On this DVD, you'll learn a host of minor miracles that can be performed with everyone's favorite ordinary item - money. Bills and coins grab interest immediately, and can be rustled up at a moment's notice, making the tricks on this DVD ready to perform practically any time and anywhere. And best of all, there's no difficult sleight of hand to learn.

With DVD Technology, these tricks are extremely easy to learn. By freezing frames, jumping to specific performances and explanations, mastering these tricks becomes elementary for everyone.

This DVD will teach you how to:

-Balance a dollar bill on your hand and cause it to slowly lay down on command!
-Push a pencil through the center of a bill yet leave no hole!
-Vanish a marked penny from one hand and cause it to appear under the other!
-Cause two bills to melt through each other - right under a spectator's nose!
-And much, much more!

Make a pen stand up and write the exact word a spectator is thinking . . . all by itself! Predict a corporate image chosen by a CEO! Reveal the serial number of a borrowed dollar bill. All these and more are included in this DVD. These effects run the gamut from psychokinesis, telepathy, predictions and psychological influence.

Make the value of a spectator’s playing card slowly appear on your arm in blood red . . . anywhere, anytime! Reveal a thought-of number from across the distance separated by phone lines. Engage two people in a fun routine where the performer predicts a page number and a word “seen” by a volunteer on an invisible Palmtop computer. Become a human lie detector in a thrilling and comical adventure. This DVD continues from Part 1 with close-up, stand-up and stage mentalism and mental magic with additional routines including anywhere, anytime effects plus staggering psychological ploys. Learn a multi-phase routine weaving audience direction and sleight-of-hand into one smooth effect. Also, learn the “inside” secrets of what Banachek considers one of the most powerful tools in the mentalist’s arsenal … Pocket Writing. This DVD includes Banachek’s discussion of his “Buried Alive” escape, his Bullet Catch illusion now used by Penn & Teller, the difference between mentalism and mental magic plus comical anecdotes about blindfold drives. You will also see a television clip of Banachek’s “Buried Alive” escape hosted by William Shatner and TV footage of one of Banachek’s early Blindfold Drives.

Do you want to find a needle in a haystack? Using the power of your mind and a little help from your volunteer, you can find anything through your heightened sense of touch. Almost anything you can do in mentalism can be re-enacted using Psychophysiological Thought Reading. This DVD also includes Banachek’s first national television appearance. Here he uses the Psychophysiological response to find a playing card hidden in a shopping mall.

Learn how to bend cold, hard steel with the “power of your mind.” Make physical objects move, twist and curl up like a wet noodle at will. In true Banachek style, each move, gesture and psychological subtlety is covered in detail. This DVD stands alone from Banachek’s previous work by presenting new, additional details and methods on bending silverware. This also includes methods of bending coins keys, nails, and spikes plus moving objects like pens and pencils. Included is the true story behind Banachek’s participation in the Alpha Project, a four-year study that culminated with scientists validating Banachek’s “psychic” powers that propelled him into the national spotlight!
