MAGIC AND MENTALISM 3 Barrie Richardson

VOLUME THREE - MENTAL AEROBICS: MEMORY AND METAPHOR
 

Hvis du er bekendt med Barrie Richardsons meget roste bøger "Theater of the Mind" og "Act Two", ved du hvilken kapacitet han er - særligt inden for mentalmagien. Nu har L & L Publishing udgivet tre DVD'er med selvsamme Richardson. Her finder du et bredt udvalg af effekter, der strækker sig fra stand-up magi til hukommelsesmagi og tankelæsning. Med andre ord: her er der noget at hente for de fleste!

Først et eksempel fra tredje DVD, som Klaus Mulbjerg fremhævede i sin anmeldelse i Pegasus med disse ord:

QUARTET
Fin "Card Naming" - rutine hvor et spil kort deles mellem 4 tilskuere som blander hver deres bunke. Herefter kigger Barrie hurtigt på hver af de fire bunker, og kan herefter tilsyneladende huske, hvilke kort der ligger i de forskellige bunker.

Endvidere vises og forklares følgende numre:

ZEBRAS AND THE MAGIC SQUARE
A magic square routine that serves as a metaphor for how people too readily accept an easy answer while discounting other options. The audience interaction makes this demonstration a lively and memorable experience with none of the participants likely to ever forget what not seeing a zebra means.

THE HUMAN MOVIE PROJECTOR
The performer demonstrates an uncanny mental ability by memorizing 46 playing cards from a fairly mixed deck. The audience is helped to realize their own potential as they are able to correctly remember the order of the other six cards.

THE SUSPENDED RICE JAR METAPHOR
While weaving a tale of the ancient Chinese priestesses, the performer suspends a large jar of rice with just a single thin chop stick. No magnets, wires, or gimmicks - just magic!

SUN AND MOON MEMORIES
A routine that utilizes concepts with far-reaching applications for mystery workers, the performer demonstrates how words, numbers, and pictures can be communicated, not by mind reading, but by using just the power of touch.

THE MEMORIZED TIME MAGAZINE
A current issue of Time is torn in half and the pages distributed to members of the audience. Any page number is called out and the performer immediately is able to reveal the contents on the selected page, including detailed descriptions of the articles, in addition to intricate details such as phone and credit card numbers. No electronics are used in this dramatic demonstration of the creative powers inherent in everyone's mind. This one's a true audience pleaser!
