Mathew Overd – Perplexed ( Instant Download )

“Matt is an ingenious thinker and his presentations are always very well thought out and powerful, in my experience. He is a name to pay attention to these days!”
– Kenton Knepper

This act contains a number of original effects from Matt but the main purpose for sharing his ideas is to demonstrate his philosophy and approach to performance. He says “Some perform prop-less Mentalism well but others perform it horribly!” This book is his solution to performing this genre of mentalism effectively. He hopes it will be looked at as more than just a collection of tricks.

Effects included in the book are:

Elijah’s Dream
This is Matt’s wonderfully direct, prop-less star sign divination that utilises one of the most powerful tools Fraser Parker has ever created. He first shared it with Fraser’s inner circle as part of the ‘Moxy’ release and after reading it, Fraser decided this would become his go to star sign divination. It is that good!

ESP Reading
Here Matt teaches a very direct ESP symbol guess that allows you to practice a very underutilised tool in mentalism.

Memories
This routine is strong, direct and looks and feels very real to those who you perform it for. It gives you a clean way to divine someone’s memories. They never say their memory out loud or write anything down. Everything exists as thoughts in their mind.

Infinity Dance
This is Matt’s answer to the ‘Magician’s favourite’, ‘Anniversary Waltz’. It allows two people to connect on a level deeper than ever before. This one is all about the experience.

Close Up Psychometry
The act closes out with a close up variation of Matt’s stage psychometry routine. You will be able to know who’s items belong to who without the need for gimmicks of any kind. You just know!

Bonus Section
This includes Phedon Bilek’s legendary ‘Desmic Imagery’ taken from his book Orion. He gifted this to Matt after being asked for this specific routine because of how well it fits the other work in the book. It is an amazing effect that allows you to obtain many hits off one single billet peek of a name.

ESPeriment No. 2 from Pablo Amira
This is one of Matt’s favourite openers for any environment. Although created for stage, Matt always keeps a mini version in his wallet for close up performances.

Finally, we have an unreleased ACAAN from Mool, which in Matt’s opinion, is the best impromptu ACAAN out there. It is a true anytime, anywhere miracle. Fraser loves the casualness and simple nature of this method and feels it is almost worth the price of the book on it’s own.

Forewords from Mitch Kettlewell and Reese Goodley.

“Matt Overd is an underground creator who has arisen from the depths to release this beautiful piece of work, Perplexed! Amongst the pages of this book, you will find masterpieces to be placed into your repertoire! Some highlights are, Memories, is a memory divination that I have placed in my repertoire to propless reveal a memory from the participant mind and ESP Reading which is a not only a captivating effect for your audience, but a great introductory effect to learn a tool which is underused in mentalism! You will also gain guest contributions from Phedon Bilek, Pablo Amira, and Mool which complement the book during your reading! Matt Overd has been a great creator whose name hasn’t been heard, however, once you read this book, he will cement his name in mentalism history.”

“Matt’s additional thoughts on a variety of effects are both insightful and creative. He’s also a top favorite magician/mentalist of mine. Certainly recommended reading.”
