THE BLURB:

“More usable material packed into this small 42 page book

than most works three times its size…”

This is a collection of highly practical performance

material from Kenton, his friends and Students that you

won’t want to miss.

Here are some of the effects in this amazing compilation.

One Card Killer by Pablo Amir?

A single card in a single envelope (really) is given to a

participant to hold. Another participant takes a playing

card suit from an invisible deck of cards and stops on a

card as the performer deals them (even though the cards are

invisible). The card stopped upon is the one predicted in

the envelope! Just when you thought you knew everything

about Kenton’s Kolossal Killer this amazing new routine and

method will blow you and audience members away. It will fool

even those who have the original. This alone will be worth

the price of the whole ebook for many.

Die-Fecta by Danny Proctor

A participant is asked to draw any number of spots on the

drawing of a die. This is a completely free choice. The

participant and audience are stunned to find that a die in

full view from the start is made with this same number of

spots ON EVERY SIDE OF THE DIE. No die switch. Another

option is the performer does a design duplication in which

the performer draws THREE SIDES of a die and gets most if

not all the numbers on all three sides correct as a design

duplication.

To add to all of this, a realistic explanation of subliminal

or subconscious influence is exposed, and it just might be

legitimate! This method allows for great freedom of choice

by the participant and the performer as to how it is

performed. Available are a combination of methods and

options, all very direct and easy to perform. This is not

theory but a working piece of realistic, fast paced and

stunning mentalism from a modern act.

Impromptu Intuitive

Scott Brown came across a concept that others have

discovered and applied it in ways that got demands from the

Vegas crowd for him to sell this secret to them. Instead of

a single download effect you get what Scott has been doing

in this ebook.

A borrowed and shuffled deck is used. The performer removes

a smaller portion of the deck and has a participant shuffle

these cards. The participant deals the cards into two piles

after shuffling. While the participant seems to find it

difficult to guess which cards in their own pile will be red

or black, the performer can guess 100 PERCENT CORRECTLY the

cards in his or her own pile. Oh, and the participant

chooses which pile the performer gets too.

Three Card Pile Up

This is Kenton’s wild expansion of the previous effect and

principle. A participant shuffles a small portion of cards,

say twenty or so. The participant deals the cards into three

piles, and the performer never touches the cards. The third

pile the participant puts in their pocket as a “control

pile.” The performer writes down on paper what the performer

feels is the order of the color of cards dealt in the first

pile by the participant. The performer does little better

than chance, but tries again. Remember, this can be a

borrowed deck and the participant shuffles and deals the

cards. The second time the performer writes down his

impressions about all the cards in the second pile at once.

Oddly the performer gets many of these intuitions correct,

and misses only two or three cards. This is beginning to

look like real intuition and that practice pays off.

Now comes the unbelievable ending. It turns out that the

performer didn’t miss any of the cards the second time after

all. The performer has named the color of cards and their

exact position hidden away in the control pile in the

participant’s own pocket. This is as twisted as it gets. A

very realistic version of the red/black intuitive card plot

with real cards that is different.

Intuition Key

Another wonder by Pablo Amir? allows a person to perform the

classic Seven Keys to Baldpate without key switches, with

the participant examining everything, and with the

participant handling EVERYTHING. Not only that, but all the

keys are tried by the participant themselves, and the single

working key is also tested by the participant alone. Only

after this, with the performer not touching anything after

giving the person the proper key, the participant mixes and

then chooses the correct key…thanks to an altered state.

NO, the participant is NOT in on the working and is as

amazed as the rest of the audience. Yes, the participant has

an entirely free choice. No, the lock is not a trick one.

Best of all, the working is simple.

The Emperor

This is Kenton’s version of Brother Shadow’s “The Empress” A

large set of images are shown freely and members of the

audience shuffle segments of the images to be sure the

images are entirely random. Three audience members take

portions of the shuffled images and imagines stories using

the images they have.

The performer begins almost instantly to tell the stories

and reveals the images each participants hold. There is NO

PUMPING or guesswork. The performer is correct about it

all…until the end.

The performer misses one of the images in the last person’s

selection of imagery. Not to worry…It turns out this image

was predicted and sealed in the envelope held by the

audience member with the missing image from the start –

before a single image was ever revealed.

This is so much easier than what anyone has imagined. Leave

it to Kenton to make this type of a routine so easy and

direct.

Change of Taste by Danny Proctor

Three participants choose three different candies and eat

them while the performer turns away and hides or blindfolds

the eyes. The performer is able to discern WHAT EACH PERSON

IS TASTING and confirms his intuitions with the audience

before the participants admit the performer is correct.

Not only that, but the performer changes the taste in the

last person’s mouth by changing what he writes on a sign or

board! This is real Kentonism in action that is guaranteed

to work…direct from the act of a young modern performer.

Remote – ACAAN by Rob Chapman

A deck is rubber-banded and sealed inside a card case. A

participant is the “referee” and holds onto this box.

Another participant is put into a trance and names a card

and then a number. The referee opens the box, undoes the

bands securing the deck and counts down to the number the

other person has named. Sure enough, the card named by the

other participant turns out to be at the number called out

in the deck held by the other participant! Apparently

intuition may be increased when an altered stated is

induced.

Get The Lead Out by Scott Brown

Working and living in Las Vegas Scott Brown performs for

working performers and has to fool the toughest audiences.

In this effect Scott performs a form of Banknight entirely

impromptu using blank pieces of paper, drawing a fake one

hundred dollar bill,
