"Raising the Dead for Fun & Profit is a handbook on how to design, market, and promote a seance party. Jim offers suggestions on making the seance party a year-round entertainment package. The seance party scenarios presented in this book are designed as one or two person portable entertainment vehicles which can be performed in a variety of venues. If your desire is to make a seance party a viable part of your entertainment career, you'll find the information in the marketing section to be extremely valuable. This is an excellent manuscript, and it will be on value to anyone wanting to perform this type of show."--Michael Close, MAGIC Magazine. "For those of you who either perform or are interested in performing seances, Jim Magus has an excellent manuscript. The book is 84 pages packed with information. It is pretty much an A to Z primer on putting on a seance party for entertainment."--Ford Kross, in Vibrations magazine. "Jim has packed a lot of information into this book. In addition to his general thoughts about what a seance should be, what kinks of props to use, how to create mood, and so on, Jim provides dozens of specific examples of special effects to use in spirit theater. There is also a hefty section on how to market a seance party, with several examples of marketing flyers and business cards. Best of all, Jim gives us sample scripts of seances, along with the techniques used to cause the spirit manifestations. Jim Magus is one of the most knowledgeable practitioners out there. There is a lot of information here."--David Goodsell, in M-U-M magazine. "...although the emphasis is on methods of booking seance parties including promotional material used by professionals, half a dozen complete seances are described, making the book complete unto itself."--Steve Bryant, in the Little Egypt Gazette.
