THE BLURB:
SEPTET: SUPER POWERS FOR MENTALISTS
If you've always wanted to become a psychic entertainer
possessing apparently true super powers, using almost no
props and little preparation, this book overflows with many
inspirational ideas and invaluable tools to do so! In this
final volume of the critically acclaimed Jack Kent Tillar's
Collector's Series, the creator of the classic Blister
effect has saved some of his most ingenious material for
last!
Highlights include:
- SUPER X-RAY VISION: The performer amazingly reads
information that is sealed between two steel plates!
- TOUGH AS NAILS: Steel nails are psychically bent by the
performer!
- THE MEMORY PILL ACT: The final expansion of Tillar's
signature act in which a performer swallows a miracle pill
that enables him to have a super memory for twenty minutes.
- All-new incredible routines by guest contributors Jeff
McBride, Ross Johnson, Scott Grossberg, Paul Draper, Bob
Fenton, Mark Edward, and Odes Odhner
Introduction by Larry Becker
"Jack Kent Tillar is a living legend among knowledgeable
mentalists everywhere. After reading the first 150 pages of
his new book, my admiration for him went off the charts! I
am in awe of this virtual treasure of mind-bending
mentalism. This book is the quintessence of our art."
- Larry Becker
174 pages, softbound
MY COMMENTS:
This is Jack's final book in the series. Since I helped him
produce this series, I'm a bit biased towards this. I also
wrote that above blurb, which I will freely admit is
chock-filled with the type of hyperbole that can be
annoying. But, hey, that's what sells it.
In any case, I know that fans of Jack's work will want this.
And, for everyone else, I'm including a list below of the
Table of Contents. You'll see some great stuff included and
it is, indeed, not only the last in the series, but the
biggest in terms of page count.
