POSSIBLY THE MOST AMAZING "THINK OF A CARD" METHOD IN YEARS!
You'll use this for the rest of your life. No props, just what appears to be pure mind-reading! A stunningly produced book with 3 full routines and amazing bonus contributions!
So, what is SILENT RUNNING?
Briefly, it's a "Think Of A Card" concept that requires no props at all. You don't even need a deck of cards. A spectator is asked to merely THINK of a number from 1-10 and to NOT TELL YOU. Once she has done this, she is asked to think of a suit and again to NOT TELL YOU. Then, ENTIRELY IN HER MIND she adds the suit to the number to create a visual image of a playing card. Again, SHE SAYS NOTHING! Once she has confirmed that she is thinking of a card that NO ONE CAN KNOW, you then proceed to reveal the card in any number of ways. THREE ROUTINES ARE INCLUDED:
DIRECT MIND READ
THE DISSOLVING CARD
You discuss cold war exepriments in which psychics were tested to see if they could make enemy maps become blank and useless. The spectator is handed a deck of cards BEFORE YOU BEGIN. She is NOW asked to think of a card WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING. When she has confirmed that she has a card in her mind, you ask her to imagine it "fading way" slowly. When she confirms that her mental image is gone, she is asked to take the deck and to remove her thought-of card. She attempts to do this, and counts the cards. However,there are ONLY 51 cards and her though-of card IS NOT THERE! The amazing thing about this is that she NEVER REVEALS THE IDENTITY OF HER CARD AT ANY TIME!
SPIRITED CARD STAB
This is my favourite handling and what I'm using to CLOSE my professional shows. A deck is shuffled face up and face down by a spectator, spread upon the table and covered with a sheet of newspaper. A knife is introduced and the spectator is asked to THINK OF A CARD. Once she has done this, she is asked to imagine the spirit of the card flowing down her arms, through her wrists, into her hands and finally into the knife. AT NO TIME DOES SHE REVEAL HER THOUGHT OF CARD. The performer now takes the knife and lunges it through the newspaper. It stands proud for all to see. Now, for the FIRST TIME, the spectator announces her thought-of card to the audience. The knife is ripped from the newspaper and is seen to be IMPALING THE VERY SAME CARD. There are no switches, the thought-of card is genuinely stabbed, each time.
PLEASE NOTE:
Nothing is EVER written down -- this is strictly a verbal procedure
There is NO dual reality. The spectator and audience of ANY SIZE experience the same effect
There are NO GIMMICKS used at all, no nail writers, electronics -- NOTHING
No muscle-reading is used. The effect is EASILY learned
Perform for a single spectator or a thousand
TO BE PUBLISHED MARCH 30, 2010 this incredible concept will be presented as a beautifully produced book of at least 52 pages. (It may be more because our peer reviewers are pretty darned excited and contributing ideas and routines. (Seriously, editor Steve Shufton telephioned to apologise for his delay in finishing the editing because he was so gob-smacked by the idea and was having so much fun performing it). There will be a bonus section which means the book could grow to 70 or so pages. It will be produced on the finest quality acid free paper, and professionally bound in a full color cover.
Two versions of the printed book will be available, the REGULAR EDITION ($39.95) will be available from all dealers during the first two weeks of April. A digital EBOOK ($39.95) will be vailable as of March 30 direct from this website and Lybrary.com
