Matchalot Mentalism By Howard Adams

Over 250 simple self working items, usually that involve matching, predictions or the like. His items use small packs of cards, coins, or numbers. Many can be adapted to ESP or picture cards- or many other themes.

The Professor’s Nightmare The Awakening! Everyone knows it and does it, and audiences STILL love it. One of the biggest challenges is finding a presentation that is both unique and interesting, particularly when you know of other performer’s in your market using the same old patter.

Enter Ron Dayton and “Professor’s Nightmare- The Awakening” Written By Ron Dayton, aka KOTAH with a Foreword by Ed Solomon. This book offers 20 new routines for the tried and tested Professor’s Nightmare.

Well, over 30 years ago, Howard's lecture series features a self published set of manuscripts entitled OICUFESP.  10 volumes or chapters, if you will- each with 20 or so pages.

During our deal with Howard to publish his new works, we also were pleased to secure the re-print rights to these long out of print manuscripts. So, here, in a single over 200 page volume, we offer you access to these historic routines.  Mentalism, psychic entertainment and mental magic- these routines are clever and thought provoking and all have the same criteria- they are FREE of all sleights! 

This is the companion collection to Howard Adams' OICUFESP.   Years ago, Howard published a series of self working mentalism effects in the form of 12 monographs, each filled with a dozen or so effects.  Long out of print and unavailable, fans of Howard's work will be delighted with this book.  All 12 chapters, reproduced and bound in one volume.

Mentalism, psychic entertainment and mental magic- these routines are clever and thought provoking and all have the same criteria- they are FREE of all sleights! 

That's MINDESPA!

Dayton Wallet Workshop! By Ron Dayton

Do-it-yourself magical loading wallet plus two KILLER routines.  An inexpensive monograph that teaches you to make the wallet for yourself. You can make as many as you wish for your own use!

So, ya wanna be a busker???  This is THE handbook for those ready to build a tip and pass the hat!  Advice for working the street, and for working LIFE!  

If you consider yourself a magician, then you’re an artist and you belong to a tradition (Whether you like it of not.) with expectations from your peers and the laity. This form of art can only function gracefully if the operator works with perfection in his mind, otherwise it appears clumsy and transparent to the spectator.

In this book, Howard has created 66 self working packet effects using 6 cards each. (thus the title, get it, 666 Mentalism?) Each effect is explained in Howard’s straight forward, no-nonsense and to the point fashion and we have left them as he wrote them word for word. You can read a sample here.

Howard Adams has been around for a LONG time, and his specialty is self working and mathematical magic and mentalism effects. I have no idea how his mind can generate these kinds of effect with this much variety, but create he does.

Tractare A new book of close-up theatre from R. Shane, Author of Pentalogy and Automata.  This book is a MASTER CLASS in taking several germs of ideas and combining them. Not only do you get multiple full close-up routines which require NO complicated sleights, but you will learn where they came from, and how Shane constructed each routine. One entire section is like a master class in Cups and Balls (Or containers and things)  and ALL of it features Shane's unique narrative tone of voice!

Cipher Speak By R. T. Stark.  Long kept hidden and secretive, and later released as an extra bonus to those who purchased out STark Grimoire, now released in print and E format.  This two person code system blazes new trails in that it uses SOUNDS not words to code information in a two person telepathy act. This allows the performer to use ANY WORDS they choose in keeping with the phonic system, and to CHANGE those words each time they speak.  The code is practically impossible to detect.

Frozen!  By Nefesch.  Imagine, you borrow a coin and have it signed.  You drop it in your hand, and then start to blow at your cupped fist.

Nefesch offers several methods in this monograph.
