Unconventional
by Christopher Taylor
Canadian mentalist Christopher Taylor’s book, Unconventional, follows in the path of his highly praised first effort, Inside Out.
In Unconventional, you will encounter more of the practical ideas for which Taylor is becoming known. Here you’ll find a means for determining a spectator’s mentally selected card, ala Vernon’s classic Out of Sight, Out of Mind. It’s even more effective when done with two spectators!
Taylor also explores how to use the Classic Force with non-card objects, extensions of secret writing and pocket writing, a new routine for the pocket press (one of the most popular routines from his first book), and uses for the commercial effect Ghost Glass.
Several of the routines use Runes, for which Taylor gives many presentational ideas.
Praise for Unconventional:
Unconventional is a great value. Christopher’s attention to detail and structuring routines is reminiscent of T. A. Waters. His thinking behind props and prop management reminds me of Tommy Wonder. And best of all, Mr. Taylor is a wonderful and entertaining teacher. Bill Cushman
