Mental Magic of BILL MONTANA Vol 1 by Bill Montana

This book features fifteen expertly selected pieces that, while simpler to learn than Bill’s signature mentalism, are equally astonishing. Many of these effects are staples in his performances. For instance, “Copper Lion” showcases an incredible psychometry effect under impossible conditions, while “The Devil’s Musical Sound” and “Incombustible Linen” will elevate your presence to that of a true spiritualist!

Imagine astonishing your audience by making a borrowed coin leap atop a borrowed bottle, without ever touching either item. Then, pass this incredible mental feat to a spectator who will use it to bend a coin!

Speaking of money, have someone place a dollar bill—or even a five, ten, or twenty—down and watch their astonishment as the bill seemingly recognizes you as its new owner by rising toward your outstretched hand!

While “THE MENTAL MAGIC OF BILL MONTANA” may not be “The Bridge,” Bill’s revolutionary dream induction technique that redefined mentalism, it is still a remarkable journey. The book includes “The Door of Opportunity,” a method to transform elements of a person’s daydream into reality!

This is just a glimpse of what awaits you in “THE MENTAL MAGIC OF BILL MONTANA,” accompanied by rich insights into the process and history behind each effect. Bill shares the inspiration for his ideas and details how he has adapted older pieces, ensuring meticulous crediting. Few recognize that Bill is not only a creative genius but also a dedicated scholar.

And here’s the exciting part: this is just Volume 1 of “THE MENTAL MAGIC OF BILL MONTANA.” You don’t need to be psychic to guess what that implies!
