Suggestabilities

THE BLURB:
Suggestabilities is a collection of three essays, each
followed by an effect illustrating the principles explained.

Ericksonian Extracts is the first piece I ever published. It
describes the impact of Milton Erickson on my own practices
as a mentalist.

Alphabody Language puts these Ericksonian principles to work
in a new way that allows the audience to reveal a chosen
word! A versatile technique, the word can be from a standard
booktest or learned by any clandestine method you prefer. No
dual reality, no instant stooging, just good old-fashioned
mentalism!

A Suggestion On The Use Of Suggestion addresses a common
problem many beginning and even seasoned mentalists
experience in approaching the art of suggestion. I explain
the reason this occurs and offer a time honored, bulletproof
solution.

The Jumping Pulse is the perfect effect to apply my
solution. It can’t go wrong; it’s usable for one person or
an entire audience. Imagine evoking the sensation of your
pulse jumping from finger to finger! Derived from my own
clinical practice in mindfulness, The Jumping Pulse can
serve as an effect on its own or as a gateway to enhance
other routines.

Justifying Your Gaze is a treatise on how to integrate your
natural behaviors into peek work and more. Learn my answer
to dilemmas that inhibit many mentalists from using some of
our most powerful tools.

Outside The Fold is a potent routine where, with a fully
justified gaze, you describe a spectator’s friend in detail.

As a bonus, join Millard Longman and myself as we journey to
the weekly service of a shuteye psychic. Or is he?

MY COMMENTS:
For those of you who are bored by reading about enhancing
your material with cutting edge philosophy that cleverly
elevates your performances to that of a miracle worker, then
skip this and move on. This isn't for you and that's just
okay.

But for the professional who is continuously studying their
art and always looking to up their game, so to speak, Dr.
Bill presents some thoughts and ideas that will have you
thinking about how to apply it to your act well before you
reach the last page. Including in this is a strong idea that
may make you revisit magic squares (if you don't already do
them), a great reason to put that card away and do the
"business" with particular wallets, and a chilling method to
get your entire audience's skin to crawl.

As described above, this 61-page downloadable PDF file
contains three essays and each one has an effect which
follows and illustrates the points from the previous essay.
Because what you're getting are some gems of ideas, I can't
really go into much detail without giving it away. However,
I can say that three important topics that Dr. Bill
discusses are The Cooperation Principle, bypassing
resistance, and shutting down the analytic mind. And that's
just in the first essay! If that intrigues you, and you
want to find out more (as I did), you'll just have to use
the link and get it.
