Kentonism

THE BLURB:
Kenton's renowned masterwork and his unique styling in the art of
suggestion, influence, and apparent "telepathic hypnosis".
Since eight years of age, hypnosis and what seemed to be actual
magical, mental powers fascinated Kenton. Over the decades, Kenton
has created and developed certain secret methods _ known to but a
very few of Kenton's closest friends. These are the exact methods
used by Kenton to create absolute awe and fascination in the minds
of Kenton's clients.

Kenton has guarded these concepts most jealously. Finally, the full
story can be told. What was once legend and myth is now within the
grasp of anyone who cares to study and apply these ingenious
concepts. So, what is "Kentonism"? What can you do?

With Kentonism you may appear to:
Have a spectator slip into an altered state _ just by looking at your
business card!
Cause a spectator to choose thoughts and objects based on
subliminal suggestion
Perform a full "hypnosis " type act, without having to learn or do
hypnosis
Write thoughts down on a pad of paper, then stand back, and watch
as audience members are compelled to do these things!
Apply telepathic and subliminal influence close_up or on stage
Learn legitimate suggestion techniques, and innovative methods
created by Kenton
Includes special "subliminal" art designs to copy for your own
business cards

We know what you usually get. This is not a work that uses "all
stooges". Of course not _ this is KENTON. Kenton has incorporated
linguistic deception, dual_reality, and actual suggestion into these
unusual principles and applications. KENTONISM is a rare look into
Mr. Knepper's most secret work. This material is NOT for the magic
hobbyist. This material is NOT a way to get people to date you. This
is the real secret work for thinkers and performers. This book is over
60 full size pages in length.

Kenton wanted to be sure that this amazing work was well within the
price range of most serious people. While he could have charged a
great deal more for these methods, we are offering it for a real steal.
The last time we said something like that was when "Wonder
Readings" was available, and at only $100.00 _ You know what it
goes for these days... Get this before Kenton snaps out of his trance!
Also Available: _ The Kentonism CD_Rom which contains the
necessary graphics!

MY COMMENTS: It's a 67 page 81/2 by 11 size book that's staple-
bound and, as with most Kenton material, reads like a long rambling,
though thorough, discussion. But it's a wonderful read and filled with
important and powerful ideas. And, yes, though the blurb is a well-
crafted sales pitch, everything promised is there. I'm still
contemplating how best to incorporate them into my style, if I can.
The books is broken up into approximately seven sections, with
subsections throughout. Sections include an introduction, a forward,
"Formal KENTONISM: An Act of Suggestion," "Pure Kentonism," Final
Notes, "Bonus: A Miracle For Those Who Dare," and four pages of
reproducible artwork.

Kenton's Wonder Words series of audio-tapes is a must-have, so
many will wonder if this is part of that. It is NOT an extension of
Wonder Words and you'll be sorely disappointed if you're expecting
that. However, it is an extension of the use of those principles. As
Allen Zingg says in the introduction, this "is a mini-course on how to
apply some of the principles Kenton has been teaching for years to
real-world, practical performance material."

I will warn you that this is not a series of tricks, but a well-
developed psychology that will create an experience of wonder in
your participants. The stuff doesn't work automatically. It is bold
and you have to be on your toes and think while performing the
material. And I know that, for some, that may not suit your style.
But, if it does and if you're serious about these ideas, then along with
this highly recommended book, I'll strongly suggest also getting the
companion CD-Rom that contains JPGs of all the necessary artwork,
plus quite a few more that are not in the book.
