUS SALES\u003c\/strong\u003e - There are many “marketing” books in the field of magic and mentalism, but there are few if any “sales” books. What’s the difference? Marketing is about magnetically getting the word out there of who you are and what you offer. Sales is the interaction with the customer once you have actual contact with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn THE ROCKET, I explain not only how to magnetically get the message out, but also I explain how to talk with customers, how to negotiate, how to get higher fees, and how to “close” the deal so they can experience your outstanding performance.\u003cbr\u003e\nTHE ROCKET shows you both, and if you dedicate yourself to both, in time you will have a full calendar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHOW TO MAKE YOUR OFFER OF A SHOW IRRESISTIBLE. - \u003c\/strong\u003eWhen you speak with a prospective client, on occasion they have seen you perform or they come to you with such high recommendations that the booking is relatively easy, but many times, they either are considering you against other entertainers or they love you but they have hesitancy toward spending the money for your fee. To win them over, you have to make your offer of a show irresistible. I mean, it has to be so magnetically attractive, they cannot resist. Sounds easy, but it isn’t. So how do you do it? THE ROCKET explains how. And it works nearly every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE MARSHALL FIELD SCHOOL OF CUSTOMER SERVICE. - \u003c\/strong\u003eMarshall Field was the legendary owner of MARSHALL FIELD’S in Chicago, one of the all-time greatest department stores for nearly a century in the history of retail. He had one prime philosophy of customer service and I’ll share it with you, what it means, and how to use it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE THREE THINGS YOU CAN DO IMMEDIATELY TO GET MORE DONE IN LESS TIME. - \u003c\/strong\u003ePart of succeeding in filling your calendar with bookings is the ability to get a lot of tasks done each and every day. Do you ever wonder why some people get so much done, while others, no matter how they try, just can’t accomplish the same? Believe me, I know, as I used to be one of the world’s great procrastinators. But there are three things you can do, simple things, which create amazing organization, focus and the ability to get shit done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHY YOU SHOULD NEVER STRIVE FOR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION\u003c\/strong\u003e - That’s right. You should never strive to satisfy your customers. Never, ever. Why? If you have satisfied customers, that is not good enough. If you go to a restaurant and you are satisfied with the experience, are you likely to tell other people about the restaurant? Maybe you will, but probably not. But if you dine at a restaurant and you’re wowed and elated about the experience, then you will most surely tell several friends and many others about how great it was.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo from here on there will be no more “customer satisfaction.” For you, satisfied customers will now be a thing of the past. There will only be customer elation, customer wow-ification, and customer thrill-mazement. If you want others talking about you and thus referring you, you have to WOW them, not satisfy them.  I’ll help to show you how to make that happen. And it happens by you doing more than a terrific show. I’ll show you all the things you can do beyond just performing which will keep your customers coming back for more and also excitedly referring you to many others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSCROLL BELOW FOR MORE OF WHAT'S CONTAINED IN THE ROCKET.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSIDNEY FRIEDMAN\u003c\/strong\u003e on \u003cstrong\u003eNBC-TV's TODAY SHOW,\u003c\/strong\u003e one of hundreds of appearances on national and local TV shows.

Ask the right questions and you’ll get answers which lead to a booking. Ask the wrong questions and you’ll have an empty calendar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHY OBSERVATION IS IMPORTANT?\u003c\/strong\u003e - Yes, observe. Your ability to observe during the booking process, whether in person, on the phone, or by email or text, must be as powerful as any ability you possess. With THE ROCKET, observing the nuance will get you bookings you would have never gotten before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHOW TO PROVE TO A PROSPECTIVE CLIENT YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL FOR THEM\u003c\/strong\u003e - ​There are four components to making believable proof of your excellence, worth and value. THE ROCKET explains these components and how to express them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e​HOW TO WIN OVER A COMMITTEE\u003c\/strong\u003e - Yes, the dreaded committee decision. Yikes!! Every performer has been there. You get a call from someone who is gathering information from many performers to present to their committee of 6, 8, 12, 50, whatever committee members who will sift through all the information and somehow make an informed decision. And all the wonderful rapport you have with the person who called is lost on the rest of the committee. All of the essence of what you told that one person is never passed on to the rest of the committee. And it's now a free-for-all of luck if you get hired.  So while I cannot assure that you'll win over every committee, THE ROCKET can help you significantly increase, YES, significantly increase the number of favorable committee decisions for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e​This is real-world stuff. And it works. Tried and tested over continually failing to win the dreaded committee decisions, I figured out amazing strategies and processes, so I now have a track-record of many years successfully winning over dozens upon dozens of committee decisions. THE ROCKET shows you how.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHOW TO ACQUIRE AT LEAST HALF OF YOUR AUDIENCE’S CONTACT INFORMATION AT YOUR SHOWS\u003c\/strong\u003e - Yes, you can ask your audience to sign up for your mailing list, but yawwwwwwm, few people if any wish to be on yet another list. You can ask your audience to friend you on Facebook or Instagram during an effect where a reveal is posted on social media, but it is still difficult to get people to actually “friend” you or “like” your page while many people are fumbling with their phones, connection, etc. I’ll show you a means of getting at least half your audience (and usually as much as 75% to 80% of your audience) to give you their contact info and\/or “friend” or “like” you on social media so you may stay in touch and keep your name vital for them in the months and years to follow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA BONUS: HOW TO GET ON TELEVISION\u003c\/strong\u003e - While not the be all, end all, for getting bookings and making a living in the magical arts (you can fill your calendar without it), have you ever watched another magician or mentalist on TV and said to yourself, “Hey, I could do that. How can I get on TV too?” ​Yes, you have indeed said it. While TV is not the dream for all of us, nor is it a necessary component to fill your calendar with bookings, nearly all of us at times do imagine that touch of stardom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have been on \u003cstrong\u003eTHE VIEW,\u003c\/strong\u003e the \u003cstrong\u003eTODAY SHOW,\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTHE LEEZA GIBBONS SHOW,\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTHE OTHER HALF,\u003c\/strong\u003e and numerous other national TV shows, plus I’ve been on hundreds of local TV shows in Chicago, Nashville, Washington D.C., Seattle, Vancouver and more, including over 50 times on the WGN MORNING NEWS in Chicago. They keep having me back. And I do it without having a Public Relations professional working on my behalf to book me. I book those appearances basically by myself. So I know a thing or two about getting on television. An appearance even on a local show, if you do well, can help to elevate your credibility and help solidify you as a go-to performer when it comes to entertainment bookers. And at the least, if you do well, a TV appearance will provide you with amazing footage to use in your promo reel. While it's a crowded field of not only magicians and mentalists, but also numerous other performers attempting to get on television, THE ROCKET explains how to have a truly fair and reasonable shot at getting booked not only on TV but also on radio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e​THE MYSTICAL THING YOU CAN DO TO INCREASE BUSINESS\u003c\/strong\u003e - In addition to doing all the nitty gritty stuff, there is also a component which goes beyond great business practices, great marketing, and great sales. I won’t say more on this, but it is the metaphysical component of marketing and sales, and it works. Yes, many in the magical arts will turn their logical minds away from this component of success, but read it, try it, and DO IT.

Here’s why: Sidney Friedman has mined his 20-something years of successful performance experience to write a book dedicated to making you STICKY (in a good way). Want to be so sticky that clients will form bonds with you and your brand of performance quickly? Want to be so sticky that the bonds you create cannot be broken by competition or corporate committees? Want to be so sticky that TV producers will be attracted to your program pitches and want to book you locally and nationally? Pick up this concise, fun-to-read (so sticky in its own right) book right away.

I’ve always felt both stories would make a great movie because of the times they lived and the way they performed. The author takes a strong view, and one that I totally agree with, of how mentalism has gone from being ‘mentalism’ or mind-reading to actually some type of psychological babble that seems to be popular at the moment. By studying Hanussen and Messing you will find out what real mentalism should look like. Within these pages you will not only learn some of the guarded secrets, but also give a refreshing approach to mentalism, one that I think many of the younger performers will find interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHelmuth makes a bold statement saying you don’t need all the electronic gadgets our there to do impossible mentalism, and again he hits the nail on the head. This might be another eye opening statement for younger readers but it’s absolutely true. The best mentalists in the world don’t need all the gimmicks and gadgets that flow through pages on websites today. If you can do contact mind-reading and perfect it, as Hanussen and Messing both did, then you will save yourself thousands of dollars AND be able to do this anytime and anywhere. There is also a fantastic Q\u0026amp;A in this book which is one of the best I’ve read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book will teach you the real secrets to both of these legendary performers, which has to do more with their acting skills, the stage, stories told about them, and skills. You will learn the real secret to great hypnotism, and the author really encourages you to delve deeper in to what it really means. I love this little sentence from the book, “ Get training and then practice, practice, practice! Read as much as you can and become an expert. This is one of the steps to become a real mentalist.” The idea of being a real mentalist is the entire tone of this book and is so refreshing to read. Both Hanussen and Messing, were excellent hypnotists. Hanussen would often refer to hypnotism in his work, but Messing never did but he certainly used the tools to achieve the impossible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is so much to learn from this book. It is on the higher end but it is intended for the serious student or performer who wants something different and unique. I think this book would be a real eye opener for many and hopefully inspire readers to re-look at what mentalism was and could be again. More and more mentalists today say they have no psychic abilities and they are doing it psychologically. I love this line from the book on the chapter READINGS, “In my opinion it makes no sense to give readings unless your name is Hannibal Lecter or Sherlock Holmes.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book has awakened my concept of mentalism and I hope somebody takes this and runs with it - because it could very easily be something ‘new’ to a new generation that has grown up with being told how things are done. It has also awakened my interest in both of these famous performers and I am now on the search for more information. \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Paul Romhany\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steven's Magic Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42462250696756,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/1461\/6628\/files\/392855F7-764B-45CE-8FB1-0480D9CBE746.jpg?v=1737198691"},{"product_id":"magick-bascom-jones-5-vol-set-book","title":"MAGICK - Bascom Jones - 5 Vol. Set - Book","description":"\u003cp\u003eHighly sought-after.

At other times, the camera is turned to the audience, inviting readers to step into the magician's shoes and see what he sees - the laughter and the outbursts; the silence and the hand-wringing; the collapsing-onto-your-neighbor's shoulder and the wide-eyed disbelief.

An evening of conjuring, mind-reading, and sleight of hand performed in an exclusive salon setting, the show carries the torch of the elegant parlor magic tradition that characterized Manhattan during the early twentieth century. Billionaires, movie stars, Nobel Prize-winners, elite athletes, and heads of state have sat alongside ordinary folks, all of them tied together by the shared hope that magic might truly exist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"malwarebytes-root\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Steven's Magic Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42462407557172,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/1461\/6628\/files\/69177-alt1.png?v=1737199710"}],"url":"https:\/\/stevensmagic.com\/collections\/instructional-books.oembed?page=35","provider":"Stevens Magic Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
