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.

Or do you perform Q\u0026amp;A but wish to get more proficient and improve quickly? Sidney Friedman created the answer to your need, and it's based on years of performing this feat to the massive delight and continuous re-bookings of his audience!!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow you will learn it too, plus several other non-Q\u0026amp;A routines in this book, such as his prized \"SIDNEY SAYS,\" and his take on Angelo Carbone's \"THE GIFT.\" Remember, whether you are a magician or a mentalist, each person watching you perform, behind the veil of their public face, they have a concern, perhaps a trouble, maybe a worry, even a darkness. You and I do too. Each and every person has a concern about career, or finances, or a relationship, or their health, or their appearance, or some combination of those.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor an audience, the performance of this feat by the performing mentalist, and even the keen magician who occasionally gleans a life affirming answer for the benefit of a participant, is something your audience will remember for years to come. And then, voila! They are more likely to remember and talk about your amazing feats they witnessed. In our promo, every one of us promises \"a show your guests will remember for months and years to come,\" and with Q\u0026amp;A you actually can deliver on the promise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, with Q\u0026amp;EYE, you will deliver beyond the highest level. Receiving some of the highest reviews ever, this NEW book by Sidney Friedman, \"Q\u0026amp;EYE\" is must-read. \"Q\u0026amp; EYE\" is a beautifully printed hardcover book, 172 pages, each page packed with valuable insights and information you will use!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLong in the making, Sidney now releases Q\u0026amp;EYE, following the success of Mental High Notes where among many features, Sidney shared his \"Harmony\" pendulum routine, his methods for successfully making openly stated predictions, and his techniques for doing prop less pre-show to gain information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ\u0026amp;EYE is for the experienced magical arts performer, and not the beginner, though the beginner may wish to have a gander at this book, then return in a few years.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003eQ\u0026amp;EYE,\u003c\/strong\u003e the focus (pun intended) is ten-fold:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1)\u003c\/strong\u003e Many asked for this after seeing Sidney perform it. In \u003cstrong\u003eQ\u0026amp;EYE,\u003c\/strong\u003e Sidney shares the real art of answering the questions and concerns in the lives of your audience where you affect ALL their senses. Never written about before, \u003cstrong\u003eAFFECTING ALL FIVE SENSES\u003c\/strong\u003e with Q\u0026amp;A, this is the real work, as they say, and Sidney shows you how to accomplish this feat to lift your audience, to touch them, to move them to positivity and joy. \u003cstrong\u003eBOOM!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2)\u003c\/strong\u003e How to use your eyes. Even without so-called aesthetically beautiful eyes, you will learn to utilize them to achieve great heights as a performer. Use of your eyes for power, boosting an effect, is one overlooked, under-discussed aspect of performing in mentalism and magic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3)\u003c\/strong\u003e Have you ever felt your audience was just not with you, like their heads were somewhere else, or you had their attention and then at some point they drifted. Well, no more. You will not have that situation again. As part of Q\u0026amp;EYE, you will learn the secret of what Sidney does from a distance before each performance to gain instant CONNECTION from the audience for him from the very moment he begins his show, all through to the very end. This is actually a trick, though not a trick of which your audience will be aware. It's a trick which makes sure your audience is not just a gathering of objects for you to amaze, but instead they are each wondrous, amazing, complex human beings, people you care about for their increased well-being and elevation as a result of your work. And they in turn, gaze upon you as vital to their existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4)\u003c\/strong\u003e Learn the three keys for transitions between effects. Huh? Yes, like the great stand-up comedians, more than each joke, the means of transitioning from one topic to the next is where the real art exists. It elevates the performer from good to great. It is the same for magicians and mentalists. Too often we see performances which are nothing more than a hodge-podge with no clear, relatable progression between one routine to the next. Do you want to see your GREAT MAGICAL FEATS become even greater? This is how.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e​5)\u003c\/strong\u003e THIS! Per #1 above, there are numerous methods, means, routines and philosophies written over the decades for the performance of what is known as Q\u0026amp;A, aka Question \u0026amp; Answer (or, Answer \u0026amp; Question).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Sidney Friedman, what he shares is not \u003cstrong\u003eQ\u0026amp;A,\u003c\/strong\u003e but even more, it is \u003cstrong\u003eQ\u0026amp;EYE\u003c\/strong\u003e, plus \u003cstrong\u003eQ\u0026amp;Ear, Q\u0026amp;Nose, Q\u0026amp;Taste\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eQ\u0026amp;Touch.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is Q\u0026amp;A on powerful steroids, Q\u0026amp;A which affects ALL the senses. Easy for you to grasp and learn, Sidney shares his secrets of performing this extraordinary feat of providing answers to people's thought-of questions so their entire being is elevated and fulfilled. Remember, whether you are a magician or a mentalist, each person watching you perform, behind the veil of their public face, they have a concern, perhaps a trouble, maybe a worry, even a darkness. You and I do too. Each and every person has a concern about career, or finances, or a relationship, or their health, or their appearance, or some combination of those.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor an audience, the performance of this feat by the performing mentalist, and even the keen magician who occasionally gleans a life affirming answer for the benefit of a participant, is something your audience will remember for years to come. And then, voila! They are more likely to remember and talk about your amazing feats they witnessed. In our promo, every one of us promises \"a show your guests will remember for months and years to come,\" and with Q\u0026amp;A you actually can deliver on the promise. Now, with Q\u0026amp;EYE, you will deliver beyond the highest level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSidney also includes scripting to introduce this segment of your performance, and actual lines to use during the performance. Also, Sidney gives you a vast list of the most common questions you'll receive, from practical to comical to bizarre, the entire gamut, along with potential answers for you to deliver, so you are prepared for whatever is asked. In total, it is Quantum Q\u0026amp;A you can do with your EYES wide shut. And if you have hesitated or even feared performing Q\u0026amp;A, fear no more with Q\u0026amp;EYE.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6)\u003c\/strong\u003e Why never to use the word \"trick\" in front of your audience. Well, maybe not never, but Sidney relates the importance of how one word out of 10,000 in a show can change the entire experience for an audience\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e7)\u003c\/strong\u003e The complete routine for \"Sidney Says.\" Have you ever played \"Simon Says\"? Yes, of course you have. It's the classic children's game but is a stunner for adults because even with an advanced education, the most astute adults nearly all have to take their seat because they somehow, someway, along the way misheard what \"Simon Says.\" With \"Sidney Says,\" you learn how to become a master at being the \"Simon,\" leading (and misleading) the participants, AND you learn Sidney's routine for predicting which person will ultimately win the game! The ultimate in audience participation, 20 people play the game while the rest of your audience acts as judges. 20 prizes are seen for each participant from which to randomly choose as a parting gift as they leave the game. They each open their gift and it's a single dollar. Not much, but hey, they are still a dollar richer than before they began. But remarkably, the one remaining gift, at the end when opened by the winner has the most value, a $100 bill!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can perform this with 40, 50, 60 or any number of participants, PLUS throughout the routine it is seen as the ultimate demonstration of your mental ability to use words and actions to psychologically mess up the minds of the participants, so they have to leave the game. As for the prediction and prize in \"Sidney Says,\" Sidney gives four methods for accomplishing the feat, all great, one of which is electronic, the other three of which are non-electronic, but clever, subtle and real foolers. The multiple methods allow you the flexibility to choose which works best for your style and preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e8)\u003c\/strong\u003e Sidney's method for making your \"TOUCHES\" routine more stunningly powerful, where the two participants and the onlookers believe something truly mystical is occurring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e9)\u003c\/strong\u003e Art in Error 2. In Sidney's previous book MENTALHIGH NOTES, his chapter \"Art in Error\" became one of the most talked about concepts among high-level performers in mentalism. In Q\u0026amp;EYE, Sidney expands on it further and gives more examples of where to utilize error to increase your power and effectiveness, so your audience is even more wowed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10)\u003c\/strong\u003e What we can learn from our brethren (and sistren) in the world of stand-up comedy. The three most difficult jobs to do super successfully are symphony orchestra conductor, president of the United States, and stand-up comedian. Most who attempt any of those fail, but the few who succeed in comedy, if you are alert to what they're doing, the lessons for us in mentalism and magic are enormous, and you'll learn these insights here. The fact is in comedy, you have a wide range of types, from the thin to the overweight, from the slick to the sloppy, to older, to younger, wacky, sophisticated, angry, loud, soft-spoken, and everything in between, yet there are stand-up comedians in each and every one of those categories who have become hugely successful no matter their so-called type. Sidney helps you erase your insecurities to embrace who you are externally and internally, so you make whoever you are an advantage for attracting, keeping, and greatly magnifying the attention of your audience to better wow them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e11)\u003c\/strong\u003e Plus, as a bonus, Sidney includes several diabolical routines which take known marketed props to a new level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis could be Sidney's best work.

This book reveals a new method to go far beyond Franklin's masterpiece. \u003cstrong\u003eStarting from any cell, with no math and hardly any thinking, you can enter the 256 numbers in order as fast as you can write them. As unbelievable as it sounds, the result will be a magic square with over three trillion predictable patterns. That is not a misprint. Over 3 trillion!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, filling out such a large grid by yourself would not be practical in a live performance (too boring) and it would be too much to expect an audience to verify the sums. Fortunately, you can construct the square in less than one tenth the time it would take to do it yourself by enlisting the audience to do it for you. There are also solutions for the problem of how to confirm the results without requiring anyone to do the additions. Although a trick like this is not suitable for every occasion or every audience, when the conditions are right, the experience can be breathtaking. You can be sure that no one will ever see a more impressive magic square.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book also introduces several new ways to construct nine-by-nine magic squares with an astonishing number of successful patterns. The material in this book builds upon basic methods found in Solberg's earlier books. With that background knowledge, you will find these new techniques to be easy to learn and easy to perform. The methods are advanced only in the sense that they assume knowledge of the foundations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWe urge you to check out Jim's other Magic Square Books - See Bottom of page.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stevens Magic Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45793154236468,"sku":"ML25ADVA","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/1461\/6628\/files\/Advanced-Magic-Square-Mathods-and-tricks.png?v=1739982736"}],"url":"https:\/\/stevensmagic.com\/collections\/trick-books\/close-up-magic.oembed?page=2","provider":"Stevens Magic Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
