You may be right. I may have it mixed up. I do have the book of haunted magick also. I'll double check. This is what happens when you have too many magic books.

Topherhester, which Tarot effect?
|
|||||||||
topherhester Loyal user 295 Posts |
Hi TC! I use Kiss Me Fate as a lead in to other Tarot effects. I also do signs, signs everywhere with pentagram burning onto selected card. Both effects are fantastic. I used Gemini project from in the play of shadows last year too. I have that book and your bizarre ebook TC's Bizarre Side. Thanks for putting out great routines. Have been thinking about picking up your pendulum book Swingers Party next but I have to pace myself if I don't want to be sleeping on the couch.

Me and a friend have been doing a seance in Dallas TX.
So far, several people have told us that we are playing with "forces we don't understand". One lady asked for a bible after the show. Others have thought it was real. Very few people have figured out it's a show. Which is very sad, because it's totally old school. Bells, tambourines, phosphorus, all the old techniques are being used, and still fooling people in the 21st century. People think we are going to actually conjure demons while we are playing with IT and a plate lifter. http://www.deepellumseance.com Randi |

Randi, you literally have "Seance" in the title of your show. What in the world, I wonder, did those people expect they were going to see?

I played my show as a straight and serious seance last year. Was hard to get people to attend because of that very reason. This year I billed it as haunted theatrical show and practically use the same effects and people want to attend out of the woodworks. Go figure.

My Halloween show starts with Throne of Death (a slight variation) from Neil Scryer, a bizarre chairtest. Followed by Lebanon Circle's Hagstone, with which we find us a witch! Then a test for the (suspected) witch involving a bell, book and candle. After which the witch is found guilty and burned at the stake. Just kidding, it ends with Blackhart's Balnagown. The fate of the witch in that story would have been the fate of the suspected witch in another time. And with that cheery message, I bid everyone farewell. Runs abt 30 minutes.

Thanks topherhester, it is always fun for me to know which effects people are using out in the world. Kiss me Fate is so much fun to do. Keep up the spooky work!

I am with PTBEAST in our small-stage show (www.ghastlyaberrations.com). I owe much of what I do in this show to my own background and training in Jewish mysticism as well as the works of Christopher Thisse, Bill Montana, and Jerome Finley. I adapted Jerome Finley's "Heart Song" for this performance, the rest of the "experiments" are of my own divising and are all psychologically based.

Most people are not idiots actually, they are simply a reflection of your own mind.
I think if you are publicizing this as a seance, the public who have no idea what to expect will assume it is a real seance. Have you read any seance literature? Most cover this occurrence.

Well, I don't know about the reflection of my own mind...
I do a bizarre take on spoon bending, and another on the Daley Slates (where a "spirit message" appears on the inner side of a slate), which freaks people out. I think it's the power of imagination (and possibly the loss of the ability for critical thinking, but that discussion is for another time). Even as a clinical hypnotist, I see this a lot. Someone gave me a tin of mints that has a mini Ouija board printed on the cover (as a joke) and two clients told me they wouldn't come into my office unless I put it in the other room. David

My routine is performed as a ghost story about a seance. Over the course of the story, I demonstrate phenomena that occurred during a seance that happened in the 1880s. Presenting it this way seems to provide enough "separation of church and slate" to quell any audience concerns about demonic collusion.

Have you even bothered to look at the website? And yes, I did read some literature, thank you very much. Lee Earle's stuff to be exact. I'm starting to remember why I quit coming here and why there is never more than 60 people visiting at one time. Randi |

Someone's angry... the reason America is going the way it is is because of corrupt foundations, media collusion, lifelong congressmen, greedy politicians, and overall deceit. That doesn't mean everyone is an idiot. I'm in Dallas too and my clients are very intelligent and informed. As a performer it doesn't help to degrade the ones you are performing for.

@Randirain, I think it is GREAT that your audience thinks it is real. To be honest, that is probably what most of us thrive for in spooky ! (My Opinion) Don't release your killer bunny to bring wrath upon Spooky! If everything works out (?), I'm going to be using a giant finger chopper on my neck.(Guillotine) It's the type that goes through neck not the type where the head comes off via ' Alice Cooper '. lol Won't be sure until Saturday.
