Als Phedon sich vornahm, die ultimative Q&A-Routine zu entwickeln, waren die Ergebnisse verblüffend. Sogar einer von Phedons engsten Freunden (Romanos) hält dies für die stärkste Routine, die Phedon bisher veröffentlicht hat.Ohne Requisiten, Zettel oder teure Elektronik kann diese verheerende Q&A-Routine jederzeit, überall und zu jeder Zeit durchgeführt werden.

Das mächtigste Material, das man sich vorstellen kann...

„Damit könnte man eine Sekte gründen!“
- Madison Hagler

Es steht außer Frage, dass die „Frage und Antwort“ eine der stärksten Routinen im Mentalismus ist. Dennoch schrecken die meisten Darsteller/innen davor zurück, weil es verschiedene technische und mechanische Anforderungen gibt, die erfüllt werden müssen, um sie überzeugend vorzuführen.

Nie zuvor gab es einen direkteren Weg, um diese Routine in sein Repertoire aufzunehmen. Kein Austausch, kein Stehlen, kein Vorwärtsgehen - dieser völlig requisitenlose Ansatz erleichtert die harte Arbeit, so dass sich die Darstellerin oder der Darsteller fast vollständig auf die Präsentation konzentrieren kann.

Bitte beachte die folgenden Punkte:

• Dies ist ein rufbildender Effekt.
  
• Er kann sowohl in einer Close-Up-Situation als auch vor einem größeren Publikum auf der Bühne vorgeführt werden.
  
• Er ist sehr einfach zu machen.
  
• Er wirkt echt.
  
• Er ist lustig und interessant für alle Zuschauer.
  
• Es ist völlig requisitenlos.
  
• Es ist unmöglich, einen Rückzieher zu machen.
  
• Jede Handlung ist voll motiviert.
  

Das Beste daran ist, dass du die subtilen psychologischen Methoden lernst, mit denen Phedon seine Teilnehmer/innen dazu bringt, jede Vorstellung anzustiften. In Verbindung mit der Fähigkeit, mit den in diesem Buch gelehrten Methoden sehr detaillierte und genaue Vorhersagen zu machen, wird sich jeder Darsteller von seinen Mitspielern abheben.

Zusätzliche Routinen...

"Phedon ist nicht nur ein Wegbereiter. Er ist auch unglaublich großzügig in seinen Veröffentlichungen, und Orpheus ist da keine Ausnahme. Pures Gold!"
- Francis Girola

Neben der "Cartesianischen Frage und Antwort “ erfahren die Leserinnen und Leser dieses Buches auch einige von Phedons am besten gehüteten Geheimnissen, die alle zum ersten Mal enthüllt werden. Phedon beschreibt auch, was seiner Meinung nach die mächtigste Zettel-Routine ist, die er ausführt. Und das Beste daran: Dank Phedons minimalistischem Ansatz braucht man für jede dieser atemberaubenden Routinen nicht mehr als eine kleine Auswahl an geliehenen Visitenkarten und ein Schreibgerät.

Diese Routinen beinhalten

• Drei fragwürdige Antworten.
  
• Hekate.
  
• Sternzeichen & Name.
  
• Die zeitlose Zeichnung.
  
• Murmeln.

A Toolbox of Techniques... 

"Another work of absolute genius!"
- Jamie Badman

Each of these tools has been taken directly from Phedon's own personal repertoire and has been honed to perfection, via countless real-world performances. Readers of this book will also appreciate the far-reaching applications that these tools offer within the routines that they currently perform.

This incredible selection of bonus tools includes:

• The universal vision.

Opening Your Mind...

"If you are interested in mentalism then Phedon's work is remarkable, what I have managed to read of Orpheus so far is genuinely next level!" - Phill Smith In a very fitting tribute to the origins of this book, Phedon also covers a wide variety of thought-provoking subjects. Many of these are designed to inspire, whilst others are designed to challenge the reader's perspective on various elements pertaining to mentalism performance. The revolutionary thinking within these chapters is both refreshing and highly motivating and will no doubt deeply affect the way that the reader thinks about this art form.

These inspiring chapters include:

• Addressing 'THESCAM'
• Plato goes to Hollywood
• Sacred chants
• Plato goes to the movies
• The timorous drawing
• The technology of failing
• & more

As Real as It Gets...

"This work is simply incredible, never have I ever felt more inspired!"
- Michael Murray

There is simply no denying the power of this material, with one early reader suggesting "You could start a religion with this!" and another suggesting that the typical response to 'The Cartesian Q&A' would be something akin to - "This guy started walking through the audience, and was able to describe their thoughts, feelings, and fears just by touching their hand...".

Happily, the presentational options whilst performing this material are so diverse that each of these routines is guaranteed to appeal to each performer in a different way. Even fans of a more traditional 'Sherlock Holmes' style approach will find favor with chapters such as 'The Alpha and Omega'. In short, no matter who you are, or what presentational style you favor, you are guaranteed to find inspiration in this book!

Regarding Reading Systems...

"This is the real deal, pure genius, honestly, there is nothing out there that comes close!"
- Colin Miller

Owing to the global success of his DVD release 'Sibyl', Phedon is widely recognized as one of the leading authorities when it comes to delivering readings. Within 'Orpheus', Phedon details the blueprints to several new, fast-track systems, each providing owners of this book with the ability to deliver confident, accurate readings with very little memory work required.

To accompany the simple yet diverse range of reading systems taught, Phedon also provides a definitive set of psychological safety nets, thus providing a huge sense of reassurance to those who may not have ever given a reading before, whilst simultaneously offering the absolute freedom to jazz for those that have.

No Stone Left Unturned...

"If you thought Orion was great, wait until you read Orpheus! In my honest opinion, I think Orpheus tops Orion."
- Alex Alejandro

Phedon ensures that an unparalleled level of instruction has been provided for every routine within this book. Each explanation is backed up by a written, illustrative account, taken directly from one of Phedon's own personal performances. As the old adage suggests, the devil truly does lie within the details!

Not only does Phedon share the complete methods behind some of his most powerful material to date, but he also shares everything that sparked their genesis too. By the time you have reached the end of this book, you will have learned everything there is to know about these routines and will have a firm understanding of the depth and meaning that they carry.

A 'Masterclass' in Revealing Information...

Phedon recognizes that the manner in which we choose to reveal information is one of the true keys to a powerful performance. Having also observed a distinct lack of literature in this regard, Phedon sought to address this balance with the release of 'Orpheus'. As such, this book boasts the most comprehensive level of instruction given to the subject of reveals, that has been released to date.

This list of revelation options includes (but is not limited to):

• Names
• Objects
• Destinations
• Exact dates of birth
• Questions & concerns
• Plus so much more besides

What is especially interesting is that not one single piece of this information has to be written down or otherwise directly communicated by your participant.

Truly Inspirational...

Upon completion of 'Orpheus', Phedon sent a draft copy of this book to a select number of his closest friends in return for their thoughts. The reaction to this material was incredible, with every one of them feeling inspired enough to share their own personal perspectives, alternative handlings and additional tools with Phedon in return.

With very kind permission from such names as Dr Bill Cushman, Francis Girola, Madison Hagler, Matthew Sims & Warren Thackeray this treasure trove of bonus thoughts have all been collated together and are included within each relevant chapter of Orpheus for the reader to enjoy.

Note: Phedon assumes no prior knowledge in relation to any of this material, and therefore no ownership of his earlier works is required.
