Ebook - Gary Sumpter and Alakazam - Shivers (Digital Download)

Unleash the Power of the Unseen with Shivers

Step into the intriguing world of mentalism and Bizarre Magic with 'Shivers,' an extraordinary ebook from the creative minds of Gary Sumpter and Alakazam. This digital download isn't just a collection of tricks; it's a profound exploration into creating truly chilling and unforgettable experiences for your audience. 'Shivers' delves deep into the psychological nuances of perceived touch, invisible forces, and apparent paranormal activity, ensuring your performances leave a lasting, goosebump-inducing impression.

Mastering the Invisible Touch

At the heart of 'Shivers' lies a series of groundbreaking effects that defy explanation. Imagine a spectator whose eyes are covered, yet they distinctly feel touches on the back of their neck or head. This is 'Susceptible.' Envision asking a seated spectator to close their eyes, while you stand far away, only for them to feel your hand gently stroke their shoulder – a phenomenon known as 'Relax.' Further push the boundaries with 'Distant Touch,' where a simple gesture from afar elicits a clear sensation of being touched. Or perhaps 'Focus,' where a spectator feels an unseen force pushing them from behind, despite your hands being in full view. These meticulously crafted illusions harness the power of perception and suggestion to create truly mind-bending moments.

Engaging Routines and Visual Wonders

'Shivers' doesn't stop at individual effects; it provides you with complete, compelling routines ready for performance. Explore 'Connected,' an 'experiment' in paranormal communication that takes an unexpected turn, leaving spectators questioning reality. Delve into 'The Crying Child,' a disturbing performance centered around the spirit of a young girl, designed to evoke deep emotional responses. Beyond full routines, Sumpter and Alakazam offer 'Visual Occurrences' – brilliant ideas to seamlessly weave into your existing acts. Learn how to make a dead match 'Burn On' by sheer will, or witness a borrowed finger ring mysteriously move and shake inside a 'Ghost Glass,' acting as an impromptu spirit bell. Even the concept of 'Unaware' events, where phenomena occur without the performer's explicit knowledge, is explored to add layers of mystique.

The Effect
I wont say too much， I'll let the contents page do the talking... 

Introduction 

Who and where? 

Ideas and effects: 

Making Contact - Harnessing the power of touch 

Susceptible - The spectators eyes are covered with your fingertips. Despite them being able to feel your fingers， they feel touches on the back of their neck and head. 

Relax - A spectator sits down and closes their eyes， you are watched by a group of other spectators. You stand well away from the spectator on the chair and you ask the spectator to remain quiet and in a moment you will ask them a very important question. You silently stroke your shoulder a few times. You then ask the spectator if they felt anything， the comments that they felt you stroke their shoulder， despite you being nowhere near them. 

Distant Touch - Standing well away from the spectator， you gesture towards them and they feel you touch them. 

Focus - One on One， the spectator feels something pushing them from behind， despite your hands being in full view. 

Routines: 

Connected - An 'experiment' in paranormal communication that takes an unplanned turn. A lighthearted attempt at making contact with the spirit goes off on a diagonal as things leave the performers control. 

The Crying Child - A disturbing performance， centered around the spirit of a young girl. 

Visual occurrences - not effects on their own， but ideas to weave into existing routines. 

Burn on - A dead match lights just by willing it to. 

Ghost Glass - A borrowed finger ring is placed inside a small glass as an impromptu spirit bell. At any time the ring is seen to move and shake inside. 

Unaware - Events occurring that you are not aware of. The power of ignorance. 

If you like this kind of magic， you WILL like Shivers!
