For anyone interested in Mentalism, my good friend is releasing his new book called "Bairn" which is ready for Pre Orders.

I'm very excited because Ken has released some seriously good books in the past. One of them being "The Tell Tale Factor" which was my favourite.

This new book (Bairn) is jammed packed with new and exciting effects and ideas, 41 I read somewhere. Now that's a proper Mentalism book.

Ken Dyne is one of our leading modern Mentalists that actually works full time as an entertainer, so you will know that everything in this book has been tried and tested.

The book (Bairn) will be produced through Steve Haresign so you know this will be top quality and I believe that the book expected to ship in the 2nd week of September.

If you would like to know more info or Pre Order please click this link >> Bairn

Thanks Mike.

Bairn represents almost everything I have created over the past 9 years, since releasing my very first collection of routines.

Every routine has been tried and tested by me personally with real life audiences. I perform on average between 2 and 4 shows per week and have for most of this time, so I've worked on a lot of subtleties etc to make this stuff really work - all of which I've detailed in the book for you.

If anyone has any questions, please let me know Smile

A new book from a real pro.

This young man is a personel friend of mine but I tell it like it is.

If you want really well thought out material that plays well & offers emotional hooks, then look no further.This lad tests everything extensively and makes large sums of money actually doing the stuff at both corporate events and on cruise ships.

Again, a hell of a lot of talent for someone so young.

Also, no ego or aloofnes.

I hope this sells well for you my friend because I know the material is excellent.

Order's in Ken; can't wait to get it!

Spent some time with Kennedy whilst he was passing through Singapore, performing on board a cruise ship.

To be honest, I was slightly taken aback by his generosity in sharing his thoughts, ideas and routines with me - it was almost embarrassing that I didn't have as much to offer him in return. He even let me in on some of what's going to be in the book.

I know the book will be excellent!

As a friend of Ken I have been fortunate enough to see him grow and develop as a performer over the past decade. I can hand on heart say that he is an incredible talent and I already use several of his ideas within my own personal work.

I have also seen several of these pieces in action and the reactions are superb. This book proudly has a place waiting for it on my book shelf.

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!

Ken, is your handling of Ted K's The Bold and Beautiful prophecy in here or any of your other books? You mentioned on here several years ago that you developed a way so that the three people receiving the different predictions could talk and the dual reality wouldn't break down.

Thanks!

Perhaps be cautious about discussing methods here please 😄

We don't talk about dr here.

I agree, let's be careful about revealing too much. Our secrets and methods are sacred.

Revealing the dr principle here would be as bad as telling a layperson the QB is for bending coins.

Oh wait...

Jamie -

I welcomed you back to the Café with respect and friendliness elsewhere yesterday.

Oh gee - I guess you nailed me lol!

Hey Jamie, again welcome back from wherever you've been hiding for months. I don't like to lie to the TSA when I travel - just my perspective. Get a life dude.

On another note this Kennedy book looks superb and the word BAIRN actually means "Child" in Scottish (similar to the Norwegian and German word for Child, among others).

Yea, lying to the TSA is a touchy subject. I don't think one ever really wants to tell a layperson, but I don't think lying to the TSA is a good idea either. I think it might be best to feel each situation out. I also believe that Saysold1 isn't out to do harm, but rather to cooperate with some of the current hassles of modern day travel.

OK, back on topic.... I've got some of Ken's previous works, and I can say that I've been happy with all of them. Ken's definitely a very creative guy, and I'm really looking forward to his new release "Bairn". .....My orders in! .....Thanks Ken!

Exactly! Smile

I have to say that I am really annoyed with myself. Each week I receive a number of inbox messages here on the Café asking for my clean up for Ted K's Bold and Beautiful Prophecy. For some reason I failed to write this down ANYWHERE and some how this stunning piece of mentalism that Mr K created has slipped through the cracks and I have absolutely no recollection of my handling, nor can I work out what I would possibly do to clean this up.

So, that is not in Bairn. However there are 40 or so more effects that have lovely clean ups, some use minor dual reality, but the majority are almost old-school in their method. By which I mean most of the effects in Bairn don't rely on clever linguistics for their core method. Instead they rely on solid nuts and bolts methods that I rely on to work for your audiences every single time.

If you have any more questions please let me know here Smile

I'm delighted to see one of the younger generation who is proud to use old-school nuts and bolts methods to achieve his effects. DR and IS have became lazy cop-outs for creators who are unable to come up with an actual method to achieve their desired effect. The odd exception aside, most DR and IS effects are a waste of paper. Usually e-paper.

So good luck with this, Ken. I look forward to some unbiased reviews.

Ken, in case your own words help jog your memory, here is what you wrote in this thread
http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......forum=15
that got me interested in your handling:

"Max88, I would like to respectfully disagree. In terms of the rutine offered in Syzyzy as it is written you are absolutly correct, however I do perform the efefct and the three spectators may talk as much as they like afterwards and will still not discover the secret. This is due to a subtlety I add, with a bit of thought many can create their own."

I must confess, I've tried quite a bit to find a way to clean it up as you mentioned there, and I've gotten frustrated, as you made it sound so easy at the time.

I am not sure where it was, or whether it was via PM, but someone asked me if there are any card routines in this book.

The answer is that, yes, there are - and they are just as compelling as the other bits. The reason for this is that Kennedy approaches everything from the perspective of presentation first, and methodology second, and I remember reading one routine specifically and thinking 'BUT HOW!?!'

I'm genuinely loving this book.

Best,

Atlas
