Progressive Aggression By Lance Norris
The Ad Copy: Culled from his personal files, Lance Norris once again tips the secrets to what has made him America (if not the world’s) foremost Rock and Roll Mentalist. Included are six progressive anagrams and ideas to help make them your own. Imagine no wires, stooges, batteries or tearing paper up into little bits! Just straight work. And a bonus guide to some special ciphers that will help you keep this, or any of your handiwork safe from prying eyes. WARNING: This is not material that you’ll be doing right out of the box in your mother’s kitchen tonight, but if you put in the work, you will find hidden in here a walk around, stage, or God forbid; even radio effect that will serve you for a lifetime. I really enjoy Lance’s works. He has a sense of humor that I get; he speaks his mind and jokingly slaps the reader around a bit. If you want to be coddled, this isn’t for you. And word of warning, there is a small bit of adult language, if that offends you, you have been warned. And did I mention Lance speaks his mind? This manuscript was a fun read, not only did I learn a new technique (I call it the Oscar Acosta technique), I read 7 different presentations, I learned a bit about Shakespeare, the original, deadly use of a particular musical instrument, there is a memory lesson included, and the book concludes with a section on ciphers. The Oscar Acosta technique makes it impossible to forget or not know what to do; the memory technique taught is perfect for this type of effect. As for the material Lance included, I plan on using 3 of them without hesitation. “What An Ugly Rainbow”, “Cut To The Quick”, and “Killer Anagram, Dude” are going right into my arsenal. I am considering 2 others as well. I don’t want to give away the plots of these routines as creating the plot in the first place is the most difficult part in coming up with a routine. The writing style is perfect for this manuscript (although some may not get the humor). Lance starts off very detailed in regards to performing the routines, sage advice concerning the same audience, some insights into the origin of this manuscript, as the manuscript progresses, the detail on performing the routine lessens and Lance outright tells you to write your own jokes. This is great advice because right at the beginning he tells us that his material can be loud an in your face. But let me tell you, what he has there is amazing (to me anyway). Let me wrap this up before I continue to ramble on. I got a new magical technique, at least 3 routines I will use, inspiration to create my own material, learned a bunch of trivia (some true, some not), had a memory lesson, a lesson on ciphers, and laughed my butt off while reading this manuscript. Is that worth $20? For me, the answer is a resounding “Yes!” Here is the link if you are interested: http://www.lulu.com/shop/lance-norris/pr......292.html Tony Iacoviello |

Thanks for the review Tony. The PA's sound interesting but can this material be used by the close up performer?
Thanks. |

Sean:
It can be used in any setting, close up, stage, walk around... The only restriction, and one the author puts in the manuscript, is only one performance of this per audience. Tony |

In the past I recall him making his material in limited editions. Is this similar?

You may enjoy the humor, but it is New England humor, so you may not. I'm not sure it is the best buy for you as all routines/effects he includes are English based. Yes, the technique can be used with any European language using the Latin Alphabet, but all the work in the manuscript is in English. Tony |

I had a very good laugh, no, more than one... It is not too difficult to transfer it for other languages. I did not regret to buy and read it Jan

So is this really just 10 pages? Just asking as for the price, that seems pretty high.. Unless there is really some kick butt stuff in those 10 pages.. I would be tempted at $10.. But $20.. Naaa

I concur with Tony's thoughtful review of Lance's Progressive Aggression and find it worth every penny if you like to play with language as I do. To be certain, we pumped it through the Joyce Filter while dangling in our extrasensory deprivation tank. Last time, the zip gun got us. This time, we arranged to be cool. The last time we dabbled with one of Mr. Norris's effects, we were banned from our local Walmart. I got no apps to amp anagrams but Lance's work here is aptly inspirational and, for a bonus, he outcodes the bible with a three way for the erasers of invisible footsteps. Lance is an original and you'll easily transfer his howling wolf energy to your own mad dog.

I'm a huge fan of PA's and was hoping to get some great new PA's to perform along with some sage advice on PA's. I unfortunately found neither in this release.
The main issue is with the PA's themselves. The several PA's offered all consist of a short lists of words (7-8 words) which you would hand to the spectator to select one word and you go into your reveal. I have to agree with Atlas Brookings in the sense that PA's should 'feel' like a spectator has infinite choices to choose from but if your only using a list of 7 words, it makes the method pretty transparent IMO. This is the reason I no longer perform Zodiac Sign PA's.The tips Lance offers on PA's was ok but nothing groundbreaking. |

Study Jack Kent Tillar's "Assumption Swindle", rethink it, use some phantasy and you might change your opinion Jan

Can someone give a gist of what the presentations involve as far as what the spectator experiences. I understand the lists and pa's reveal but was wondering what the specs "experience" besides "how did he know my word from that list?"

This is PERFECT for Radio Presentations. As a radio presentation it requires NO MEMORY work, although what is demanded is not that difficult even for an old codger like me. I like it!!!!!
I'll be selecting one of these for my next round of radio shows. Possibly THE DARK TRUTH podcast.
