Jonathan Pendragon Lecture - Sunday, September 12 , 2010

Jonathan Pendragon Lecture

Alain Nu's Mentalism 2010 Lecture - Sunday, Sept 26, 2010 (& Workshop - pending)

Alain Nu

The star of the 2005 TLC four part hour-long series, "The Mysterious World of Alain Nu" (check out his TV clips on Youtube), Alain Nu set the record for the longest-running American-made TV mentalism series in the last 30 years. It’s no wonder. Alain was already a full-time mentalist, and quickly became a well-known favorite within the corporate, college, casino, and theatre markets.

He is also about to become a "real author" releasing his first book to the mainstream public! This will soon be available on Amazon and at bookstores nationwide, and uses mentalism techniques in such a way to test an average person's intuitive potential of developing genuine "sixth sense" powers… Spooky! It is not often that he delivers intensive seminars that open you up to his unusual perspective much less his trade secrets… BUT on this one special night, Alain plans to crack open the doors of his heart and thoughts and allow you to peer inside and experience an understanding of mentalism that will literally blow your mind in many different directions!

Fewer people know that Alain, outside his television successes, also has a rather prolific background in creative mentalism and the development thereof. Having underground work published numerous times in numerous publications and books, including MAGIC, Genii, The Linking Ring (Best Parade 1997), MUM (front cover Dec 1999), Syzygy, The Trap Door, Labyrinth (one man issue), Dear Mr. Fantasy, The Mystery School Book and among others, not to mention his own private releases both in print and no longer in print, many of his ideas have now become well-buried in rare and hard-to-find periodicals.

Plan to learn some KILLER effects during this lecture, but much more than that, learn Alain’s insights about this subject matter and see mentalism from a most unusual yet practical perspective!

This is indeed a RARE opportunity that you don't want to miss!

“Mentalism 2010” is the “main lecture” and will highlight reputation-making mentalism effects that Alain has put a considerable amount of work into, and hand-picked, mostly from his books Word Work I, Word Work II, Any Card…, Astrologic, and Nu Wave Reloaded. A powerful arsenal will be revealed-- everything from clever to even impromptu Book & Magazine Tests, his famous ACAAN (any card at any number) techniques, his revolutionary Zodiac divination principles, to his beautiful and simple subtleties re: Equivoque. Also, an amazing glimpse of Alain’s metal bending routine (highlighting his STM workshop) will be exhibited (but without explanation). 

Manuscripts and products online can be viewed at www.ShopOfSecrets.com All of Alain's $56 (with shipping) manuscripts (online price) will be reduced to ONLY $30!!!

In fact ALL of Alain's products that he brings with him will be discounted from their online price!!! 

=================================================================================================

“Alain Nu's Pro Mental Workshop” - 2 hour workshop $60 - pending minimum number signup.

Tentative dates: Saturday, Sept 25th (afternoon), Sunday Sept 26th (either immediately before or after the lecture). I hope to finalize the date and time by coordinating interest with Alain's schedule.

If you would like to attend, please email Mark at: Alain Nu Workshop Please indicate which potential workshop times work for you.

“The Pro Mental Workshop” is a more advanced hands-on workshop. Alain is one of only a handful of those in his field who has under tremendous odds become truly successful at his craft and has nicely integrated this into a lifestyle. Here, you will be able to get straight answers from direct questions and work to improve your overall “mental game” regarding ANY mentalism subject you wish to approach.

 And because Alain doesn’t have enough time to discuss his out-of-print favorites during his main lecture, if you are a true fan of his work, he will be spending time talking about a good handful of these old chestnuts (including his out-of-print close-up drawing duplication with some of his latest touches!) during this extra-mini session! Anyone who knows Alain, knows how he rolls: if you’re still willing to absorb, he starts throwing down the good stuff! His newest effect is a very interesting book test principal/presentation which is based on Word Work I, but more streamlined and elegant, involving an examinable book that can be given away as a souvenir after a freely chosen word on a freely chosen page is masterfully revealed! Just wait till you see it!

Cost: $60 per attendee. BUT here’s the special deal-- each participant gets a GIFT of their choice of ANY ONE of Alain’s $50 (normally $56 with shipping) books for FREE! There must be a minimum of only FIVE interested people to get this going, however, so spread the word, and let’s see how many extra people we can bring in for this!  If you were planning to buy stuff at Alain’s lecture anyway—this is an AWESOME DEAL!!!

Dan Harlan Lecture - Sunday, October 24, 2010

Dan Harlan

Here's what they are saying about Dan's lecture:

“It was great to have you back at Ring 212 for another lecture. Your material was all new, and of such an amazingly wide variety. In a word - wow! Two days later a new member told me he had already constructed your popcorn trick. You were in top form and a real hit at our club.”

--Gene Anderson

“I’ve been in magic my entire life… I’ve also been International President of the I.B.M., so I’ve seen a lot… and this is the best I’ve ever seen. Dan, use my comments if the opinion of a 96-year-old female would do you any good. I think you were excellent.”

--June Horowitz

“I saw Dan Harlan lecture at the Columbus Magi-Fest in February, and booked him for Cleveland's Ring 23 in March. Dan's lectures on both occasions were very entertaining, and contained many practical routines. I can enthusiastically recommend Dan's lecture for your group.”

--Neil Rozum - Ring 23 lecture chairman

“Your teaching skills, your inventiveness, and your attention to detail, coupled with your friendly spirit, all added to the success of your lecture. Thank you for a job well done. We are happy to enthusiastically recommend you for any convention planner, magic gathering, or corporate event, as part of their entertainment line-up. And for those who are looking for quality magic teaching, you are highly recommended.”

--Jep Hostetler, Executive Director of Columbus, OH Magi-Fest

Here's what Dan has to say about his lecture:

My new lecture, “Meaningful Magic,” is about making our magic relevant in the modern world. I explain how we can use the principles of performance to make a connection with our audiences... illustrated, of course, with my own work. Many of the effects are brand new, never before seen by the magic community. Some are "classics" from my vast professional repertoire. Here's a sample list:

...and many more surprises!


Hopefully that gives you a good idea of what to expect... Truly something for everyone.
--Dan Harlan
