DANCE OF SHIVA TRICK BOOKLET by DOCC TILFORD
Imagine this: you ask someone to think of a line from their favorite poem. Something you could not possibly know. They write the sentence across the center of their business card. They fold it and drop it on the table. You pick it up, tighten the creases, and place it in their palm. Actions that take less than five seconds. The folded card never leaves their view.
In that brief time, you have read the entire sentence right in front of the spectator! After revealing the secret information, the card can be opened, checked, and even shown to the spectator!
You don't have to tear up the paper in order to get the information like a Center Tear. You only use the single billet! There isn't any switching.
The Dance of Shiva, by Docc Hilford, delivers the information to you as fast as you can read it, but keeps it in view for as long as you need. No quick glances. The same billet is always in view. You use only your hands and the paper or card. You don't shield the card at any time. The Dance of Shiva can be used to answer questions, duplicate designs, in word tests with actual book pages, with playing cards, maps or about any creative mental effect where secret information is needed.
It doesn't seem possible, but The Dance of Shiva does exactly that. The Dance of Shiva has these important features:
No special props; you're always ready.
It can be done surrounded or standing.
There is no need for a dummy or duplicate billet.
No need to openly tear the billet apart to get the information as in the Center tear.
No tilting or squeezing of the billet - not a peek!
The folded billet never leaves the sight of the sitter.
The information is read in front of the sitter, not on your lap or behind something.
No windows cut in the card; it can be THEIR business card.
There is no switching.
The information is in front of you, so you do not have to read quickly.
You are absolutely clean before and after the effect.
It takes less than 5 seconds to reveal the writing.
The method can be repeated for the same audience!
The written information is in the center of the card as it logically should be.
When writing, the sitter has complete freedom to handle the card.
Unlike anything previously invented by anyone, REALLY!
Plus 16 additional original effects and handling tips.
Easy to do - but reserved for real professionals.

HERMIT OF DREAMS by DOCC HILFORD & KENTON KNEPPER
Know the Thoughts of Others! For years magicians have had requests from the audience to "read my mind" or "tell my fortune." Most magicians have little experience in personal reading techniques or have precious little time to learn about them. Additionally, there are hundreds of methods available: palm reading, Tarot cards, crystal gazing, etc. Where does one begin?
At last, here's an extremely simple method of ascertaining what is on the mind of any spectator, combined with a killer trick that's sure to leave them believing you are the master of all the elements! Here's the effect:
After you've been asked by a member of the audience to tell their fortune, you give them a special group of cards with issues written. Each issue is associated with a particular playing card. Written below the issue is also a remedy to the issue. The spectator secretly chooses a single issue card. From a borrowed deck, you have selected the only playing card that matches their selection!
If you could really read a person's thoughts, this is how it would look!
This is a detailed 15-page manuscript.

RICHEY TECHNIQUE REVEALED by DOCC HILFORD
The Masterpiece That Built An Empire. Reverend Dr. Patrick Richey built an empire with a single technique for answering his audience members' questions, whether in private readings for a single sitter or on stage for hundreds. Although his presentation was roughly copied, the secret method was kept from others until he revealed it to Docc Hilford before his death and now Docc is spilling all the beans!
With this ingenious technique the questions are never even written by the participants, but each is directly answered-you could even seal the answers in envelopes for the sitter to take home and read later, with specific names, dates and answers.
