Miracles flowed from his fingertips - effortlessly. The source of his secrets? The underworld and the gamblers, husters and con-men that roamed back-room dens of iniquity, bunked in jail cells and walked the streets of America. Vernon sought them out, befriended them, and made their work, their covert methods, his. This book, the first in-depth examination of Vernon's life, traces the first half of his remarkable journey - through Ottawa, Coney Island, Chicago, Manhattan, Kansas City and Colorado Springs - and the celebrities - Houdini, Billy Rose, and Roosevelt, that Vernon encountered along the way. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDai Vernon: A Biography also details the evolution of magic in the 20th century.

You then suggest that what they thought was a \"random decision\" (what channel to tune to) may not have been quite as random as they thought. As an example, let's say that they tuned their TV to channel 31, which is \"Animal Planet.\" You then request that the same person, or someone else in the room, simply think of a different channel, and that their selected channel should be quite deliberate, not random. You explain that they should simply think of a channel and not reveal it to you or anyone else in the room. Once they have made up their mind and indicated to you that they are thinking of a specific channel, the television (which is still on channel 31 \"Animal Planet,\") is turned off. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot only is the television turned off, but you ask that it is actually unplugged from the wall (provided that the owner of the television doesn't mind).

You ask, for the first time, what channel your spectator has been thinking of, and proceed to explain how your new skill also enables you to change channels using only the power of your mind. As you concentrate on the TV, explaining that you are focusing your mental energy on it, you request that it be turned on for the first time since being unplugged. When the television powers up, it is, remarkably, tuned to the exact channel that the spectator had been thinking of, and, the scene displayed, is exactly as you had described! \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeleshock requires no set up....no gimmicks....no stooges....in fact it requires nothing, as Telekinesis is totally impromptu. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeleshock does not use a duplicate remote control. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeleshock is totally self-working. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eThe method consists of three parts, two of which are well established and generally known mentalism methods.

It is not a question of changing the color of the costume. It is also not a question of changing the most costumes. It is foremost the harmonious interaction between the choreography, the rapid costume changes and above all the enhancing decoration which makes an arousing show out of the mundane change of a dress. The eyes are purposefully over stimulated to charge the human brain, and so an optical firework is created from a simple effect. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBackground: At the end of the year 2008 Lex Schoppi \u0026amp; Alina created a television act which amazed a television audience of more than 10 million. Now Lex Schoppi has put pen to paper and allows the reader a complete insight into the complexity of the whole quick change act. You get to see the effects from behind the curtain and understand what really happens within seconds. Apart from the technical subtleties, the author goes into detail of the correct presentation of the effects described. You get to see how a complete quick change act of 12 costumes was developed, how the costumes work, exactly why they performed in that way and how the difficulties were overcome. The techniques described in this book allowed the split second costume changes seen in the legendary television programme to be performed faultlessly. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePages\u003c\/i\u003e 144 - hardcover, 9.5\" x 6.5\" (24cm x 17cm)\u003cbr\u003e171 diagrams drawings and photos \u003cbr\u003eenglish edition translation by Lee Alex \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eREVIEWS\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"For the first time Lex Schoppi offers an in-depth look into the vivid realm of t ransformations for female performers, along with the male costumes from his own professional act, \"Lex Schoppi \u0026amp; Alina\".

Have you ever had a spectator refuse to reveal their thought-of number\/card\/item? Have you ever had a spectator deliberately lie to you about what they were thinking? This chapter deals with preventing and creating the perfect performance situation so these will never happen to you again. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Two - Subtle Creating the Perfect Situation: In this chapter you will learn how in the first two minutes to make a perfect impression for the rest of your show, equivoque subtleties, plus you will learn two amazing principles where you will appear to know intimate details about complete strangers. Why do psychological subtleties work for some performers but not for others? Banachek talks in this chapter about how conviction is the key. This chapter also includes how to use politically correct statements in your performance to influence your volunteer's thoughts and a wonderful pseudo explanation to your audience of how you can made them think of a specific vegetable. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Three - Subtle Verbal: This is all about verbal \"dual reality\" and how to be both right and wrong at the same time. It is also how to phrase something so it is understood differently by your volunteer than by the audience. A couple effects from this chapter include \"Picture Perfect\" wherein a spectator is able to describe the color of a shirt, the color of the eyes, the time on a clock and the name of an individual in a picture without ever having seen it. \"Ultimate Imagination\" is a coin visualization routine wherein the performer is able to tell a spectator which invisible coin they are thinking of and which hand holds the coin. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Four - Subtle Drawings: Drawn from Banachek's professional repertoire, this chapter reveals one of his favorite ploys: the Cheshire Cat Principle. In this effect you know how a spectator is drawing a picture in their mind and also the fact that they left out a major detail in their drawing. Among other effects and principles in this chapter, you will learn a multiple picture duplication, another picture duplication using nothing but psychological subtleties, and a routine where the performer predicts a picture drawn by a spectator. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Five - Subtle Letters: This chapter revisits Banachek's principle where spectators mix up letters in a word and think of one and you know what it is. The first two effects take this principle to a new level by allowing you to not only know the letter, but also animals, places, people, and other specific things that reside in the spectator's minds. The chapter closes with a very diabolical book test. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Six - Subtle Cards: This chapter deals with how to use various psychological principles to force playing cards. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Seven - Subtle Dates: Four spectators think of a date on the calendar. The performer correctly identifies the dates that three spectators are thinking of and concludes with a startling revelation of a fourth spectator's thought. This was originally sold for $20.00 as Kenton's Kalendar. Also included in this chapter are two different methods for revealing the day of the week in a calendar year. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Eight - Subtle Psychokinesis: When it comes to metal bending, it is imperative that the audience sees the participant feeling the psychokinesis (PK) happening. Do you want to make spectators feel hot, cold or feel taps\/touches or feel metal bend in a bag? This chapter goes into detail on how to create these impressions both psychologically and physically. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Nine - Subtle Telephone: Play a dramatic game of Russian Roulette, reveal a song that a spectator is thinking of, and detect a lie all while on the other end of the telephone. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Ten - Subtle Numbers: This chapter revisits Banachek's \"Reversal\" principle that gives it meaning and applies it to an ingenious book test. We also take an in depth visit to the \"Gray Elephant in Denmark\" principle and give it new clothing. Also included in this chapter is a prediction effect that culminates in creating a souvenir gift origami raven using psychokinesis. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Eleven - Subtle Paradox: Using the written word you are able to predict which coin will be chosen and whether it is heads or tails; which invisible M\u0026amp;M will be selected and whether or not it will have nuts; whether medication is taken for two weeks or four days, and; successfully predict the make of a car and whether or not it is a four-wheel drive. You will also be able to show that you knew the spectator's Personal Identification Number (PIN) in advance and in another effect, how to create two separate realities at the same time. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Twelve - Subtle Perceptions: Optical illusions are applied to psychic effects in this chapter. For example George Washington on a one dollar bill reveals whether or not a volunteer is telling the truth and in a separate effect, two spectators read the performer's thoughts by staring at a third spectator's scribble. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Thirteen - Subtle Betting: You will learn two different methods that will make it appear that you predicted the correct results of the lottery plus a clever way to show that you correctly bet and won on a sporting event. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Fourteen - Subtle Dunninger: This chapter reveals some of the bold subtleties used by Dunninger on stage and behind the microphone on his number one rated television show. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Fifteen - Subtle News: Banachek reveals one of his most coveted methods for predicting the headlines of the newspaper.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePages:\u003c\/i\u003e 226 - Hardbound with Dust Jacket\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Murphy's Magic Supplies, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42253640794167,"sku":"45129","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/4666\/4759\/files\/psycholog3-full.jpg?v=1780339024"},{"product_id":"worldsbeyond","title":"Worlds Beyond by Paul Curry","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"mms_prod_desc\"\u003eDo you remember the first time you saw Paul Curry's \"Out of This World\" performed?

And from this question sprang a body of magic that has astonished vast audiences in Spain and Latin America when performed on radio and television, on stage and close up. It is magic that has fooled both the public and master magicians. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing only a few playing cards, pieces of paper and other common objects as props, audiences are led through a variety of entertaining processes that lead to their utter amazement. Through clever principles, old and new, combined with cunning psychology and ground-breaking strategies, Juan Tamariz makes magic happen in everyone's hands. He fools people into amazing themselves! Further, as you follow the radio transcripts in these pages, he will fool you, too. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo open this book and join the amazed. Then share the amazement and fun with your audiences, whether they are listening to the radio, watching television or in the room with you. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollow along as Juan Tamariz tells you to take a few red and black cards from a deck and mix the colors in ways random, chaotic and independently determined. Yet, when you are finished, the colors magically separate! That's right, you perform Oil and Water for yourself and have \u003ci\u003eno idea how it happened\u003c\/i\u003e - just as thousands of people have done while listening to Juan Tamariz over the radio, on television and in live audiences. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeople freely choose a card, lose it in a packet, mix the cards thoroughly, and then magically discover their own selections-without knowing how they did it. The magic leaves Tamariz's hands and settles in their own! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book collects over forty such tricks and presentations, all refined and tested through professional performance. Close associate Gema Navarro, under the guidance of Juan Tamariz, has meticulously transcribed presentations from tapes of numerous radio broadcasts. The transcripts are so detailed, they first let the reader fool himself, and then give him the information necessary to entertain and astonish his audiences, and the tools to devise many other effects that happen entirely in their hands and heads. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScattered in the literature of magic is a scant number of participation effects suitable for performance on radio and television; and those tricks are sought and coveted by professionals. In \u003ci\u003eVerbal Magic\u003c\/i\u003e Juan Tamariz reveals the largest body of such magic ever offered, while taking it in new directions and teaching new principles with wide-reaching possibilities for further application. He also shows that this type of magic is just as astonishing when performed close up and for theater audiences. As a final bonus, \u003ci\u003eVerbal Magic\u003c\/i\u003e provides the largest record yet, for non-Spanish speakers, of what it is like to be part of Tamariz's audience.
