Patrick Redford
PENTAGON
$40
THE BLURB:
Pentagon boasts five impromptu routines + a few hidden
surprises all featuring some of the coolest super powers
around. This is the fourth book in the series of five.
Contents:
Super Hearing-
A Sound Phone Call
Using super hearing you're able to tell the exact number of
coins your subject is shaking in his hand over a phone line.
X-Ray Vision -
X-Ray Vision Coins
Using the power of x-ray vision you're able to tell which
hand a borrowed coin is in, it's date, and whether its heads
up or tails up.
Mind Reading -
Shade Drawing Duplication
An incredibly clean close-up Drawing Duplication combining a
clever peek and legitimate muscle reading.
Psychokinetic Power -
Staring Sensation
With their eyes closed, two people step into each other's
mind and body and think and feel exactly as the other person
thinks and feel. Two people can sense when the other is
starring at the back of their head, they sense when the
other person moves their arms, and anticipate when the other
is about to stand.One subject may even think of the exact
same word that the other has freely thought of.
Time Travel-
The Time Traveler
An entire room notes the time on their watch only to
experience the physical sensation of time travel as a
business card with the current time written across the face
is ripped and burned only to visually un-burn, un-rip, and
finally go blank. When everyone looks at their watch again
time its verified that somehow the room traveled back
through time a full five minutes.
MY COMMENTS:
Redford's anthology series of impromptu mental miracles just
seems to get better and better. This one features some of
my favorites so far. Two of these, X-Ray Vision Coins and
Staring Sensation, were performed at Mindvention 2011 and
received a great response.
If you do PK Touches, then you need this. Redford provides
some amazing new ideas to this classic in his Staring
Sensation. At Mindvention, he demonstrated by having one
person hold a coin over a table and look at the coin. A
second stood behind him. As soon as that second person made
a silent signal, which the first person could not see, the
coin was dropped. That, plus other really good ideas to add
to PK Time are here.
Kenton Knepper and Alain Nu, among others, have recently
released material involving the entire audience traveling
back in time. The Time Traveler presents Redford's very
practical and ingenious ideas on the subject.
X-Ray Vision Coins is probably the most "magic" of this
group since it does require some basic coin sleights, but it
is one that seems the most impossible. A Sound Phone Call
is an over-the-phone coins version of a classic Stewart
James effect. Shade Drawing Duplication is Redford's
variation on a Patrick Kuff's idea.
All of these are impromptu effects. The fifty-page,
comic-book sized publication is like the others in the
series. There are comic book pages to illustratee how the
effect looks and then text that explains the workings and
ideas behind each effect. This is definitely something
worth checking out, natch.
