Entropy Dropping by Jan Bardi ( Instant Download )

Exclusive Digital Magic Products for Magicians

“I find ‘Entropy Dropping’ an amazing piece of work. Jan creates a world of new possibilities and I doubt anyone else could have tackled the topic as thoroughly. Every nuance is addressed. Many applications are covered. Accompanying his explanation are dozens of routines. Being a card man at heart, I was especially attracted to the four-card magic chapters. Great inspiration all! I envy Jan’s clarity and how painstakingly thorough he is in explaining the material and creating so many effects. I know how difficult that can be. All the charts and cribs are beautifully rendered, and there’s something here for every mentalist.” – Leo H. Boudreau

Triggered by a recent quantum thermodynamics insight, Belgium-based celebrity mentalist Jan Bardi starts out with an underused hands-off approach for “Out Of This World”-like effects with a small number of objects. The method exploration quickly diverges into a multitude of unprecedented applications with items and act plots rarely associated with Paul Curry’s celebrated card magic masterpiece.

Seemingly just following their intuition, your volunteers will mysteriously separate not just playing cards, but also words, dice, business cards, drawings, crime scene reports, poker hands, terrorism suspect lists, toy objects, gift boxes, astrology charts, wallets, ESP symbols, lottery forms, card decks, poems, eggs, and even other spectators.

The text offers much more than just routines where a volunteer appears to intuitively sort items in two groups orderly, without you ever interfering with the items. You’ll also physically prove that four-leaf clover brings luck, teleport a chosen playing card from one deck to another in fourfold, recite a poem to have your audience materially travel back in time, and more. “Namecaster” details an intriguing self-working love oracle, that automatically foretells the name of your volunteer’s next romantic interest. In his guest contribution “Order Out of Chaos” in the final act chapter, ‘binary magic’ pioneer Leo Boudreau takes the idea in still another direction.

The acts for close-up, living room, and stage settings are a mix of newly developed ideas and existing stunts from the author’s TV and live performances. Despite their diversity, the effects mostly share a common trait. They typically allow for a 100% hands-off “volunteer as psychic” presentation, where the performer without any prior contact guides innocent spectators through the act from a distance, leaving them at climax time as mystified as the rest of the audience.
