Whilst not normally a practitioner of the bizzare genre of mentalism I have long had an interest in it. As a huge lover of telling stories and tales it opens up a whole new "gateway" for routining possibilities.
I have found myself in a possition where I will be performing at an intimate venue for a few dozen people in a parlour type setting. I wish to theme my half hour spot around the Fox sisters and wanted to encorporate a routine which involved the spirits answering a series of questions by knocking on the table (or similar). Sadly I do not have perfect control of the muscles and ligaments in my feet and toes to replicate the noises produced by the fox sisters so was looking for an alternative to this. I came across "Dead Rap" but wondered if there were any other books or related material which would allow me to learn other techniques to produce these noises (ideally of an impromtu nature if possible). Many thanks for your time in advance. Best Wishes Michael
As a mentalist you must always ask yourself what if! And throughout your life you should seek to ask and answer this question over and over again, only then will your wildest dreams become a reality!

Sounds very interesting, keep me posted.
I have a bluetooth remote and am going to try getting a high quality mp3 recording then tape my phone under the table to see if that works. I may invest in Dead Rap if I cant find anything else thar will work. I wish to produce the raps from the room I am in, at the table that I am sat or standing next to. My original intention was to begin by giving a pesudo explanation whilst I am sat at the table then later have unseen questions answers and thought of information revealed (the latter I already have methods for).

Dr Q had a method using hands, and ed fowler's medium grip would also give you certain advantages too...
Plus the Sounds Amazing gimmick...

What about the OLD trick of using the chair that you are sitting in? I would explain it, but it would be exposure. You can be tied up and yet, ...........

I have a dog clicker so will experiment with that. Iain I will certainly look up Dr Q's method, is this listed in a paricular book?
Ray, if this technique is taught in a book I am happy to invest too! The more methods I have to explore the better Thanks for the info thus far

I think the Fox sister story had clicking sounds??? I am not realy fimiliar with the whole story and details. That is the only real reason I suggested something like that.... I personally would want a deeper knock or rap. I think also a presentation like this would be neat to bind your hands above the table and possibly feat to the legs of a chair. Again not sure what you may be going for here but just throwing out a few 'what ifs'

Well we are tucked away safely into the bizarre thread...so we should get no feedback like that
Personally too, I might use the Fox sisters as a starting point but venture off into a few different story lines with other people. But then again it all goes back to venue and context.... I feel like just the knocking or clicking sounds might be interesting for only a short amount of time. |

Much appreciated to all, the context of my performance is firstly going to be a discussion, with me suposedly giving a deminstration with pesudo explanation as to how this is achieved (I am planing on being sitted at the table and going for
Snaps here claiming I am using muscle control to produce the noises to some basic questions). The intention is to then to deepen the experiment and suggest that due to the methodolgy at play genuine thoughts could not be revealed...then the table will take control and do just that. Revealing names, numbers and more (the specifics of the latter are already in hand method wise (because I can do that ha ha). Thanks again Michael
