Cheers Harrison!
My good friend Mick DJ was at the same festival playing some folk music and said he heard of a man who was making the moon change shape! I kept my mouth shut obviously! Glad you are using the effects fella, cant wait to see your presentation of it Cheers, Art

Hi art,
I am really intrigued by the routine taught in this ebook. I have a few questions though regarding it, and naturally Im cautious due to the price. I hope you can answer them 1) I have been performing mentalism and bizarre magick for a few years now, though I am not familiar with element manipulation at all. so would I be able to fully learn and perform everything taught in the ebook? or is the skill level to perform very hard? 2) can this be used just as well for close up (1-2 people) than on stage for a crowd of hundreds? 3)You state above that the spectator really does SEE the changes happen, but can this work for everyone? or as kin to say a hypnosis subject, only certain more suggestible people are more effect for this routine? thanks in advance! kindly, Jordan |

Hi Jordan, thank you for your interest, I will try to answer as best as possible.
1 - The skill level for this is advanced. You will need to be experienced in suggestion and relaxation techniques for this to fully work. 2 - This can be done for 1 - 2 people however I do this as part of a motivation and self help effect as part of a 1 day course/ 3 - Not everyone will see the moon change shape/colour etc... It is a very advanced form of suggestion & waking hypnosis mixed with some natural phenomena that occurs with the moon to give the illusion of everything happening. Obviously we all know the moon cannot change shape, colour etc...... The spectators will see it happening though. There are some methods in the ebook that do not use suggestion but the main effect uses a mixture os suggestion, the moons own weird phenomena and other optical phenomena I hope this helps Art

Thanks for the reply Art, yes that does help to clarify!
I think at this stage, this material is not suitable for me and use in my shows, so il have to pass for now. Very fascinating routine though, would love to see it in action! thanks again, Jordan |

I have to admit, I'm totally green on the subject of manipulating the elements, and I'm looking at this like a dog at a new pan. It's not that I can't visualize possibly how such an effect could be accomplished, but rather that I can't visualize how it could fool people.
I think part of my problem is that I got burned years ago by Ben Harris' "Hole In The Head" Somebody help me out, here.
The difficult must become easy, the easy beautiful and the beautiful magical.

Hey daffydoug,
I can see how you would feel you got burned and the situation you'd find yourself in now. Have you read Devin Knight's & Jerome Finley's book on Cloud busting? It's quite a good place to start, but you'd already know that even if you haven't read it yet. One thing that book made clear to me, however, was that to "fool people" is the wrong mindset. It's not exactly the old cliché "it's all about presentation" that I'm wanting to repeat, but with these acts the framing is immensely important. As a seasoned performer you would have probably guessed that already though. You can't really perform it as a "magic trick" (at least, that's how I feel) but are practically forced to present it as something more to A) make it have impact and B) making it able to "fool" people (by not obviously fooling them). Thinking about it now, I can't really give you this one sentence or explanation that would "help you out there" but may I say that this stuff *does* "fool" people very much. Maybe, even though you got burned, you should give it another try with some new material - the cloud busting book is very much recommended; Art's new work is good, too, although the cloud-book might be a better place for a fresh start. You recognized your problem, you asked for help - just do it and give it another shot mate, you'll quite likely like what you'll find ! On another note: Art's book is cool and some ideas will be a welcome addition to my repertoire. Didn't try them out yet but will get a chance tomorrow night, hopefully - I'm quite excited. Best of luck, Timon

So, some magicians can find playing cards using magic (?) Some Mentalist can do mindreading feats If you get "The Moonlight Shadow" , now you can manipulate the elements... Anyone interested in SERIOUS establishment of shamanic abilities, deserves to check this work. Indeed, with this information, you will be able to create your own cult, and of course, an UNIQUE moment for your audience and participant. EVEN if you never perform the routines that Art teaches in this eBook, the paradigm of performance that you can extrapolate to your own work can improve any Mystery Performance that you offer.

The Moonlight Shadow by Art is not an effect. It is truly a transcendent experience, a connection with a superior phenomena. Magic and Mentalism in all its glory.
