Boy there is a lot of new product out there at this time.. how is one to decide what to look at, what to try....
not more than a month ago did I take an unexpected untimely chance on Stefan O's "Mentalities"... but for a minute let me give you some background... I have been in magic for 50 years this year and for the first 48 effectively and successfully denounced and degraded anything to do with mentalism and mental magic (a distinction I have just recently come to appreciate). I would way rather make things disappear then pretend to read someone's mind..as if that could happen!!!) well call it old age (now 61) did I rearrange things and accidently only two years ago did I try this stuff especially with a comic slant and boy did my magic life change!!!. And at 61 I found that the props involved are way not so very heavy at all to cart around (schlep to my fellow ...). so in my search for inspiration and in my total ignorance of the subfield did I try a few authors and performers... so in a weak moment did I last month try...."Mentalities".....Ok so I was able to find Stefan on this site did I write him not ever wanting to admit to hero worship to any other performer ever did I simply extol the virtues of this dvd set... the work is just absolutely beautiful! Let me steal his thunder a bit these are 5 pieces which all or most have been used and refined for 15 years. Sure I have bought the new stuff from somebody just playing around and sitting in front of the camera to show off.. but this stuff really shows well ...versatile commercial somewhat easy or at least reasonable and all strong as hell and able to get by anyone. Ok so I told you my situation and this accidental tourist/purchase hit me right exactly at the right time in my mental magic development but clearly I can see it useful for many who may just want to dabble in this all. I don't want to review the individual items too much I would rather you see the trailer or the performance in any way to see the power of the pieces... a few random notes.... the first packs small and plays big and small a coincindental effect you can carry if you want... cute as anything.. he opens with it. a take off on Martin Lewis Technicolor ... but this is carryable and modern.. up to date. let me skip to his ending effect... a most powerful way to end and one that ends with the entire audiences's personal involvement... wow the power of this knocked me off of my seat/chair... hadn't done it yet but can't wait to ... no expense to it .. no real difficulty .. just the ending to any mental magic show. it is what I have been waiting for but just never knew it until I saw this... so the beginning and the end are here for you on a silver platter.. the middle well.. boy do I hate any card at any number tricks but his is ....just beautiful ... I just got all the parts yesterday and if you email me I will tell you a shortcut that will save you.... Ok so I have converted to this plot now and can't wait to show it.. easy peasy... a good time here to describe his work.. old principles updated to a modern approach.. no effort to be the mentalist.. just show mental magic with a great chance to comfortably interact with the audience.... you do magic and sigh.. here it comes.. ..entertain as well.... ACAAN for me once a curse now a pleasure. ok for the prediction... how about predicting the outcome of a few adults playing musical chairs.. wow.. so it may not suit you but cosmetically boy will it fit a good parlor show.... the idea is simply wonderful and so I get away from insulting or ridiculing my specs this one puts an easy spotlight on them with a children's game that doesn't hurt the spec;s sensitivities or sensibilities... and it is easy too. we all really search for something that plays well that might not always be hard to do. and lastly in no particular order ... he uses a hangman game to put tension on the probing questions he asks.... turns the tension on him more as specs answer..and of course he never gets hung and is always right with some degree of callback patience written in to make the show even more powerful at the close...look to the dvd or write me separately and I will tell you a bit more of this powerful manipulation of the crowd at the end. Ok so I am not an expert at this line of thinking.. I only found this one guy who has performed his stuff for more than 15 years and uses older ideas in a modern package to make the show....relevant. I can't ask for anything more in my search for a new performing identity. I am looking to construct a mental magic show for some motivation messages to show in the regional corporate world here in the southeast (so if you are anywhere else you are ...safe!). these five pieces are all way above the grade of usable and will so blend in with my plans. So even though I am going through this stage and this work has accidently hit me right I encourage you to take a look at it ... I sure have the thousand of dvd's like you have but this one suddenly is distinctively special for me and I hope maybe ...for you. am available for quiet questions by personal mail so as not to give too much away...this is S's life work and only the serious should be given any extra clues.... He is a "new" creator that deserves respect and to my mind some recognition. Sincerely submitted, Marty Shapiro Greenville, SC |

Major distributors other than publisher Mystiqye Factory cannot get this DVD for months... this must be great
Most memorable moment - with Maestro Juan Tamariz & Consuelo Lorgia in FISM Busan 2018.

Well... you can get them from me
http://www.stefanmagie.de/mentalities.htm As far as I know, they are distributed by Murphy's, so most dealers should have them in stock or restock them in case they really are sold out best Stefan |
