THE BLURB:
One of mentalism’s best-kept secrets is the work of Jack
Kent Tillar, who is most famous as the creator of the
classic Blister effect from Tarbell #7. Jack’s work has
been published in Magick, Genii, The Linking Ring, and
Jheff’s Journal of the Mind, among many others. His work
has influenced many of today’s top creators in the world of
mentalism.
“The Memory Pill Act” is a complete 15 minute act that
Bascom Jones praised to the heavens. In fact, it was the
first time he EVER devoted a complete issue of Magick to one
writer. And his accompanying Bonus Insert was the first that
ever introduced a brand new breakthrough principle.
In the act, the performer explains that certain drugs have
been developed to greatly enhance one’s memory ability.
After he takes one of these pills, he proceeds to perform a
variety of demonstrations proving the pill’s benefits.
The demonstrations include:
-- Audience members call out about 20 random letters which
are written down on a large pad and verified. The performer
turns the pad to face the audience, covers his eyes with his
hands, and recites the letters in the exact order as they
are on the pad. And then continues to stun the crowd by
reciting the exact list in REVERSE ORDER!
-- A half dozen audience members write down ten digit
numbers on slips of paper. These papers are momentarily
studied by the performer. The slips are handed to another
participant who chooses one. After calling out the first
two numbers on the slip, the performer quickly calls out the
remaining eight numbers. This is incredibly repeated with
most of the other slips!
-- A deck of cards is shuffled. The performer looks through
all the cards. Then, holding the cards face down, begins to
name each card in order. After several cards are correctly
named, the performer eliminates the possibility of marked
cards by putting the cards behind his back and continuing
the amazing feat!
-- Finally, audience members call out twenty-five objects
which are written down and numbered from one to twenty-five.
The performer is able to amazingly call out all 25 objects
in order as well as name any object at any number asked for.
As a bonus, Jack shares with you how to call out specific
items that specific participants are thinking of.
You’ll also learn how to be able to remember every day of
every week for the entire twentieth century!
And you’ll be able to call out the amount of any one of a
series of multi-million dollar sales deals just for the
asking!
THE MEMORY PILL ACT is an 18-page e-book in PDF format.
Upon payment, you’ll be e-mailed the e-book within 48
hours.
“I've known Jack Tillar for many, MANY years. He's a
gentleman, and a fellow musician to boot! But more
importantly, in both mentalism and music, his material
always is extremely effective, practical---and---
entertaining.” -- Gene Neilsen
MY COMMENTS:
Since I wrote the blurb above (gotta be honest), there’s not
much more to say. I will add that this is not an act that
you’ll be able to do within minutes of reading the
manuscript, unless you have already mastered some of the
memory skills discussed in the manuscript. Jack blends
trickery and real memory skills into this act. However, the
information provided will aid in one's relatively quick
mastery of the material. Do I really need to tell you that I
highly recommend this?
