ESCAPE by SID FLEISCHMAN
THE STORY OF THE GREAT HOUDINI
Who was this man who could walk through brick walls and, with a snap of his fingers, vanish elephants? In these pages you will meet the astonishing Houdini—magician, ghost chaser, daredevil, pioneer aviator, and king of escape artists. No jail cell or straitjacket could hold him! He shucked off handcuffs as easily as gloves.
In this fresh, witty biography of the most famous bamboozler since Merlin, Sid Fleischman, a former professional magician, enriches his warm homage with insider information and unmaskings. Did Houdini really pick the jailhouse lock to let a fellow circus performer escape? Were his secrets really buried with him? Was he a bum magician, as some rivals claimed? How did he manage to be born in two cities, in two countries, on two continents at the same instant?
Here are the stories of how a knockabout kid named Ehrich Weiss, the son of an impoverished rabbi, presto-changoed himself into the legendary Harry Houdini. Here, too, are rare photographs never before seen by the general reader!

ACT OF IMAGINATION by ENRIQUE ENRIQUEZ AND KENTON KNEPPER
"This Material Is So Fantastic - I Bought The Rights To It!
Only once before have I paid to write and publish someone else's ideas. The first time was some unknown performer at the time named 'Luke Jermay' and the book was the now-classic '7 Deceptions'.
This is only the second time I bought the rights to the material of someone else. That ought to tell you a great deal." - Kenton Knepper
This is the inside, practical, real work of "Kentonism" and "Telepathy In Action" taken to new heights and performed with greater ease and comfort than ever before. If you like "Kentonism" or "Telepathy In Action", this is a MUST HAVE book.
What is the Act of Imagination?
Psst! It's EASY. But it will take practice.
We know that once people read this work, the buzz will be all over the place, just as it was with 7 Deceptions. This book will change how we do Kentonism, TIA and hypnosis on stage forever.
It isn't easy to impress Kenton, and nearly impossible to get him to buy the rights to anyone else's work. Learn why Kenton spent a great deal of time and money to get this material into print. If he believes this much in the material, you can imagine how thrilled you are going to be!
Enrique Enriquez is a student of Kenton Knepper and has performed the world over with the material in this book. Now it can be yours

The Coral Fang is Luke Jermay's third collection of material to be published. This manuscript does not concentrate as heavily on the use of suggestion in mentalism as his previous works and featured within these pages are several sure-fire effects as well as a few new twists using suggestion techniques and genuine psychological methodology.
The book features the following effects
Touching on Hoy: Which is in my opinion the best thing I (Luke Jermay) have ever come up with. Simple, direct and strong. Three people think of different things. You then reveal what each person is thinking of. No pre show work, no props, no stooges, no kidding!
The Dangerous Opener: The performer influences a spectator to select the safe bag for him to crush. He slams his hand down on the selected bag revealing under the bag left, an upturned razor sharp knife. A 100% safe version of the modern day classic. No pre show work, no danger, no stooging.
Pre - Show Scripting: A powerful model to be used for pre show work. It allows the performer to reveal much more during performance with no extra effort.
The Psychic VS Psychological Performance: An essay that features a model of scripting to allow the performer to involve all types of audiences in his performances. This scripting allows the performer to appeal to both the skeptical members of the audience and the true believes without offending either party. It also means the mentalist has the potential to work within both market places.
Blowing Bubbles: The performer reads the mind of a spectator who is visibly seen to react the moment the thought leaves their mind. They also confirm the fact that they felt you reach into their mind and remove that very thought.
Phone Prediction: A novel and entertaining prediction effect with a very different climax. We will let you discover this one for yourself!
PK Lip Stick: A stunning twist on the modern day classic. Bridging the world of the unreal and the magickal.
Blindfold Sequence: A member of your audience is blindfolded while another focuses on a number they think of. Amazingly and with no pre show work or stooging the blindfolded spectator accurately reveals the number focused upon. This could be used as much more than numbers.
