The Prodigal by Atlas Brookings

Most of us have seen those shows on television where someone takes something to a flea market or rummage sale, only to have an expert with a trained eye come along and see through all the age, dust and patina that comes with neglect to discover a hidden gem — a priceless and coveted item.

All too often in Mentalism, the method is not what we expected or wanted it to be. As a result of our perceptions, we walk away and leave it behind. Over time, it is forgotten and gathers dust until one day, some expert comes along and shows us just how amazing this little item truly could be if it was polished and lovingly repaired rather than cast aside, scorned, and esteemed as naught. Only then has our true appreciation been won.

The Prodigal was written with the sole intention of demonstrating the value of one misunderstood and much maligned method, and offers glimpses of masterworks that can be built with it.

It offers a true demonstration of pure mental powers — void of pencils, scraps of paper, envelopes, gimmicks, or any of the accompanying apparatus that walk hand-in-hand with other effects and immediately serve to trigger skeptical reactions in our audiences — suspicious that they are being deceived, just unsure as to how.

The Prodigal examines the method by which you can create pure, direct mind reading – miracles that can be performed whilst in a straight jacket, with no props at all if you so choose.

The Prodigal offers you strong, convincing Mentalism in its purest form.

155 pages long, this softbound book offers up a number of strong close-up and stage-worthy mind reads, bolsters performance material based on psychological forces, offers methods of performing impressive, ungaffed book tests, and outlines a means by which actions taken in radio studios or corporate headquarters hundreds of miles away can be accurately revealed. Better than all this — it establishes a creative platform upon which you can expand and create your own distinctive feats!
