The Effect

INTRODUCTION[Excerpt]

As I write the introduction to this book I am on a flight from Las Vegas to Los Angeles. I am presented with exactly forty-five minutes to sum up my feelings about the book.

A lot has contributed to the style in which this book has been written; among other things a recent transatlantic relocation from the UK to the USA to make a home in Las Vegas I now find myself a married man, and to top it all off. I have even begun work on that traveling freak show I have been dreaming about for oh so long As I write this I am currently on my way out of Las Vegas -. the magical capital of the world - feeling very ill from the extreme turbulence on an otherwise uninteresting flight. Vegas is a town that has in the short while I have lived here already deeply affected my approach to magic and mentalism. Las Vegas really is the best place in the world to see both great and terrible magic. From the best of the best to the worst of the worst, Vegas is your place.

The bulk of this book was written as I lived and worked as a traveling performer. Much of the book being written on planes, in hotels and while generally on the road. There really is a great advantage to having a mobile office. As one of the publishers of this book would say: wedged s long as there's a Starbucks, we're good to go.?

The book was written in this fashion with my thoughts being collected in essay form while on the road. Now, looking back over it, I find it a genuinely nosaltigic read. The task of elaborating on my traveling essays to make them more complete and lucid was much like reading an old travel journal or diary from years past.

Certain essays remind me of specific performances and places. Others remind me of various TV shows I have worked on. I hold many good memories attached to the writing in this book and some not so good memories.

The one thing the ideas presented in this book all have in common is that they were formed in part because of the countless Jian ad? Magic and mentalism shows I have encountered on my journeys. From live performances to certain recent Ju V Stars? Bad magic It is simply bad magic.

It is these Jian ad magic / mentalism shows? That are the true inspiration for this book. Without having witnessed so much bad magic and mentalism I would never have been moved to examine my own performances at a deeper level. It was this examination triggered by these performances that inspired my feelings and thoughts as recorded in this book. So in a way I have all the shows that have made me feel sick watching to thank for their inspiration in questioning my own performances at a deeper level.

It is my hope that you enjoy what is presented in this book. You will of course not agree with everything I have written, and this is the whole point!

The best thing I could ever hope to achieve with this book is to encourage you to question your own performances in the same way I have questioned my own. If you do this, we together are fighting against those Jian ad magic / mentalism? Shows I know we both hate so much. Together with our love for the art that has given us so much, we now have the chance to give it something back. Lets keep magic and mentalism as exciting to our audiences as it is to us.

Enjoy your journey and maybe our paths will cross along the way.

With all sincerity I am;

Luke Jermay

Beginning his descent into LA, 2006.

CHAPTER ONE

DEVELOPING COMPELLING DEMONSTRATIONS

This chapter outlines my own personal beliefs on presenting contemporary mentalism. From the structure of an effect to building a routine and a show. Each point is complete with working examples from my own repertoire.

CHAPTER TWO

A WORKING EXAMPLE OF MY GUIDELINES

In this chapter we handle a working example of all the guidelines outlined in chapter one by creating and applying these rules to an effect.

CHAPTER THREE

AN APPROACH TO Yang ROP FREE? MENTALISM

A brief look at performing modern mentalism without the aid of apparatus and props of any kind. This chapters features a breakdown of what I think are the most useful methods for a performer to have in his or her tool box when it comes to performing mentalism with no psychical props at all.

CHAPTER FOUR

THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS

This chapter outlines the attention to detail that I feel is needed to make a truly compelling performance. It also features a working example of how applying the small touches to an effect can make all the difference.

CHAPTER FIVE

PRESENTATIONAL TOUCHES

A collection of presentational additions that can be added into many effects that you already perform as well as all the effects featured within this book. These range from the use of a slinky as a pendulum right the way up to saying the alphabet backwards and writing inside out verse. These touches are used throughout the book to build compelling demonstrations and will be referenced throughout from this chapter.

CHAPTER SIX

TOUCHING ON HOY? THE REAL WORK

This chapter features possibly the strongest, prop free, anywhere, anytime demonstration of mind reading available to the mentalist. Featuring brand new work on my original effect as well as three different effects that are achieved with the same basic conceptual methodology. This chapter also includes new work on the effect eliminating the need for a psychological force, a new and bold out for the brave performer, a new idea from which a miracle could spring he Stranger Zha Ke Name Concept? and also features a guest contribution from Chicago Zha Chris Carter .

CHAPTER SEVEN

HAIL DUNNINGER? A PRINICPLE AND AN EFFECT

In this chapter I take a closer look at the Nan unninger Ploy? And describe its use in relation to a card effect using a prop you almost certainly already own.

CHAPTER EIGHT

A LOOK AT TV MAGIC / MENTALISM FROM EDITING TO BROADCAST

Here I share my personal thoughts on the world of TV magic. From selective editing to pre-show work and dirty Cha amera tricks?

CHAPTER NINE

STANDING ON THE SHOUDLERS OF GIANTS

This chapter is a work inspired by my influences. As performers I truly think we are building everything we perform on the work of greats from the past. Here I share three routines that I feel are directly inspired by Canasta, Dr. Jak Zha and Koran .

CHAPTER TEN

MENTALISM WITH PLAYING CARDS

This chapter features mentalism with playing cards. All neatly piled together so those who would rather poke themselves in the eyes with anthrax covered magic wand than mix mentalism and playing cards can simply skip.

CHAPTER ELEVEN

SUGGESTION

A chapter featuring effects that mix the classic methods of magic and mentalism with suggestive techniques to create bold and new effects never before possible.

CHAPTER TWELEVE

A BRIEF JOURNEY INTO THE BIZARRE

No skulls, altars or sacrificed goats rather Mentalism with a surreal twist. From making time stand still, traveling backwards in time, scars healing themselves, incredible coincidences, a game of life and death, demonstrating your "grift sense" while charmingly stealing from your spectators, revealing innermost fears and stealing watches with your psychic power Its all very odd. Featuring guest contributions from Morgan Strebler, Craig Browing and Liam Montier.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

ZEROING IN

Methods to zero in on the correct spectators for your effects. This features a cold approach to working with suggestive methods as well as a honing method design for the stage performer and a method designed for the close up worker.

Silvio Solaris 16/08/2022

In the world of magic and mentalism, "3510" by Luke Jeremy emerges not just as a book but as a beacon for performers desiring to elevate their craft. Unlike typical collections of magic tricks, this seminal work dives deep into the artistry and psychology of performance, making it a treasure trove for the devoted entertainer.
"3510" stands out as a manual for transformation, aimed at magicians and mentalists ready to transcend the ordinary. Jeremy insists that the true magic lies not in the tricks themselves but in the presentation and connection with the audience - a puzzle simply presented as a mystery risks losing its potential to mesmerize and enthrall.
Designed for the seasoned professional rather than the hobbyist, the book challenges its readers to refine their skills and persona on stage. It's a call to arms for those who perform not just at family gatherings but in venues where the stakes and the scrutiny are higher.
Critics might highlight the book's typographical errors, but these flaws become part of its charm, potentially symbolizing the number of insights or perhaps the errors one must overcome on the path to greatness. Far from a distraction, I found these quirks add a layer of engagement to Jeremy's narrative, enticing readers to look deeper into the message rather than the medium.
Jeremy generously shares strategies, techniques, and personal insights that promise to catapult your performances to new heights. However, a word of caution - "3510" demands courage and commitment. The effects and methodologies discussed require more than mere technical skill; they necessitate a boldness only found in those with a deep passion for the art of magic.
In conclusion, "3510" by Luke Jeremy is a compelling manifesto for magicians and mentalists who are serious about their craft. It??s not for the faint-hearted but for those willing to invest in their development as entertainers. For the dedicated practitioner, this book offers invaluable lessons that could indeed transform sponge balls into balls of steel.
Highly recommended for those ready to take a serious leap in their magical journey.

Joe Marotta 13/06/2022

In the world of mentalism, a groundbreaking treasure has emerged through Jermay's latest work. "I wish this book was priced ten times higher" might sound exaggerated until you plunge into the depths of wisdom and innovative tactics that fill its pages. Jermay doesn??t just stand on the shoulders of giants; he dares to stretch further, promising to elevate the craft to heights unimagined by many predecessors.
This isn't your ordinary guide to mentalism filled with mere tricks and illusions. It's an invitation to a profound understanding of the art, as Jermay generously unlocks the doors to a deeper, more thoughtful approach to mentalism. The emphasis isn't just on 'how' a trick is executed but on 'why' and the impact it leaves on the audience. It's about transforming your mental act by infusing it with personality, insight, and authenticity.
However, this book demands more from its readers than a casual glance. It requires deep study, reflection, and a commitment to weave the learned principles into one's unique performance style. For those content with scratching the surface, looking for easy tricks without wanting to grasp the essence of mentalism, this might not be the right pick. But for the dedicated artist eager to elevate their mental act, Jermay's work is invaluable.
It's bold to claim, yet I foresee that this book will stand as a pivotal mentalism work of the early 21st century??a must-have for anyone serious about the art. While part of me selfishly wishes such wisdom remained a secret among a select few, the larger part recognizes the immense value it brings to committed practitioners.
In short, if you're ready to transform not only how you perform but how you perceive and are perceived in the world of mentalism, this book is an essential addition to your library.

The Conjuror 22/01/2022

Upon first glance, "3510" by Luke Jermay may challenge readers with its rather rough presentation. The initial immersion into Jermay's world is met with a labyrinth of prose that at times, demands unwavering effort to decode. An impression forms that perhaps what lies in hand is not the polished gem one would expect, but rather a diamond in the rough, hastily proofread and longing for the guiding hand of a seasoned editor. Such editorial oversight leaves glaring issues that even the most basic digital guardian of grammar and spelling would not dare miss. Ironically, Jermay's initial emphasis on the clarity of presentation becomes a humorous contradiction as the reader navigates through the murky waters of his expressions.
However, for enthusiasts of magic and mentalism, persistence is richly rewarded. Beyond the tangled thickets of text, "3510" blossoms, revealing treasures that far exceed the price of admission. A standout is certainly "Touching on Hoy," a piece that alone might transform skeptics into Jermay devotees. Jermay's deep well of knowledge and understanding of mentalism is evident, as he navigates through nuances of the craft with the ease of a master.
The book is not merely a collection of tricks and illusions, but a comprehensive exploration of mentalism that assumes a baseline familiarity from its readers. This is not Mentalism 101 but rather an advanced course, with Jermay acting as the erudite professor guiding readers through complex concepts, all while paying homage to the pillars of the craft with thorough references and credits. It's this humility and acknowledgment of the giants whose shoulders he stands on that elevate Jermay's work from mere instructional to insightful commentary on the art of mentalism.
Despite these notable highs, the book's accessibility is hampered by its need for a stern editorial pass. Yet, amongst the landscape of mentalism literature, "3510" shines as a beacon for those willing to look beyond its superficial flaws to uncover the brilliance of Jermay's insights and innovations.
For magic and mentalism enthusiasts seeking depth, innovation, and a genuine challenge, "3510" is a compelling addition to your library. While it might not serve as an introduction to the uninitiated, it promises to be an invaluable resource for those already versed in the art, hungry for the deep, thoughtful exploration of mentalism's possibilities.
Rating: 9/10 - A compelling read mired by editorial oversights, yet brimming with invaluable insights for the dedicated practitioner.

Julie 11/05/2021

In the expansive world of mentalism, few books carve a niche as distinctively as Luke Jermay's latest offering. While the price tag might initially raise eyebrows, the investment unravels itself as a treasure trove of insights for enthusiasts and practitioners alike.
Jermay dives deep into the fabric of mentalism, presenting a rich tapestry of techniques and philosophies that span the gamut from playing card mentalism to the art of the pre-show. His discourse on presentation not only elevates the craft but invites readers into a dialogue on pushing the boundaries of mentalism.
A standout section is the masterful exploration of "Touching on Hoy," a classic with a twist. Jermay introduces a mesmerizing variation that involves duplicating an image on stage??a gem I've enthusiastically incorporated into my own performances to rave reviews.
For those immersed in the world of magic and mentalism??be it from behind the curtain or in the audience??"Luke Jermay's Masterclass" is an indispensable guide that reshapes how we think about and perform mentalism. It's an investment in excellence, promising to enrich your acts and captivate your audience like never before.
