"Timothy Hyde’s The Magazine Memory Effect contains a wealth of essential information for anyone wanting to perform any type of memory effect. He starts with an overview of two basic memory systems, and then teaches the magazine memory. I loved the tool he uses to aid memorization. It also make it easy to practice the effect anywhere you happen to be. Timothy then goes on to teach, in detail, his version of magazine memory.
This is exactly the information I would have loved to have had when I was performing this effect. I learned how to do it from Tony Andruzzi’s tape, and never turned it into the show stopping effect that Timothy has.
I used a single copy of Time magazine. In his routine, Timothy uses five current magazines. One is chosen and the pages are distributed throughout the audience. Timothy tells people what is on the page they are looking at in the usual way, but also involves glimpses and his numbering system to create confusion in the audience’s minds about whether he is using memory or reading their minds.
Timothy has excellent ways to create what he calls “The Big Finish.” My favourite is his use of other effects within the main routine. Timothy also includes an After Show Challenge, which is the perfect way to keep people interested long after the show is over. It’s also the perfect way to get people to visit your Back of the Room sales table.
Timothy has obviously performed this effect hundreds, if not thousands, of times, and in The Secret Notebooks of Mr Hyde – Volume 2 he shares every subtlety and detail he has learned. Before reading this book I thought I knew everything I needed to know about this effect. In fact, I knew very little. Timothy has turned this effect into a masterpiece. Highly recommended.”
“Reading Mr. Hyde’s ebook gave me the motivation to do this effect!”
“What a wonderful book. Timothy has provided a comprehensive look at the Magazine Memory effect. I have read no other text on this that gives this much color, detail and insight into the methodology and the performance of this classic mentalism effect that only comes from careful examination and extensive performance. In fact, Timothy describes his own memory nuances that will improve your memory work at least 10% (if not better). Mr. Hyde gives several options, so you can decide which best works for you. In fact, he offers some suggestions on expanding some methods you may already know, great ways to practice and a number of wonderful ways to utilize this in your own performance.. Not only do I highly recommend this for those who perform this routine, but more importantly, if you have the slightest inclination that you might want to, then read this and you will. Timothy rightly positions this skill with the powerful psychological tools of the mentalist like muscle reading and suggestion. Timothy is giving away REAL POWERS. Use wisely.”
“Timothy – I read it through and I think it’s wonderful. This is, of course, a fabulous effect, but as you rightly point out some performers are often just a little but too timid to try it out. I think it’s very well written and easy to understand with some nice twists and turns on the basic concept. I must say, I have always been waiting for this effect to become the next “in” thing. Your excellent manuscript may just kick that off! Highly recommended.”
“I love memory effects yet have always concentrated on Giant Memory. After reading Timothy’s version of the magazine memory effect it is time to turn the page. Everything is clear, concise and practical. It is obviously borne of much experience. Everytime I thought he was done, Mr. Hyde would introduce another great twist. If you’ve never done a memory effect because you thought it too much work, this will likely change your mind. If you worried an audience might find it boring, Timothy Hyde’s Magazine Memory Effect will definitely change your mind! As much as Volume II is about the memory effect, it is that much more about squeezing every last bit of entertainment out your performance.”
