Less than 100 copies of this book remain, and it will not be reprinted.

Gabriel Werlen is best known for his best-selling Green Neck System. This book has sold through multiple printings with rave reviews from the magic community. But Gabriel’s thinking goes far beyond this utilitarian mentalism technique. Sit down at a table with Garbriel and you will be completely fooled over and over. Mark Elsdon said, “Gabriel has also fooled me more times than any mentalist I have ever met.”

Gabriel assembled a small print run of an exclusive book titled The Art of Shaping Perceptions for these appearances. We acquired all remaining copies after these events. We offer them here on a first come, first served basis. These will sell out quickly and Gabriel is not currently planning on reprinting this book.

Much of the material is perfect for a casual performing experience leaving a profound impact on the participants. Here is what it contains:

The Loser wins - Following a presentation of the "Which Hand" routine, where you gain insights into how your participant makes decisions, you'll showcase your ability to anticipate all of their choices in an imaginary game. Which coin will they use, which hand will they put it in, will you guess correctly or not, will the coin show Heads or Tails. Everything was written in advance on a folded paper they keep with themselves until the end. This is a routine that fits in any wallet and is always ready to perform. It has been a part of Gabriel’s stage and close-up working repertoire for years.

U2- What if you could predict the outcome of a Which Hand game between two spectators?

Heads I Win, Tails You Lose (or How to Always Win a Coin Toss) – A simple, impromptu solution to consistently win at a mental coin toss game. The presentation transforms this little effect int a dangerous game where you only have one chance in 134 million to save your reputation.

Know-Way - A devious method for locating a participant's selected card from six or more possibilities. This has been raved about by such magicians as John Bannon, Christian Grace, and many others.

The Life-Changing Decision -This simple yet hard-hitting routine makes for the perfect EDC. Will you dare to risk your future with a simple choice? Will you make the right decision that will secure a fabulous life? An amazing routine you will always carry with just a folded bill and a folded index card. One of the hit effects at the 2024 Promystic Master Mentalism Seminar and worth the price of the book.

The Consolation Prize - If you ever doubted the impact that a 50/50 choice can have, then this routine is guaranteed to blow your mind. It encompasses all the ingredients of a memorable experience: simplicity, suspense, surprise, mystery, and a hint of depth. You present a gambling game to a spectator who relishes taking risks to court luck. Their decision inevitably leads to winning a customized prize: a 'Jackpot' scratch ticket potentially worth much more than the bundle of $100 bills they would have won otherwise.

Here are some of the things magicians and mentalists are saying about Gabriel Werlen:

Mark Elsdon:
"Gabriel Werlen will go down in history as one of the 21 st  Century's greatest mentalism creators. Bold words I know, but easy to for me to say because I have seen, read and studied his material. Gabriel has also fooled me more times than any mentalist I have ever met. And his material isn't just fooling, it's also delightfully clever, the'puts-a-grin-on-your-face-when-you-perform-it' kind of clever."

Michael Murray
“Gabriel is one of my all-time favourite creators.  Everything he releases is GOLD!”
 
Jon Allen:
"I love Gabriel's approach to mentalism. His subtle, and sneaky, methods are a joy to discover in a lecture packed full of real-world tested routines."

Raj Madhok:
“Inexplicable and deeply fooling mysteries that will make your audience’s head spin. Created by the diabolical mind of the Werlen Dervish!”

Tim Trono:
“To See Garbriel is to be fooled. Ingenious, practical, fooling thinking”.

John Bannon:
"Combining new sophisticated principles with smart presentations, Gabriel amazed me over and over again.  I didn't stand a chance."

Phedon Bilek:
“In Mentalism, the path I chose to walk is a little traveled one, one that but a few are taking. For his obsession with psychology, his attention to detail and for the subtlety of his ploys, Gabriel is definitely a traveling companion. I believe that his work will inspire you.”

Christian Grace:
“Gabriel is one of my favorite creators in the world of magic”
