Hi,
Have been a fortune teller for many years and know it can be applied to straight up fortunetelling, but have never used the pendulum for mentalism. Can someone recommend some reading material as it pertains to mentalism effects? |

PENDULUM POWER by Richard Webster available from him or through Doug Dyment's site http://www.deceptionary.com/
Richard also has a video called THE PENDULUM VIDEO produced and distributed by Flora. There are numerous effects and ideas in Bascom Jones' MAGICK also compled as THE COMPLEAT MAGICK (4 volumes) by Collector's Workshop, but these are near impossible to get hold of. If you can track tyhem down, they are well worth the price (when I bought them as they came out, they were $155 each volume, I have seen them go for as much as $500 each at auction). Tony |

Max Maven likes to throw in a pendulum effect from time to time (or at least used to.) There's a nice one in PRISM called, I think, "Pendulum Power" or somesuch. It's a group PK effect that I really like.

The 'Beyond ESP2' cards have a routine using a Pendulum which is done by the spectator (this has worked for me 99 per cent of the time) This is very strong to the lay person.

Hi JoeMagician,
It's worth looking into buying Bob Cassidy's ebook - The Pendulum of Fate. It puts a new/novel twist into pendulum effects for mentalism. He also includes a good explantion of the basic principles and explanations of pendulum dowsing etc. I bought it as part of his $100 for ten x e-books deal last year and I recommend it. Hope this helps, Stephen. |

John Riggs has some nice ideas I seem to remember. Can't think of the source off the top of my head.

Webster's "Pendulum Magic for beginners" is also very good, for those just starting out.

This is a soft bound book released for the public. checl Amazon.com for more details, or New Age book dealers. No effects in this one, just the "real deal".

Used a pendulum in conjunction with a two person telepathy act.

At the end of his book..Brad Henderson's The Dance has a routine using a pendulum in it. I think effects with the spectator holding the pendulum has a lot of punch to it.

On The Amazing Kreskin DVD there are very nice pendulum effects. I know you asked for reading material, but on the DVD you can watch a master mentalist doing this stuff.
