Say, his thread was sliding down to low - BUMP...
Ok, let me put a real comment down so this post isn't deleted... I am happy listening to what this effect can be that it won't be promoting any stigmatic portrayal of mental illness... I actually was worried that this would be the first product from Outlaw I might have reservations about... because of my day job... but it appears that the way the book works as something can be used to connect to emotions etc... that I can adapt it to be an empathy for the ill type of device... Which would actually be a wonderful thing. I just hope no one uses the thing for promoting archaic sterotypes of psychiatry, the mentally ill and so on... I plan to work this thing into something that not only gives a chilling experience but can enlighten the public...

My dad is a well respected psychiatrist and I look forward to performing this for him. I hardly ever perform any kind of magic for him as he is very analytical and so rather than enjoying the entertainment he tries to pick stuff apart.
That being said, I still plan to play up the archaic stereotype of mental health treatment at that time to create an atmosphere concurrent with what I imagine the book will look like. I believe this can still be done with respect to the fact that psychiatry is very different today than it was even 60-70 years ago. I hope that makes sense. |

My mother worked as a nurse in a mental health hospital for many years, when I told her what I ordered she almost hit the floor. She said this “You need to be very careful with this one son”. Then she said, make sure you show me this one first, maybe I can give you some hints for some good patter. Hehe

ONE of the presentations has the spectator "feel" what the resident has experienced emotion wise, and then think of their own experience with the same emotions.
You then become an "empath" and not only describe the feelings the spec is experiencing, you start to describe the situation that brought forth those feelings. With this book test Dr.Todd and I wanted the performer to have the ability to make the spectator a part of the "experience". What makes the presentation so strong and "emotional", is that many many of these people should not have been at Colney Hatch at all. In many cases, your revelation will reveal that the person they chose was not mentally ill at all, just a victim of an unfortunate series of events. Now, there are some darker characters that your spectator will clearly know should be in Hatch, and should never be let out. RR |

I'm sure there are some darker characters that should be in the Hatch that never got in

There is larger commentary on the social institutions of Victorian England, as well as hierachies in the medical profession with respect to the position that the nascent subdiscipline of psychiatry occupied, which in mnay ways contributed to doctors working at CH feeling deep resentment toward their colleagues and some of their patients. CH was a residual holding area for people for whom society had no immediate solution...the presentations in the manual capture this, but as Rick says, there are some people in the registry that should be there....

"In many cases, your revelation will reveal that the person they chose was not mentally ill at all, just a victim of an unfortunate series of events."
Now that's a hook for the impetus to going in in the first place...to discover the innocent...and along the way... "there are some darker characters that your spectator will clearly know should be in Hatch, and should never be let out." sweet.

Yep - the key is context - and I plan to use the book to talk about social injustice as well - although the sad thing is even in the 21st century, people that don't fit well in society are still often tossed either into the criminal justice system or the mental health system... it truly is sad. I work with youth that use substances and/or gamble.... I like to keep 'em out of modern versions of CH... which in the US are either prisons or posh rehabs that like to take as much money as they can... argh.
In any case, it will be interesting to see the final work when it lands here! Oh - for those who cared - it was HECATE...

Just the scripting possibilities are great.
Some truly disturbing things to consider. Jim

I am not sure I will get the book (just not sure it will fit). I am sure it is great though. I LOVED the video though.

Mr.Roth I am moving into a more light type of presentation.
Lots 'O' laughs and treats for the kids. But I have found that my brand of treats does give the young ones nightmares. And I have heard of parents who vuiw the end result of their lust as nightmares and desire quite places to place them. J ack H.O.A-X

There is now a photo of a rather innocent looking Patient Registry. The year was 1936. It is in fact a key, that unlocks the door to Colney Hatch.
Now you can take your audience inside the heart of darkness, and bring them back, unlike the residents of Hatch, who never got out. Photo up! Thanks for looking guys! Rick |
