In This Manuscript You will learn two effects, one of them is my CAN effect in which I make a volunteer lose their weight--they can feel it, they can feel themselves becoming lighter and lighter until they weigh less than a feather, and you can prove to the audience that your spectator has indeed lost their weight. As I am a hypnotherapist, this routine has been my business card to my customers that want to take hypnotherapy sessions to lose weight. In addition I am including an almost impromptu newspaper test, and a way to combine both effects to mark your reputation as a mentalist, psychic or hypnotherapyst. The effects included in this manuscript are: 1) CAN--You borrow any soda can and explain how fragile they are. In the first step of the routine you prove to your audience how you are able to control the body of someone else, you give FULL PROOF to your audience, once they are convinced, you make your spectator lose weight INSTANTLY. They can feel it and confirm it verbally to the audience, but of course you will go BEYOND their word, and will offer to PROVE it. You ask your spectator to stand on the EMPTY SODA CAN (which being as fragile as it is, would break easily), HOWEVER--the soda can doesn't crush while your spectator is letting all of their weight rest on it. YES THEY ARE FULLY STANDING UP IN THE CAN AND IT IS NOT DAMAGED AT ALL. Why? Because your spectator has lost all of their weight! Now, as a third step of the routine, you show how you also created a connection between your spectator and a physical object (which in this case happens to be the can), and you show how the side of the can has been BENT in your spectator's hands, WITHOUT YOU TOUCHING IT. As a final step in this routine, you make your spectator's weight return, and ask them to stand up again on the can, which now is crushed instantly for their weight has come back. "Your thinking excites me. Just the other day I was thinking about you can crush. As is it is a hard piece to pull off in a stage show or such but terrific for one on one non-formal situations. But I wondered how I would use it on a TV show. And this is what I came up with. I have someone stand on a doctor's scale. They are measured and we see their correct weight. I have them stand on a can, and it crushes (they choose the can), they stand on a petrol can and it does not crush. Now I lay them down, people try to pick them up with their fingers and they cannot. Now they do it again and the person gets lighter and lighter. They stand on a can. It does not crush. They are weighed and they are 40 pounds lighter. People pick them up again, they are still light, now they get heavier and heavier and so heavy the people can not hold them up in the air. They are weighed, they have gained 50 pounds over their real weight. They stand on a can or a petrol can and it crushes. Now you get them back to their regular weight. They stand on a regular can, it crushes, but the petrol can does not crush, they are weighed and seen to be their regular weight."-Banachek. 2) INSTANT NEWS--A borrowed newspaper, a freely selected page, and a set up that will take you only 2 seconds AT THE MOST. A word is than freely selected, BY THIS TIME you have not make a peek, OR SEEN THE WORD, and yet you are able to find what the word is that your spectator is thinking of. So...These two routines will be available in one single manuscript which includes all the instructions you need to perform these EASY effects in the most POWERFUL WAY.
