Descriptif original
anglais :
Dunninger Knows provides a rare opportunity to learn about
the incredible Brain Busters Dunninger performed as well as providing
the information to incorporate them into your own act.
In 2001, Joseph Atmore authored Dunninger's Brain Busters which covered
primarily Dunninger's radio work. In the ten years since publication,
Atmore have collected a huge amount of TV scripts, researched the
popular and magic press, conducted interviews with cast and crew and
located film footage of his television work. Heck, he even recreated
his radio show This new book covers all of his television series in
chronological / airdate order and some of his guest appearances on
other shows. The "in between series" years are also covered. There is
quite a lot of the behind the scenes history into his four series and
rare and unique photographs and documents are included to tell the
story. While consulting on Uri Geller's show in Germany a few years
ago, he even tracked down a 1955 television film in Europe.
Over 100 Brain Busters are examined by not only me, but Banachek, Jan
Bardi, Stuart Cumberland, Ken Dyne, Lee Earle, Mathias Fischedick,
Nicolai Friedrich, Devin Knight, Looch, Drew McAdam, Colin Mcleod, Max
Maven, Richard Osterlind and Marc Paul. The foreword has been written
by the International Man of Mystery, David Berglas who can truly
understand Dunninger's impact to the world of mentalism. Methods are
provided and in some cases, multiple methods are developed for the
routines. In cases where a routine would need to be modernized for
today (which actually is the rare exception), that information has been
provided.
"For the last 5 years, Joe has been a consultant on my
international live television series, Phenomenon aka The Next Uri
Geller. Almost immediately when he joined the team, I learned about his
fascination with Dunninger. We've had many conversations about
Dunninger's impact on mentalism and his creativity and boldness.
Dunninger Knows presents a scholarly look at his television work. I
usually never read magic books but Dunninger always fascinated me, so I
couldn't resist! After reading the routines in Joe's book, I now know
why he was always trying to incorporate some of Dunninger's routines
into my show!"
Uri Geller
" This book is the result of years of passionate research,
giving us an insight into the life and career of Dunninger. Most of
these anecdotes would have been lost to our history without Joe
Atmore's meticulous work. This is a rare opportunity to get inside the
mind of Dunninger."
