Description
Mark Elsdon opens the doors to his vision of mentalism in a unique and revealing reading experience!
This book contains all the Mark's secrets since 2010. Through 55 chapters, you will discover all the notes he has written since he converted to mentalism:
how define your character, how to become a memorable mentalist, what equipment choose, how to act in this or that situation….
An incredible mental journey
In Unlock, you will find experiences that are worth a look: Quizz Master which uses cards from the famous board game Trivial Pursuit, Memorization, one of Mark's signature routines on the theme of prodigious memory or Antique Roadshow where you will be able to predict in advance the price of any object!
Finally, Mark reveals for the first time his Decibel Vision experiment in which your psychic friend is able to reveal the thought card over the phone. The mentalist plays NO role in choosing the card, dialing the number, or talking to the psychic. The performer is never in contact with the psychic, before, during, or after the show.
In short, this experience alone is worth the price of the book!
High-ranking contributors
Unlock is full of secrets but also of contributors! Mark has called upon the most creative minds in magic and mentalism to create a sensational work.
You'll find contributions from: Michael Weber, Chris Carter, Lee Earle, Sean Taylor, Chuck Hickok, Ran Pink, Drew McAdam, Jasper Blakeley, Thom Bleasdale, Scott Grossberg, Luke Jermay (with his devilishly effective Ballon-ollogy concept!), Ken Dyne, Stuart Nolan, Richard P. Slater, Atlas Brookings, Bill Abbott, Paul Brook, Roddy McGhie, Tom Bennett and Jeff McBride!
