Conversation As Mentalism 5

"This may well be the strongest CAM yet, and as you know I'm a big fan of the series!" - Tim Trono


Would you like to learn some brand new killer effects that you can perform anytime, anyplace and without any props?

Then you're in luck! Mark Elsdon’s new Conversation As Mentalism Volume 5 is just what you’re looking for.

Contents:
In The Stars – A recording that impossibly predicts EVERY choice a participant will make!
ACDC – The performer correctly identifies the exact date on a random coin that he never touches.
Three Objects One Brain – Three participants choose and hide three random objects whilst the performer’s back is turned. Nevertheless, he immediately knows everything!
No Weigh! – Under increasingly impossible conditions the performer is able to tell the 'weight' of a word.
Poetry In Motion – Several participants compose a Haiku. A Haiku that inexplicably already exists…
The Pen That Cannot Lie – The truth will out. A killer (and very easy!) two-person coding system.
Dreamachine – An incredible number revelation from the devious mind of Andrew Brown.
Oodles of Doodles – A simple yet powerful impromptu psychometry demonstration.
BPW – A random book, a random page, a random word. A not-at-all random revelation.

Nine brand new effects that have been designed with one outcome in mind – to amaze whoever you are talking to without the aid of any gadgets, gizmos or gimmicks.

Conversation As Mentalism 5 once again teaches pure, propless mentalism at its most organic.

Praise for the Conversation As Mentalism series:

“It is my firm belief that the title of these books should be changed to The Essential Handbooks of Impromptu Mentalism. The routines taught are all very simple, direct and deeply fooling. This material should be in the arsenal of every modern mentalist! I give it my highest recommendation.”
 - Michael Murray

“These are Mark's other great releases up there with the Meridian Technique. As well as the clever effects, and probably more importantly, you're going to learn an attitude which can be used to approach performing in all real world situations."
 - Colin McLeod

CAM 5 is available as both a printed booklet and an eBook*.

Easy Elsdon eBooks



                       

"If you haven't yet managed to get hold of these magnificent eBooks your certainly missing out! Mark has painstakingly put together a plethora of hugely usable and easy to learn material which I highly recommend... a compendium of magic to suit every performer!"
- Moz 'Mozique' Powrie

"I love getting Easy Elsdon in my email every month. There hasn't been a single issue where I haven't found at least one thing that I've started using immediately. That's an incredible hit rate. Keep it up mate!"
- Jerry O'Dowd  

Easy Elsdon is a new series of eBooks featuring material that is powerful enough to use at a gig, but VERY easy to learn. So easy, in fact, that you can learn it in the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee!

Each eBook contains six killer effects that will simply stun laymen. Tricks that you can learn in 5 minutes and perform immediately, yet are still strong enough for a working pro!

These tricks and methods were devised as a result of realising that a lot of casual (and some professional!) performers simply do not have the time to become serious students of magic, spend hundreds (thousands?) of hours practicing sleight-of-hand or collect a several-thousand-book library. Agree or disagree, this is just a fact of life...

So in assembling these eBooks, I created, adapted and simplified a ton of material that had to meet the two basic requirements mentioned above:

1.    Is this trick strong enough to use at a gig?

2.    Can someone learn it in just a few minutes?

The results can be read in this new Easy Elsdon series, of which the first eight eBooks are now available:

Mentalism 1, 2 & 3, Card Magic 1 & 2, Coin Magic 1 & 2 and Paper Magic.
They are currently only available directly from me. The price is £15 per eBook.

However the best and cheapest option is to subscribe for the year:

The price of these eBooks is be £15 each, meaning a total cost of £180 for the first year. However, you can to subscribe to the whole year’s worth of eBooks for just £99 - an almost 50% discount!

This means that each eBook will cost you just £8.25 instead of £15. You will also receive a Winter Bonus eBook that is only available to subscribers.

The Florence Mystery & The MSM Mystery


  


The Florence Mystery and the The Mont Saint Michel Mystery.

They both feature an incredible story, enchanting photographs and powerful, mystifying effects.

Each focuses on an entirely different Mystery, although both involve the same protagonist, so could be considered a one-two punch of history, surprise, legend and wonderment.

Your participant acts as tour guide to these two exotic locations and he makes all the decisions about where and when to travel to the places depicted in each photograph. Impossibly, he is able to use his intuition, reasoning and cunning to uncover a daring art heist in Florence and a vicious murder in Mont Saint Michel.

Using beautiful and tactile props, each Mystery combines the most engaging elements of a great story with the power of a deeply-fooling mentalism effect. This results in a truly incredible performance piece and anyone who sees it will not only be captivated by it's impossibility, they will also remember its impact and potency for a long time afterwards.

The stories behind each Mystery are not at all scary, but the repercussions of the participant's unique insights might well be another matter...


Each Mystery comes with lovely reproductions of vintage photographs, a specially-produced carrying pack (you can see both of these in the photos below) plus an additional vintage item not shown below. 


Whether you have previously enjoyed Endless Journey, Lost & Found and Peculiar Tales or this is your first foray into the world of Storytelling Mentalism, let me assure you that these ARE the Mysteries you're looking for!

Both are technically very easy to perform and whilst you will certainly need to familiarise yourself with the required 'handling', far more important is that you spend some time immersing yourself in the story, as well as learning something about several of the places depicted in the photos and the people involved. This will pay rich dividends during performance, as your attention to detail will provide the resonance that makes The Mystery sing! 

Each accompanying instruction manual contains: full handling details, the complete story, thoroughly-researched history and details about all the places in the photos, information about the people involved in each Mystery and guidelines on how to draw in your participant in order to leverage maximum response.

Presented properly, your participant will feel like he was actually there!

"Mark, as you know I own and love all of of your storytelling material, but The Mysteries is the one I perform the most. I can't imagine how much research you must have put into it. It's a bona fide classic." - Dr Alistair Hopkins
