Equinox V.2
by Christopher Taylor
What is Equinox?
Well imagine Body Language or Max Maven's fantastic Kurotsuke effect.
Five balls are placed inside a black velvet bag (4 balls are white and one is black) Five spectators now reach into the bag and remove one ball each. Only one is holding the black ball and nobody apart from the person holding the ball knows who that is! Now by using your fantastic powers of NLP/Mind reading you start to eliminate each of the white balls one by one until you are left with the person holding the black ball!
Ok... I hear you ask so what's new? Well imagine doing this fantastic routine and never having to be near the bag. That's right, you can have your back turned and be standing at the other side of the room! You never have to go near your spectators or the bag! And the above is just one of the basic routines developed using Equinox.
Comes complete with handmade gimmicked black velor drawstring bag, 5 stones (four white and one black), gimmick and 8 page photo-illustrated instruction booklet.

The effects in this book have been designed form the inside out. In each case, Christopher began with some concept drawn from nature or metaphysics that he was strongly attached to. Then, like a magnet invisibly organizing iron filings, the concept acted as a nucleus around which technique, method, and devices gathered to produce the form of the effect.
In this manuscript, Christopher applied this empirical perspective to the classic effects of magic and found that many of them expressed principles found in nature or archetypal ideas from the human imagination. This Inside-Out perspective allows the performer to get deep into the heart of an effect, and truly understand it. Once that is achieved the performer can truly amaze the audience with effects that appear to be a natural extension of the performer's mind and body.
Inside-Out is certainly not the only perspective that can be applied to finding/creating magic and mental effects. Simply looking or a cool way of showing off one's dexterity with coins or cards can lead to entertaining and recognizable magic. What adopting the Inside-Out perspective can do is add another dimension to our enjoyment of the magic of nature and the nature of magic.

Outside The Conventional (2 DVD Set)
by Christopher Taylor
It's time to bring something different to the table!
Outside the Conventional is the first DVD set from Inner Mind Productions that features a guest performer. Canada's Christopher Taylor is the author to two best selling books on the subject of Bizarre/ Mystic Mental Magic as well as the inventor of Equinox and the electronic wiz behind Andy Nymans fantastic "Dead Zone Pro". On this DVD he brings you some of his finest routines.
Each of the routines has a story woven in to it, that produces an intimate and mysterious feel that elevates it from effect to a very thought provoking performance piece!
Watch as Christopher performs each effect in front of a group of lay people and then sit back and learn as Christopher Taylor And Marc Spelmann talk you through every effect in fine detail leaving no stone unturned.
The DVD also contains an interview section where Peter Nardi and Marc Spelmann delve a little deeper into the creative mind of Christopher Taylor.
Effects:
DVD 1
1) Two Minds, One Thought
A classic piece of mentalism. Two participants each contribute to the choice of a thought-of card. The performer then removes the cards from the box for the first time and selects a single card. When the thought of card is named, it matches the selection. The deck is examinable before and after the effect.
2) Being There
A participant's visualized visit to a beautiful and peaceful garden is proven to be real! Subtle and powerful mentalism.
3) Qi Coin
A powerful coin bend routine, highly praised by the pros. This is Christopher's' signature effect and worth the price of the set on its own.
4) Drawing Duplication
A straight to the point billet routine. Unbelievably simple to perform with endless applications.
DVD 2
1) In the Book
A two participant variation of the drawing duplication.
2) There and Back Again
A participant secretly decides upon a distant country and then takes a "mystical journey" there in their imagination. When they "return", they are holding a souvenir coin from their chosen country which they get to keep. Mental Magic at it's best.
3) Mirror Mind
A two stage routine in which the mage uses an antique mirror to read the minds of his audience Then, a spectator successfully does the very same thing.
4) Room 7
A participant enters an imaginary door with a FREELY CHOSEN room number, known only to her. The number mysteriously appears on the back of her hand!
Disc 1 Running Time Approximately 1hr 37min
Disc 2 Running Time Approximately 1hr 44min

Pro Thumper
by Christopher Taylor
The Pro Thumper is one of the greatest devices ever conceived for the working mentalist that has been carefully hand-constructed by Christopher Taylor from Canada, of Equinox and Dead Zone Pro fame. This device was the combined brainchild of Peter Nardi and Christopher Taylor in the quest for a discreet and reliable cueing device for Magicians and Mentalists. The result - the Pro Thumper!
Do not be put off by the fact this is a two person device! The power of the effects possible with this little beauty is unsurpassed!
Christopher Taylor: "I use the Pro Thumper in a multitude of ways. Whenever I am going out with friends or to a place where I am not getting paid to perform, (and as long as my wife or friend in the know is with me) I am set up to blow people's minds at any time."
In the 11 page instruction booklet, Christopher shares with you some of the effects he performs with the Pro Thumper. Please remember the effects possible with this amazing device are only limited by your imagination!

Unconventional
by Christopher Taylor
Effect
Canadian mentalist Christopher Taylor's new book, Unconventional, follows in the path of his highly praised first book, Inside Out. In the new book you will encounter more of the practical ideas for which Taylor is becoming known. Here you'll find a means for determining a spectator's mentally selected card, ala Vernon's classic Out of Sight, Out of Mind. It's even more effective when done with two spectators! Taylor also explores how to use the Classic Force with non-card objects, extensions of secret writing and pocket writing, a new routine for the pocket press (one of the most popular routines from his first book), and uses for the commercial effect Ghost Glass. Several of the routines use Runes, for which Taylor gives many presentational ideas.
