TO THE POINT

You’re in Japan. Strolling around Yamanouchi in your finest desert wellies, feeling like John Travolta when suddenly you notice a troop of snow monkeys staring at you.
You wonder what they’re staring at, concerned they might kick off with you. Then you look down at your feet and realise that you’ve committed the cardinal sin of fashion.

CERTIFIED MENTALISM

Certified Mentalism is a book written by the intrepid explorer Mr Paul Brook (no e and definitely no s!)
Explorer you say?
Don’t get too excited; His middle name’s not Dora and I don’t think he’s searching for the lost ark.

AFTERGLOW

Afterglow is either:

A glow remaining where a light has disappeared or a pleasant effect or feeling that lingers after something is done, experienced, or achieved.

That’s odd, I thought Afterglow was that feeling you get after being Tompinated?

CINEMATIC

The staff at my local Halfords aren’t the friendliest of people. Approaching them was a bit like being confronted by a gang of football hooligans, so I opted to just buy an inner tube and do it myself!

FRANKIE

First there was The Alchemist, I’d heard some noise about how good it was, how the creator was this mythical figure, almost like Tyler Durden.
The name Kaleb Wade was being pimped out to us all by Bazz of Black Cat Magic.

FRASER PARKER LECTURE

Let me be perfectly honest here:

I’ve never been a massive fan of propless mentalism. So why on earth would I go and see a lecture by one of the pioneers of this style of mentalism?

RANDOM ODDS

No bill switch! No setup! A BORROWED bill, borrowed phone, and borrowed deck. A polished reputation-maker with layers upon layers of deception.

Derek has worked hard to mix methods so that this is not just deceptive, but also packs a huge punch when the final climax is revealed. This isn’t just a closer, it’s a show stopper for the close up and the parlour performer. This is Random Odds.
