This unique publication brings together more than 20 routines from Sean&#8217;s working repertoir and also details his feelings on the performance and presentation of mentalism. The descriptions of each effect are detailed way beyond those usually included in magic publications and are littered with observations\uff0c advice and handling tips which can only come from hundreds of performances of the material. Several of the items in the book have been in Sean&#8217;s armoury for many years and several are still in his current working act. At least three of them could have been released as standalone items and would\uff0c in the right hands\uff0c be worth the price of the book.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Effects include \u2026\u2026\u2026..<\/p>\n<p>* The Book Master \u2013 The Any Book\uff0c Any Page booktest system. No memory work\uff0c no forcing and no pumping.<\/p>\n<p>* The Throne Room \u2013 Sean&#8217;s approach to the classic chair test. Four Audience members sit on four chairs and you have correctly predicted their seating position\uff0c not once but twice!<\/p>\n<p>* News Of The World \u2013 A newspaper test where the entire audience helps to select a single word from dozens of newspapers. A single word which matches a prediction in view from the outset. The performer is seated in the audience throughout!<\/p>\n<p>Joe Atmore said &#8220;I loved your newspaper test! At first I was thinking it was a standard bit \u2013 but when you sat down\u00a0 in<\/p>\n<p>the audience\uff0c I thought otherwise.\u00a0 You had me guessing all the way up until the reveal.\u00a0 Very nice structuring to the routine.\u00a0 You had me when the spectator chose I think 10 and then the person on stage counted down and you weren&#8217;t involved at all.\u00a0 Being the kind of guy I\u00a0 am\uff0c I tried to work\u00a0 it out\uff0c but didn&#8217;t come up with anything satisfactory. Are you going to release it?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>* The Pro Envelope \u2013 Perhaps the easiest and most versatile gimmicked envelope.<\/p>\n<p>* Survivor \u2013 You predict the last man standing in a live version of the popular TV show.<\/p>\n<p>* Anchors AHoy \u2013 Possibly the most convincing version of the David Hoy Tossed Out Deck yet.<\/p>\n<p>* Colossal Card Memory \u2013 Memorise an entire deck of giant cards\uff0c bizarrely with no memory work!<\/p>\n<p>* Pineapple Surprise \u2013 Sean&#8217;s marketed comedy cabaret effect with new work for the mentalist.<\/p>\n<p>* MindChange \u2013 A unique handling for Max Maven&#8217;s Kurotsuke with borrowed coins.<\/p>\n<p>* Persuasive Banknight \u2013 Sean&#8217;s opening effect for over 5 years. Finally &#8216;Banknight&#8217; makes sense.<\/p>\n<p>Nicholas Johnson said &#8220;The highlights of the book for me are his tossed out deck\uff0c bank night and a fantastic newspaper prediction that plays for a massive crowd. In the tossed out deck\uff0c there are several great subtleties and details that make this utterly convincing. If you enjoyed Wayne Dobson&#8217;s tossed out deck\uff0c you&#8217;ll love this. The bank night manages to make mentalism funny without trivialising it. There is also the instructions on how to make a GREAT\uff0c if somewhat fiddly\uff0c double envelope as well as several routines for it. I&#8217;ve always felt\uff0c that one of Sean&#8217;s great strengths is using psychology and presentation in getting simple methods to play convincingly. It&#8217;s a great book from a straight talking\uff0c no BS performer who cuts to chase and cuts out the filler.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Richard Paddon said &#8220;The items which stand out for me include Tossed Deck\uff0c Survivor\uff0c the Newspaper Test\uff0c Persuasive Banknight\uff0c The Chair Prediction and Colossal Card Memory which personally\uff0c I hope goes unnoticed. The Chair Prediction is a great routine. It plays large to any size audience\uff0c is fun\uff0c has two separate impossible revelations and it fools. Many of the routines are of the \u201cpack small \u2013 play large\u201d style. This is a book from a working pro. The routines have been performed by Sean and are fully developed mentalism routines. In fact\uff0c some are still part of Sean\u2019s corporate act! They include psychological convincers for people already working this kind of material\uff0c such as his additions to the tossed out deck. The explanations &amp; descriptions are very detailed. The essays are very good and most informative if you are trying to become a working mentalist. I\u2019m sure those who saw Sean perform some of these routines and lecture at MINDvention would not hesitate to obtain a copy. When one considers the prices of many one-trick DVDs and ebooks containing four or five tricks\uff0c MindStorms has to be the mentalism bargain for this year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sean Mergard said &#8220;Like all of the reviews\uff0c I was far from disappointed. Everything in the book is completely practical\uff0c easy to understand\uff0c and most\uff0c if not all are very easy to perform. Sean also takes a deep look into the business of mentalism in addition to discussing the performance aspect. This \u201cworth the cost of admission\u201d chapter at the beginning of the book is a precursor for the rest of the book. Most mentalism and magic products have one \u201cworth the cost of the product\u201d effect or idea between their pages or chapters. In Mindstorms case\uff0c however\uff0c every effect is a \u201cworth the cost\u201d effect. Not only is the book easy to understand\uff0c but Sean shares presentational ideas and additional methods to assist the reader in performing these miracles immediately. The cost of Mindstorms is just a small price to pay for copious time-tested\uff0c meticulously crafted routines and presentational ideas from a true professional of mentalism.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joe Atmore said &#8220;I loved your newspaper test! At first I was thinking it was a standard bit \u2013 but when you sat down in the audience\uff0c I thought otherwise. You had me guessing all the way up until the reveal. Very nice structuring to the routine. You had me when the spectator chose I think 10 and then the person on stage counted down and you weren&#8217;t involved at all. Being the kind of guy I am\uff0c I tried to work it out\uff0c but didn&#8217;t come up with anything satisfactory. Are you going to release it?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Magnus Mats said &#8220;Not often you find a book where you could use basically all of the material\uff0c but this book is such\uff0c and I like it extra because Sean is not just telling you the effects but also how he found the way to them and his experiences from performing and testing them. This can only be done by a Mentalist that really is an experienced performer and there&#8217;re few books around like this.Only one more thing to say\uff0c get it as you will not regret it!<\/p>\n<p>Barry Seeley said &#8220;This book is *GOLD!*\uff0c but I don&#8217;t want everyone buying it. Then the tricks become devalued\uff0c and I have to find another source\u2026 I told Richard not to mention the Newspaper Test \u2013 I want to use it myself! Hopefully\uff0c this will only be read by people who will treat this book with the esteem and value it deserves.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Greg Arce said. It&#8217;s a great book. Loved the pineapple effect.<\/p>\n<p>Andy Kershaw said &#8221; I wanted to congratulate you on your writing of MindStorms\uff0c having purchased a copy on Christmas eve.&amp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"eshop-cart-text-above\">PLEASE NOTE: This item is a digital download ,Gimmick not included<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sean Taylor \u2013 Mindstorms PDF MindStorms is the first hardback book from Australian magician and mentalist Sean Taylor.
