A NEW APPROACH TO FEAR IN MENTALISM
Step into the darkest corners of your participant's mind with “The Fear” by Lewis Le Val, a groundbreaking exploration of fear designed to evoke deep emotional impact and unforgettable experiences.
In this 38 page PDF, you’ll discover Candle Calling, an eerie and suspenseful Victorian-inspired game that blends storytelling, psychological tension, and dark symbolism to take your audience on a journey they won’t soon forget. But this isn’t just about scares, it’s about the powerful, emotional resonance of dark readings, where participants confront their deepest fears head-on.
YOU’LL LEARN
The Art of Candle Calling: A fictional ritual where shadows come alive and fears manifest. Perfect for a chilling reveal or deeply introspective reading. Whilst sitting in front of a lit candle, your participant literally feels the shadows behind them drawing closer, and manifesting as their deepest, darkest fears. The only rule? They must never turn around, placing their trust entirely in you to describe and reveal what lurks behind them.
Multiple Variations: For different performance environments and personal preferences, multiple options are provided to ensure seamless integration of “The Fear” into your show or set.
How to Perform Dark Readings: Master the ability to use fears like abandonment, rejection, failure and more to craft intensely personal experiences.
Shadow Questions: Precision tools designed to push participants toward emotional release, helping them confront their fears with piercing honesty.
The Fear Seer: A completely impromptu and propless ‘dark reading’ system that will enable you to perceive and describe a person’s deepest fears by simply standing in their shadow.
Warning! The material in this PDF taps into real, personal fears, and when done right, can cause overwhelming emotional reactions. With this power comes responsibility, this is mentalism designed to move, not just entertain.
“The Fear” is an invitation to explore the shadows, awaken something powerful, and leave your audience reflecting on their encounter long after the candle is snuffed out.
Handle with care. Deliver with impact. Experience the power of fear.
