pointed by a participant, to reshaping it into the face of a beloved one. It involves
intense audience participation, and since almost all of the techniques are totally
impromptu, it will give you the capacity of performing miracles wherever you go.
Using psychology as its back bone, the methods described here will provide you
with an illusion perfectly suitable for an intimate performance, or a publicity stunt.
"Illusion" is a force of nature, as powerful as electricity or nuclear power. Illusion is
the energy source that has us waking up in the morning, living our lives, or refusing
to live them; surrendering, or surpassing our many obstacles; creating our limits, or
going beyond them. Following illusions, men have been capable of committing
the most horrendous acts, and also the most sublime. Being a magician implies
having the courage of channeling such energy, not to feed an ego-trip, but to
create and propose alternative realities where people can see themselves again,
with fresh eyes, and feel uplifted.
If we strip magic of the rituals that give it its particular shape in each culture
around the globe, and we reduce it to its bare-bones, we will find that the
common denominator of all magic is the intentional use of symbols to engage the
human mind in an act of transformation. What could be more powerful than
transforming the sky? I truly believe we must hope great things from our magic. If
we do so, we still run a huge risk of falling short, but at least we have a chance of
being memorable. If we set for less, we may achieve exactly what we had in mind
and perceive no failure in our quest, but we will be doomed from the start.

 Advanced Cloud Melting Techniques
By Jerome Finley
This section of the book divulges the advanced methods I have used to accomplish one of
my most profound and legendary effects ever;  cloud melting , also referred to as  cloud busting .
What is cloud busting? Imagine a power so great that it would enable you to tear through
the largest storm clouds ever to shroud the sky in mere minutes. This feat alone will cement your
name and reputation in the minds of your spectators.
 Cloud busting as I do it is completely impromptu. It uses no props other than yourself and
the forces of nature. With intelligent scripting, the best of spectator psychology and suggestion,
and a few little extras you will be bending the weather at will.
There is no difference in the effect of cloud busting and cloud melting. I will call what I do
 cloud melting , because I have developed it independently and this will separate my work from
that of others.
The material you are about to read and utilize will help create your reputation as a miracle
worker. Its effect on people is paramount to half of my repertoire.
First Things First
 What we call man, the eating, drinking, planting, counting man, does not, as we know
him, represent himself, but misrepresents himself . . .
By unlocking at all risks his human doors, man is caught up into the life of the universe,
his speech is thunder, his thought is law.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To begin the feat of cloud melting, a bit of psychological setup is needed. For people to
appreciate the huge feat you are about to accomplish, it is necessary for them to know exactly what
it is you are going to do. To accomplish this, a clear and concise explanation is in order.
This initial setup takes place in a variety of situations and for a number of reasons. The best
way for me to teach you cloud melting is to describe and explain everything I do and let you work
with the methods that suit you best.
There are people posing as legitimate cloud busters. Whether or not they are legitimate is
open to discussion. The frame and theory these people work within is based on orgone energy.
These men and women are sometimes also heavily associated with spoon and metal bending.

In my own metal bending demonstrations, I may explain that some doctors today are
actually using spoon bending as a visual and energetic metaphor for healing the human body. They
claim the energy you see at work during the spoon bending demonstration is the very same energy
that would repair nerve damage, restore sight and eradicate disease. They say the difference is you
can see the energy at work outside of the human body. With that in mind, the supposed  energy at
work in the spoons will also move, sculpt or  bust a cloud.
Keep in mind what a strong suggestion this really is! It could be life changing for people to
hear such a statement. Exercise caution in your presentation. You could in fact be implying that
because you ALSO can bend spoons or melt clouds, that you can assist these health impaired [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
