TAYLOR MADE BOOK TEST by DAVID TAYLOR
Finally a book test by David Taylor that you can perform with almost ANY book from a thriving, up and coming mentalist! On this DVD David Taylor shares with you the inner workings of this fantastic piece of mentalism. David has honed the routine over many performances in his professional act and once you learn the principle you will be able to apply it to almost any book, in any language very easily. The one-time setup of the book is easy to do and will only take you around twenty minutes.
Effect #1 - The Taylor Made Book Test
Imagine a dictionary containing many thousands of words, with your head turned away from the, you riffle down the pages of the book and your spectator calls STOP at ANY point. With your head still turned your spectator notes the word at the top of their selected page. The book is now handed to the spectator to hold and now without ever touching the book again and with no fishing you divine their thought of word with 100% accuracy!
Remember - there is absolutely NO FORCE of neither the page nor the word! This word will be different every time and can be repeated instantly. Armed with this knowledge, you will be able to present a high impact, no-nonsense piece of mentalism that will blow your audiences away!
Effect #2 - Secret Santa
For the first time, David shares with you his fantastic Secret Santa routine! Imagine being able to have a spectator choose any item from a catalogue, a loved one's name and an amount of money to spend on that person and then one-by-one you can reveal EXACTLY each thing that they are thinking of! This effect can be performed in a multitude of situations and is a well-constructed, direct, multi-phased routine that you will love to perform and once again there is absolutely NO FORCE of item, name or value!
As a bonus, we have also included an explanation of "The Hoy Book Test" which is a totally impromptu, un-gaffed book test that is used by top mentalists all around the world!

HUNDRED DOLLAR MIRACLES by JAY SANKEY
This DVD is destined to become the "Bill Switch Bible." Jay Sankey has been creating original and exciting applications with Mike Kozlowski's bill switch for years, and now here in one amazing volume Jay includes all his classic bill switch effects along with many other routines he is revealing for the very first time!
A mind-blowing collection of 30 incredible magic and mentalist effects for close-up, stand-up, walk around and even stage performers including restorations, vanishes, appearances, transformations, divinations, penetrations, transportations and more! All using the bill switch!
Jay teaches the switch from three different camera angles so learning the technique has never been easier. Jay also goes into great detail on such important subjects as preparing the billets, practicing the switch and executing the switch in different performance settings.
Learn how to use the switch to bend spoons, color illustrations from a children's book, cause signatures to transpose, push words through the middle of a bill, create wrinkles in drawing of a pair of pants, tear and restore a borrowed and signed bill, move a hole into a bulls eye, bring an image in a photograph to life, cause an illustration of a flower to gain a scent, find three selected cards, and even burst the drawing of a balloon complete with sound effect!
Thirty Astounding Routines Including
"REALIZATION"
A thought-of card vanishes and reappears in the performer's pocket! Lethal combination of magic + mentalism!
"DEAD CENTER"
A punched hole in a BORROWED bill impossibly travels into the middle of a drawn bulls eye!
"STRANGE AND STRANGER"
A Sankey classic. The torn corner of a bill visually moves to the opposite corner and yet the torn piece STILL FITS! Definite mind-blower.
"MOVINK"
Hundreds of printed words on a piece of paper cut out from a real magazine mysteriously SHIFT 90-degrees and the "holy object" is even given away as a souvenir!
"DIGITAL"
The spectator randomly chooses a 4-digit number. The miracle worker introduces a slip of paper with dozens of digits printed on it. A moment later, all the digits VANISH...except for the 4-digits the spectator is merely thinking of. Jay regularly gets SCREAMS with this outrageous routine!
"FAN MAIL"
One of Jay's all-time favorite effects for bar and restaurant work. The spectator's own signature changes places with the performer's signature. And again, you end clean with a marvelous souvenir
"POP!"
Draw the shape of a blown-up balloon on a just-borrowed bill. Fold it up and everyone actually HEARS IT "pop!" Unfold the bill to show the deflated balloon! Surreal and heart-stopping!
"FACSIMILE"
A card is selected and returned to the pack. A bill is borrowed, examined and the performer suggests the bill "may be counterfeit." He even removes a sticker from his pocket featuring the word "COUNTERFEIT" and sticks it to the borrowed bill. The bill is folded and unfolded to reveal that the sticker now reads "ACE OF CLUBS" (the spectator's card!!) Everyone freaks out!! Super visual, wildly memorable.
Plus DOZENS more phenomenal effects!
"Thanks to Jay I now can finally perform this wonderful technique. And the routines on the DVD are the very best imaginable." - Jeff H.
"Obviously a lot of thought was put into this. Jay covers everything in remarkable detail. My two favorite handlings are 'Traveling Expenses' and 'Dye Job.' They are both perfect for my walkaround gigs AND my kid shows." - Peter D.
"As usual with Sankey's killer DVDs, I laughed a lot. Even though I knew the bill switch is an awesome sleight, I had no idea you could do so much with it. Four stars! Outstanding magic." - Rodney L.
"I can't get over Jay's creativity. Who else would be able to come up with so many strong mental effects using just the bill switch?" - Kyle G.
"I've been a fan for years, but this is the best DVD Jay has ever marketed. An insane amount of information, all of it professional quality. Thanks for sharing the real work." - Barry R.

There are countless wonderful routines with cups and balls. Max Malini, Al Baker, Sam Horowitz, Charlie Miller, Paul Rosini, Dai Vernon and many other capable performers featured the trick in their close-up performances.
It is a close-up trick! And, it can be performed with paper cups completely surrounded by spectators or with sterling silver cups in a more formal setting.
The difference between a good performer and an expert performer is the manner in which the expert handles the props, makes fake transfers of the balls and deceptively executes the final large loads.
This DVD will help you learn how to correctly do these critical techniques. It also includes a complete routine that can be done with any cups. Or, portions may be incorporated into your present routine. If you are a beginner, this DVD will be invaluable.
Performances and Detailed Explanations of…
…and much more
