THE BLURB:
Imagine, constructing a picture with elements randomly and
freely named by members of the audience, allowing them to
change their minds and add addition elements, then revealing
that you had previously drawn a similar or even identical
picture.
Imagine, performing a non-force, real time mental epic
routine with a piece of paper, index card, notepad,
whiteboard, blackboard, or nearly anything that can be
written on, it could even be borrowed.
Imagine, reading minds or predicting names, words, pictures,
nearly anything that can be named up close, or on stage.
Imagine, not needing anything “special” to perform these
feats.
Stop imagining!
Tony Eye’s “The Write Stuff” provides you with the tools to
do this, and more.
Here is what they are saying:
"We'd say it was brilliant but we usually reserve that term
for our own material.
Ah, what the hell ... 'The Write Stuff' *is* brilliant! It's
well a written, nicely photo-illustrated concept that
belongs in every Mentalist's toolbox."
Larry Becker & Lee Earle
“ The Write Stuff is Good Stuff"
John Riggs
“It is a devilishly clever … it is something that is going
to be talked up a lot and will become an instant classic.“
Sebastian Black
MY COMMENTS:
Tony has taken a classic mentalism technique (we'll refer to
it as "DW" and experienced mentalists will know what I'm
referring to) and brought some incredible new thinking to
it. Be warned, this is not a technique that you'll be able
to do five minutes after reading. It will take some
practice. However, the difficulty level will be different
for each person depending on their present skills.
In this 45 page 8.5" x 11" book (available in e-book and
printed formats), Tony discusses how to use this technique
with various mentalists' writing tools. Among the fourteen
sections of this book, one discusses performance ideas, but
the routines aren't really the focus. Professionals should
have no trouble coming up with routines to use this for.
This is not a book of routines, but a book about a technique
and how to apply it. In mentalism, there are only a handful
of really good techniques that mentalists should master.
Contact mind reading and billet work are among those on the
short list. The technique presented here can proudly be
added to that list of skills that will be invaluable to the
working mentalist. It's definitely recommended.
