The truth is, I will probably be releasing some new material on a DVD soon. Since my Hi-Def camcorder broke on me, and I am over 1000 miles away from home, I felt a book would be appropriate for release at this time. Sometimes my heart and love of both writing and this art encourages me to share my effects with the world. On top of the need for expression, there!s also something inherently romantic about a book, even if it is an e-book. The satisfaction of printing it out and reading it on a plane trip or even cuddled up in bed just before the sandman works his magic is innumerable. I am also rejuvenated by friends like Patrick Kuffs who keep giving to our community. He is a wonderful friend who!s legacy will live on. His recent gesture of releasing a few effects via the net, to help inspire the next generation of magi, has inspired me to attempt to do the same with this book. Imitations is the highest form of what? So here she is, my new treatise on paranormal dexterity with a charlatan twist, I call it Delusions. It is the second major publication I have released. The first entitled Untitled, gained moderate underground success. I hope all of you enjoy this one as much as the first. And may my coffers over flow with the fruits of my research. This book has more impromptu and easy to carry miracles and is slightly more heavy on the predictions. -Scott Xavier 2006 www.ScottXavier.com “The cure for the common card trick!” VI Delusions: Experiments in a Surreality Pleasure Squared: An Anywhere Mind Reading Miracle Once again I am brow beaten with people asking for impromptu effects on the internet. Impromptu? To what degree? To make one look superhuman it takes a lot of setup, and rightfully so. This next effect, however, is a semi impromptu miracle that takes no special gadgets. Most mentalists have the necessary gadgets on them right now. the Effect: The mentalist remarks about dreams and how they are the gateway to the mind and thus, can be a powerful tool for shamans, magicians, and mind readers who want to peer into one!s hidden desires. The mentalist removes a business card holder from his inside suit jacket pocket and asks a spectator to hold it until called for. The business card holder is sealed shut using 2 rubber bands preventing any tampering of its contents. The performer now selects a random spectator from the audience and asks them to expand their imagination with the rest of the audience. The spectator selects a dream date as well as chooses a name for this date. The date brings a gift, the spectator sees the gift in her mind and VII Delusions: Experiments in a Surreality names it. A location for the date is also chosen. Movie, theater, dinner, or dancing; any location can be freely chosen. A name for that particular business is chosen as well such as Mickey!s Bowling Alley. The time that the date ends, as well as whether or not the “mystery date” gets a kiss is also determined by the spectator. For the first time the business card holder is opened and a folded prediction removed. The prediction tells of the exciting night in specific detail that was just created by the spectator. The prediction even predicts the spectators name who invents this fantasy! A true mystery of real precognition! the Secret: This effect uses a technique known as double writing. The basic premise is that the performer actually records the responses on a 3 X 5 index card. Folded up on the bottom of this index card is a folded in half business card. VIII Delusions: Experiments in a Surreality The business card looks like this: Upon writing the initial response of the spectator on the index card, the responses are also duplicated on the business card on the bottom. The audience never sees the business card so they are unaware of what IX Delusions: Experiments in a Surreality is going on. In essence you are duplicating the answers just given onto the business card on the correct corresponding line! All the audience sees is that you are recording the answers, “for clear precise analysis later.” Now all you have to do is palm the business card and load it into the business card holder. If palming scares you, you can load the prediction by recovering the card holder and simply slipping the prediction inside with the index card blocking the view. The rubber bands of the business card holder are wrapped around in such a way that you can load the prediction inside from the side. MENTALISM ASIDE: Another presentational aside comes from my friend Scott Leavitt: “I Believe Oz Pearlman mentioned that he's coming out with a natural looking pen that can write in multiple colors - will be a natural for this as the colored print on the pad and business card can then be different to throw folks further off the scent!” Could be amazing to have 2 different color inks. One for the prediction and one for the immediate recording. See pictures on preceding pages for better understanding. X Delusions: Experiments in a Surreality ABOVE: Index card and business card prediction gaff. BELOW: Ungimmicked business card holder unloaded. XI Delusions: Experiments in a Surreality ABOVE: Performer view of prediction being loaded. Note that I am not holding the business card holder because I needed to take the picture. BELOW: Close up view of prediction being loaded. XII Delusions: Experiments in a Surreality Notes: I. From a recent Chuck Hickok essay, I developed a new appreciation for ordinary props. Chuck Hickok seems to believe that wallets may look hokie on stage, I on the other hand do not. Real psychics get visions all the time and would jot them down when ever they get them, such as on a business card and keep it in a nearby business card wallet . NONE OF THESE “PROPS” WILL EVER RAISE SUSPICION! They are natural in most settings. II. With several hundred shows under my belt in venues as varied as museums and colleges, I can honestly say that the majority of the audience never catches what is actually taking place. This double writing is extremely deceptive. III. I would like to thank Banachek and his wonderful series of tapes known as Radio Magic . And of course the original effect is a take on the original Confabulation effect that has seen many variations. IV. I believe the originality in this routine is the nearly impromptu nature and the fact that you do not need expensive magical props. The loading mthod as well is very original to me. V. In addition to this lust theme, you could come up with a ton of other themes that are ready to create a miracle at a moments notice. Other themes include: winning lottery numbers, mailed in headline prediction, weather predictions, shopping lists, and any time you need an instant miracle with ordinary “props”. XIII Delusions: Experiments in a Surreality Mind!Lussional: Simple is Beautiful It is your concern whether or not you add card tricks to your show. The debate burns as wildly today as it did in Annemann's day. No one can argue that all mentalists are magicians at heart. It!s like the roofer is a carpenter scenario. Anyway you look at it, I am sure you!ll love to perform this one. I can not claim any originality in this routine other than maybe making it a mental effect. It!s so simple, I could not imagine anyone not having invented it any sooner! the Effect: The mentalist being asked to perform some magical feat, borrows a deck of cards. He instructs a random and freely selected audience member to take the deck, shuffle it, and select ANY card. The card is noted and replaced. The performer mixes the cards and places one card on top of the spectators out stretched palm.

    Christopher Welsh 1005 Inland Lane McKinney, TX 75070 (approximately 14,700 words) 407-574-3423 [email protected] Coffeyville By C.E.L. Welsh Harry slowed his breathing. Across from him, no more than twenty 20 paces away, a man aimed a gun at his heart and meant to fire. Harry wanted to keep his eyes on the gun barrel, that dot of empty blackness that would spit out a metal slug with his name on it, but he knew he should be watching the man's shoulders, his chest, his stomach; —all key areas where a man might tense, moments before he pulled the trigger. He should, but he couldn't. Harry watched none of these areas. Instead, he fixed on the gunman's eyes. Each of his His eyes where washeterochromatic; each a different color. That alone wouldn't be enough to draw in Harry, to cause him to risk making a mistake at this very crucial moment; it was the quality—the nature—of the heterochromatic eyes that drew him in. The right eye was a pale blue that reflected and amplified the stage lights surrounding them, seeming to shine under it's its own power. The left eye was a dull, steely gray that pulled light in, muting it, and causing the right eye to practically glow in the contrast. In addition, the man's eyes radiated something akin to hate...was it bitterness? Disgust? Whatever it was, the crowd surrounding the men seemed sure that the man with the gun had every intention of firing when the moment was right.
  • The Amazing Meeting 5

    The Amazing Meeting 5

    The Amazing Meeting 5 Per Johan Råsmark James Randi är känd för de flesta skeptiker. Det finns knappast någon som inte vid något till- fälle i en diskussion nämnt hans utmaning, där den som kan visa upp en paranormal förmåga under kontrollerbara former kan få $ 1 000 000. För knappt ett år sedan var vi nära att förlora honom då han drabbades av en allvarlig hjärtattack, men tack vare modern medicinsk veten- skap överlevde han. Den 18 januari 2007 var han så närvarande när det femte ”The Amazing Meeting” (TMA) inleddes i Las Vegas. Dessa möten, av vilka det första hölls i Florida och de övriga har varit i Las Vegas, arrangeras av ”James Randi Educational Foundation” (JREF). Denna gång hölls konferensen på Riviera eftersom Stardust där man varit de två senaste åren håller på att för- vandlas till enbart ”dust” i den ständiga omvandlingen av staden. Konferensen har hela tiden ökat i popularitet och detta år tyckte drygt 800 personer att det var värt att resa till ett kallt Las Vegas. Enligt arrangörerna gör detta konferensen till världens största någonsin för skeptiker och det ska också vara den med procentuellt sett flest kvinnor och flest ungdomar. (För att vara sunt skeptisk vill jag påpeka att jag inte har kontrollerat de uppgifterna.) Temat för årets möte var ”Skepticism and the Media”, något som inte alla talarna höll sig till eftersom det är en stor konferens, men som kunde ses på antalet mediepersonligheter bland de inbjudna gästerna. Att man inte helt höll sig till konferensens tema märktes redan den första dagen som inled- des med två workshops.
  • Mentalism Mastery

    Mentalism Mastery

    Mentalism Mastery To be proficient in the area of mentalism one must demonstrate the illusion of extraordinary cognitive, sensory or mental abilities. These must be demonstrated in an entertaining manner and work together thematically as an “act.” The performer may use any real-world performable means at his disposal. His methods may consist of pre-show work, sleight of hand techniques, electronics, as well as gimmicks to achieve his goal. If the performer is performing a one-person act, any stooges must be of the impromptu variety; i.e. unknowing audience stooges. This is not to imply that two-performer acts are discouraged, only that the use of secret confederates is not permitted. The mentalist must take a minimal approach to props. Any props used should be as innocent looking as possible. Audience members should be allowed to hold and examine as many of the props as possible. Since the mentalist is supposed to be a mind reader, his props should not lend themselves to suspicion and they should stand up to reasonable scrutiny. Of course, the mentalism must be strong enough to fool an intelligent layman. However, not only must the effect be strong, but it should be properly paced and sufficiently interesting to command attention. A good trick, presented in a drawn out and boring manner, will not be considered mastery. By the same token, an entertaining premise that fails to deliver a convincing demonstration of mental powers will not indicate mastery of the subject. While skilled sleight of hand is not necessarily required to earn the mental mastery award, there are skills that will be judged.

    Messing with People's Minds Without Rabbits Or Hats

    Chapter 1 Messing with People’s Minds without Rabbits or Hats In This Chapter ▶ Introducing magic and mentalism ▶ Deceiving the senses ▶ Looking into the human brain ▶ Examining how mentalism works or millennia sorcerers, shamans and priests used cunning, sleight of Fhand, clever ruses, gimmicks, gaffs and props to validate their authority and maintain control over the masses. Over several hundred years, however, the art of conjuring slowly morphed into a respectable form of entertainment. Magicians became admired for their skills instead of feared for their ‘mira- cles’. The nature of mental magic means that mentalists often walk a very fine line between entertainment and psychic fraud. In this chapter, I provide an introduction to the art of mentalism and the vari- ous ways in which you can, and in certain cases should never, use it. UnderstandingCOPYRIGHTED That Magic MATERIAL Is All in the Mind A mysterious man stands with his back to a woman on stage. He’s almost sinister looking, with his jet-black mane shaved into a widow’s peak. Nothing is said between the two people as they draw images on notepads – she draws the first thing that comes into her mind and he sketches the impressions he’s receiving from her. They’ve never met before, but when they turn around and reveal the drawn images, they match perfectly. 005_9781119953500-ch01.indd5_9781119953500-ch01.indd 9 33/14/12/14/12 88:54:54 PMPM 10 Part I: Going Purely Mental Travelling light Mentalism is simple, but powerful.

    Reception and Adaptation: Magic Tricks, Mysteries, Con Games

    Reception and Adaptation: Magic Tricks, Mysteries, Con Games by Joseph Daniel Culpepper A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Comparative Literature University of Toronto © Copyright by Joseph Daniel Culpepper 2014 Reception and Adaptation: Magic Tricks, Mysteries, Con Games Joseph Daniel Culpepper Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Comparative Literature University of Toronto 2014 Abstract This study of the reception and adaptation of magic tricks, murder mysteries, and con games calls for magic adaptations that create critical imaginative geographies (Said) and writerly (Barthes) spectators. Its argument begins in the cave of the magician, Alicandre, where a mystical incantation is heard: "Not in this life, but in the next." These words, and the scene from which they come in Tony Kushner's The Illusion, provide the guiding metaphor for the conceptual journey of this dissertation: the process of reincarnation. The first chapter investigates the deaths of powerful concepts in reader-response theory, rediscovers their existence in other fields such as speech-act theory, and then applies them in modified forms to the emergent field of performance studies. Chapter two analyzes the author as a magician who employs principles of deception by reading vertiginous short stories written by Jorge Luis Borges. I argue that his techniques for manipulating the willing suspension of disbelief (Coleridge) and for creating ineffable oggetti mediatori (impossible objects of proof) suggest that fantastic literature (not magical realism) is the nearest literary equivalent to experiencing magic performed live. With this Borgesian quality of magic's reality-slippage in mind, cross-cultural and cross-media comparisons of murder mysteries and con games are made in chapter three.
  • An Overview of Cold Reading Strategies

    An Overview of Cold Reading Strategies

    CHAPTER 11 An Overview of Cold Reading Strategies Chris Roe and Elizabeth Roxburgh INTRODUCTION The standard mainstream explanation for impressive mediumistic communications is in terms of deceptive practices called cold reading. Forexample,incommentingonGarySchwartz’sbookThe Afterlife Experiments,1 which describes a number of experiments with mediums that are claimed to have produced evidence of postmortem communica- tion, Hyman comments that “the readings he presents [ ...] for his case very much resemble the sorts of readings we would expect from psychic readers in general and cold readers in particular.”2 Wiseman and O’Keeffe similarly criticize findings reported by Schwartz, Russek, Nelson, and Barentsen on the grounds that “seemingly accurate readings can be created by a set of psychological stratagems collectively referred to as ‘cold reading.’ ”3 Of medium Rebecca Rosen, Karen Stollznow comments, “like [ ...] many others before her, [she] has her own techniques for cold reading, and possibly hot reading. However, Rosen’s skills are far less impressive than those of cold reading experts.”4 Nickell claims that John Edward’s successful television demonstrations were the result of his skill at cold reading and that Edward was also not averse to gathering information about clients in advance of readings.5 Underdown6 similarly implies that James Van Praagh relies on standard cold reading techniques when broaching topics with a studio audience, and Greasley7 has provided a useful analysis of a mediumistic sitting that featured in 178 The Spiritualist Movement the British TV documentary Is There Anybody There? in terms of strata- gems of cold reading (although they are not referred to as such).
