Embryos by Paul Prater

Embryos is a remarkable collection of routines by Paul Prater, showcasing eight years of stage performances. This work goes beyond mere routines; it offers insights into crafting a cohesive show by weaving in themes and concepts. Paul shares valuable marketing strategies and tips for optimizing performance space, while candidly discussing both triumphs and pitfalls to avoid.

The routines primarily focus on stage mentalism, infused with elements of the bizarre, featuring unique presentations, dark themes, storytelling, and even sideshow acts. Many routines can be adapted for parlor or close-up performances as well.

Every routine is thoroughly detailed, complete with full scripts, historical context, and comprehensive explanations. Understanding that performance is a visual medium, the book includes private links to performance videos, allowing you to witness these routines in action before live audiences.

Whether you’re a newcomer to mentalism or an experienced performer seeking fresh perspectives on classic techniques, this book offers valuable insights for all.
