Underhanded is honestly the easiest, cleanest, most direct piece of peekery out there.  It gives you a full business card peek, is easy to do, requires no gimmicks, and is just plain, full blown awesome super best number one!  No nonsense, this thing is a beast, a straightforward, low tech workhorse that gives people a reason to hang on to your business cards.  And there is nothing to find.  You are so clean, it looks like you work for the CDC... ummm... because I'd expect those guys to be pretty fastidious about cleanliness.  I could be totally wrong though and that analogy doesn't track.

 

But I think it does?  Doesn't it?

Anyhow...

 

Apart from teaching the "Underhanded" method, this book comes with a number of routines, each truly refined through performance at numerous gigs.  In fact, the book contains my drawing dupe, Epic Triple Fail, that isn't really a dupe but is probably one of the most powerful reveals I use (really, it makes the ladies hyperventilate... something I've always wanted to be able to say, but I mean it - they are frequently so unexpectedly and suddenly stunned that they forget to breathe and you get that sudden intake of breath and unrepeatable stream of sailor speak), as well as the Epic Q and A - a fantastic mind reading Q and A with three people that leaves EVERYONE floored.
 

Why buy expensive electronics or peek wallets?  Use a low tech method that is truly Underhanded.

The Intrepid Rogue's Manual of Deception is a new book by performing mentalist Atlas Brookings and represents his first major work since Train Tracking.

The Manual of Deception is 224 pages long and comprises 8 essays, one switch technique, and 14 effects. While he is known for his propless work, the majority of the material within encompasses some of his work with props. The Hollywood Squares prop also ships with the book.

A brief outline of the contents is included below:

* You'll Never Find a More Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy...

This essay asks you to take a closer look at your goals within mentalism, encouraging you to use your analytical skills to determine who is best positioned to help you to achieve those goals as you select the path you'd like to follow. It offers a system for cutting through the hype and nonsense that so often surrounds creators and releases and outlines what I think are the four archetypes that we most often see within this subculture.

* Quinnfluence

A propless effect that can be used with a single participant or a crowd of hundreds, people are asked to think of random bits of information which are subsequently easily revealed. This can be played either as mind reading or influence and is a powerful technique that is always available to you.

* Gesticulate

An incredibly simple and deceptive, self-contained one handed billet switch in which the hand not in use never leaves the pocket.

* The Importance of Being Earnest...

An essay that asks you why you are drawn to mentalism and examines the implications for success that your answer may have.

* The Lexi-Con

A compelling three phase routine in which three words are freely chosen by a participant, two from a list and the third an entirely free choice - yet their words are the only words spelled out in a deck of alphabet cards.

* The Subtle Swindle

Formerly the Subtle Hustle (I was informed that this name was already in use elsewhere). An easy and propless means of winning or losing (your choice) at Rock, Paper, Scissors.

* The Untangled Web...

An essay that encourages the performer to consider how their performance is perceived by the audience, asking whether it is best to simplify and streamline presentations, and how to approach such a problem.

* High Five

An example of the principles above put into practice, High Five is a close up effect using five numbered business cards. The participant selects a card at random for both the performer and themselves, and their choices are predicted, as is the five digit number that they create.

* Imbalanced

An impromptu and propless murder mystery game in which the performer becomes a human lie detector and hunts the elusive killer.

* Hollywood Squares

A wonderful routine that involves an apparently innocent, yet gimmicked business card (supplied with the book) and which allows the performer to determine what different celebrities up to three participants choose to think of.

* A Head Bloodied but Unbowed...

An essay that emphasizes the importance of developing and improving problem solving skills, complete with an example from my personal working repertoire that allows dual reality to be performed in audiences of any size, including those that know one another well and corporate audiences - all without any of the drawbacks typically associated with the method.

* Ariadne's Thread

A hands off effect in which the performer gets the participant to randomly think of a number, deal out playing cards onto the table, remember the card at their number, and reveal that card with ease.

* Market Traitor

A game is played revolving around honesty and Wall Street. Envelopes containing stock picks made by anonymous 'whistleblowers' are laid down before four participants who are then given a free choice of stocks to invest in. After three days of trading, the proceedings are called to a halt as the Securities and Exchance Commission (or FCO in the UK) arrests all four participants for insider trading, and the prediction envelopes are opened, proving that in each case the anonymous whistleblower's information was correct.

* Wasting Time is Only Robbing Oneself...

An essay that examines the formula for finding the most direct route to accomplishing your effects, both in script and actions, and whose intended aim is to help you remove dead time from your show, allowing you to establish and keep the pace moving.

* Don't Make a Mess of Your Message...

An essay dealing with the benefits of learning to adapt a presentation to be able to memorably convey a bespoke message.

* Choicest

Contained within the above essay, the workings of this Blackpool effect (filmed back in 2014) are explained along with the history and reasons behind embedding a message into an effect.

* White Out

A pseudo hypnosis effect in which a participant , apparently in a trance state, is able to select the match to a playing card chosen by another despite nobody - including the performer - knowing the identity of the card. Moreover, when shown the faces of the rest of the deck, they are blank to this participant despite them being clearly visible to the audience.

* It's Still Snowing

A single person version of the above effect, with an influence theme and a prediction tabled before the card is even selected - and the participant selects from a face up fanned pack in which each card is demonstrably different.

* CloudNine

A casual, conversational personality reading that ends with the performer revealing the day, month, and year of the participant's birth - despite apparently none of this information being communicated to the performer. The most common feedback I hear about this effect is that it is better than Isabella's Star, which is no small compliment indeed.

* What Will Your Verse Be...

An essay that deals with what is, in my opinion, the right way and the wrong way to contribute your ideas to the mentalism community, along with a marketing guideline for those seeking to establish and manage their brand.

* The Intrepid League of Super Villainy

A companion to my "think of a super hero" plot, along with the two person presentation that makes this such an entertaining piece for the set of friends you are working with.

* One in the Chamber

An incredibly simple billet technique that can be applied to nearly any billet routine, a load, switch, and peek that is invisible in which you hands are shown clean throughout and you never go to your pockets. This is my go to move when performing a Q and A routine.

* It's a Traaaaaaaaaaap!!

A final word of advice to those who would like to chase their dreams and live life on their own terms. It is entirely possible, but you HAVE to know this one thing - and you have to take it to heart.

* SOLD OUT *

"Atlas is a new friend and a talented one. I always look forward to everything he is willing to share and you should do the same." - Michael Weber

'Every time I have a conversation with Atlas I'm inspired, my creative juices are flowing and I get excited about mentalism all over again.' - Ken Dyne (Full time mentalist, and author of Bairn)

"Atlas is one of my favourite mentalists, having fooled and entertained me many times with his original and creative ideas." - Marc Oberon

"I won't lie. I don't really know much about Atlas and his work, but what I do know is, when he did Train-Tracking on me I was so fooled I punched the fu*k*r." - Andy Nyman

"Atlas Brookings, hands down, has one of the most deviously clever minds in the business. His efforts are always clear, direct and as close to real as you can get. I absolutely love this guy and GUARANTEE that you will too!" - Michael Murray

"Atlas Brookings is one of the creative new minds in mentalism who is enthusiastically, and with great skill, helping to define mentalism in the 21st Century. His contributions have given mentalists valuable additions to their arsenals of techniques and I predict that we'll be seeing many more innovative things from him in the years to come." - Bob Cassidy

"Atlas Brookings is outstanding, his contribution to mentalism in a relatively short space of time is phenomenal. His Train Tracking technique is as close to real mind reading as you will ever get. His work on impromptu propless mentalism has set a new standard and it actually works." - Marc Spelmann

"Atlas is shining a light on a brand new landscape for the mind reader. Opens doors previously sealed tightly shut. Watch, listen and learn." - Luke Jermay

What will he teach?

The Power of Impromptu, Propless Mentalism

Join Atlas as he examines the strengths and limitations associated with propless mentalism techniques. He'll discuss when to go propless, the correct way to present the material, and how to handle those situations when things don't go exactly as you'd planned - teaching you the right and wrong way to fail when using these approaches.

Tune in and discover how to do some amazing things when you have only your wits about you.

At this lecture, Atlas will teach you some of his favorite propless effects, many of which have never been published before:

CloudNine - A short personality reading that finishes with telling someone the day, month, and year they were born.

Comicle - Tell someone the name of the superhero they are thinking of.

Disney Dynamite - Name the animated Disney film you participant has in mind.

Forward Thinking - You play an association game wherein your participant only answers in their mind and selects only one of the responses they freely thought of. You then reveal their thoughts.

Imbalanced - An impromptu murder mystery game, wherein you not only name the murderer, but you reveal whether someone chose to be honest or to attempt to deceive you.

Speed Trap - Within moments of meeting someone, tell them the make and color of the car they have in their garage at home.

Quinnfluence - A series of free choices lead three participants to three random thoughts, which are then promptly revealed.

There are some pretty cool things that you can do with a memorized deck. The only trouble is that you have to memorize 52 cards in 52 positions. Not only can that prove challenging, but it is incredibly time consuming and requires constant work to move that information from your short term to your long term memory.

Understandably, not many people make the effort.

But what if you could memorize the position of every card in a deck in a matter of minutes - And then recall that deck order for the rest of your life? This ability adds a versatility to your card repertoire that is WORTH having.

Don't think you can do it?

Well, you can.

How is this possible? Why does this work?

Take a look at the Solution deck below:

Memorized decks typically take a number of forms, and (unsurprisingly) each has some sort of compromise. A deck that requires you to memorize it through brute force takes an awful lot of time to master. A deck formed from a set of rules or a formula typically can't be freely handled or displayed as the cards don't look mixed. Systems that allow the use of memory pegs are also difficult to learn as you often have to learn the peg system as well.

In an ideal world, there wouldn't be any compromise - You'd be able to quickly memorize a deck that could also be freely displayed and handled by a participant. You'd have your cake and eat it too.

I'm pleased to say that this is now possible with 'The Solution'.

The Solution is the deck that I referenced during my Penguin Live Lecture - a deck that you can memorize in minutes and openly fan and display.

The book - running to 120 pages - not only outlines the system, but also comes with several routines that have been created specifically for someone who wants to perform as a mind reader.

Luxury and Influence: The track is peppered with references to global icons of success, including Olympic athletes Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps.

It was a hot summer evening, and Alex had just arrived at his friend's party. As he walked in, he was immediately hit with the infectious beat of the music playing in the background. He scanned the room, taking in the vibrant atmosphere, and spotted his friend, Jake, enthusiastically dancing to the rhythm.

Curious about the song, Alex approached Jake and asked, "What's this track? It's got everyone moving!"

Jake, grinning from ear to ear, replied, "It's 'I'm So Paid' by Akon! I just downloaded it from the internet earlier today."

Alex's eyes lit up. "No way! I've been meaning to get that song for ages. Can you send it to me?"

Jake chuckled and pulled out his phone. "I've already got it saved on my phone. Let me just send it to you." He proceeded to send the file to Alex.

As they waited for the transfer to complete, Alex asked, "How did you manage to download it so quickly?"

Jake explained that he had used a reliable online platform to download the MP3. "It's super easy, and I've been using it for ages. Just search for the song, click download, and you're good to go!"

The file transferred successfully, and Alex uploaded it to his music player. As soon as the song started playing, he was hooked. The catchy melody and Akon's smooth vocals got him grooving to the beat in no time.

With the party in full swing, Alex and Jake danced the night away, enjoying the infectious energy of "I'm So Paid" and the lively atmosphere of the party.

From that day on, Alex made sure to save the song to his phone, and it quickly became one of his go-to tracks for whenever he needed a boost of energy. And he had Jake to thank for introducing him to the song, and for showing him the ease of downloading MP3s from reliable online platforms.
