Volume 2 - Mentalism for the Casual Performer - Part 2
Make the value of a spectator’s playing card slowly appear on your arm in
blood red . . . anywhere, anytime! Reveal a thought-of number from across the
distance separated by phone lines. Engage two people in a fun routine where the
performer predicts a page number and a word “seen” by a volunteer
on an invisible Palmtop computer. Become a human lie detector in a thrilling and
comical adventure. This DVD continues from Part 1 with close-up, stand-up and
stage mentalism and mental magic with additional routines including anywhere,
anytime effects plus staggering psychological ploys. Learn a multi-phase routine
weaving audience direction and sleight-of-hand into one smooth effect. Also, learn
the “inside” secrets of what Banachek considers one of the most powerful
tools in the mentalist’s arsenal … Pocket Writing. This DVD includes
Banachek’s discussion of his “Buried Alive” escape, his Bullet
Catch illusion now used by Penn & Teller, the difference between mentalism
and mental magic plus comical anecdotes about blindfold drives. You will also
see a television clip of Banachek’s “Buried Alive” escape hosted
by William Shatner and TV footage of one of Banachek’s early Blindfold Drives.
