I'm pretty certain my books via Amazon are Kindle ready, it's part of a promo deal through Lulu so most any author working with that promotion should be available. You may want to double check with Lulu about the Spotlight promotion however.

Pardon?! That particular device has been used for at least 2,500 years with great success by just about every magician that ever walked the earth. You may want to recheck things. Most of the FREAK stunts that are impromptu are also dangerous, I don't know how many young people I've seen with...

My suggestion would be that you find BOOKS on Eastern Indian FAKIR Magick along with Side Show stunts. You'll also benefit by a study in Yoga believe it or not, because it will allow you to accomplish things with your body that will enhance a lot of FREAKAZOID scenarios, such as the Rubber Man...

WOW! Awesome response CT and dare I say, square on the head of the proverbial nail. IF someone is unable to look up magic dealers on line and wade through their selection, figuring out for themselves what sounds right for them, they really don't have any business being in magic or any field...

Now this is strange. . . I tried to post to this thread yesterday and it was locked. . . All entertainers need a bit of Ego, it's what allows us to have the audacity to stand in front of lots of people and make a total ass of ourselves. . . we crave attention and I'm more than certain that...

I don't recall saying anything about my being "superior" only that I do have experience as do many of the others you seem offended by. Why does experience and the act of sharing such with someone, helping them to get prepared PROPERLY for something they wish to be a part of, why is this so wrong...

So based on your view I should tell him to run out and buy a Shadow Vision, Asrah, Thin Model Sawing and a few other $15,000.00 props that are "good tricks"? Where's the perspective? Just because one person does a particular piece and gets a standing ovation from it doesn't mean anyone else...

A list of tricks won't give him what he needs, without a foundation he'll simply be another hack halfassing stuff he's rushed into vs. someone with a foundation, that's invested some genuine time and effort into creating something that could actually win such a talent program. We see this far...

WARNING: This is going to sound harsh First of all, if you don't have an act how can you possibly consider doing "a show"? Secondly, if you don't have an act, have you even thought things through when it comes to creating one? A Routine/Act/Show does not mean you find a handful of bits...

Finding footing and defining yourself as an entity is not an easy thing to do and too, the majority of us seem to reach well beyond where we are prepared to be. For an example, those that try to be dark & heavy when presenting Bizarre Magick or even Mentalism forget that history's greatest...

"Embarrassing" the participant has never been the rule of Mentalism; the "rule" is that the two of you are working together and prior to moving into the "experiment" it is understood that you are merely helping them (using whatever ruse you are working with). For me, the goal is to help guests...

It's been years since I've even seen a Playdoh can but if they still have the metal bottom it would be very easy to add in a rare earth to one of your balls of dough and mover into a chop cup type bit. . . final loads (if you were prepared) could be a load of fun in that you could have little...

One of my favorites!

Lots of great observations guys! In order to learn the classic palm with a coin I would literally hold coins in position during my typing classes in school, typing away with coins in hand. I don't recall where I read about some other notable having done this; basically going through your day...

Try holding onto 4 decades of information. . . I stopped performing a bit over three years ago for this very reason; between age and worsening brain-damage (due to illness and lots of self-abuse during my youth) I was finding myself not just "lost" during a performance, but actually having a...

"Should Mentalism Be Done on the Streets at All?" Let me word it this way. . .Mentalism CAN be done of the streets and it can even be done in a convincing manner and has been done by many for many long years. But as I've said more than a few times, to get optimum advantage from it you must...

hahaha... I remember when it was a cassette tape

DON'T DO IT! I know this and certain other sites cater to a younger "street magic" oriented crowd but when it comes to Mentalism I simply have to ask folks where their head is and why they so enjoy paddling up-stream? Mentalism is powerful and can prove even more so when it is staged...

As stated on E. . . Any routine using Psychological Forces can work as will a good number of self-working effects. On top of this there is the Lewis Jone's book "Person to Person" and one I'd forgotten about early entitled "Your Number Please" by Richard Busch

Here's one I found that really reveals the Holiday Message "What Would Jesus Buy?"
