A Professional Routine for Advanced Thinkers. In the past, great mind readers such as Charles Foster, Bert Reese, Al Baker and Ted Annemann, have used nothing more than three pieces of paper and three envelopes to make headlines and create awe in their audiences. Now, you will be able to do more than just apparently reading minds: you will seem to actually control them.
An audience member is told to think of three pieces of information that could not possibly be known by anyone present. He writes them on three separate slips of paper, folds them and seals each inn it own envelope. The envelopes are hidden in different locations on the subject's body, such as in his pocket, his wallet or even the tip of his shoe! The stunning fact is, at this point you already know what's written on every slip - and where the envelopes are hidden!
The are no impressions or gimmicks of any kind. There are no one-ahead moves or dummy billets. Just three slips of paper and three unprepared envelopes. Everything can be borrowed. The spectator seals the envelopes himself. and can even check to make certain the slips are untouched before he seals them. But getting the information is only half of this remarkable routine. The presentation brings this effect into stardom. The spectator now assumes the role of a captured spy and you his interrogator. By using a psychological technique you break the subject down until he can't speak! Amid the laughs of the audience, you reveal where the envelope with the information is hidden and what that piece of information is.
Next, you use your strange metal powers to psychically electrocute the subject with 10,000 volts! you never touch the subject and he's not harmed in any way, but by a mere glance the subject is thrown from his seat. again the audience is racked with laughter and you reveal the second piece of information as well as where it's hidden. Finally. by pure mind reading. you expose every thought the subject has left. This is a quality act that has kept audiences amazed and amused for years. But there's more!
Special Bonus Routine
Using the same method as in the above routine. you're able to control the thoughts of three people on stage.
People from the audience think of different things three volunteers could do on stage. This suggested tests are written on slips and sealed, by the audience in three envelopes.
The three volunteers concentrate and are able to perform the acts written on the papers! One person may he running in circles squawking like a chicken, another may he skipping through the audience. And the last volunteer may be singing an aria like a famous tenor!
Whatever the audience thinks, the volunteers do! Its an amazing act that few if any other mentalists are doing You can earn a reputation with some borrowed paper and envelopes when you know this secret. Everything is explained and fully illustrated - nothing is left out. YOU CAN DO IT!

BY DARKNESS INFLUENCED by KOTAH & DAYTON
A unique and varied collection of magic, this 121-page book is best described by the following excerpt from the book's Foreword...
Though oceans of material flood from Mr. Dayton's prolific mind, the magical ideas he puts forth are always sound in method and straightforward in application.
With his combination of historical knowledge, concentrated ability to work out magical gimmicks, and a focused creativity which allows wonderful stories to unfold magically, one encounters a rare commodity in the Magical World indeed: A "thinking-magician's magician."
You're holding in your hands a thoughtful volume of some of Ron's (and Kotah's) most prized work.
In this book you'll find a range of magic you can actually perform... close-up, cabaret, parlor, even on stage. You'll find concepts and ideas that will inspire you and transport your imagination to new places.
You'll discover that the magic genre known as "Bizarre Magic" is not just for a chosen or peculiar few, but consists of emotionally satisfying stores, presentations, and magic... each and every magician can incorporate into his repertoire to refresh his show and elevate his art.
Like any raging fire, Ron thrives on fuel... and that fuel is often in the comments and feedback he receives from other performers, so if anything... or everything... if this volume moves you, excites you, or motivates you to change and improve the way you do your Magic, write him and let him know. Dear Reader, the future of Magic is yours, and the Art is within your own hands!

WORKERS EBOOK by MICHAEL CLOSE
Michael Close's Workers series contains some of the most commercial, entertaining, and powerful magic ever published - repertoire that spans almost 30 years of professional performing in real-world conditions. Michael has held nothing back. You'll learn the how and the why behind every routine.
"This is a complete revitalization of the Workers books, including an improved and expanded layout, corrected text, larger illustrations, and extensive annotations that cover insights and innovations that have been discovered since the books were first published. This is the Workers series the way I wish it could have looked when I first brought them out." - Michael Close
This new Ebook contains updated comments, bonus material, and a new and improved layout and two bonus tricks. More than 650 pages!
Here are some comments about the Workers Ebook.
"I've seen Michael do this stuff for real audiences, so I know these routines truly are workers: Effective, commercial and smart." - Max Maven
"These are books I turn to again and again. I can't imagine any serious close-up library that is without its Workers." - Gordon Bean
"Rarely, but every once and a while, you start reading a book and suddenly it makes you realize how shallow everything else you've been reading is. Among those rare enlightenments is Michael Close's Workers series. Even if you never perform a single one of these routines just reading them will give countless insights into making your magic better." - Stephen Minch
"Michael Close's Workers series has it all: deceptive tricks, strong technique, audience-tested material, sound psychology and theory, structured routines, practical tips and touches, original commercial presentations - and more. It's like taking private lessons from a master. Workers is a must-have for any thoughtful magic library." - Simon Aronson
"I have long and impatiently awaited a single volume Workers collection, and I have said many times that had these works first been released as a single book they would have been instantly hailed as one of the two or three most important texts of the decade, right along side Tommy Wonder's The Books of Wonder. I love the Workers series, and I can't wait to read them again." - Jamy Ian Swiss
