"Your life is like the real wizard of Oz, and you are a real
wizard. A book for fans, historians, mentalists and magicians. I
promise you will learn timeless lessons in life, magic, friendship, and
secrets. I loved it." -Marc Salem, Reviewer
Magicseen Publications is delighted to announce the publication
of the first volume of a trilogy of books featuring the amazing
mentalism and magic of internationally renowned performer Devin Knight.
Volume
1, which between its softback covers has 130 photo illustrated pages,
features full details of 9 routines from Devin's personal repertoire
(see details below). Devin's ideas are always unbelievably well thought
out, with every possibility analyzed and the best and most convincing
methods selected. He leaves nothing to chance, and creates plots that
are amazingly varied, and which produce effects that are inexplicable
and real reputation makers. This trilogy will offer you the strongest
mentalism and magic achieved with practical, commercial methods. If you
haven't seen this material before, you are going to be stunned! Here are
the contents of Volume 1.
Improved Tri-Epic Deluxe -
This is a clever three or even four-way newspaper prediction effect
reminiscent of David Copperfield's Graffiti Wall, but more portable and
totally suitable for a one-man act.
Psychic Money Sense -
Designed for an intimate close-up show, this experiment apparently
shows that a spectator has an excellent psychic sense. He achieves an
impossible outcome using three pay envelopes and some ordinary coins.
First Date Revelation
- Romantic mentalism! The performer correctly divines the name of a
spectator's first date, and even manages to locate which one of six
billets has the person's name written on it.
Puzzle Mania
- A brilliant routine that is perfect for children's shows. Both the
magician, and then the birthday child, manage to correctly guess which
pieces have been removed from a completed tray puzzle.
Far Sight
- A total reputation-making fooler. Ten cards are dealt face up on a
table and the mentalist, standing on the far side of the room and with
his back turned, correctly reveals the name of a card genuinely freely
selected by a spectator. Brilliant, unfathomable method.
Aqua Coin Flight
- A practical parlor routine. Three different-value marked coins are
dropped by a spectator into a tall, thin glass of water -- one is then
selected. Without sleights or difficult moves, the coin vanishes from
the glass and ends up inside a sealed envelope.
Tarot Sight
- As near to real mind reading as you can get! Five cards are dealt out
face up from a shuffled tarot pack. Four helpers each simply think of
any of the cards, and the performer manages to correctly identify which
card each spectator is thinking about.
Test Conditions Ring Penetration
- Not everything Devin does has a mentalism flavor, and here he
explains a deviously clever way to get a borrowed ring tied onto a
length of rope that is already tied to both of the performer's wrists.
Blindsight DIY
- A major feature routine in which the performer manages to apparently
prove that a spectator may have 'blindsight' - in other words, that he
can successfully identify colors that he can't even see. Brilliant
method concept that is straightforward to do.
