Sean Waters – Ponderings

This comprehensive 50-page PDF ebook features six innovative effects and two insightful essays. “Ponderings” explores fresh methods of suggestion using cards, a routine inspired by interpretive psychology, a unique dollar bill effect, and an engaging “con” demonstration. You’ll appreciate the effects, but the true value lies in the deeper insights shared throughout. Most routines are suitable for both close-up and stand-up performances, with one designed as a theatrical piece that can also be adapted for intimate settings. These routines embody a philosophy of mentalism performance. Additionally, there’s a thought-provoking essay discussing the merits of “pure” techniques and the importance of pursuing them.

• Red-Handed – The most straightforward suggestive card force available.
• Washington DeCeived – A memory effect with an unexpected twist.
• HTP – A unique take on design duplication.
• K?nt – A fully mental presentation utilizing the K.E.N.T. method.
• The PC Principle – A powerful application of embedded commands, accompanied by an essay.
• Double Malt – A routine that surprises those who doubt its effectiveness.
• Why Try? – An essay highlighting one key advantage of “pure” methodology.
• Avalon – A coincidence brought to life, featuring conversational hypnosis.
