The Working Mentalist Dictionary - Large
Everything that has been said about the Dictionary above can be applied to this larger version. It works the same way except it will not fit into you shirt or coat pocket. Maybe a large ladies' hand bag, (not to leave the ladies out). If you have wanted to have a more visible version for pre-show work, here it is for your approval. I have not found that I can use it on stage in Real Time. Maybe the more advanced worker out there will come up with and acceptable way, but until then I will just us it for pre-show. It works very will for that method. Remember that used as a pre-show effect your audience, except for the spectator that helps you, never knows of it's existence.
It comes with the same routine as the smaller cousin above and is not that much more in cost.
Size: 5 inches Wide by 7 1/2 inches Tall by 1 inch Thick

This
bag is the ultimate in see-through forcing bags. Here the
difference is the fact that it looks like something you would get
from your kitchen. The bag is made of Zip-Loc 8 freezer bags and
still has the Zip-Loc© name on the front. Included with the
instructions is a new type of book test that lets you reveal a
whole paragraph as the spectator is reading it to himself. The
big plus is the fact that the spectator may open the bag and remove the
forced slip all by himself, as the front compartment seals itself
when you close the bag. The bag has many other uses. Carlyle has
used it in his Butter Tub headline prediction listed elsewhere in this
catalog. The bags have been praised by top working mentalists such
as Marc Salem of Mind Games fame. In the photo above, can you tell
which
colored slips are in the front compartment and which are in the
back? A very deceptive piece of apparatus. The New Working
Mentalist Forcing Bag comes complete, ready to be used, with
special glue and colored papers ready for your page
numbers.
Small (8" X 8") 3-way $55
Large (12” X 12”) 2-way $55
Large (12” X 12”) 3-way $65
For years it has been a staple in my show. Now
with the war in the
Balkans the bells are too expensive to buy for resale, however
for the individual to buy one is not out of line. Therefore I am
releasing the Manuscript only as there is no work to assembling
the bell. There are no gimmicks to make or things to re-tool on the
bell. All is self-working. All that is needed is a bell, a
pencil, some thread and of course the manuscript. Speaking of
"spirits"- even a wine glass
will work for this wonderful piece.
This
prop is commonly called the "Haunted Key" and is
available
from other sources. Carlyle has taken the original key, aged it and
wrote
instructions for the way he uses his. This is not to say that the
other versions are wrong, just different. To his mind, this work
makes it a more believable effect in the eyes of the spectator. The key
used is
the most well balanced to be put on the market in his memory.
Those that have given up trying to make the key turn and not flop over
after the half way point will love this key. It enables you to do
it in others hands where you might have failed before. The key points
to remember are that you will have a much shorted time learning
to control this key because of the way he teaches you to hold the prop
and the patter lines that make it something your audiences will
understand and believe. You may have tried to find keys
in antique stores and given up... Look no further, here it is
and at a price you can afford. 
Different from any other effect by the same
name. Things
to remember:
No mention made of adding at the beginning, no funny looking
pads; spectators see their numbers after the addition. No need to check
with others to see if it was totaled correctly. Only after the addition
is an envelope, held in the audience,
reveled. One of the cleanest, most straightforward versions on the
market today. Used by Carlyle for years in his show. Now for the
first
time released to the mentalist fraternity in its original version
and in a new and improved version. A must in any great act. A
real repetition builder. May be used as a part of other effects.

The Guessing Game
by Bill VanGorder & Ray Carlyle
Crystal Compatibility
An Effect with a Gravity Lock
By Carlyle & Richard Mark
Yes an effect with a gravity lock. Let me tell you how the audience sees the effect and the 'why' of doing it. That is, how it will fit into your show. You will test the Compatibility of a married couple. The longer they have been married the better. On your table is a stemmed wine glass with six (6) keys inside. Also in the table is a Master Brand Lock. You ask for a couple that has been married some time and that you would like to test their compatibility with each other. You stand the lady some distance from the man who is now on your right. You dump all the keys into your hand and after looking at them, remove one. The man is asked to try all the remaining keys in the lock and drop the keys back into the glass as they are tried if they do not open the lock. They don't! You hand him the last key and it opens the lock. He is to look very carefully at the key and then drop it in with the others. You now place the lock around the stem of the glass and close it. He tries it and yes it is locked. You now walk to his lady and offer her the glass to choose one key. Is she really compatible with her husband? Let's see, She tries the key and it opens the lock. I guess they are compatible.
The lock I recommend is a # 21 as it is smaller and lighter than the #27 that fits most effects. It can be found on page 4 of this catalog. The effect does not come with a lock. It must be bought separately.
PRICE: $10.00 Instructions Only (See page 4 for the #21 lock)
The World Between Two Minds
The Life and Times of
E. Raymond Carlyle
This is my life story. No there are no
magic tricks or Mentalism effects! As I have lived my life I have
come in
con
tact with so many magicians that are now considered
"Greats". To name by a few: Harry Blackstone Sr. & Jr., Dunninger,
Paul La Paul, Dante, Percy Abbott, Neil Foster, Cardini, Bob Nelson, U.
F. Grant, Charlie Miller, The Professor Dia Vernon, Will Rock, Ron
Wilson, Milt & Bill Larson and the list goes on and on. Now in my
74th year I've been telling these stories and many said, " Ed you
should put these in a book." And so I did. Stories like how I met the
Lone Ranger. No not the TV actor, but the radio actors that made up the
cast that for years made us kids tune in every night it was on and I
knew him. WOW! There is also all that I can remember of my childhood,
my teens, my road Ghost show, my time in the Air Force, my two
marriages and my children and the loss of my youngest. How I taught so
many to do magic and mentalism. How I got hired to do the Houdini
Seance at the Magic Castle in Hollywood. My 30 years at 20th Century
Fox Studio and the work on Star Wars. It's all there. And lastly my
membership in the PEA and at the end how they gave me a Life
Membership.
To find out more you will have to read my book . No there is no
tricks to learn, but for those that might be interested in a life of
magic please buy and read - My Life of Magic.
