Kenton's own unique Duct Tape Blindfold Method fully
revealed at last!

PLUS

Kenton's incredible Blindfolded Three Card Discovery with
three free selections, found while blindfolded !

Details:

Kenton's unique blindfold method uses legitimate gaffer's or
duct tape. This tape is universally acknowledged as the
strongest tape known to man.

This can be performed entirely impromptu. No preparation of
the tape. The performer can act as if legitimately
blindfolded because the performer actually cannot see...
until desired. The performer can be blind or see in an
instant, at any time, without touching the blindfold at all.

This blindfold is as real as it gets!

The audience will wince and some nearly faint as the
performer slowly removes the duct tape blindfold from his
eyes. There is no doubt in anyone's mind that it would be
impossible to see.

Now Get This:

NO Nose peeks.

NO Seeing through the tape.

The eyes, nose and even mouth may be taped (as long as there
is enough of a hole to keep breathing easily!) and yet
Kenton's Blindfold can still be used for:

*Drawing Duplications

*Determining audience members

*Naming number of fingers held up by a spectator

*Determining who is "Queen For The Day" or the "Guilty"
party

*Unlimited routines and effects will come to you once you
learn Kenton's secrets with his original Blindfold creation.

Unlike other versions, the performer can look straight down
to the ground and Kenton's Blindfold will still allow the
performer to see writing, people and more easily.

It's all very simple and direct - the sort of devious
solution you would expect from Kenton.

Note: While this special blindfold has endless applications
it is not suggested for use in a blindfold drive.

PLUS

Kenton's 3 Card Blindfold Location routine is tipped in its
entirety for the first time ever.

This routine and original method has blown pros away for
years. Kenton's secret was mentioned only in part
previously, causing a slew of supposed creations and
imitations by others who did not know the true secret. The
result was inferior gimmicks and difficult moves never
needed in Kenton's original work.

3 freely selected cards are shuffled into the deck, while
the performer is legitimately blindfolded. The performer
truly cannot see. The deck is actually shuffled and cut - NO
false shuffles, finger breaks, etc.

Still... The performer finds all three cards, handing each
to the proper person WHILE BLINDFOLDED, even causing one
card to change to another's spectator's card in their own
hands, while the original card ends up in the performer's
pocket... all while legitimately BLINDFOLDED... and with no
palming required!

This is pure Kenton. You can even name a card during the
revelations, although no card is forced and you really
cannot see the card. Yes, there is a gimmick, but it is
easily made and Kenton's original method will clean up loads
of other card work and card gimmicks you have purchased from
others too. Combine this with Kenton's Blindfold and you can
hand the correct cards to people in a row who mix themselves
around freely too.

Get Kenton's ORIGINAL method and see for yourself why all
other imitations never could come close.

Remember: This 3 Card Blindfolded Location is in addition to
the explanation of Kenton's Original Duct Tape Blindfold
method . You get the full work on BOTH the 3 Card Blindfold
Routine AND Kenton's Original Blindfold Method on this one
DVD.

Performers, amateurs, mentalists and magicians alike have
been floored by these presentations. When they learn the
inside work, they are even more impressed with the direct,
simple and practical solutions Kenton has created.

We know you too will be scratching your head and then
smiling a wry smile of glee as you learn at last...

Kenton's Duct Tape Blindfold secrets

(This is shot in live performance so you can see actual
reactions. Additional information and applications are
included. Priced to stay out of the hands of the common
curiosity seeker.)

How strong is just the mere suggestion of duct tape as true
security in real life? The U.S. Government issued the
suggestion of using DUCT TAPE to tape up doorways to be safe
and secure from a chemical attack!

Another example:

Question. Besides The Force from Star Wars, what has a light
side and a dark side and holds the Universe together?
Answer? Duct tape!

From a science store: "Nuclear physicists speak of five
fundamental forces: weak, strong, electromagnetic, gravity,
and duct tape."

These sorts of comments from daily life are in the back of
the minds of audiences, continually suggesting that duct
tape is the most secure material well-known and familiar to
us. Imagine then how much more power there is in a blindfold
of duct tape versus a cloth blindfold or unnatural metal
one!

Kenton has taken assumptions and suggestion and made them
his favorite blindfold. We think it will be one of your
all-time favorites too.

This devious secret is simple and easy to perform. The power
and believability of it however is beyond compare.

THE PERFECT AND BELIEVABLE SOLUTION FOR REALISTIC MENTALISM
WITH BLINDFOLDS AT LAST.

MY COMMENTS:
This is exactly what the blurb says:  a blindfold method
using ordinary duct tape.  There is nothing extra you need
to do and it's all in the handling.  Just grab a roll of
duct tape and go.  That said, putting duct tape on your head
may cause some to be nervous and you do have to careful
putting it on or off, but Kenton explains how to do it so
that you shouldn't have much anxiety.  Also, it's an extreme
benefit that putting the silver duct tape on your head
actually suggests, and in photographs looks like, a metal
blindfold and that can definitely provide the same impact as
having a metal blindfold.

Also, and perhaps this is most important, the "seeing," or
the perspective you're seeing when blindfolded, is different
from any other technique.  Some may find it bothersome,
especially if you're used to traditional techniques.  Some
may find that it makes it much easier and more practical
than any other method.  The bottom line is that I think this
method is a stylistic choice that will depend on comfort and
your particular eyesight needs.

The card effect that Kenton uses on this DVD while
blindfolded is certainly unique, fascinating, and
well-crafted, but I know that many mentalists will use other
routines.  The card effect and the blindfold work are
independent techniques and you don't have to do the card
effect while using the duct-tape blindfold.

If you do blindfold work, or are considering blindfold work,
this DVD is certainly recommended to check out.  I can't
guarantee that this method will suit your style, but I think
you'll be glad you checked it out and, if it does suit you,
it will be one of the best investments you'll have made this
year.
