Act Of Imagination

THE BLURB:
"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?

    * Do a full hypnosis type act without any hypnosis,
stooges, trick props, or set-up.
    * People may think they have become furniture, see
themselves without pants - any number of wild seemingly
"hypnotic demonstrations" are performed without paid helpers
or real hypnosis.
    * This is the full act just as Enrique Enriquez has
performed it around the world, in theatres, living rooms,
art museums and television. You get all the details of the
act Enrique is performing to this day to gather fame and
honor worldwide.

      Psst! It's EASY. But it will take practice.
    * PLUS Enrique also tips for the first time his classic
blindfold portrait effect with all the touches and details
only he alone can tell. Draw accurate portraits of unseen
people, even if you are not an artist!
    * AND Kenton tips his special duct tape blindfold
designed for Enrique's act as well. Your head is down, eyes
to the floor the entire time, duct tape all over your eyes
and nose. No nose peek, no seeing through the blindfold
either. REALLY. Of course there's a secret - and Kenton
finally reveals it here for the first time here. Many have
raved about this gem.

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.

MY COMMENTS:
I have just one word to say about this: Brilliant. I've
known, and known about, Enrique Enriquez and his unique
perspectives on mentalism for quite some time. If you've
never heard of him, this book will certainly convince you
that he's one of the pre-eminent thinkers of mentalism.

What this booklet contains is an act that, for all intent
and purposes, is a hypnosis act. Yet, the "h" word is never
used. There is no hypnotic induction. There are no words
like "psychic," "telepathy," "mentalism," or "mental"
anywhere in the act's script. It's all about imagination
and how powerful it can be.

The act begins with an opening done silently. (You'll have
to read the book to find out why.) Then there are a few
opening exercises of the imagination. That's followed by
exercises that are similar to that found in a hypnosis act,
but because it deals with the imagination, are much more
powerful. These include "Imagining a Drawing," "The
Invisible Book," "The volunteer's hands stick to their
faces," "The helpers find themselves glued to their chairs,"
"Imagining a Dream," and "Train of Thoughts." The entire
act is detailed in 32 pages. One certainly doesn't have to
do it exactly as written (in fact, you shouldn't). There is
room to add and remove certain elements to fit your style.

The other pages describe Enrique's Original Blindfold
Portraits routine with Kenton's astonishing Duct Tape
Blindfold. I haven't tried this duct tape blindfold yet,
but it's a terrific idea. Unfortunately, it's not practical
for most standard blindfold routines, but when it's
suitable, it will kill. Enrique's Blindfold Portraits is a
stunning performance art piece. You do need the ability to
draw though.

This act (which comes in an 8.5" by 11" 44-page, cloth-bound
book) certainly isn't for everyone and it isn't for the
novice performer or novice mentalist (please, please,
please, understand this). It's simplicity may not be
appreciated by those who cannot recognize the complexity
involved in performing this very different, very powerful
act. Highly recommended for the experienced performer.
