Effect
The goal of what Luke Jermay calls "Leading Reading" is to transform a cold reading situation into a hot reading situation through the secret acquisition of surplus information mid-routine.
In this booklet Luke outlines his approach to cold reading, provides a routine that serves as the perfect example of Leading Reading (A Marked Personality), and provides 7 stock readings for use on their own or with his Emotional Intelligence routine (sold separately).

Music is a big part of the entertainment at weddings, bar mitzvahs and graduations. If a mentalist can incorporate the DJ in his program of mind reading, he's a rare commodity and worth more money.
Hey Mr DJ is a complete routine that enables the mentalist to know ANY songs that three different people at the party think.
The audience creates a list of current song titles without any input from the mentalist. Three randomly selected participants THINK of a song title from the list. They don't write their choices down and their choices are completely "free." Yet, the mentalist knows the song titles in their minds!
The greatest feature of this practical routine is that the final song title is seemingly telepathically projected to the DJ! Without any kind of prior arrangement, the DJ plays the song that comes into his mind and IT'S THE SAME SONG AS THE ONE PICKED BY A SPECTATOR!
This is a finale trick that sends everyone to the dance floor to continue the party. What's more is that this can be performed COMPLETELY IMPROMPTU. It can be presented in night clubs, karaoke bars and people's homes. Where ever there's music and people you can create a sensation!
Hey Mr. DJ has these important features:
You're always ready to perform - anywhere, any time.
No extra gimmicks are needed.
The spectators don't write anything.
ANY song titles can be used.
You don't need to be familiar with any of the chosen song titles.
The spectators' choices are "free."
Spectators can change their selections if they wish.
No pre-show work AT ALL.
Nothing is forced on the DJ.
DJ just looks at the list and chooses.
The DJ actually believes the song title is projected into his mind.
Great for ALL kinds of parties.
Easy to learn and do.

The book will measure 3x5 inches because it is intended to be a pocket reference guide that one can take with them when going out on a fun night on the town. Everything about the book is first class.
You meet someone at a party, and explain that you had a dream about them a month ago. You write something down on a piece of paper, fold it up and hand it over. It could be put in an envelope or hung from the ceiling. YOU NEVER HAVE TO TOUCH IT AGAIN.
You explain that your dream had something to do with a book. You hand them the book and they turn to ANY PAGE they want. The book is completely normal. No duplicate pages, no forcing of page numbers, no peeks. They begin reading from that page and you looked stunned. You refuse to have them open the paper. It's just too strange....
The paper is finally opened and there is link to a YouTube video written down. You never touch the paper, nothing is switched, no double writing. When they go to your YouTube page there is ONE video, clearly uploaded a month ago. The video shows you sleeping in bed, then violently awaking and talking to the computer. You tell the camera that you just had a dream and start describing the scene from the book that your friend just read out loud.
I've done this and people start screaming and beg to have the video turned off. It's that powerful. And the video REALLY was uploaded a month ago to YouTube!

But, 52 Memories is more than that. It is the legacy of one of the most promising card magic creators of our time. 52 Memories is one of those rare magic books that pass on the most fruitful creations from a lifetime of tinkering, experimenting and performing. It is an important book that shares the late Jack Parker's lifelong mission to create the most amazing miracles ever decoded from a single deck of fifty-two.
While a number of the tricks in 52 Memories have seen print before, some are taught here for the first time. All have been completely re-written, most with new ideas and finesses explained for the first time and some even with completely different handlings. This is Jack Parker's magic as Jack wished it to be remembered and the end result is a legacy that promises to inspire every student of magic.
With fifty-two items, 240 large size pages and a full-colour photograph section, you are invited into a one-time tour of Jack Parker's life in magic. The attractive two-colour printed pages in 52 Memories sit between thick hard backed covers, and contain all the elegance to sit alongside your most prized books on magic.
The Magician's Ltd Cookbook allows you to take a peak into the repertoires of some of the world's best card magicians. Stars such as David Acer, Allan Ackerman, Steve Draun, Dave Solomon have all contributed fantastic tricks that range from incredibly easy to knuckle busting sleight of hand - you'll definitely find plenty of great material for your repertoire.
The story behind this book is inspiring. In 1989 Jack Parker was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia. After a year of treatment he was achieved a full remission from the illness and decided that he'd like to give back to give back to The Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow Trust; a charity that helped him when he was most in need. He collected magic from 23 of the world's top card magicians and along with Andi Gladwin started to compile a book of that fantastic magic.
Given how much they helped Jack, proceeds from this book will be donated to The Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow Trust to help assist their ongoing Leukaemia research and everyone involved in the Magician's Ltd Cookbook has given their time generously and for free.
Wonderful magic. A superb cause. So get cooking!
Here is a scant sampling of material that will soon jump from the pages of Dominatricks, into your repertoire:
Scarred Warp: many have said that this is the only genuine improvement to Roy Walton's Card Warp to date. See what happens when Tyler Wilson asks the intriguing question, "What's happening inside the card tunnel while the folded card is passing through it?" His answer will shock you.
B52 Shooter: your audience will never look at you the same way again. This is hands down the most visual Triumph routine ever created. Within minutes of learning, face up cards will start rapidly shooting out of the mishmashed deck in a flurry of motion ... with one hand.
Coke Inhabit: Coin In Bottle has never been so sweet. The bottle is given away with the coin still sealed inside as a keepsake. Note: There's a big twist to this routine that we're keeping a surprise until you read the book, or get fooled badly seeing it done live by someone who did. It's your choice.
Stick it to the Man: you love the strong mentalism but don't have the receding hairline required to pull it off? Don't fret, with Dominatricks Tyler Wilson tips a fresh new plot guaranteed to elicit just as many gasps as laughs.
Sloppy 30 Seconds: David Acer calls this "Tyler Wilson's brain-busting card transposition" and you'll soon see why. A card in your hand transposes with a card that is placed face up on the floor. Real original thinking!
Here's what it looks like: The subject is asked what color his shirt is. After responding the performer openly writes this color down so the rest of the audience can see it. The performer then places in subject 'into the proper mind set" and turns the board around to show the subject the word and asks him to "lock it into his memory". The subject responds with an affirmation that he has indeed done so. A few moments go by and the subject can't remember the written information no matter how hard he tries!
Inside are all new handlings that allow the effect to be performed on stage with props like a dry erase board, note pad/large scetch pad, playing cards, combination locks, or it even with your very own business cards. What also may be interesting is the performer can "bring back" the forgotten memory at any point having the subject instantly remember what he's supposedly forgotten.
Also included is a handling that teaches you how to make a specific ungimmicked combination lock open on any combination entered by the audience. They can actually take the lock home with them because the combination they enter really is the combination that the lock is set on!
