No need for clucking to snag this treasure trove of mentalism effects. Michael Breggar steps away from his monthly \"Auto-Magic\" column in \u003ci\u003eThe Linking Ring\u003c\/i\u003e to deliver a collection of mentalism routines that your audience will recall long after you’ve dragged them back from their hypnotic stupor. Or, in Michael's case, long after he’s pulled them back. You’ll be the brainiac of the soirée when you showcase these effects! So, unlock both hemispheres, ditch the puns, and let’s dive in headfirst! We’ll rendezvous at the (brain)stem! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMarc DeSouza\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e writes (from the Foreword) ... \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"Michael Breggar has made it his mission to craft entertaining presentations for a selection of fantastic mental effects. He aims to conjure simple, entertaining mental miracles that are sleight-free, allowing you to focus on delighting your audience... And I mean letting them revel in a fun yet potent magical experience. Not only are the concepts interesting and humorous, but they incorporate a variety of props, like dice, fortune cookies, and Legos, guaranteed to keep even the most jaded spectators fully engaged. \u003cbr\u003e\"By opting for the 'no sleight' approach, most effects lean into process-heavy territory. Michael has ingeniously crafted premises and presentations that transform what is often a slog into an exhilarating ride. Dare to escape the mundane world of dreary mentalism. Have your participants embark on a psychic adventure in a hospital nursery, concoct some delightfully twisted fortune cookies, pretend it’s Oscar night and have your audience select some winners, engage in poker with a Martian, and even witness a fistfight between Martin Gardner and Dai Vernon! \u003cbr\u003e\"I'm genuinely thrilled by this book. Not just the methods, but the plethora of fresh themes. Mentalists often find themselves recycling effects, but Michael has delved deep, and I can’t wait to take some of these on stage. Oh, and for those who care, there are numerous new methods. Michael knows his stuff. Confident, sincere, original. I love it.\"\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Marc Salem\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"If you read \u003ci\u003eThe Linking Ring\u003c\/i\u003e, you will definitely recognize Michael Breggar from his 'Auto-Magic' columns. Michael is an incredibly knowledgeable performer across many facets of magic! When he sent me \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eInfluence-Enza\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e, he dubbed it 'comedy mentalism.' How misleading! Sure, his patter is amusing and some premises are a tad wild (a fistfight between Martin Gardner and Dai Vernon!), but the mentalism is utterly serious! Honestly, this is some of the cleverest material I’ve encountered recently. The humorous setups often pave the way for an even more effective punchline at the climax! Even if your style leans more straightforward, this material brims with ideas you can repurpose, and the book is packed with one-liners that can land well in any performance. \u003cbr\u003e\"The routines span everything from cards and dice to fortune cookies, Legos, and beyond! They all draw from classic concepts, but here’s the kicker: they don’t require any fancy sleights or moves! Like his columns in \u003ci\u003eThe Linking Ring\u003c\/i\u003e, he achieves powerful results through subtleties and masterful routining. (The thought process reminds me a lot of the brilliant 'Scarne on Card Tricks.') And those results are worth pursuing! One moment the audience is doubled over with laughter, and the next, they’re left speechless! \u003cbr\u003e\"Bottom line: don’t dismiss this as mere silly mentalism 'gags.' Nothing could be further from the truth. This is solid material designed for real people looking to have a blast while still getting their socks knocked off!\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Richard Osterlind\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Knowing of Michael's knack for emphasizing presentation, \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eInfluence-Enza\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e will certainly be a welcome addition to any magician's library.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Don Wiberg\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"An impressive accomplishment! The effects are varied, imaginative, ingenious, and meticulously crafted. I particularly appreciate that you’ve included some multi-phase routines. We don’t see enough of those these days. Overall, you’ve outdone yourself, sir. Bravo!\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Michel Potts\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Michael strips away the fluff, discards complex sleights, and hones in on the effect and its impact on the spectator. What a concept! As a fan of Mike's work, I was initially annoyed to find he’d already produced a follow-up to his last, \u003ci\u003eDancing with the Cards\u003c\/i\u003e. How can one guy generate so much quality content in such a short span? Creative genius? Or perhaps he took a stroll down the crossroads one misty midnight... His creations are solid, the instructions are crystal clear, and the prose is as entertaining as it is informative...\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Anthony Vinson \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNOW! Cluck like a chicken and take a peek inside: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eInfluence-Enza\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - A Nick Trost effect takes a few hairpin turns with your audience under your influence! From a shuffled deck of cards, two spectators create three piles of face-down cards in front of signs marked 1, 2, and 3. A third spectator removes a card sight unseen from the remaining deck and seals it away in an envelope, safe from sleight of hand. Free choice? Not quite. You’ve influenced the spectators so that the number of red and black cards in each pile matches exactly what’s written on each sign! And little sign #3 also reveals the name of the card sealed in the envelope! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Day at the Hospital\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Using the principles outlined in \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eInfluence-Enza\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e, your three spectators sort boy and girl babies into three separate nurseries. You’ve also influenced the selection of the name for the hospital administrator's new baby! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eIf It's Good Enough for Bill Murray\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e - An \u003ci\u003eentertaining\u003c\/i\u003e and highly effective three-phase routine with ESP cards! This is definitely not your standard Ghostbusters matching card routine! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eDrawing on Emotions (ReDOnE)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e - Michael revisits one of his most buzzed-about effects from his book, \u003ci\u003eThe Five Roads to Vegas\u003c\/i\u003e. It’s restructured for versatility across all venues. A drawing duplication without an actual drawing? It feels like genuine mind-reading. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnother Day in Para-Dice\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e - Revised from the \"Auto-Magic\" column, you divine the total of three dice rolled. Twice. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eGardner and Berg Walk into a Bar and Get into a Fight with Vernon and Don Alan\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e - What begins as an incredible \"Do-as-I-Do\" effect culminates in two jaw-dropping finales. An impossible centerpiece effect. Unless, of course, you possess psychic abilities! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward Season\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e - A jaunt to Hollywood where you, the enigmatic mind-reader, deduce the Academy Award-winning movie merely thought of by a bewildered spectator. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eNever Play Poker with a Martian\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e - You reveal that Martians excel at poker because they supernaturally influence which cards are dealt to, and played by, the other players. You demonstrate this by Martianally influencing your helper to deal a royal flush under impossible—and hilariously absurd—conditions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eUnfortunate Cookie\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e - An updated version of one of the most beloved effects from Michael's \u003ci\u003eThe Linking Ring\u003c\/i\u003e column. Your assistant is handed 25 fortune cookie fortunes, all rather dark and macabre, except for the one they select purely by chance. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe ACAAN Deck\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e - Yep. The real deal. The spectator names a card and then a number. They deal down to that number from a deck untouched by you. And there’s their card. Works cleanly 80% of the time. Built-in outs take care of the remaining 20%. You’ll craft this gaffed deck once, but it’ll serve you forever. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eCounter Fits\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e - Your volunteer gains the psychic ability to distinguish real from counterfeit money. They get to keep the bills they identify, so they’d better be right! Did I mention the bills are sealed in opaque envelopes? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e(L)Ego Trip\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e - An unbelievable closer. Your helper merely thinks of a common Lego object (like a simple car, airplane, house, cat, etc.), and you assemble it without even glancing at the Lego blocks! And the kicker? It’s nothing short of impossible! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat are you waiting for?
