There's a script or control that is blocked from my vantage point. I get the book title and that's it. Are you using a Java or Active-X application that I need to allow?

Seems to be a problem with IE -- but then Firefox is better IMHO David |

THE CARCOSA COLLECTION PRESENTS “SOMNIUM TENEBRAE” B. Conrad Ballon A E-BOOK OF DARK DREAMS To provide for wishes of Children (To whit, the ICWF) The contents within being: FOREWARD By Ron Dayton INTRODUCTION THE DARK MUSEUM Conjuration of the Claw Tsantsachometry THE ORACLE A Dream Dinner The Key of Imagination Mental Fetch Mona Lisa Scream THE FLYTRAP EXPERIENCE QUINTET OF TERROR Beelzebub Winged Death Nitokris Origami Oracle Death Toll HEPTAGON Elemental Oracle THE DEATH TOLL SPIRIT BELL Does the world need another spirit bell? Sensitive Ring of Truth The Curse of Machiavelli The Hand of Balsamo Counter Service with a Scream Medical Mystery Mindgame Invisible Doggie Please Ring for Service Time is Up The Revelations A SAMPLE LETTER Summoning the Icy Dead from the River of Acheron ABOUT THE AUTHOR And here is the introduction to get an overview of the contents INTRODUCTION Greetings, friends in the mystery arts! Thank you for taking a risk and spending your hard earned shekels on this odd collection of some of my work from the last five years. I really only started writing up materials about five years ago after I felt I had some modicum of working theory, practical applications and real life experiences to be in a position to share some ideas. Although you will find the majority of the material the limitationists would call Bizarre Magic... almost all of it is based on the bones of classic mentalism effects and psychic entertainment methods. Anyone in the field of the mystery arts who actually studies it will know mentalism mostly grew out of the spiritualism movement – which is why mentalism still includes mediumistic stunts, living and dead tests, and so on. I believe there is no point in putting artificial limits on ourselves – we have enough real ones as it is. You’ll see from the beginning of my writings and onward I was trying to come to terms with my own style – coining the concept of a mizarrist. But in the end, I believe it also is too limiting. Although I do read extensively, the works of Robert Neale really helped me grasp being more a performer and educator regarding the realm of the mysterious... the shadowy world of the ambiguous. It was no wonder that the original Twilight Zone series is still my favourite show of all time! I know consider myself a Mystery Illusionist of a sort. Although no definition will ever truly capture what we do – which is part of the charm of our endeavours – we must try to have some signposts up ahead to let us know we are the artisans of the imagination – shaping our entertainment with the help of our audiences. I named this book SOMNIUM TENEBRAE since the pieces here are mostly dark figments from my imaginative dreams brought to life. There are a few light pieces too – but never too light... I like the shadows. The materials have been mostly kept the exact same way they first appeared except for a few exceptions. Some of the workings of the routines are shrouded still in mystery when the secrets belong to another. I have withheld the secret of the Flytrap which belongs to the fabulous Paolo Cavalli; the Tetrad Force of the redoubtable Patrick Redford; and the technical enigmas of the Death Toll Spirit Bell of the imagnineer Christopher Taylor. There are other items I make reference to as well with directions of where you can find out where to discover these amazing details. This book is mostly about presentation ideas and strange innovations to classic mentalism techniques... most of you in the mystery arts will already have your own pet techniques to substitute, fill in or modify to make any of these effects and presentations your own! I know some of the routines have been swept up for use – such as Death Toll from FLYTRAP and modified for real life performances – Lockerbie by Dr. Steve Murray. In fact, FLYTRAP was my first charity book project – I convinced Paolo to donate all the proceeds to the International Children’s Wish Foundation. There is something neat about writing tales of dark terror that results in raising money to help bring happy wishes to those needing hope. Speaking of dreams... The Dream Dinner concept was distributed back in 2006 and then I sent to ORACLE magazine in 2007. I still get kudos for that... seems to be a favourite of many – I didn’t like it as it was too light a presentation – but my wife did challenge me to make a happy presentation once in a while. In fact, I sent all my lighter fare to the ORACLE. Larry White & David Goodsell often added many extras goodies to my routines – like the Mona Lisa Scream – how to draw a Mona and a Scream. What you have here are the original materials sent in. I recommend that anyone serious about this art get the complete works of the entire run of the Oracle. I was proud they thought my material was good enough to be published at all! The Dark Museum pieces were accepted for Jim Magus’s amazing compilation in tribute to Doug Higley’s artistic works of nightmare. Amazingly, he also accepted my tattered meanderings for some dark conjurations, which you’ll read here. I also wanted to get the spirit bell monograph I composed for the DEATH TOLL SPIRIT BELL into a bit more circulation. The reason being you didn’t necessary need the DEATH TOLL Christopher and I worked on to apply a lot of the concepts for any sort of spirit bell, knocker, buzzer, rapping hand, etc. Might as well share!!! Lastly, as a big believer in collaborations for making our mystery arts grow and be innovative, I am sharing a couple of pieces I sent to Patrick Redford (based on a routine of his amazing book HEPTAGON) and a letter to Nefesch when we first starting corresponding a few years ago! I just wanted to point out I often get inspired working with people than in isolation. I hope someday I may collaborate with some of you reading this today to help promote the field! I hope you enjoy the readings ahead and that perhaps they inspire you to bring to life your own dreams! B. Conrad Ballon 2012 How to get it? $25 USD PAYPAL ONLY TO PM ME FOR THE ADDY OR GO TO http://www.CARCOSA-COLLECTION.COM and click on STARRY WISDOM TAB to find the info PLEASE PUT SOMNIUM TENEBRAE IN THE TITLE/MSG OF THE PAYPAL TRANSACTION (It was going to be $20 USD but I received so many PMs and Emails saying this should be sold for at least $75 USD, a compromise of bumping up the price to $5 was agreed upon by the Court of Carcosa) Please allow 24-48 hours to have your e-book prepared and watermarked with your identity. A CONTEST TOO AS the Carcosa Collection loves to have contests, the King in Yellow has decreed the following: TOTALLY OPTIONAL!!!! $25 USD will get you the book – however, you can put more towards the cause if you wish. The person who puts in the highest amount for their e-book will also receive one of the remaining copies of the play, THE KING IN YELLOW. Only 13 were made by the artisans at the collection, and this would be #8. Thus if you pay $26 for the book and everyone else paid the basic $25, you would receive the accursed tome! If there is a close runner-up, that person will receive one of the remaining ARCANA CARCOSA decks of which there are only 66. Again this is totally optional, $25 USD still gets you the e-tome! THIS CONTEST ENDS MIDNIGHT EST FEBRUARY 2nd 2012 If there are any winners, the names of the top pledge and runner-up shall be posted with the amounts that were given in the cause! Happy shadow shopping!!
