ADD A DASH OF PAPRIKA…

Paprika is a collection of carefully crafted techniques, subtleties, and ideas designed to enhance your mentalism performances. Each piece offers a new way to create deeper connections, evoke stronger emotions, and turn your routines into unforgettable experiences. This is an exploration of how to bring beauty, meaning, and a touch of mysticism to your work.

What’s inside:

Heart Touch (Expanded)

A transformative subtlety that turns the simple act of thinking of a loved one into a deeply emotional and poetic moment. Also included are motions and scripting that allow you to turn this subtlety in a full presentation and reveal. It’s time to begin reading hearts, not just minds.

Heart Touch (Alternative)

A variation of the above, with all necessary scripting included.

Heart Touch (Psychometry Finale)

If you’ve ever given readings by simply holding onto the personal items of audience members and interpreting the energy that surrounds them, you now have a show-stopping finale that’s even easier to execute than the readings themselves.

The Bridging Of Worlds

Step beyond the surface and into the unseen. The Bridging of Worlds explores connecting your inner reality with your participant’s imagination, creating moments that feel mystical and otherworldly. This chapter explores the art of shared visualisation, where your words guide participants into vivid, immersive experiences that linger in their minds.

Smoke Signal

Smoke Signal is where The Bridging of Worlds comes to life. This routine puts the principles of shared imagination into practice, guiding participants through a surreal experience where their thoughts and your actions intertwine. Using nothing more than vivid storytelling and subtle suggestion, you’ll create a shared vision between yourself and your participant. Combined with stunning poetic scripting, a simple billet peek becomes an experiential ritual of shared imagination.

Side Effects

What if your performances left more than just amazement? Side Effects teaches you how to layer your routines with subtle suggestions that create unexpected, seemingly magical phenomena.

Nudges

A discussion on the art of using physical methods and hidden props that seamlessly blend into your routines to encourage the onset of genuine suggestion. In this chapter, Lewis shares how he causes participants to literally notice the scent of roses in the presence of a spirit, and how to create the illusion of actively playing with pieces of imagination in the physical reality.

Psychic Friend Finder

For times when you need to select more than one participant. This propless, self-working method allows you to uncover who amongst the group or audience shares a psychic or telepathic connection with your current participant. All you have to do is remember what to say, and your audience will do the rest.

Create A Shadow

Learn how to channel your creativity and become your own source of inspiration. This chapter reveals how to find magic in the darkest corners of the mind and bring it to life. Lewis also explains how to create an archetypical figure, or shadow, that you can step into, embodying the energy, confidence and presence of your own design.

The Soil Drinks Deeply Of Sin

A cinematic, theatrical piece of psycho-magic that binds participants in their own guilt before guiding them toward self-forgiveness and emotional release. This is Lewis’ thoughts from Create A Shadow put into action, highlighting his thought process and demonstrating the practicality of the approach. In this example, imaginary tree roots emerge from the ground and bind the ankles of a participant, physically holding them in place until they’re able to free themselves through self-acceptance.

Paprika is propless seasoning that can be added to your mentalism performances, which may of course already involve the use of props, and techniques not taught within these pages such as billet peeks. The purpose of this ebook is to enhance your performances with new textures and flavours, elevating your art to a whole new level.

Whether you’re crafting moments of intimacy, guiding participants through emotional healing, or simply adding layers of beauty to your work, Paprika is your guide to creating mentalism that matters.
