Routines Include:
The Five Roads to Vegas: A great opener with lots of audience participation. You play the role of a Vegas croupier dealing cards to a "poker team" of five spectators. As you deal down cards from a shuffled deck, the five "players" yell STOP at any time. The cards they stopped at randomly comprise a royal flush. But wait... you have predicted which of the five players would stop at which of the five royal flush cards! And as an extra surprise, the other 47 cards in the deck are blank!
Three Numbers and a Lady: A "triple prediction" effect that solves the issue of the typical "weak" third prediction. There's a nice twist at the end that no one sees coming.
Coin-Seyan Economics: "Miraskill" meets Steinmeyer meets John Maynard Keynes. What starts as a funny lecture in Global Economics (yeah, really!), turns into a stunningly, multi-phase prediction effect. Great for stand-up and stage.
Drawing on Emotion: The drawing duplication effect that Michael uses in his parlor and stage acts. Can easily be adapted for close-up and walk-around. It is direct, clear and limitless. Above all, it is organic and doesn't feel like "a trick."
A Principle in Search of an Effect: A bare-bones prediction effect is used here to illustrate a little-used principle that has Gilbreath DNA. Readers are invited to turn their imagination spigots on high to make this a miracle.
Monopoly-S-P: "The cure for the common bored game." A fun mentalism routine right off your game shelf.
Self-Fulfilling Prophesy: Takes Bill Simon's wonderful "Prophesy" move to a new level. Not only is it sleight-free, but it is performed in the spectator's hands!
Three Spies and the Extraction: A performance piece that puts the "Self-Fulling Prophesy" in motion with a cool story about spies and international intrigue. Le Carre would appreciate the ending!
Absolutely ACAANY: A self-working "Any Card at Any Number" effect that received more highly favorable emails and comments than any other effect in the "Auto-Magic" column. As a bonus, Michael details THREE additional sleight-free ACAAN versions never before published.
Plus, two short essays reflecting on the Zen of sleight-free magic and Michael's opinions on why it is so important in the magic oeuvre, provide must-read bookends.
