Testimonial

 

From Wiley Allen:
"Everyone needs to get Michael Likey’s new book Ghosts & Spirits right now!
I just got mine delivered and just from a five minute skim I have read more valuable information on performing bizarre style magic than from pretty much any other book I have read so far.
Everything from your mindset to costumes to preparation is in here.
Not to be missed."

Book Tour

 Book tour in support of #GhostsAndSpirits Oct. 12th-Nov. 16th.

Both magicians and lay-people alike are buying my latest book, and I'm really thankful! Not that I get rich from my book sales, but rather because I have the opportunity (when publishing my hardcover and paperback books on #Amazon) to share information that might otherwise either go unnoticed, or be inaccessible. When writing this one, I had no specific agenda, except to share what I know up to this point in my life about cults, techniques/deception (often times innocent and ignorant self-delusion) in the New Age genre, as well as legitimate and well-intentioned people in the realm of metaphysics and the mystical. This book is not for all magicians, nor is it necessarily intended for all mystics and psychics, because I'm basically a SCEPTIC at heart, and until something is PROVEN to me to be empirically real, I don't believe it nor promote it. Everything I have ever offered in the past is because it's been proven to me to work, and to be of benefit to others. This holds true for me today for everything I do and offer, as well. And now, from the Foreword, written by Anthony Darkstone, President of the International Assembly of #TheSocietyOfAmericanMagicians: I am pleased to provide a foreword to another of Dr. Michael Likey's books. The title, at first glance, may seem like a treatise on just a topic. However, the book goes much deeper than that and explores in detail some of the practices involved on how certain aspects of contact are made with Spirits & Ghosts. It makes no claims of Ghosts & Spirits being just the figment of one's imagination; neither does it make a case to the contrary. What it does do is to provide the reader with a superb collection of facts and relevant information. In particular, the section on Cold Reading provides several insights. An added bonus is that the entire work stimulates thinking. A scholarly work on the topic. It contains many practical and theoretical aspects of this intriguing subject. Being a skilled Author, he yet again achieves this by the use of his vast knowledge of techniques both ancient & modern. He further draws from his own empirical experience as a Tarot Reader, Tai Chi Sifu, TV personality and Magical Entertainer. All in all a fascinating read for aficionados, true seekers and indeed also for the merely curious. I daresay if Houdini, the Fox sisters , Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and others of their ilk were alive today they would certainly enjoy this work. Dr. Anthony Darkstone Parapsychologist & Psychic Entertainer Member of The S.A.M. Paranormal Investigation Committee. Available in #Hardcover and #Paperback from #Amazon:

September 24th

 


September 24th!
To register:


Wednesday on v1.3

Host Mandy Davis is excited to introduce you to Paul Regan.
Who is Paul Regan?
Paul came (relatively) late to magic but, with a background in performance, it wasn’t long before he was making money at the world famous Magic Corner in London’s Covent Garden. Since then he has performed in all manner of places - from the usual clubs, bars, and parties, to his one man show ‘Illusions of Depression’ which was staged at Fringe Shows around the country, winning excellent reviews and allowing Paul the chance to play with, and in some cases subvert, the themes and ideas that surround the magical craft.
Having previously worked in rights advocacy, as well as personal experience involving mental health issues and learning difficulties, Paul strongly advocates for equality within magic. A passionate believer in magic’s ability to bring out the best in all of us, Paul enjoys continually seeking ways to focus on and improve the enjoyment of each routine for the public.
Paul's lecture, 'A Magician's Choice', looks at some of the fundamental choices magicians make concerning their magic and style. He may not provide a lot of answers, but he does try to create a lot of useful questions.
Join Paul Regan and host Mandy Davis Wednesday September 21 at 8pm UK 3pm Eastern for v1.3
