Tarbell 32: Ghostlite Mysteries

Unleash Practical Poltergeists for Professional Performers.

This lesson introduces a groundbreaking technology that has become a staple in modern magic: glow-in-the-dark paint. In the 1920s, magician S.W. Reilly pioneered an exceptional luminous paint called “Ghostlite,” which he cleverly utilized in various magical performances.

While contemporary audiences may not be astonished by glowing effects, the right execution can still deliver delightful surprises. Many of the effects incorporate luminous technology in clever, concealed ways, and sourcing the necessary materials has never been easier.

I’ve restructured the original lesson, transforming a collection of standalone ideas into a seamless routine. This comprehensive performance piece can significantly boost your earnings during Halloween or any occasion where you want to showcase something unique.

You’ll discover how to gauge your spectator’s psychic abilities and invite spirits to join the fun. Watch as a ghostly apparition reveals a chosen card sealed in an envelope, along with a portable, self-contained version for easy transport.

Experience the thrill of animating a glowing piece of chalk that delivers a personal message from the other side, signed by the spectator’s selection. Additionally, a spectral hand emerges from the shadows to retrieve a hidden item, visible only in the dark.

I’ll also guide you in creating other peculiar manifestations, including a mysterious specter poised to spring from the most unexpected locations. As a bonus, learn techniques for summoning spirits under “test conditions” while being restrained.

Every detail is meticulously explained, including how to construct the ideal table to perform the entire act solo, without the need for extra assistants. Get ready to explore the thrilling world of practical poltergeists designed for the professional performer. Experience the excitement that awaits when the lights go out!
