What is Indirection?
This is truly one of the most profound contributions from Kenton Knepper to the understand of effective communication in Mystery Performance.
You dont need to work harder, but smarter, and Indirection is a CLEAR example of this.
Indirection is a subtle way to cause the audience to accept things as true without conscious criticism.
This manuscript details new effects and techniques based upon this powerful principle. From making "standards" truly remarkable (such as the Linking Rings, Egg Bag and even the Lota Bowl) to new works such as Kenton's "Indirection Bowl" direct from the opening of his act and Bowl lectures, or Kenton amazing take in the "Drawing Duplication" (featured also in his Penguin Lecture), to Kenton's "Silent Bells" aka "Jingle Balls", to one of Kenton's compass moving methods, and more great ideas are examined in detail.
Once you grasp the principle, you'll apply it to nearly everything you do. Kenton's use of making a compass move while attempting metal bending is in here too.
The majority of effects described are magical in nature, though some mentalism is of course included. Magic examples make for the easiest and quickest way to grasp the indirection concept, that you may then apply to mentalism and everything else you do. While effects may be magic oriented, this will not dissuade the thinking mentalist who is after principles, not simply tricks.
This manuscript will change how you look at everything you do in performance. The simple concept of "indirection" will radically alter our magical and mental arts - if we but think and apply this remarkable tool.
