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.

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\".

Rarely do you find a magician, particularly in the mentalism community, who does not use some idea, trick or routine that has been inspired by Banachek's magical philosophy, performances, or writings. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith this third book he continues to inspire readers with the \u003cb\u003e\"Psychological Subtleties\"\u003c\/b\u003e series by offering additional fresh and creative ideas along with full routines from both himself and his friends from around the globe. Here you will find routines from Paul Alberstat, Sean Waters, Robert Domenech, Leonardo Silverio, Colin McLeod, Andrew Gerard, Marc Spelmann, Peter Nardi, Don Marco, Craig Leonard, Peter Arcane, Brad Henderson, Mark Roberts, Leo Boudreau, Jonathan Grant, Tony Binarelli, Docc Hilford, Kenton Knepper, Michael Murray, Richard Busch, Bryan Quinn, Francis J. Menotti, Ravi, Raj Madhok, Greg Arce, David Penn, and Joseph Atmore. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePsychological Subtleties 3\u003c\/b\u003e has dozens of routines filled with layers of subtleties and psychological principles for your mentalism\/magic toolbox. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the Introduction to \u003cb\u003ePsychological Subtleties 3\u003c\/b\u003e, the living legend and international man of mystery, David Berglas talks about his relationship with Banachek and his respect for his skills. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter One - Subtle Dealing with Difficult Spectators: Have you ever had your performance disrupted by a cell phone? 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":48008936685805,"sku":"45129","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/7948\/9005\/files\/psycholog3-full_b7c0e255-a205-4a83-b18f-6894b2992f95.jpg?v=1777990450"},{"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?

You will no doubt find that Ascanio is very good at writing about what he knows, and knows very well what he is writing about. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePages\u003c\/i\u003e 132 - Hardbound w\/ Dust jacket\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Murphy's Magic Supplies, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48008966177005,"sku":"44322","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/7948\/9005\/files\/ascanio4-full_8cc58ad2-c779-4a73-9ff5-44f889f6ac78.jpg?v=1777990513"},{"product_id":"williamsonswonders","title":"Williamson's Wonders by Richard Kaufman and David Williamson - Book","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"mms_prod_desc\"\u003eAfter many requests, Kaufman and Company is reprinting one of its most famous books - \u003cb\u003eWilliamson's Wonders\u003c\/b\u003e.

Money never goes out of style. Imagine being able to increase a dollar's value a hundred-fold. In the 1970s, a handful of American magicians encountered an Eastern European circus performer named Vlado, who stunned them all by doing just that! Vlado never published his revolutionary bill change, but variations quickly spread throughout the world of magic. Today it is a close-up standard, known as the $100 Bill Switch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor three decades, magicians have been exploring new and different applications of this versatile technique. Changing $1 into $100 is only one of countless possibilities. The switch can be combined with items like the mis-made bill, used for transpositions, torn and restored routines, bill to impossible location effects, and much, much more. \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSWITCH\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e collects the best work on this subject from magicians around the world. In addition to a thorough description of the original handling, more than twenty variations are meticulously taught using hundreds of crystal-clear line drawings. Some variations use a thumbtip and others don't, some use fewer folds, and one uses no folds at all!
