Description

Listed the “Susceptible” effect found in this book as one of my favorite mentalism effects in a forum post, so I figured I’d make the book available to everyone hereA book filled with magic that will give your audience, well, the shivers!Contents include:Making Contact – Harnessing the power of touchSusceptible – The spectators eyes are covered with your fingertips. Despite them being able to feel your fingers, they feel touches on the back of their neck and head.Relax – A spectator sits down and closes her eyes while you are watched by a group of other spectators. You stand well away from the spectator on the chair and ask the spectator to remain quiet. In a moment you will ask them a very important question. Silently stroke your shoulder a few times. Then, ask the spectator if she felt anything. She says that she felt you stroke her shoulder, despite your being nowhere near her.Distant Touch – Standing well away from the spectator, you gesture towards them and they feel you touch them.Focus – The spectator feels something pushing them from behind, despite your hands being in full view.Connected – An ‘experiment’ in paranormal communication that takes an unplanned turn. A lighthearted attempt at making contact with the spirits goes off on a diagonal as things leave your control.The Crying Child – A disturbing performance, centered around the spirit of a young girl.Visual occurrences – not effects on their own, but ideas to weave into existing routines.Burn On – A dead match lights just by your will.Ghost Glass – A borrowed finger ring is placed inside a small glass as an impromptu spirit bell. At any time the ring is seen to move and shake inside.Unaware – Events occurring that you are not aware of. The power of ignorance.If you like this kind of magic, you will like Shivers!
