I was asked to contribute to some book by both these two gentlemen.
Because at this point in my life there is so much going on with me that I don't have time to create some new effect just for them, but - at the same time - I am always in line when I can help a fellow human being, anyone who will send a donation equal or superior to $50 to one (or both) of these two gentlemen, will get two e-books from me. These are past books so be sure you don't have them already. You can ask for any book you like, no limit of choice - but they must be 2 and not more. Also - if Nathan and Bill have nothing against this thing, which I have not told them I was going to post here - they must send me the names of people who have contributed money to help them- I cannot and don't want to force you to choose which one to help if you only can help one - not my place to decide on your behalf! I'm not getting any financial reward out of this. I do this exclusively to help two fellow human beings in need.
Then you'll rise right before my eyes, on wings that fill the sky, like a phoenix rising!

Dr. Bill is having some medical issues, it's taken him away from his professional career as a therapist.
There is a wonderful e-book that contains many contributions from top thinkers in our field. There's a banner in "Latest and Greatest" forum The proceeds are going to Dr.Bill. Luke Shield is one of the major forces behind this great project and effort to help our friend Dr. Bill get through this rough time. |

In the list you can also include OLOF, INTO THE WHITE, GETTING A-HEAD and any other SINGLE effect I have published.
But that's only for PUBLISHED stuff... X Rays has not been officially published yet (although some guys had some unfinished copies given to them!)

Thank you so much, Paolo, for your generous participation that adds whole new levels to Companionage. And I mean the theme, not just the book! Your effort exemplifies its spirit.
I started to write up a bit about each contribution to the ebook Companionage to put on site but it rapidly grew out of proportion. So instead, I'll put a bit here and a bit there over the next couple of days. Here is the first bit, covering the essay/tool section (and one piece that defies easy categorization): Within the contents of Companionage also exists an unreal assortment of essays and tools. Chuck Hickok leads the pack without hesitation, providing six essays from his last three books, Mentalism Inc., Mentalism Inc. 2 and Thought-full Telepathy. Chuck suggested three that he thought most vital then let Dr. Bill choose three more. If you’ve read these, you can only benefit from reading them again and if you’ve never come across these tight and brilliant analyses of our craft you are in for a first class education. From the original old Curmudgeon himself, John Riggs, comes The Power of Negative Thinking and Other Curmudgeonly Thoughts. John takes to task some of the most insidious of new age positive thinking psychobabble while keeping true to the heart of what really matters. Short but masterful. What would life without John to keep our heads on straight be like? Don’t even want to know. OK, now for a couple that might be missed for their full benefits. First comes Millard Longman’s First Contact. While designed for sales training, including marvelous tips on the famous elevator speech and maintaining equality at all levels with phone communication, Millard’s 10 + page treatise on these matters is equally valuable to the mentalist marketing him or herself in a variety of circumstances. It will take a little reading between the lines and flexibility to substitute “mentalist” for “sales professional” but this is an incredible tool for self use as well as training and sharing with others. As typical of Millard’s work, it comes straight from the heart and exemplifies his own beliefs and practices. Then an ebook within Companionage from master mentalist Ron Martin! This is really exciting and is called Three Steps Toward Consciousness. You are hereby challenged to read this without having your consciousness raised; it is simply that powerful. Almost 50 pages long, Ron shares a presentation he has given professionally for many years that has an immediate and intense impact on all who listen to his words of wisdom. It can be presented as is in full or broken into distinct modules to deal with specific issues in our consciousness challenged world. This is an outrageous resource on so many levels, full of teaching tales, exercises and metaphors to take the brain to new levels. And last but far from least, comes Energetic Wave and Thinner from the brilliant mind of performer/healer Jerome Finley. This truly crosses lines between essay and effects but seemed to fit here best for descriptions sake. 20 pages in length, Jerome gives you techniques to immediately access states of intense beauty and peace with a single person or an entire roomful. These are the developing masterpieces he is known for that transcend what we call magic and mentalism but can still be used to enhance a favored effect. The material within is completely unique and unsurpassable. References are made to others of Jerome’s body of work, some no longer available and some still within reach. No matter; Jerome gives you all you need and more to transform experience with a confidence that will impel you to put these techniques to work. Within are formats that cannot fail while you build up your confidence to take further risks and grow both personally and as a performer. HAPPY THANKSGIVING AND MY HEARTFELT THANKS! |

What a great display of generosity. I'm in.
I have a question, Paolo's work is universally hailed as excellent but from my brief search it appears that he writes for experienced working pros. As a beginner I'm wondering which two of his books I will get the most from, if not immediately then perhaps when I'm a little farther down the road. Can anyone give me any guidance? Many thanks, Rocky

Psi and Will both make good points and Rocky's question is the utmost of fair. Just so hard to answer! Paolo always manages to mix it up quite nicely so there will be something for everyone, particularly in his larger tomes.
Rocky, you just might have to share more about your experience and interests. PMs might be the right way to go. It isn't that Paolo is an acquired taste, rather that there is so much fine material to choose from! In any case, I'm going to continue with my expansion of the contents of Companionage, in case you don't already have enough to think about: Stuart mentioned on another thread that he is already having success with Gerard's "Pure." No surprise to me. Since Stuart so neatly broached the subject: From Andrew Gerard, "Pure" is a new and unique psychological force. Gerard says his hit rate with this is 85% on a regular basis and provides some interesting ways to handle exceptions. Typical Gerard lateral thinking prevails! Gerard also invited a couple of his friends to join in and you can only imagine what that means! First comes a name familiar to most of us, Patrick Kuffs. Patrick includes his "Reflections on a Challenge," which is deceptively informative. On the surface, a get out of jail free card, there is much, much more in terms of the refining the psychology of handling difficult audience members. Gerard’s second friend, a name new to me but not soon to be forgotten, is Will Tsai. His "One and Only, the Chair/No Chair Routine" is a perfectly charming and immensely deceiving combination of old and new principles. I’m glad to have made this new friend and so will you all be! A true chair routine (yes, this time with actual chairs, not to mention live musical accompaniment!), "Lord of The Dance," is offered by Tony Eye. It plays for major entertainment without sacrificing mystery. And as is typical with all of Tony’s fine work, LOTD is worked out with precise attention to all the details needed to choreograph a great routine. Elliot already chimed in on the same earlier thread where "Pure" came up, about a version of "RPS" from Bev, so allow me to continue. Bev is wonderful old friend Julian “Bev” Moore, in case there is someone who doesn't know this brilliant thinker by all names. He has two takes on what we in the US call "Rock/Paper/Scissor," each with their own particular strengths. One with stooge, one without and both devious and deceptive. I can't resist; take out your hands, a fun change of pace is afoot! Just getting a hold of an effect by Bruce Bernstein is a coup! But what an effect! "Bernstein’s Bet" is an update of something previously published but streamlined into a state of near grace. Yes, a deck of cards is involved but, perhaps more important, the audience becomes a second deck “in play” while a sum of money (the bet) is predicted in a way that shifts focus from a drawback in other handlings of this devious principle and transforms any such concern into greater strength. "Bernstein’s Bet" hits them before they know you’ve started swinging! Deddy Corbuzier comes in strong with 3 effects. There is a great new update of a classic add-a-no force, "I-Call," that makes perfect sense in this modern day and age, his own "Freewill Roulette" as performed on his television show in Indonesia and his previously published "Freecall," used for another fundraiser for St. Judes. This is a standout routine that was very well received and is very flexible with many variations possible. For me, the a large part of the power of Christopher Taylor's work has always been his ability to transport us to exotic environments with but just a few well-placed words. He does so again with the utmost of charm in "Hun Dun Undone," combining Taoist legend with an old word principle, disguising it in way that randomizes the procedure beyond all recognition and with perfect logic. Entertaining and easy. Next Christopher returns with a “twisted” ending applicable to a variety of booktests in an effect from his Linking Ring One Man Parade, March 2004. All inclusive, "Liar," is completely improved with a different, far more flexible and logical subtext, using an optical illusion rather than words for its mode of transporation and never fails to engage and catch the audience by surprise. And one last time, "Yeah Luke!" I'm beginning to believe he's triplets. Back later! |
