Hi,
Could anyone recommend what books or effects to purchase that deal with re-creating a seance? Sorry if this has already been asked before, many thanks Paul |

How about the book, "Seance"?
It's a collection of all the old Seance Magazines. It has some pretty cool stuff in it. Randi |

There's also Doc Hilford's $1000 Secret Seance and Rick Maue is selling the last of his seance manuscript. I second the book Seance that randirain mentioned. It's got a ton of good information in it.
Sorry to bring it up but if you do a search for "seance" you will find 148 pages of interesting information. |

Can't go wrong with Jim Magus's "Raising the Dead For Fun & Profit."

I second the "The Bigger Book of Boo" and the collected "Seance" magazine.
I was let down with Doc Hilford's $1000 Secret Seance. |

Brother Shadow's no prop seance booklet is a classic, Carlyle sells good stuff and even has a training class [from himself an old time pro]. Already mentioned were Seance by Scott Davis, Manifestations by Lee Earle and Bigger Book of Boo by Lary Kuehn - all three are excellant - also don't overlook Kaufman's reprint of Invocation which is a mix of various forms of bizarre magick including seances and spirit magic. This kind of material used to be much harder to find.

Spirit Theater by Eugene Burger.
Beware of this and that.

Numerous visits to Spiritulism churches and Medium shows coupled with a basic knowledge of magic will yield excellent results as well as ideas to work with .

Definitely Spirit Theatre and Seance but also have to add "The Book Of Haunted Magick" by Rick Maue. I have this one and have read it a few times over.
O.K. here are some more that I have read or heard of. 13 steps to mentalism by Corinda. Has a whole section on Seance goodies. Try Brother Shadow’s Have Séance Will Travel. Here is one if you have a hundred dollar budget that looks super cool! The Book Of Spirits Séance Limited Deluxe Edition by Rick Maue http://www.deceptionsunlimited.com/boss.html Anabelle's Erotic Seance by Anabelle. Please note that this one is for adult audiences over 18 years of age. It is available at: http://www.eyesandminds.com/seance.htm Don't forget about Dixie Dooley's DVD "Seance With Dixie Dooley" http://www.penguinmagic.com/product.php?ID=918 Here is an ebook all about seance magic from Darren Brown Seance The Spirits Awaken http://www.subliminalpersuasion.co.uk/Seance.html Here is Doc Hillford's gem (Note: I have not actually read this one yet) The $1000 Secret Seance by Docc Hilford http://www.ronjo.com/magic/1000SECR.html I forget who wrote this one but it is called Manifestations and is available at: http://www.magicsupply.com/product.php?p......038&js=y Steve Bryant's book "The Little Egypt Book of Ghosts" http://www.magicbookshop.com/product_inf......id=14409 This book, How to hold a Séance, is a very short to the point book on how to quickly and easily hold a Séance anytime and anywhere. http://www.lulu.com/content/2149958 Well that's about all I can think of for now. I know that The Tarbell course by the great Harlan Tarbell has some interesting seance effects but I can't for the life of me remember which volumes. Hope this helps, "The Spirit of Tony Chris"
As magicians we create what onlookers call magic. If they truly believe in what we have created for them to witness then magic is real!!!

Hi Tony,
I looked at that site you mentioned, Subliminal persuasion. "Here is an ebook all about seance magic from Darren Brown Seance The Spirits Awaken" It's rather a shabby affair really. It's a site which purports to reveal how the effects in Derren Brown's acts are done. It's not his site in fact they boast that they've been contacted by Derren Brown's represtentatives and been threatened with legal action. Whether or not they really have is irrelevant. They are trying to raise the profile of their product by linking it with him and marketing their product as an expose of his work. Here is a quote from their site: "This book created such a storm that a representative of Derren Brown tried to have it banned before we'd even sold a single copy!* If you've seen the TV shows and been amazed with incredible Mind Control feats that seem to defy explanation, then you're going to love this book. We reveal the secret combination of magic, psychology, suggestion, & subliminal persuasion that create the mind-reading powers that Derren Brown uses. *A representative of Derren Brown contacted us to say "If the book is ever offered for sale, we will take legal action" & "we shall seek blocking the book from all other retail outlets with immediate effect." I don't mean to have a go at you. Please don't take any offense. I don't usually rant at people about the ethics of our profession. These people, Subliminal persuasion, aren't really behaving in the most honourable fashion though are they? Neal |

Looking at the contents of the book I really don't think that Derren would give a s**t, its really poor ,basics in fact .

Hi Neal,
Its all interesting indeed. Actually I didn't know anything about subliminal pursuation's website until now. I just found them a few days ago from googling amidst my search for a very particular bizarre effect and noticed they carred Darren Brown's offering. No offense taken. Tony
