As those who have attended some of Kenton's more exclusive and expensive workshops know, ""Indirection"" is a key principle in Kenton's work. Far more important than ""mis-direction"", indirection is a subtle way to cause the audience to accept things as true without conscious criticism.

This manuscript details new effects and techniques based upon this powerful principle. From making ""standards"" truly remarkable (such as the Linking Rings, Egg Bag and even the Lota Bowl) to new works such as Kenton's ""Indirection Bowl"" direct from the opening of his act, or ""Drawing Duplication"" from television, many great effects and ideas are examined in detail.

It's hard to get a room full of magicians to applaud a Lota Bowl or hardcore mentalists to be fooled by the use of a stooge. But ""Secrets of Indirection"" reveals how to do all of this and more. Once you grasp the principle, you'll apply it to nearly everything you do.

Kenton's use of making a compass move while attempting metal bending is in here too. This is not the same thing as ""Kenton's Kompass"". You'll find Kenton also tips for the first time his ""Famous Bottle Vanish"" used in clubs, banquets and on full stage. This alone is worth the price of this manuscript to any performer - and it is easy to do. Many more effects are detailed.

This manuscript will change how you look at everything you do in performance. The simple concept of ""indirection"" will radically alter our magical and mental arts - if we but think and apply this remarkable tool.

The majority of effects described are magical in nature, though some mentalism is of course included. Magic examples make for the easiest and quickest way to grasp the indirection concept, that you may then apply to mentalism and everything else you do. While effects may be magic oriented, this will not dissuade the thinking mentalist who is after principles, not simply tricks.

This key principle upon which Kenton depends in all manner of work and styles of performance is now revealed at last.

This is the latest of the in-depth work by Kenton upon which so many await and rely. You will want to get ahead of the pack and begin reconsidering your act using the power of indirection.
