Paralabs – Secret Impressions

PDF

This book delves into the fascinating world of impression devices, primarily focusing on impression pads. Since announcing this project, numerous authors and creative minds from the mentalism community have generously contributed their insights and routines, making this publication truly exceptional.

Inside, you’ll discover contributions from notable figures such as Pablo Amirà, Dr. Bill, Thom Bleasdale, Elliott Bresler, Paul Brook, Scott Creasey, Iain Dunford, Simon Edwards, Jerome Finley, Jan Forster, the Group of European Mentalists (GEM), Thomas Heine (ParaLabs), Nico Heinrich, Dr. Todd Landman, Looch, Rainer Mees (ParaLabs), Bill Montana, Joshua Quinn, John Riggs, Marc Salem, Marc Spelmann, Paul Stockman, and Sean Waters.

We aimed to create an anthology of ideas that transcends any single type of impression pad. Routines designed for one pad can often be adapted for others, so we kept the content flexible and inclusive of various tools. You’ll find authors utilizing the Beautiful Butterfly, the Tommy Pad, the First Impression Pad, the ParaPad, and even custom-built gimmicks.

The book features a rich variety of ideas and methodologies. Some routines are straightforward, while others incorporate impression pads as a subtle element within a broader array of techniques. You’ll encounter innovative presentation ideas, theoretical discussions on the psychology of peeks, and philosophical considerations surrounding the use of these devices. The contributions explore design duplications, word revelations, and plots centered on influence and suggestion, showcasing diverse approaches to similar concepts.
