ENNEMATIC
$25
THE BLURB:
The secret weapon as used by Kenton Knepper and Mark
Townsend in full detail...For readers, Mind Readers,
personal coaches, mentalists, psychological performers and
yes, magicians too. As seen in all of Mr. Townsend's
television and book appearances.
Mind Reading students - this is a MUST. It's as close to
real Mind Reading as it gets. You really do NEED this one if
you are serious about Mind Reading.
As it says in the Ennematic book, "No matter what you do, if
you care at all about connecting with your audience on a
personal level, this work is for you."
Appear to be an expert in human behavior in a day or two of
pondering this amazing material. You can even be certified
as well (see our website for details).
It is impossible to describe all that reading Ennematic will
do for you. All we can do is hint at some of what you will
learn.
PDF File One - The You Name It Deck
What has been called "the only sensible and intimate
presentation of the Name Deck premise" is taught in full. As
seen on television, performed by Mark Townsend, with
additions by Kenton Knepper and Allen Zingg.
A spectator is asked if they know a friend by a certain
name. They say that they do. They are asked to look at a
chart of suits and numbers. Each suit and number has
character traits listed underneath them. The spectator
chooses the suit and number that best defines the friend
they have in mind. The card deck which has been in full view
is shown. On the backs are names of different people. Each
card back is different. The faces are all different as well.
The card created by the spectator is found in the deck and
displayed. Sure enough, on the back of the card is written
the very name of the person they had in mind!
Only one deck used. The deck is on the table from the start.
Two additional variations are taught as well. This trick
could have been sold for the price of the entire Ennematic
work alone. The real work however is in the rest of the
material found in the second download. The first download is
only eight pages long so that those who want to do a trick
right away can do so. This trick is explained in the manual
but there are additions to this first download not found in
the manual, and we know some of you will want to play with
this right away and learn more later. That's why we made
this part easily accessible on its own.
PDF File Two: The Ennematic Manual
Years of combined experience are distilled into easy to
learn charts, systems and tools so that mentalists, readers,
magicians, and personal coaches can learn in one night what
it took Mark Townsend and Kenton years to amass. No
worries...they have made it all entertaining and simple to
grasp.
What is "Ennematic"? It's a bit of an enigma and difficult
to explain. It's easier to learn. Essentially this is Mark
and Kenton's applications of the Enneagram. What's an
"Enneagram"? It is a special chart that incorporates
personality types and reveals all sorts of wonderful things.
Mark and Kenton have applied their studies in these realms
to performing, so that the Enneagram can be practical for
entertainers, readers, mentalists and close-up magicians.
It's easiest to describe it by telling you what you can do
with it.
* A spectator deals envelopes and stops wherever they wish.
They remove a slip of paper from their chosen envelope (no
trick envelopes) and the description within is found to
match their personality exactly. The descriptions in the
envelopes not chosen are very different.
* A playing card is removed sight unseen by a spectator and
the performer never touches it. The performer begins to talk
about personality types. He tells someone that they are of a
certain type, and the person agrees that this is true. This
type relates to a number and a suit on a playing card. When
the person turns the card over that was removed by someone
else before the reading, they find it is the exact card that
matches their personality. The performer may have a chart
and list on the table to verify this fact from the start, so
that the performer isn't "just making up" what each number
or suit means.
* REAL Mind Reading. Notice how someone speaks, how they
act, and then tell the person about their inner drives, why
they do what they do (even if they don't know), what they
secretly expect from others, what they really want, how they
see themselves, what they fear and more. How's that for real
Mind Reading?
* Spectators Know... A card is selected and held by a
spectator. A chart is shown and they choose the number and
suit that best fits their friend holding the card. When the
spectator looks at the card they took it is the very card
their friends had created based on their perceptions about
the spectator. Other versions and variations may be
performed instead.
* Helpful Readings Don't just tell people what they want to
hear. Like a true Mind Reader, tell people what they do that
causes them stress and what they can do to get out of it.
You can even work this into your standard mentalism or magic
performances. This is practical insight, not mere illusion.
* The Envelope Says... An envelope is placed on the table or
given to a spectator to hold. The spectator is told about
different personalty types, how each type corresponds to a
number, and how each type has a couple of "side issues" that
relate to the type. Based upon the meanings of the numbers
the spectator names a personality number. A disc is shaken
out of the envelope. This disc contains the person's number
and two "side numbers" as already discussed. "I knew I knew
you!" the performer remarks.
* Amazing Rapport can be had at very deep levels once you
have learned even a small part of the Ennematic system. This
applies to everyone you know and every thing you do, even
outside of the performance arena. Understand co-workers,
bosses, "problem spectators" and more.
* Instant, Provocative, Specific Readings Over The Phone or
Internet. Want to be an effective intuitive reader but can't
or won't memorize stock lines and phony things to say? Just
use the special charts provided in Ennematic. With a few
charts posted by your phone, computer or in your briefcase,
you are prepared to give flowing readings with accurate
results, real insights, productive suggestions and all
without memorizing anything or reading from a script. Say
things in your own natural way based on the incredible
charts provided for you in Ennematic. It really IS easy now.
* Color, Animal, Image or Card - A spectator chooses
favorites among a batch of cards, colors, animals, drawings
or a combination of these. The mentalist, as an expert in
psychology and human nature, tells the spectator about
themselves based upon these choices. Fascinating stuff. No,
you don't have to memorize twenty or thirty things - don't
worry.
We're not able to properly tell you all that this system can
do for you. Read this in a day or two and be educated
practically in these matters better than if you read ten
books on the subject. We know - we read them. We were
trained under experts in these areas. What we are giving you
is the direct information, with practical applications, easy
to understand prompts, tables, charts and effects so you can
begin learning this amazing system right away.
Ennematic is not automatic, but it is closer than almost any
other reliable system that we know. Some things in this book
you will do right away. Other portions you will want to
think about or study longer. You will get a legitimate
education in the Enneagram and basic Jungian types, and may
even be certified in it all, with a certificate to prove it!
Do some of this overnight, more in a few days, and even more
in a week or so if you really want to sink every bit in
deeply. This material will grow and expand with you anyway,
so take your time.
But don't think this material is difficult. It is not. It
will take a little bit of study, but how much you do is up
to you. You can easily get by doing just one simple card
effect and learn the system by performing the trick! If you
want to learn more, we've given you all the tools to do that
too, without taking a great deal of time or effort.
Every performer should own this work, because as performers
we simply must deal with others. Understanding others is
key. As mentalists, Mind Readers, coaches and intuitives,
being able to KNOW what is going on inside a person is
priceless.
We've spent a lot of words here trying to explain the
unexplainable. We have made accessible the nine types of the
Enneagram, the flow of the chart and that meaning, the basic
types, the deeper motivations and the real word
applications, literal and symbolic, so that anyone who wants
to apply this incredible system now can do so. That still
doesn't tell you what reading and working with this system
will.
It took a lot of years to learn all of this so that we could
simplify it for you and apply it to performing, but you
won't have to spend a lot of money to learn what we Know.
This is a MUST for every sort of performer. It's only $25
for the ebook which we know is too cheap...$35 for the ebook
with certification. Bet you didn't expect THAT.
Why so cheap? We want everyone to be using this in their
performances. That's why it isn't a hundred dollar download
- yet. But don't wait or we may change our minds, or at
least adjust our prices to be more reflective of the worth
of this one.
MY COMMENTS:
As stated in the blurb, describing just what an Enneagram is
can be difficult. Let's just say it's a way to categorize
personalities into 9 types, very much like the Meyers-Briggs
model does, although the categories of the two methodologies
are definitely different. And, there have been scientific
studies validating the Enneagram. It's most certainly
worthwhile to study this information as mentalists need as
many tools as possible to get to "know" people as best they
can.
In this 67-page downloadable e-book (plus the 9 page "You
Name It" deck PDF), Mark Townsend and Kenton Knepper explain
pretty much everything you need to know about the Enneagram.
I would have liked to see an actual, basic test for this
included, but you can go online and find them. There are
sources listed in the manual for them. But, as Mark and
Kenton explain, it's not really necessary to utilize the
material. This is like Tarot cards, numerology, and other
methods in which everyone has qualities of each category and
it really doesn't matter which one you assign to a
participant. You'll be right.
The question I know you may have is, "Why is this system
better than the others out there?" and/or "Do I need another
personality analysis?" The answer to the first question is
that this is no better or worse than the others. Whether
this one is easier for you or more difficult or more
uncomfortable is a completely subjective evaluation. This
is simply another tool to be able to "cold read" a
participant or sitter. The answer to the other question is
along the same lines. This is another tool, and it's a
valid tool, and one can never have enough tools in the
toolbox in order to get the job done of reading a
participant.
The deciding factor in this, of course, is the price.
Kenton has priced this information at a very low price, much
lower than SAR or other systems he's released, or that
others have released, and that's with or without the
certification. So it's really a very inexpensive investment
to have this information. And, even if you are aware of and
use Enneagrams, this material shows you how to apply this in
your work and that information is NOT contained in any basic
text on Enneagrams.
Finally, let me note the "You Name It" deck mentioned at the
top of the ad blurb. It reminded me quite a bit of Richard
Osterlind's solution to the Brainwave Deck that he included
on one of his videos. There is a one-time preparation with
a deck of cards. And, yeah, I know how some of you feel
about card effects. This one is a good one. I haven't
tried it out, but it certainly reads well, and so I'll trust
that, if this is something that appeals to you, it will work
beautifully for you.
