My copy arrived yesterday. As with Mitox and Yokai I can see this is destined to become one of the must reads for mentalists. Not only are there some very clever and practical ideas but some wonderful insights into the performance, structuring and impact of mentalism.
Thanks Phill. This is a quality production and in more ways than one. |

Hi guys, I really appreciate hearing what you think about the book. I'm pretty sure that there will be a few hapless magi getting DBagged at Blackpool this weekend, wish I could be there to see the fallout!
Anyway, the book is properly available today, and the site updated. http://mokele.phillsmiff.com A few people have asked about doing a Yokai + Mokele bundle, I am still working on this for the site, but feel free to email me. Phill

I'm sorry for not posting here soon. I've been very busy and ill, but I received Phill's book and haven't even made it half way through yet. Not because its not good, but because I have to keep stopping to write up ideas that the book has sparked in me. I honestly think Phill's thoughts on props are enlightening and very well thought out, and I got two routines and touches to existing effects I do from reading it. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the book.

I dunno...
I just figure since I placed my order first everybody should wait until I get mine before they start reading. that sounds fair, no? k, everybody books down and I'll let you know when mine arrives.

That sounds fair Dave, everyone put a bookmark in and down books until the replacement arrives.

Phill, has once again, put out a book with some very creative ideas and routines. Each of his books has several items that make me stand up at attention. Great thinking!!!

As part of my therapy for not spending any money on stuff for the next 89 days... I thought I'd live vicariously through other people by encouraging them to spend money on some good stuff.
</hype mode= on> I can't believe there isn't more buzz about Mokele. Or maybe it's just workers who have it and they don't want to share. That I can understand. First of all, it's great to read something well written. And Phill's prose is not only easy to understand-- which is a feat unattained by too many manuscripts this days-- but it's clever and filled with humour. PLUS the guy illustrates the book himself!!! But that doesn't even talk about the effects, principles and thinking that is shared. Now I know Quinta was shared a couple of books back but there is some awesome applications of this principle including a super hands off Bank Night that deals with that effect's main drawback in a fun way. There's gizmos and gimmicks and self-working stuff... and stuff that requires some commitment on your part. I don't want to mention one thing that went directly into my act because I don't want anyone else to use it. Or the other thing that I want to use ASAP. And the I know that Essays are usually the filler we put up with to get to the next effect but Phill's essays are must reads. And in this book particularly the essay on design is fantastic and not to be skimmed over. There was an interesting thread on the Paul Vigil visit earlier this month which was about what we can do to become artists rather than hacks. I think there's a lot very practical advice in Mokele to take any performer a couple of big steps in that direction. Okay... enough... </hype mode= off> d
