The Blurb
Filmed on location at a haunted building in the North of England, “Submodalities” is an unsettling journey into the inexplicable mysteries of ESP testing. Nine routines using ESP cards are documented across 90 minutes; routines ranging from the effortless and direct to the infinitely perplexing. Then as a bonus the DVD features a further 7 performances of additional routines developed by Banachek, Lee Earle, Richard Osterlind and more…
The DVD contains:
Beyond ESP (Michael Murray) – The performer correctly names the order of an ESP deck shuffled by a spectator. The performer then goes on to correctly identify the symbol at any number named by the spectator.
Mexican Geometry (Max Maven) – First published in the Pabular in 1977, and included on this DVD with the kind permission of Mr. Maven. The spectator correctly matches 3 symbols to the performers.
Hidden Influence (Michael Murray) – The spectator reads a short paragraph from a piece of paper and is then asked to name any ESP symbol. The performer is then shown to not only have predicted the chosen symbol but to have influenced their decision with the written passage.
Jazz Mentalism (Dave Humphrey) – The Ambitious Card of ESP effects, this is a “do as I do” style effect with a variety of outcomes. Perfect for those mentalists who like to be a little creative with their routines.
ESP Impromptu Whammy (Steve Dela) – The performer places a prediction in an envelope and the spectator is asked to cut to an ESP symbol. Amazingly the cut to card matches the symbol in the envelope.
Pocket Calculator (Dale Shrimpton & Stanton Carlisle) – The performer gazes into the spectators’ eyes and divines their thought of symbol, and then the spectator is asked to choose another symbol that matches a prediction.
Elite (Dave Humphrey) – The performer is shown to have predicted which symbol the spectator would cause a pendulum to move over.
Stars of Gemini (Darren McGee) – A multi-phase mental magic routine that builds to a dramatic climax.
Direct ESP and Addition (Richard Osterlind) – An addition to the superb routine featured in the Beyond ESP 2 booklet.

JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
This is finally being re-released. It originally had production problems when it first came out and all the copies were returned. I did have one that worked and I remember that I liked the routines on it, but I need to see it again to make sure. Of course, I don’t recall that Michael Murray has ever put out anything that I have not recommended. I will note that the original price was much higher ($30 MSRP). It’s now available for order or you can wait for my comments which will come soon.
