Subliminal Effects

THE BLURB:
Kenton is releasing at last some of the secret CDs he has
used to make a deep impression on clients and everyday
audiences.

The first CD package creates instant credibility. You will
be able to prove immediately that you are a trained and
certified expert in subliminal programming and telepathic
influence.

Gather a group of friends together and watch as they learn
to pick up on subliminal influence... You'll perform for 30
minutes, and the most you need do is a card force and
equivoque (only once each) - and only if you wish to add
these in. You do not need to perform these to use the
majority of the CD.

Your friends will be highly impressed as they begin to
accurately pick up on the subliminal cues on the CD (yes,
these subliminals are really on the CD).

Kenton has used such audio devices to instantly generate
respect and credibility as a mentalist, suggestionist,
hypnotist and more.

Put on this CD, tally up the amazing results, and your
guests will be so intrigued that they will be begging you to
talk more about your abilities and special knowledge.

This is the perfect introduction to mentalism performed in
your home, as a lead in to booking hypnosis or mentalism
shows with a small group, "training" people to tune into
subliminal, telepathic or personal intuition, selling
subliminal CDs, and more.

Kenton's special wording, psychological forces and
applications, subliminal recording, sound marking and other
sneaky things are at work on the CD - so that you don't
really have to work at all.

All that you need do is show your Certified Tester's
Certificate (included) and then focus on interacting with
your guests as the "official" CD plays.

Then be prepared to be taken VERY seriously.

All with little work on your part.

Subliminal testing CD, Detailed Instructional CD by Kenton
himself, and Two Certified Subliminal Tester Certificates
included.

Sure there's a trick to it all - but your guests and
audiences will think it is as legitimate as can be.

These CDs helped make Kenton's reputation as a serious
investigator of suggestion and mentalism. The CDs can do the
same for you - instantly.

Frankly, it's also just a lot of fun for both listeners and
performer!

Make for a memorable evening in your home or group with
Kenton's special "Subliminal Effects CD Set".

Important!: If you want to appear as just a typical
trickster, do NOT order this special set. This special set
is for those who wish to appear legitimate and well-trained
in suggestion and/or telepathic influence only.

CD 1 Running Time Approximately 36min
CD 2 Running Time Approximately 60min

MY COMMENTS:
This is another intriguing concept by Kenton Knepper. It's
a handsomely produced 30 minute interactive program with
your audience that consists mostly of well-known
psychological forces which prove to the audience that you
have the ability of suggestion and subliminal persuasion.
You get two CDs. One has the program on it and the other
has full audio instructions by Kenton.

There are a couple of considerations I have regarding this.
First, the program makes the performer out to be a qualified
subliminal tester from a fictitious organization. To me, I
don't want my audience to think that someone else trained
me. I want them to think that I'm the expert and could
possibly train them. This is by no means a major criticism
because some performers will certainly find this approach
quite effective for their style and work.

Also, the blurb says, "You'll perform for 30 minutes, and
the most you need do is a card force and equivoque (only
once each) - and only if you wish to add these in."
However, before the initial program ends the voice states
there's a few more exercises the tester can do if the tester
is qualified. Should the performer or tester stop at that
point, it would suggest that he/she isn't qualified and I'm
not sure that's something one would want their audience to
perceive. The script should have had the program end before
that point and then a few seconds later start with up with
an additional exercise. If you plan on doing the whole
program, then this isn't going to a problem for you. But if
you wish not to use these two exercises (one involves cards
and the other involves choosing randomly selected objects)
you'll have to stop the program at an appropriate point
before the announcer officially ends the main part of the
program and begins the bonus demonstrations.

Again, those are personal considerations that came to mind
after I listened to the program, and may not apply to you at
all. As stated above, the quality of this recording is top
notch. As one hears the program, there are background
noises (sounding kind of like running water and other
noises) that the audience will learn later contribute
greatly to their choices. Though I have not seen this
performed in front of audiences, or performed it myself,
I'm sure that this can be a lot of fun for the right
performer. It's one of those ideas that if it suits your
style, it will be great for you as it's a complete mini-act
that you hardly have to do any work to do.
