Duct Tape Blindfold
by Kenton Knepper
Filmed live in several locations...
Kenton's own unique Duct Tape Blindfold Method fully revealed at last!
PLUS
Kenton's incredible Blindfolded Three Card Discovery with three free selections, found while blindfolded !
Details:
Kenton's unique blindfold method uses legitimate gaffer's or duct tape. This tape is universally acknowledged as the strongest tape known to man.
This can be performed entirely impromptu. No preparation of the tape. The performer can act as if legitimately blindfolded because the performer actually cannot see... until desired. The performer can be blind or see in an instant, at any time, without touching the blindfold at all.
This blindfold is as real as it gets!
The audience will wince and some nearly faint as the performer slowly removes the duct tape blindfold from his eyes. There is no doubt in anyone's mind that it would be impossible to see.
Now Get This:
NO Nose peeks.
NO Seeing through the tape.
The eyes, nose and even mouth may be taped (as long as there is enough of a hole to keep breathing easily!) and yet Kenton's Blindfold can still be used for:
*Drawing Duplications
*Determining audience members
*Naming number of fingers held up by a spectator
*Determining who is "Queen For The Day" or the "Guilty" party
*Unlimited routines and effects will come to you once you learn Kenton's secrets with his original Blindfold creation.
Unlike other versions, the performer can look straight down to the ground and Kenton's Blindfold will still allow the performer to see writing, people and more easily.
It's all very simple and direct - the sort of devious solution you would expect from Kenton.
Note: While this special blindfold has endless applications it is not suggested for use in a blindfold drive.
PLUS
Kenton's 3 Card Blindfold Location routine is tipped in its entirety for the first time ever.
This routine and original method has blown pros away for years. Kenton's secret was mentioned only in part previously, causing a slew of supposed creations and imitations by others who did not know the true secret. The result was inferior gimmicks and difficult moves never needed in Kenton's original work.
3 freely selected cards are shuffled into the deck, while the performer is legitimately blindfolded. The performer truly cannot see. The deck is actually shuffled and cut - NO false shuffles, finger breaks, etc.
Still... The performer finds all three cards, handing each to the proper person WHILE BLINDFOLDED, even causing one card to change to another's spectator's card in their own hands, while the original card ends up in the performer's pocket... all while legitimately BLINDFOLDED... and with no palming required!
This is pure Kenton. You can even name a card during the revelations, although no card is forced and you really cannot see the card. Yes, there is a gimmick, but it is easily made and Kenton's original method will clean up loads of other card work and card gimmicks you have purchased from others too. Combine this with Kenton's Blindfold and you can hand the correct cards to people in a row who mix themselves around freely too.
Get Kenton's ORIGINAL method and see for yourself why all other imitations never could come close.
Remember: This 3 Card Blindfolded Location is in addition to the explanation of Kenton's Original Duct Tape Blindfold method. You get the full work on BOTH the 3 Card Blindfold Routine AND Kenton's Original Blindfold Method on this one DVD.
Performers, amateurs, mentalists and magicians alike have been floored by these presentations. When they learn the inside work, they are even more impressed with the direct, simple and practical solutions Kenton has created.
We know you too will be scratching your head and then smiling a wry smile of glee as you learn at last...
Kenton's Duct Tape Blindfold secrets
(This is shot in live performance so you can see actual reactions. Additional information and applications are included. Priced to stay out of the hands of the common curiosity seeker.)
How strong is just the mere suggestion of duct tape as true security in real life? The U.S. Government issued the suggestion of using DUCT TAPE to tape up doorways to be safe and secure from a chemical attack!
Another example:
Question. Besides The Force from Star Wars, what has a light side and a dark side and holds the Universe together? Answer? Duct tape!
From a science store: "Nuclear physicists speak of five fundamental forces: weak, strong, electromagnetic, gravity, and duct tape."
These sorts of comments from daily life are in the back of the minds of audiences, continually suggesting that duct tape is the most secure material well-known and familiar to us. Imagine then how much more power there is in a blindfold of duct tape versus a cloth blindfold or unnatural metal one!
Kenton has taken assumptions and suggestion and made them his favorite blindfold. We think it will be one of your all-time favorites too.
This devious secret is simple and easy to perform. The power and believability of it however is beyond compare.
THE PERFECT AND BELIEVABLE SOLUTION FOR REALISTIC MENTALISM WITH BLINDFOLDS AT LAST.

Time Machine and Touches
by Kenton Knepper
A Kenton Classic come to life in living color at last!
Filmed live in several locations...
Kenton's Original Time Machine effect was first revealed to performers in rare lectures and workshops. It became a staple (still is) of Kenton's performances. Time Machine finally made it's way into Wonder Words... but few performed it until NOW.
For the first time ever Kenton has allowed the filming of Time Machine in action.
What is "Kenton's Time Machine?"
Completely under the performer's spell, the spectator thinks of a time to travel to in a different country.
She holds tightly to a coin from the U.S. and a more modern time, and then goes into a trance...
When the spectator snaps out of her trance, she is shocked to find she is holding a coin from the place she traveled to in her mind ... and confirms the date on the coin is the exact year she imagined !
Finally, everything you need to know about this Kenton Klassic at last.
But that's not all.
Kenton also included his devious ways of apparently making his spectator forget their own name - sometimes twice in a row! Yes, you CAN do it. You'll see for yourself once you learn Kenton's sneaky secrets.
PLUS
Kenton shows additional "touches" he uses when he performs his Time Machine effect. This includes invisible touches on the arm and head - in real time. No delays, no stalling. This is as direct as can be. For those wondering how it would look and play in real life - see for yourself at last! These secrets are essentials in all of Kenton's trance illusion and "Kentonism" performances. Now they can be yours as well.
You get the name forgetting sequence, Kenton's original hypnosis coin illusion as designed for television, Kenton's "Touched in the Head" and "Heightened Arm Sensations" - with no gimmicks whatsoever, and Kenton's Time Machine with touches not even explained in Wonder Words... fully revealed for the first time on this DVD.
You will see Time Machine performed live, with additional details and bonus work explained too. It's everything you could want and more so you can properly learn this effect and its many related sub-effects, all on one DVD. See and learn it live - as if you were right there yourself.

Card Warp Finale
by Paul Green
Performed at the Magic Castle
Magic Castle 2007 Close-up Magician of the Year
"In 1973, with a nod of appreciation to Jeff Busby, the innovative mind of Roy Walton introduced CARD WARP to the world of Magic. It too the community by storm. I can still remember the first time I saw Card Warp performed. It took my breath away! I loved the trick, but was never satisfied with my ending. That has changed now!
When I shared my handling with Roy Walton in 2002, he told me it was one of his favorite version of his gem. I promised him that I would only teach this to other magicians directly. Roy Walton has finally allowed me to share my routine with you via DVD. Now you can have my Finale to show your audiences with certain gasps of amazement.
This is my complete interactive routine, designed for the Strolling Magic performer. It is audience-tested. Use the whole routine, or add my Finale to your own routine. Your audiences will love it!" - Paul Green
"I've seen Card Warp. I've done Card Warp. Paul's setup and finish are fantastic. I look forward to applying these simple yet effective techniques to strengthen my presentation of this classic effect." - Bill Exley (Member of the Magic Circle)
"Sometimes when you thing there is nothing else you can get from an effect, someone comes along and proves you wrong. Paul Green and his handling of Walton's Card Wrap has done just that for me." - John Armstrong (Close-Up Magician of the Year at the Magic Castle)

Torn Too
by Daniel Garcia
Effect
From the mind of Daniel Garcia comes a torn and restored card routine that will make you smile.
"You've got a great smile." -- Daniel Garcia
A card is selected and signed.
You explain: Your "secret" is a small "CRIMP" you put in the card so you can find it.
You demonstrate: Your "CRIMP" is actually a hilariously large chunk that you tear off of the corner of their signed card.
You explain: This "CRIMP" allows you to cut to their selection "just by feeling for the missing part".
You confess: There's one small problem with your method... sometimes a spectator with "a highly trained eye" will notice the extra piece. With this, you pick up the torn chunk of card from the table and place it on top of the spectator's signed card.
You give the deck a couple of tiny shakes to position the CHUNK into place. As you wipe your thumb over the tear, the card is VISUALLY restored.
Immediately hand your spectator their signed card. It's COMPLETELY RESTORED.
Now take a moment to relax and enjoy and bathe in love. You're completely re-set for the next table.

McBloom: A brown paper bag is shown empty and an entire fast food meal is produced from it -- burgers, fries, napkins, soda, etc.. Stringing You Along: An impossible routine where the spectator shuffles the deck, cuts it into three piles and eliminates one. The procedure is repeated until only one card is left. The card matches a prediction, which has been in full view throughout the routine. Blind Complicity: You write a prediction on a Post It note. A spectator touches any facedown card and the Post It note is stuck to the selection and lost in the deck. A second spectator touches the face of any card, which turns out to have the Post It note on it. When the Post It note is unfolded it contains the name of the free selection. Fakir Royale: A board with nine nails holding hidden prizes is displayed. Eight spectators each pull one nail out and keep the prize that falls.
