Effect: A spectator is asked to participate in an experiment of stop-smoking hypnosis. She pretends to smoke an imaginary cigarette, and feels as if a real one was being used: she vividly visualizes its gray smoke, smells and tastes the tobacco, feels like coughing, etc... She then brings this invisible cigarette closer to her hand, causing a noticeable warming sensation; and when she finally decides to stub it out on her hand, she feels a sharp burn!
You can present the effect under any conditions: it seems completely impromptu and gimmickless, with the performer away at all times. | |
The sheer depth of thought that has gone into this presentation sets a new standard in magical writing. The Magician Magazine - www.repromagic.co.uk The most detailed analysis we have ever seen.

No pre-show, no prepping of spectators, no warm-up round (the effect can be used as an opener), no advance work, no preparation of the physical environment, no assistants, obviously no stooges (not even instant stooges); the effect can be presented on the spot for an audience of complete strangers, in virtually any conditions, from intimate performances in your friends living room to full stage shows. -
The participant is in full view at all times, and is never touched by anybody. No marks, no traces left. You start clean and end clean, with hands shown empty before, during and after the effect. No jacket or long sleeves required. -
No long scripts to memorize, no cheat sheets, no prompters, no convoluted plots. -
No real cigarette is ever lighted: the effect can be performed in non-smoking environments. A non-smokers version is also included. -
ALL outs are covered. -
Can be repeated immediately. | A phenomenal workMore than just an incredibly effective trick and a staggeringly good effect, this a doctoral thesis on performing. ?top-Smoking Mentalism?isnt just a keeper for anyone wanting a powerful demonstration of hypnotic ability; its a requirement for anyone performing in front of living, breathing people.
| Tons of techniques drawn from the fields of mentalism, hypnosis, magic, psychology, linguistics and NLP have been thoroughly explained and - more importantly - applied to the effect: from adjunctive suggestions to embedded commands, from secret gimmicks to misremembering (an entire chapter called "Thirteen Steps to Misremembering" is devoted to the subject), everything has been included. Independently from your current level of skill or knowledge, this detailed approach will allow you to learn faster and save years of study and experimentation, maximizing the potential of your presentations and making the difference between good effects and MEMORABLE experiences for your audience. This practical method, coupled with a masterfully-crafted script honed over thousands of performances, will allow you to deliver a fast-paced, audience-centered and "surefire" routine of killer hypnotism. | A fascinating book, between hypnotism and cigarettes.
