Tarbell 57: Slate Mysteries Part 1 (Instant Download)

Discover innovative slate presentations utilizing contemporary props in this engaging lesson. The concept of images appearing on slates has a rich history, and now you can learn fresh techniques that breathe new life into this classic method.

We begin by revisiting this vintage communication tool, which surprisingly remains effective. Your audience will select a destination and a renowned figure, leading to an initial mix-up that resolves perfectly.

Next, I’ll reveal a clever method for matching a serial number on a marked bill, featuring a brilliant technique from Al Baker alongside my own unique twist. You’ll also master the art of instantly drawing any famous landmark chosen by the audience, despite both boards being initialed to prevent any tricks… or so it appears.

By adapting slate techniques to cards, I’ll visually recreate one of my favorite sci-fi concepts: psychic paper. The boards take center stage as a humorous response transforms into a surprising revelation, a selected symbol materializes on its own, and another choice mysteriously remains unerasable.

Additionally, I’ll introduce you to a clever mechanical board that will elevate your performance, making you appear as a record-setting mathematical mind reader. If you believed slates were limited to seances, prepare to be astonished by the diverse possibilities showcased in these Slate Mysteries.
