Kenton Knepper
PERSONALITY READINGS FOR PERFORMERS
$25
THE BLURB:
"Kenton brings meaning to magic and heartfelt connection to
his audiences. The material in this ebook is full of top
notch ideas and contains a wealth of experience for the
reader."
~Jeff McBride creator of the magic and mystery school
Wouldn't it be nice to know which spectator was going to act
the way you needed them to for an effect? How would you like
to have people be impressed by you, just because you asked
their name? Contrary to popular belief, readings don't have
to be "psychic" nor do they have to be performed by readers,
or even mentalists, only. This book teaches you how to use
original readings methods as a way to connect deeply with
your audience, and know their personality, no matter what
type of performing you do!
In 2010 Kenton gave a talk on this subject at McBride's
Magic and Meaning. The talk was often called one of the
highlights of the entire event. Many have asked for a
complete book on the principles as Kenton discussed them at
M & M 2010. This is the book you have been waiting for from
that talk.
In this important ebook Kenton and his Students detail how
they use their readings tools in every type of performance,
lecture, sales, life coaching or daily interaction.
Here are a few of the things you will learn in this PDF
book:
* Use personality readings in magic and mentalism effects as
a covert way to gain rapport.
* Select the best spectator for any effect based on secret
reading methods.
* Influence spectators to behave as you wish under the guise
of a personality reading.
* Make simple tricks into memorable and personal
experiences.
* Do readings without memorization or stock lines of any
kind.
* Touch a spectator and instantly begin talking about their
personality as if you are meeting them from the inside out.
* Connect deeply with others.
* Have others feel as if they have always known you.
* Apparently read the very thoughts of others, even those
skeptical ones, without a person saying a thing.
* Turn difficult spectators into willing participants using
simple and entertaining methods.
* Convince people you know all about them before they do
anything at all.
* Make audience helpers feel special, unique and important,
while they comply with what you need them to do.
* Be memorable to any audience.
* Learn how to use real impressions and make actual
predictions.
* and much more.
Plus you'll get bonus comments from Neil Tobin, John Charles
Robinson, Jason Messina, Fraser and others.
This work is a specific collection of materials from the
Mind Reading Lessons, as well as additional commentary,
tools and applications. So many have asked for these
specific teachings to be in one place so they could easily
be found, learned together and applied as Kenton actually
uses these tools.
With just a few easy principles, most with no memory needed
in any way at all, you will greatly enhance your effects, be
it a card trick, a stand-up bit, a sincere performance
piece, or a bit of comedy. You will be able to choose the
best person from a group or audience for whatever trick you
wish to do. You will appear to have known people forever,
and connect at deep levels with your audience, be it one
person or a large group. Audiences will feel that you truly
care about them. You will never sound like a staid script or
that you are performing on auto-pilot. You may appear to
read minds with no information given to you at all, other
than the secrets in this ebook.
If you will apply the tools in this book even a little, your
performances, large or small, will dramatically change for
the better. Your everyday communications will get better
too.
This amazing compilation collection and new material will
radically alter the way you think of performing, connecting
to others, or doing readings of any kind.
It is a must for all who wish to be mentalists or readers,
as well as all other performers who simply need to connect
more deeply with their audience in a novel, direct and
entertaining way.
You can do personality and character reading styles, as well
as psychic type readings and even predictions with this
material.
Find out for yourself why prominent mentalists and important
performers such as those at McBride's Magic and Meaning
insist on the value and use of the material in this ebook.
MY COMMENTS:
It's hard for a product to actually live up to the hyperbole
in the blurb, but this one unquestionably does. And so to
add some incredibly enthusiastic remarks about this might
seem like I'm just extending the advertisement.
In short, this contains many useful cold reading techniques
that can be used during the performance. This is not
numerology, astrology, runes, Tarot, or palmistry. No extra
tools or props are necessary. This is providing information
about the person being spoken to while in casual
conversation with him or her.
For example, by noting the way they shake hands, the colors
of the clothing being worn, and the way they write (as in
the words or info to be revealed in a Q&A, for instance),
the performer can say quite a lot about the participants.
Other topics included are the "No-Thing Words," the power of
opposing words, the three-step prediction, and associations.
There is no table of contents included.
For those who don't do readings, let me clarify that you
don't HAVE to do full readings. Though you could, this type
of information is meant to enhance what you already do.
Just adding one line or two during a routine will enhance
that routine and make it more memorable. For instance, in a
psychometry routine, you can say a meaningful statement or
two that apparently allow you to zero in on the owner of an
object.
The only consideration that I'd give is that Knepper
includes some very unique meanings for the letters of the
alphabet. However, there are other methods, such as
numerology or Richard Webster's PSYCHOMETRY A TO Z, that may
be easier for one to use. And, of course, if you already
know a method that gives meanings to letters, I don't think
you'll switch to this one. But this is a very minor
consideration. Kenton's explanations of how he uses these
meanings are just as good.
Finally, as indicated in the blurb, much of this material is
from the brilliant MIND READING LESSONS series (you are
getting that, right?!). There is some new material, but the
big plus for getting this, especially for those who are
getting the MIND READING LESSONS series, is that all this
material is one place for easy reference.
This is a 62 page, downloadable PDF file.
