Lucky for us he shares his insights in this important book. Justification is an extremely useful tool in the creation of believable miracles and AM has crafted some really excellent ideas. There are loads of books about HOW to do what we do but very rare are the books that discuss WHY we do it! This is one of the rare ones and may even change how you think about mentalism.\" \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003cb\u003eMarc Paul\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWinner of BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD FOR 2022, Magic Cafe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMENTALISM PRESENTATION by AM \u0026amp; LUCA VOLPE PRODUCTIONS \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLet’s be honest: when it comes to mentalism, we often forget the power of our words (not that we’re all just mouthpieces, but you know what I mean). This book is like a roadmap through the often neglected territory of presentations and justifications. AM has stuffed it full of scripts that’ll help you explain your wizardry to your audience with a bit more finesse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere’s what you’ll find answers to:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWHY should the spectator write down their thought?\u003cbr\u003eWHY do we touch the billet?\u003cbr\u003eWHY do we need to tear the billet for a centre tear?\u003cbr\u003eWHY do we put the billet inside our peek wallet?\u003cbr\u003eWHY do we go back to the wallet?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd that’s just the tip of the iceberg! AM takes classic methods like acidus novus, billet switches, and the Nail writer, and spices them up with presentations that make the effects not just good, but downright entertaining. Who doesn’t want to keep their audience on the edge of their seats?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the card aficionados among you, there are scripts and ideas that pack a punch without requiring sleight of hand (that’s right, less fumbling). Plus, there's a section dedicated to audience engagement, because let’s face it, a bored audience is a magician’s worst nightmare. Get ready to keep them hooked!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd as if that wasn’t enough, there are bonus presentational ideas for effects like Double Cross, Invisible Touch, Svengali Pads, PIN reveals, and even a nifty bonus for iPhone users. Yes, you heard that right: clean, direct effects like book tests and thought-of card revelations, all without needing a magic app (because who has time for that?).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSOME OF THE TOPICS INCLUDE:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrite it down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBillets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBillet Switches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentre Tear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Swami\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeek Wallets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlaying Cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudience Engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdditional Presentational Ideas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBonus: Failsafe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eAll the material in this book is ready to roll for any performer.
