Psychic Epiphanies (1-2) by John Riggs

Psychic Epiphanies by John Riggs (1-2)

In this collection...

I've assembled a series of effects designed for maximum impact through the use of strong premise and presentation. Many of them use standard effect you may already own. I've looked at several so-called "standard" items with a warped and twisted eye, and saw them in a totally new light --hence the term "epiphanies" in the title. This DVD is currently in production, in between shows and other projects. A partial list of the contents include:

THROUGH TIME AND SPACE TRANSPORTED: During a display of pychokenetic power, a signed, borrowed object travels nine hours back through time.

I AM--A REPRISE: Elemental powers run amok as you encourage audience members to help summon the sleeping spirit from within a piece of wood...leading to EXPLOSIVE results. If you like to hear them scream, this will do it.

PSYCHOSOMATIC BLISTER: I've held this one close for a long time. Through hypnotism and the power of suggestion, you raise blisters on the fingers of an audience volunteer.

DESIGN DUPLICATION DYNAMO: A tour-de-force presentation using drawings from the audience. First, three people make drawings and seal them in large, totally opaque envelopes, then mix the envelopes. You open two of these envelopes, do readings on the drawings, and return them to the artists. The third drawing, you reproduce on the outside of the envelope. Next, someone in the audience thinks of a drawing and you reproduce it.

THE LIVING AND DEAD BUTTERFLY: A living and dead test using the Butterfly Pad. New peeks!

NO PRESENTATION FOR OLD MEN: What's the most you've ever won or lost on a coin toss?

ME SO HORNET: From an unpublished Manuscript, an additional Q and A method that is extremely cool.

THE BLACK BOX COMPELS THEE: Inside a black box lies a prediction proving your omniscience.

And more, of course. This runs and hour and fifteen minutes.

In this Second Volume of what appears to be an ongoing series, John Riggs explores even more routines of psychic entertainment guaranteed to delight you, entertain you, possibly shock you, and will at least stimulate your creative energies.

Ghost Stories:
A tale of Psychic Investigation, where you show the uncanny manifestation of a restless spirit crying out for justice. It happens in the hands of an audience volunteer, adding to the eeriness factor. Marketing tips for implanting the idea of a s??ance show into audiences' minds. Also some additional ideas for spooky effects.

The Butterfly Effects:
Three routines and ideas from Mike Meadows, plus a couple of new ones from John Riggs, utilizing the Butterfly Impression Pad. Of course any Impression device will work, but we're biased.

Afterfaction:
A system for predicting a series of events which occur during your show. Basically, you produce a written prediction of all the free selections audience members made during your performance. You look like Nostradamus. When I've performed this, people have screamed, run from the room, and walked around in the lobby afterward talking to themselves. Yes, I have broken minds with this. You're so far ahead of people ther's no way of backtracking. The prediction can be in full view the entire show. It isn't Confabulation but something much simpler and very easy.

The Switchless Switch
A utility subtlety which will literally allow you to perform miracles, several of which are demonstrated, such as an impossible dictionary test, a think-of-anything reveal, make-a-wish, and a q-and-a application.

And MORE.
