Description & Effect
Introducing 'Lost Souls' by Fraser Parker
'Lost Souls' marks a significant milestone in Fraser Parker's illustrious career, serving as his final physical book release before a full transition to digital material via a subscription service. This isn't just a collection of tricks; it's a meticulously curated compendium, where Parker delves deep into his private notebooks, updating, streamlining, and refining years of groundbreaking research. Within these pages, you'll discover alternative methodologies, polished concepts, and entirely new ideas previously shared only with a select circle of close friends. It's an essential journey for any mentalist seeking to push the boundaries of their craft.
Mastering the Ideomotor Response
One of the cornerstone sections of 'Lost Souls' unveils Parker's revolutionary work on the ideomotor response. Learn a never-before-seen method to reveal a spectator's thought-of color after a brief physical connection, such as holding their hand. The spectator simply thinks of a primary color, with the option to mentally mix it with another, and you're instantly able to pinpoint their exact choice. This powerful tool can be expanded further, linking colors to memories or emotions, allowing for deeply personal and impactful revelations.
Furthermore, Fraser introduces his non-contact ideomotor response, enabling you to divine a spectator's specific thought by having them merely hold their hand above yours for a few seconds. This technique is then ingeniously applied to perform a prop-less reverse name guess, where the spectator, guided by their intuition, accurately identifies a name you're merely thinking of. The versatility of these ideomotor principles is immense, extending seamlessly to prop-less star sign revelations, numbers, drawings, and symbols, and can even be utilized across different languages, freeing you from linguistic limitations.
Effortless Prop-less Revelations
'Lost Souls' also presents Parker's latest advancements in prop-less number reveals, leveraging his ingenious 're-frame' principle. You'll learn two variations that are the epitome of streamlined perfection. Gone are the needs for finger snaps or the spectator to overtly signal task completion. With just a few spoken words, the mental work unfolds automatically, creating an impossibly clean and direct revelation. This level of simplicity and impact is rarely achieved in prop-less mentalism.
Revolutionary Card & Advanced Mentalism
Beyond prop-less wonders, Fraser introduces a groundbreaking verbal technique to subtly force a spectator to think of a specific suit of playing cards. This occurs within the context of a seemingly random card selection, appearing as a genuinely free choice uninfluenced by common biases. The only subtle cue is a momentary pause during your instructions, subtly shifting the spectator's perception. This powerful, 'thought-of' card can then be used as the basis for different versions of the classic 'Any Card At Any Number' plot, with two compelling variations thoroughly taught in this book. Additionally, 'Lost Souls' explores Parker's acclaimed reverse PIN guess and his innovative two-way written out from 'Silent Poets', offering even more high-impact mental routines.
Original Specs
Lost Souls will be Fraser's last physical book release for quite some time, as he plans on transitioning to an entirely digital way of sharing his material with his students, via a subscription service.
In this book Fraser takes a look back through his notebooks and ties up various notions of his by updating, streamlining and refining various ideas, creating alternate methodologies, as well as finishing ideas which have never been released or seen before, outside of a small group of close friends. It contains entirely new work from Fraser as well as variations on older principles. Each of the methods taught will give you new ways to perform certain effects.
Included in the book is Fraser's never before seen work on the ideomotor response. He teaches you how to reveal a thought of color after making a brief physical connection with the spectator by holding their hand for a few seconds. They think of one of the primary colors and are given the chance to mix it with another color or to stick on their initial choice. The performer is then able to instantly reveal their thought of color or use it later on in another routine. The colors can be linked to other information, such as thought of memories and emotions, enabling the use of this tool to be expanded into different revelations.
Also taught is Fraser's non contact ideomotor response where he gets a spectator to hold their hand above his for a few seconds, whilst they focus on a specific thought. Fraser is then able to reveal this thought or use it to gain leverage in another routine. He goes into detail on how he utilizes this tool to perform a prop-less reverse name guess, where the spectator uses their intuition to guess the name the performer is merely thinking of.
Naturally, these ideas can also be applied to the prop-less star sign guess in interesting ways, as well as other categories of thought, such as numbers, drawings and symbols.
He teaches how you can utilize these principles in other languages too, so that you are not just limited to performing in the English language.
Fraser also teaches his latest work on the prop-less number reveal, which utilizes the 're-frame' principle. He teaches two variations that could not be any more streamline or perfect in appearance. There is no snapping of the fingers or the need for the spectator to tell you when they have finished a mental task. You simply speak a few words and the work takes place, automatically.
There is also a new way to verbally force the spectator to think of a specific suit of playing card. This happens within the context of the spectator thinking of a card at random. It looks exactly as it would if the spectator was given a genuinely free choice of playing card that can't be influenced in any way by commonly thought of cards, with the selection only taking a few seconds. The only difference between illusion and reality is the performer pauses for a few seconds, whilst giving their instructions, which shifts the perception of the spectator and those who you perform for. This seemingly free choice of thought of card can then be used to perform different versions of the 'Any Card At Any Number' plot. Two versions of the effect utilizing this premise are taught in this book.
Fraser also teaches his reverse pin guess and two way written out from 'Silent Poets'.
