  • 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. I love that you I can stand in front of an audience of 5,000 or don’t have to carry around a lot of props.

  • 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).

  • DOMENICO DANTE FISM International President Dear
    DOMENICO DANTE FISM International President Dear President, Dear Friend in Magic, My philosophy has always been this: “facts speak for themselves”. You can check what I did in these three/six years, with the precious help of the Int. Vice Presidents and the Consultancy Groups, in my triennial report that will be sent to you soon. There is still a lot to do of course and this is why I am asking for the re-election (according to our Statutes for the last period of three years possible,) to accomplish something that is very important to me, since one of the main goals of FISM is to improve Magic and to raise the level of Magicians: - FISM Competition Compliance System (CCS) that will provide rules and services to Associated Societies to better Qualify their Competition and promote them as FISM Compliance Competition. - FISM Jury Qualification System (JQS) selecting and training qualified Judges to assure uniformed and high-quality judging all over the World. - To go on promoting FISM also outside the world of magic (including Academies and Universities). The Fism Board is already working on this matter and the success of the project matters to me. I want to thank you all for the support you gave to me and the Board during these years. It is a great reward for the really hard job we did. Kindest regards Domenico Dante DOMENICO DANTE FISM International President Dear President, Dear Friend in Magic, Ma philosophie a toujours été celle-ci : « Les faits parlent d’eux-mêmes ». Vous pourrez vérifier tout ce que j’ai accompli durant ces trois/six ans, avec la précieuse collaboration de mes deux vice-présidents et des Consultancy Groups, dans mon rapport triennal que vous recevrez sous peu.

Contents Scatter Shot A multi-phased Ace production specifically designed for an opener. The Aces literally seem to come from everywhere, right up to the mind- blowing finish. Favouritism A spectator nominates their lucky Jack to find two selected cards, but discovers it can do much better than that! A great ‘kick back’ style routine. Psychic Blackjack Lay out four blackjack hands, and then loan the spectator a poker chip in order to make a bet on your behalf. They have a completely free choice, but they always pick the hand that’s best for you… Hard to Read A demonstration that appears to be all about watching for a spectators ‘tell’ and reading their poker face to reveal their selection, but is really about winning, by any means necessary! X-Static A very efficient sandwich routine that boils down to literally one move that does everything – great card magic has never been lazier! The Big Squeeze A simple and off-beat variation of the Hofsinzer Lost Ace Problem, where the Aces reveal the suit and value of a selection, before being squeezed together to produce the card! Equidistant Transpo A streamlined take on a notoriously difficult plot that sees two packets of cards transposing, despite being buried in different sections of the deck.

  • Sealed Vision
    SEALED VISION The X-Ray Eye Act Written by Will Dexter eBook Version TRICKSHOP.COM About the cover: The gentleman pictured is Kuda Bux. During his lifetime, Kuda’s outstanding technique and showmanship helped him earn international acclaim with the X-Ray Eye Act. The following brief bio is from an article by Bill Larsen, Jr. in Genii Magazine. The Man With the X-Ray Eyes Kuda has just returned to the Magic Castle from a tour of Canada with Peter Reveen. He was a sensation and will again join the Reveen Company, if plans work out, to tour Australia later in the year. As near as I can make out from the clippings (and I don’t want to ask Kuda as this is to be a surprise) Kuda must be either 69 or 70 years old having been born in Aknmur, Kashmir, Pakistan in either 1905 or 1906. Early in his life he realized he had an ability not shared by many. This was concentration. We are all aware of the five senses but Kuda was to develop within himself a sixth sense or inner sense. Through his successful years of performing he has been headlined in papers around the world as: “The Wonder of the Century;” “One of the most famous ‘Makers of Magic’ who ever came out of the East;” and the “8th Wonder of the World.” In the thirties he made headlines in England (which were to be repeated in the U.S. in the forties) with his fire walking. A fire trench 25 feet long and six feet across was filled with seven tons of logs and a ton of charcoal.

  • Jan :: Something About Magic
    Jan. 2019 // Magic Pop-Up // Something About Magic And Magician Culture by Geoff Kanick magic sleight-of-hand prestidigitation conjuring There are different ways to define it. How do you define it? The power of apparently influencing the course of events by using mysterious or supernatural forces. Teller defined it as: The theatrical linking of a cause with an effect that has no basis in physical reality, but that — in our hearts — ought to. I asked my 4 year old niece Coco what magic is and she said, “A lot…and none.” Which might be the most profound answer. There are many categories of magic: Close-up magic Stage magic Illusions, which are sometimes called Big Box Magic There’s parlor magic Mentalism… which some mentalists argue is not magic Street magic Bizarre magic Mathemagic Card magic Coin magic Comedy magic Kids magic Gospel magic Quick Change Acts Manipulation Acts Cardistry Escapology Pickpocket Routines Impromptu Magic There are people rooted in the traditions of the Spanish school of magic. Jan. 2019 // Magic Pop-Up Others who look to the teachings of Dai Vernon and Charlie Miller. There are lectures and conventions, big conventions where more than 1000 magicians gather and fill an expo hall with magic and vendors and late night jam sessions. Some magicians call them tricks, some call them effects, or illusions. There are debates whether to use a push off or a strike.
