Why Not Docc?
Mentalism and Magick is arguably the most noble of pursuits. Both are reliant upon the enjoyment of others. When an audience of any size, from one to one hundred, enjoy a mentalism effect or magick trick, the hobbyist also finds joy. Many hobbyists take their joy to the next level and become professional.
The new Not Docc company has retooled every aspect of the business. With a new dedication to customer service and more cost effective ways of getting more information to more people, Not Docc is committed.
Docc is enthusiastically offering fresh, new and original effects for both the amateur and the professional. We know there are countless effects, puzzles, gags and tricks available, so we're devoted to making sure each customer gets what will bring the most enjoyment possible. Often this means eliminating difficult sleights and sometimes it means creating a new sleight, but always it means you'll be able to perform the effect with confidence.
"Docc has a special gift. He can describe an effect with such dramatic clarity that you feel as if you’ve watched it being performed just by reading it. Combine that with his use of secret methods which are fooling, practical, and designed to be presented to real audiences. He’s got classic taste, modern constructions, and forward thinking approaches. In a craft crowed with imitations, Docc is a true original."
If you’re looking for well thought out, road tested mentalism, enter Docc Hilford. Unlike the pipe-dream effects flooding the market—those half baked, impractical ideas that fall apart under real world conditions—Docc’s creations are built for workers. These are effects with teeth—practical, powerful, and designed to captivate audiences, not bore them into a medical-grade coma. Docc doesn’t just theorize about mentalism; he lives it, and his material reflects that. Whether you’re an enthusiast looking to level up or a full-time pro who demands rock-solid material, this is what mentalism should be—real world, high impact, and built for performers who give a damn.
I’ve been performing full-time for over 30 years, and there’s not a single performer I can think ofwho has influenced my performing style and repertoire more than Docc. He has a unique ability to cut to the heart of an effect, strip away the fluff, and leave you with a turbo-charged miracle. Docc’s products are worth many times what you pay for them, and are suitable for any level ofexperience. Whether you’re a newbie, a hobbyist, or a full-time pro, there’s something here foryou. I can’t count how much I’ve earned through the years performing Docc’s material; but don’t just take my word for it- find out for yourself!
“Docc's ability to pull five climaxes where most of us only see one is remarkable. His effects are an explosion of amazing that leave the audiences gasping. I continue to study his work.”
