TESLAVISION
by JAMES BISS

Nikola Tesla was a world-renowned Serbian-American inventor and physicist who is best known of his revolutionary work in the field of electricity and magnetism in the late 19th and early 20th century. Telsa's patents and theoretical work form the basis of modern alternating current electrical power systems (AC) – including the AC motor which helped usher in the Second Industrial Revolution.

He was probably first introduced to most magicians in the recent film "The Prestige" as a character portrayed by Davie Bowie. In the United States, Tesla's fame in the scientific community probably rivals that of any other inventor or scientist in history or popular culture. After his demonstration of wireless communication in 1893 and after being the victor in the "War of Currents", he was widely respected as America's greatest electrical engineer. Much of his early work pioneered modern electrical engineering and many of his discoveries were of groundbreaking importance.

Today, James Biss has finally revealed his application of Tesla's revolutionary Wireless Impulse Technology for the first time - with incredible results! You'll receive harmless but distinct sensations to the right and left side of your body, secretly delivered to you from your accomplice in the audience. These impressions can be delivered from as much as 100 feet away - silently and with perfect clarity - even through walls. It's as if Tesla himself were giving you a tap on the shoulder to guide you around the room or to discreetly inform you of what's occurring behind your back - Lighter sensations, Stronger sensations, Longer sensations, Shorter sensations, Combined sensations. Countless combinations and variables from an innocent looking wireless pager tucked away on you and a set of keys in the audience.

TeslaVision costs hundreds of dollars less than anything available to pros today and yet it does the job silently and reliably as never before. The package comes complete with an astonishing unconditional warranty.

The possibilities for professional mentalism masterpieces are endless. Included in the 15 page illustrated booklet however are four powerful effects, routined for maximum entertainment value in the style of James Biss' other best selling works. These valuable routines include:

TERRACOTTA WARRIORS

The magician presents a box with an oriental aspect that contains 5 Terracotta Warriors where each one has a base of a different color (white, yellow, red, green and blue). After the magician puts them for examination, he places them on the wooden base, and in that moment the experience begins.

He asks a person from the audience to come to the stage and blindfolds him/her. Once he is blindfolded, the magician asks the person to pick up one of the 5 figures and put it in a complete obscure bag. After a few seconds of concentration the magician guesses the chosen warrior.

In order to complicate the experience a little bit more, he asks the person to put back the warrior in its place and asks 4 more persons to come to the stage. Once they are there, he asks them to choose one warrior each and keep it in their jackets. The magician comes close to each person and by touching his hands he guesses the warriors that they have in their jackets.

Comes complete with 5 Terracotta Warriors, 5 red bags, base, and gimmick needed to perform the trick.

QUESTA (Q AND A SYSTEM)

In this effect by Docc Hilford the performer asks an audience member to pass cardboard slips and pens to the audience. Everyone is told to write down a question they want answered. For those who don't have a question in mind, it's suggested they write down some information that the performer couldn't know such as an address or telephone number. The mentalist NEVER TOUCHES THE SLIPS.

The performer explains that he needs to warm up his telepathic talent by using the thoughts from a few selected people. The helper selects four random slips. Four different people read their slips and concentrate on the various random thoughts.

Without anything in hand, the mentalist correctly reveals what the first person is thinking. The next person has a word in mind. The mentalist writes letters in a notebook and reveals the word. He sets the notebook aside and names people in the room and answers their specific questions. Thought after thought and question after question is revealed and answered in the effect. Finally, he duplicates a drawing of which another person thinks. In fifteen minutes the psychic has addressed about a twenty questions, drawings and thoughts.

But he's not finished yet. Before leaving the stage, the mind reader identifies one man by name. He then gives personal details about the stranger including the person's address, phone number and mother's maiden name!

The effect comes complete with gimmicked notebook filled with approximately 375 blank pages and 14 page instruction manual.

Dimensions Approximately 10" x 7 1/2"

DREAM LOCK

Alan Wong, the inventor says that he remembers his fascination when he saw the effect of a combination lock that opened on his year of birth. Later he came to notice an enhanced version that opens only on the month and day of your birthday. This further enhanced his interest and became a dream of his to develop a stronger effect with the combination lock.

He thought about possibilities where you are not limited to dates and years but open with any numbers named without any force and presetting work. After more than a year's work, he is pleased to present here his idea for such a desired effect, the Dream Lock.

Credit goes to Japan's master magician Mr. Hiro Sakai who has first invented a similar effect in 1988.

A borrowed ring is locked on a 4 digit combination lock, the dials are mixed and the spectator can test a few times that the lock cannot be opened. Spectator thought of any 4 digit number and put the numbers on the lock by himself. This proves to be the secret code that opens the lock! Spectator retrieves her ring from the lock in the end. There is no need to preset the lock or force any pre-conditioned numbers.
