Exclusive - Mind Coaster by Sean Taylor (Digital Download)
Description & Effect
Elevate Your Mentalism with MindCoaster
Sean Taylor, one of Australia's premier corporate performers, brings you 'MindCoaster', the highly anticipated hardback mentalism book. Following the phenomenal success of his 2008 release, 'MindStorms' – widely hailed as a landmark in mentalism literature for its depth and practicality – 'MindCoaster' continues this legacy, offering a fresh collection of material honed through years of professional performance. This isn't just theory; it's a meticulously crafted compendium of commercial routines and insightful essays designed for the modern working mentalist. Sean's commitment to detail means every routine includes multiple variations and directions, ensuring you're prepared for any performance scenario.
Practicality Meets Professionalism
Forget expensive, custom-made props. 'MindCoaster' champions practicality, demonstrating how astonishing mentalism can be performed using everyday items readily available at your local office supply store, with only a few thin cards as an exception. This philosophy empowers you to perform high-impact routines without significant investment or complicated setups. Beyond the impressive effects, you'll find fascinating essays packed with Sean's wisdom on improving your performance, adding layers of depth and professionalism to your act. The entire book, spanning over 200 pages, is a masterclass in audience engagement and psychological impact.
Unforgettable Routines for Any Audience
Dive into a diverse array of effects, each polished and perfected for maximum audience reaction. Imagine presenting 'PsyConFabulous', a modular confabulation adaptable to any theme, executed without forces or double writing. Or 'Fully Loaded Magazine', where spectators freely choose a magazine and page, only for you to reveal an 'avalanche' of specific information – a true testament to Sean's ingenious methods. Engage an entire audience with 'Lucky Strike', a macro effect culminating in a 'millions to one' prediction. Experience a modern take on a classic with 'ONE', where a freely imagined card appears in an empty, spectator-held envelope. Challenge even the sharpest minds with 'Fourthought', a baffling card routine where you locate chosen cards from a shuffled deck even with your back turned. And for stage, 'LOTTO' offers a mind-reading lottery prediction closer for up to six spectators. These, along with a 3-envelope test, a Q&A, additional close-up material, and the 'Pro-Envelope Plus' (an advanced development of his 'MindStorms' two-way envelope), provide a comprehensive toolkit for any serious mentalist. 'MindCoaster' isn't just a book; it's your next level in mentalism.
Original Specs
MindCoaster is the hardback mentalism book from Sean Taylor; one of Australia’s top corporate performers. Sean’s first book MindStorms was released back in 2008 and quickly became one of the most recommended books for the working mentalist, described by many as being one of the best releases of the past 20 years. MindStorms was heralded by workers because of the years of work that had clearly gone into the material.
MindCoaster features commercial routines straight from Sean’s current working repertoire and fascinating essays on improving your performances. Following in the same vein as MindStorms, absolutely nothing is left out and the routines have multiple variations and directions. What’s more, aside from a few thin cards, everything you need comes from the office store. Here are just some of the highlights.
PsyConFabulous – This modular Confabulation is a current feature of Sean’s act and is adaptable to a wide variety of situations. If you like to theme your show, this is the perfect way. No forces, no carbon, no fishy double writing and it’s remarkably easy.
Fully Loaded Magazine – Free choice of magazine, page and piece and yet you reveal an avalanche of information in an uncanny view through the spectators own eyes. Freakishly clever ‘special’ magazine which you make up yourself. “You are a genius” – Marco Fida, Italy.
Lucky Strike – The whole audience is eliminated one at a time for a fun, macro effect that finishes with a prediction which is quite literally millions to one.
ONE – One card, freely imagined, appears in an envelope shown empty and held by the spectator. This Shaxon classic get a modern makeover and you won’t leave home without it.
Fourthought – Shuffled deck is split fairly into 4 piles. 4 Spectators remove a card from their piles, mix it back and assemble the deck whilst your back is turned. You find all four with ease. This has fooled some of the greatest minds in magic.
LOTTO – Using Lotto tickets from your local news agency, this stage routine allows you to read the minds of 6 spectators for a perfect Lottery prediction. Sean’s current closer.
Pro-Envelope Plus – A Clever development of the 2 way envelope which appeared in MindStorms.
Add to these a 3 envelope test, a Q&A, some more close-up material and performance essays and you have more than 200 pages of solid working mentalism and mental magic.
