MAKING MYSTERY

When It Happens To Them

One of the most potent books Kenton Knepper has ever written.

For decades, my work has pushed mentalism and magic beyond methods and into connection, meaning and real human experience.

MAKING MYSTERY may be the clearest and most concentrated expression of that work I have ever released.

That is why I say this plainly:

Put these principles into use and they can change mentalism and magic forever again.

 

The Inner Secret Most Performers Miss

Our methods usually take place in the outer world. We handle a card, switch a billet, force a word, reveal a drawing or predict a choice.

But people experience life within themselves.

They remember. They associate. They feel. They interpret. They search for meaning.

MAKING MYSTERY teaches you how to perform in that inner world.

This is far more than adding an emotional story to a trick. It is about building the meaning into the method, language, timing, objects and choices from the very beginning.

The effect can remain simple.

The experience becomes something else entirely.

 

Familiar Methods Become Powerful Mystery

This book explores forces, billets, peeks, switches, Center Tears, one-ahead methods, predictions, equivoque, readings, objects, words, drawings and other established tools of mentalism and magic.

But you will see these tools in a very different way.

You will learn how to:

• Turn a forced selection into something personally revealing
• Use words, actions, gestures and pauses to quietly determine what a moment means
• Direct attention into a participant’s thoughts, memories and feelings
• Make ordinary borrowed objects emotionally significant
• Use an apparent miss to make mind reading feel more human and believable
• Perform equivoque in a way that respects every choice
• Give billets a genuine purpose beyond holding secret information
• Let an effect continue affecting someone after the performance has ended
• Protect the participant’s dignity while making your work stronger
• Transform simple methods you already use into memorable experiences

These principles can be applied to close-up, readings, casual performance, parlor or stage.

 

Practical Work You Can Use

MAKING MYSTERY is filled with practical routines, presentations, scripts and detailed examples.

You will discover powerful new approaches using cards, written thoughts, names, drawings, words, envelopes, keys, coins, personal objects and simple pieces of paper.

Much of the work uses methods you may already know.

That is part of its power.

You do not always need a newer, more complicated secret. Sometimes you need to understand what your secret is truly capable of creating.

A basic force can become a meaningful personal encounter.

A billet can become a physical representation of someone’s private thought.

A common object can open an entire reading.

A near miss can make the final revelation more convincing.

A pause can pull an entire audience out of the mechanics and into their own inner experience.

A souvenir can allow Mystery to follow someone home.

Small changes can create enormous differences.

 

Give The Mystery Back To Them

Too much mentalism and magic is built around proving how clever, skilled or powerful the performer is.

This work takes another path.

The participant becomes the center of the experience without being embarrassed, diminished or used as a prop for the performer’s ego.

They leave remembering what happened within them.

That is where Mystery gains its real power.

That is where a performance becomes something people may remember for years.

 

A Small Book With An Enormous Purpose

I deliberately kept MAKING MYSTERY to approximately 60 pages.

It is concentrated rather than padded. Nearly every page contains ideas you can apply to material you already perform.

You may first read it for the routines.

Read it again for the principles underneath them.

Then apply one of those principles to your next performance.

You will feel the difference.

More importantly, your participants will feel it.
