Additionally, you’ll discover my techniques for incorporating dramatic realism and the use of wonder words.

This book features:

• Cana: Convince your participant that their glass of water has transformed into their favorite beverage.
• MIDI: A spectator hears their favorite song through unplugged earbuds—no expensive gadgets or Bluetooth required.
• The Placebo Effect: A unique take on the amnesia card plot that creates a visual hallucination for your participant right before the audience’s eyes.
• David: Use the power of suggestion to freeze your participant in place, rendering them immobile.
• Now You Don’t: Make yourself invisible to a spectator while engaging in playful antics right under their nose.
• Sever: A new hypnotic induction that results in a stuck hand, allowing you to transition into any hypnotic routine of your choice.

These effects will help you craft a truly magical experience using just a few “prose and cons.” I hope these routines inspire you to create your own mental miracles.

“Having recently been introduced to the mind of Thaddius via his ‘Everest’ effect, I was eager to explore his latest work. Once again, Thaddius has delivered a brilliantly crafted manuscript filled with clever routines (my favorites being ‘Cana’ and ‘The Placebo Effect’). I’m sure other readers will enjoy learning these secrets as much as I did!” – Michael Murray

“Thaddius Barker has consistently provided incredible material over the years. This book contains gems for seasoned pros. The cleverness of the first two effects will bring a smile to your face. There’s a principle here that I absolutely love! If you’re not a hypnosis-oriented mentalist, trust me, audiences will appreciate it, and it plays theatrically very well. Incorporate a few of these ideas, and you’ll see your audience’s perception soar. Just get it.” – Warren Thackeray ✯

“Thaddius exudes sophistication and elegance, and it’s evident in his work. His mentalism is both refined and deeply impactful! In ‘Prose and Cons,’ he takes concepts from Kenton, his students, and myself, and elevates them beyond what I thought possible. The first effect convinced me that this book would be one of my favorites this year. Thaddius’ passion for mentalism shines through in the meticulous detail he invests in each piece. He is undoubtedly one of the leading creators of our time, and if you’re serious about enhancing your mentalism with just your words, this book is essential. Let me be clear… I don’t want you to buy it; I want these secrets for myself, but if you don’t want to miss out, add it to your cart. You’re welcome.” – Lance Sinclair

“‘Prose and Cons’ is one of my favorite types of mentalism books, filled with thought-provoking ideas that will inspire you to develop your own routines.” – Robert Watkins

“’Prose and Cons’ is a collection of hypnotic plots and routines that don’t require actual hypnosis. If you’re new to the subject, you’ll find plenty to enjoy, setting you on the path to exploring more performers’ offerings. For seasoned practitioners, the layers of thought and method in Thaddius’ routines will bring you joy. I appreciated the read, though I found it necessary to revisit some sections for clarity. Investing time in the choreography of certain effects is worthwhile. Thaddius’ interpretation of the amnesia card plot elevates it to a new level.” – Steve Wachner
