The Meridian Technique

Mark Elsdon – The Meridian Technique

How many times have you done a strolling gig, cocktail party or residency and performed for group after group, packed up, and left with no bang, no "wow", no feeling that you just killed them? Sure, everyone was impressed, but it just didn’t seem to add up to much...

In The Meridian Technique Mark will teach you his technique to create a lasting impression that will keep them talking about you and your magic for years after you walk out the door.  It will have the people that pay you at the end of the gig knowing you rocked the house and want you back. It will have you leaving each gig feeling fantastic, knowing that you made the impression that you are one of the best magicians in the world.  Plus as well as explaining in detail the technique and the psychology behind it, Mark describes ten powerful tricks and exactly how he usess them.

Just some of the things The Meridian Technique will do for you:

·        Maximise your impact.

·        Elevate you above your competitors.

·        Ensure that the magic you perform makes everyone feel included.

·        Guarantee that the person paying you knows they got their money's worth and wants to have you back. 

As an example of how the Technique is used, imagine at a strolling gig you have every member of every group you work for examine and sign a borrowed coin and a borrowed bottle. You explain upfront exactly what you are going to do with that coin. Everyone sticks around to see if you can actually do it and sure enough at the end of the gig a crowd has gathered to watch you take the coin and bottle that have been carefully examined and signed and magically put the coin in the bottle.  The place goes wild, the booker feels good about his smart decision to hire you, and you, the performer, finish on a high – with a BANG rather than a whimper. This takes the classic coin in bottle to a whole new miracle level. 

All ten of the effects featured in the booklet are designed to ‘play-big’ and have you concluding your performance to a group of people rather than just a few. The cumulative effect of ending your gig with a final, larger trick expands the impact of your performance exponentially and reaps personal, performance and financial rewards.

“The technique will change the way an audience perceives you as a magician. Whether you are an experienced close-up performer or just starting your career, the Meridian Technique is a must-read!” Peter Duffie (MAGIC magazine, June 2009)

HIDDEN GEMS - Stand-Up Edition

 

HIDDEN GEMS – Stand-Up Edition
Brilliant buried magic and mentalism researched by yours truly.

One of the questions I get asked all the time is, "Where can I find great stand-up material?" There seem to be the three or four well-known books that everyone turns to, and beyond that very few options.

 

Not anymore! 

 

Hidden Gems - Stand-Up contains over one hundred and ninety entries from my secret notebooks, listing marvelous magic and mentalism tricks and routines from a wide variety of books and magazines. Most of this incredible collection of recommendations has previously been spread across the multiple volumes of the acclaimed Hidden Gems series; now for the first time ALL the stand-up material is collected in one place.

This new Edition uncovers fantastic material from Hart, Smith, Regal, Richardson, Maue, Graham, Dyne, Minch, Bloom, Acer, Steinmeyer, McLeod, Creasey, Jermay, Hilford, Anderson, Stone, Goldstein, Earle and dozens of others. 

Plus - a selection of brand new entries.

I also tip my THREE favourite stand-up tricks ever, multiple practical, killer tricks perfect for stand-up AND stage shows that you have never seen before, FIVE fantastic tricks that use no props whatsoever, the best Magic Square presentation, and the best demonstration of astral projection ever released (which nobody is doing and you'll use forever!)

 

These are tricks that define the very concept of 'hidden in print'. In each entry I list the trick, where you can find it, why I love it and why YOU should look it up. I always describe the effect, occasionally the presentation, but NEVER the method.

Most are in books that you already own (or should!), some are in magazines that you can easily get access to, whilst the odd one or two entries will send you on a major SHM/MagicWeek/eBay hunt. Happy days!

If you are on the lookout for ELITE MATERIAL that no one else is doing (and who isn't?!) then you will find a ton of it in here.


Appreciation for Hidden Gems:

“I confess that I would prefer to NOT recommend this eBook, purely for selfish reasons. It’s a treasure chest that will unlock your library and send you racing to fill in any gaps. And I just had to buy a book I didn’t have. This eBook is going to cost me a ****ing fortune!” 

- R. Paul Wilson

"Mark has curated a spectacular collection! I am like a kid in a candy store with so many effects and routines I haven't even heard of before. The knowledge and insight that has gone into Hidden Gems is incredible.” 

- Bro Gilbert

“In magic part of our daily ritual is to look for the hidden gems, the real treasures, the real magic. Mark Elsdon is one of the best read 'treasure' hunters I know of. When he points out a vein of treasure I explore. In this book Mark doesn’t teach tricks he’s created. Instead he points out sources and effects that you should explore. He’s got great taste in material, meaning you will skip a lot of fodder and simply find some uncovered miracles. If you love finding great magic this book will be a treasure map you will delight in.” 

- Tim Trono 

“Let’s face it; we all know that some of the best stuff is hiding in plain sight. We have all missed a beauty that was staring us right in the face. Well...imagine a book that does the incredible job of giving the savvy magician a second look at that killer material. Mark’s Hidden Gems does exactly that! A collection of high-impact magic, cherry picked to only give you the best of the best. Polish up these Hidden Gems. They are a true treasure. And so is Mark’s eBook.”
