This is not going to be a thread about what you can and cannot do, but more about an idea I have recently been thinking about. Whislt watching the Max Maven DVD Nothing in the interview between him and Michael Weber, Max mentioned something very intersting. Apparently he talked about it in the...

I pretty much only do mentalism. And more specifically the source of my power is that of a 'watcher'. In a nutshell my back story is that I have spent so much time watching people and how they interact I can determine not only what they are thinking but also push them into thinking what I want...

Nexus they sound very interesting I have down something very similar though to all that material however I am still interested in seeing how one of the best goes about it.

My advice would be to to take mentalism seriously and read books about developing a persona and how your 'power' works. Look at Derren Brown, his character is one of an understanding of the psychology of people and how to exploit it. So Anate would work perfectly fine in relation to his...

I am still around I am just hiding a little. Hows things?

Can anyone tell me how big the download is in mb.

Now I am very interested in these DVDs. I use a lot of muscle reading in all aspects of my shows from casual impromtu effects all the way to my stage show. If anyone takes this really seriously I would love to throw around some ideas on the subject.

Do you mean real stage or something more like a palour show? Also how long do you want it to be and what do you want your audience to take out of it. As for the recomendations of mentalism I am a huge fan of this however please make sure that you do it right. Mentalism has a reputation of...

On disk three of get nyman there is his whole pitch performed and although it does not go through the mechanics he does talk about the psychology of how to make it work. And just buy watching it you see the real power of suggestion as he cements the idea in the spectators head that he really...

Try to find fotage of Andy Nyman doing it, his method is considered one of the best. You can find it on Get Nyman aswell, where he goes into the psychology of the effect. The DVD is great but that is just a little nice bonus.

The Johnson Justification is amazing. I used it today in rehersals for my new show fried all my close friends who were watching it. I used this in a strange sort of not really slowing / stopping my pulse but deep relaxation to go onto my closer. Sort of what Derren did in SWTWC but still a...

I would definatly pick it up as it is out of print and was only ever published in small quatities. As for the material involved everything in there is amazing and very simple in method. As for the serial number routine it is more of a stage piece but is adaptable. The other two routines are...

Whilst a lot of books that have been mentioned are true classics they don't really fit in with T11's objective. Atleast to me this site is trying to advance the art. Whilst I am a juge believer I that we have to know where we come from to know where we are going. But there are many places to...

If it was a casual thing I would not really bring anything with me at all. And all the material that I would perform would be things that are not only organic in nature but also real. Things like muscle reading little hypnosis demonstrations Prevaricator, are all quite high on my list. Aswell as...

Prevaricator that's enough for a small act right there. Contact mind reading to get the whole meal for free. Billet work with the napkins. Maybe a few small hypnosis demos, just set pieces stiff arms etc.

I have 4 routines with cards that I know inside and out that I always perform. There are a few that I use from time to time if I am trying to make an impression that require a setup howere they are a fairly simple setup up that takes a fair bit of culling. These effects are staples of my...

Depends on which edition of the book that you get. If it is a first edition with lift and reminisance in it than it is well worth the $300. However I have yet to see a first edition on anywhere as there were printed in limited supply. A lot of the material that is found in the book can also...

The biggest advice I can give you is that you should read books about showmanship, and also about character development. If you want to suspend belief you need to understand the psychology of magic more than the technical aspect. If you take something as simple as a coin vanish everyone can...

His Sympathy for the Devil is an amazing routine howere it is suited for the stage or palour type setting. Paul is such an amazing thinker that nothing he put out is even remotely average. His HCE routine has a lot of big names saying he should not sell it even with its high price. But...

I use to use the Tommy pad that you can buy as a PDF download from Alakazam. Now it is the butterfly all the way. But the Tommy pad is exactly what you want.
