Illusions of Influence

THE BLURB:
Illusions of Influence takes equivoque where it has not gone
before. This book takes a close and detailed look at an oft
misused technique of magic and mentalism. With
contributions from some of mentalism’s brightest minds,
Illusions of Influence teaches equivoque from the ground up.
If you have ever wanted to use equivoque, have used it in
the past, or are using it now; you need this book in your
library.

“This is an important new work on the equivoque that will
encourage those who've been reluctant to try it to go out
and do it. Sam's handling and ideas make the procedure
natural and easy to remember.”
John Riggs

"Its been a number of years when any decent work on "E" has
been written, and I think Sam possibly has written a new
standard."
Billy Enigmar

MY COMMENTS:
There is no question that equivoque (verbal control) is an essential and powerful technique to the working mentalist. Unfortunately, there have only been a few good texts on the subject, notably by Phil Goldstein (Max Maven) and Docc Hilford. Samuel Catoe has undertaken the task of providing a primer that explores the subject and is definitely a must-have for those who are starting out in mentalism, or have been afraid of trying this technique. After reading this, you should have much more confidence in your ability to take any number of objects and control participants to select one of the objects. Included as bonuses in this work are Greg Arce's classic Scorch and Floater, two incredible examples of equivoque. These are in addition to a few more included routines, including one by Nicholas Belleas. This 52-page, 5.5" by 8.5" booklet is only available from the author.
