Velvet Ropes
A fully updated manuscript on Docc's original spirit rope tie. It's literally an INSTANT release and return to examinable knotted ropes. Comes with the UPDATED illustrated manuscript and video that will teach you this original FLASH spirit rope tie.
Two 12’ ropes are tied around the medium’s legs and wrists. They’re examinable at any time and prove to be secure from every viewpoint. Yet, the medium is instantly released and rebound at any time.
This is all a one man operation (including tying) and completely original in its method and application.
The Haunted Chair
A second A fully updated manuscript on Docc's original handling of The Haunted Chair effect. In this routine SEVEN different animations take place with a borrowed chair.
This routine is an act in itself.
Any chair is moved by an unseen spirit hand on its two legs! Front, back and both side legs! It balances there subtly leaning back and forth. The chair moves, is pushed and held in SEVEN different ways by the spirit. THE MEDIUM STANDS feet away from the chair! He is obviously incapable of having any influence on the haunted furniture. This is a truly frightening vision.
Once the REAL method of this effect is learned, it will become a stage illusion you keep in your pocket.
