Don't you love it when your audiences' mouths drop open in astonishment! Isn't it wonderful when they think you are almost "spooky"?
In this two-DVD set, you'll see Richard Osterlind take mentalism one step further! Using props like crystal balls, pendulums, candles, spirit slates, and more, Richard has created a number of new effects that go just a little further! Besides being impossible looking, they are all...well...eerie!
Almost everything utilizes props you probably already own or ones you can easily make yourself. Many are impromptu and you can do them anywhere. The effects run the gamut from psychokinesis to thought projection, mind reading, spirit writing, and even time travel! There isn't a single routine that requires great skill or is beyond your ability to perform it. And, each one is designed to leave your audience breathless!
Any of these effects could have been sold separately for the entire price of this set! You get over 15 great routines as well as a lesson in advanced mentalism and presentation. As always, Richard not only shows you how to make your performance believable, but gives many alternate ways to present these effects and hints for great stagecraft!
You will marvel at how Richard can turn a well-known principle around on its ear to create incredible mentalism. You will also see how he can take a theme and build on it to make a totally professional presentation. With the material on these DVDs, you could build a number of separate acts!
If you are ready to have people step back when you walk by for fear of your powers - you are ready for Eerie!
