Banachek Psychological Subtleties Vol. 3
- A continuation of one of the most influential book projects in modern mentalism
- Contributions from 27 of the brightest minds in mentalism
- Use the routines as presented, or adapt them to your style
The "Psychological Subtleties" series is considered by many to be the ultimate
mentalism toolbox. 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.
With this third book he continues to inspire readers by offering additional
fresh and creative ideas along with full routines from both himself and his
friends from around the globe. Psychological Subtleties 3 has dozens of
routines filled with layers of subtleties and psychological principles for
your mentalism/magic toolbox. These are just some of the topics covered across
fifteen chapters: Dealing with Difficult Spectators; Creating the Perfect
Situation; Verbal "dual reality;" One of Banachek's favorite ploys: the
Cheshire Cat Principle; how to use various psychological principles to force
playing cards; a number of calendar effects, including Kenton's Kalendar which
used to sell alone for 20.00; Subtle Psychokinesis; More of Banachek's
excellent work on telephone magic; Revisiting Banachek's "Reversal" principle;
Optical illusions as applied to psychic effects; Lottery and betting
predictions; Some of the bold subtleties used by Dunninger on stage and behind
the microphone; one of Banachek's most coveted methods for predicting the
headlines of the newspaper. Pages: 226 - Hardbound with Dust Jacket.
