This lesson involves a technology which was revolutionary in its time, but has become quite commonplace now... I'm talking about glow-in-the-dark paint.

In the 1920's, a magician named S.W. Reilly developed a superior luminous paint which he named "Ghostlite," and he created quite a few magical uses for it.

Now, even though modern audiences won't be shocked to see things glowing in the dark, if used properly, the effects can still be fun and surprising.

And, a few of the effects use luminous technology in hidden ways. Plus, it's easier than ever to find the materials to construct these unique ideas.

I've deviated from the original lesson (which consisted of a number of isolated ideas) and instead, I've put it all together into a cohesive routine.

In fact, it's a full performance piece that can make you a lot of money during Halloween... or any time of year you want to sell something a bit different.

You'll learn how to test your spectator's psychic power to see if the spirits are willing to come out and play.

I'll show you how to have a ghostly apparition reveal a chosen card sealed in an envelope, and even give you a portable, self-contained version.

Then, see how to animate an eerie, glowing piece of chalk to deliver a personal message from the great beyond... Signed by the spectator's choice.

Also, a ghastly hand reaches from beyond the grave to retrieve one of its owner's belongings hidden by the spectator, but visible in the darkness.

Plus, I'll teach you to create many other odd manifestations, including a strange spectre ready to spring out at any moment from the most unexpected place.

And, as a bonus, you'll learn a couple of techniques for summoning spirits under "test conditions" while you are being restrained.

Of course, I explain every detail, including how to build the perfect table that allows you to perform the entire act without any extra assistants.

That's right, these are practical poltergeists for the professional performer. So, get ready to see just how much fun you can have when the lights go out.

Ghostlite Mysteries Report this review

This is not for me, but if you're interest is in ghosts, spirits, séances, et al Dan put a tremendous amount of time and effort into explaining the body of this chapter. What was disappointing was the inability to see the luminous glows of some of the tricks on the TV/computer screen. You can hear reactions from the live audience, so presume it showed up better live. Dan is meticulous in covering methods, setups and presentation of a "spirit act" and in the construction of a prop-table for his act.

You've a complete solo act Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 19th, 2015
Isn't great but is worth it you'll get a cohesive kind of comedy seance 30 min act. But you'll have to spent at least like $150 to get this down. I think Dan did a decent act but I felt it could be so much more.I'll definitely use some of his ideas but with different props and I recommend you to do the same. Overall I like it. But I wouldn't pay $20 for this.

Very interesting Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 15th, 2021
This is a different one. Not too many effects deal with the type of stuff in this lesson. All in all, Dan teaches you everything you need to perform the effects and you can tell the audience had fun. As a bonus he teaches you how to make a table and make it so that you can break it down without any tools.

I liked it Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 28th, 2020
The corner seance table is great (not the kind that falls apart or floats, but a utility table enabling effects). The blackout tricks are also very good. Focusing on the luminous paint could be a disappointment, but these other aspects worth it.

Still workable material Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 31st, 2015
The material used for this is a bit out of date by today's standards - everyone knows about it so it's hard to use it in a mysterious way. Dan has taken material that is reaching the end of its life, and recreating it for today's market.

I definitely got some ideas for my seance routines using the techniques Dan teaches on this video.

Highly recommended for someone who's willing to put some effort into making it work for a modern audience.

A fun experience for Halloween! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 23rd, 2015
When performed by an energetic and irreverent comic magician this will SLAY! I had LOADS of fun watching Dan's performance and it is easy to hear that the audience did too!

Don't let the whole seance thing fool you into thinking this will be boring for the common lay audience, this builds into a loud and boisterous show. Imagine a seance at a frat party.

HOWEVER, much of this material can also be adapted into a more serious seance aesthetic.
I LOVE the effect in which the spectator picks an object while Dan's back is turned and the "spirit" knows which object was chosen.

If you want to give an audience thrills and chills as well as a ton of fun and laughter this Halloween get this!

Great for Story Line and Theme Work Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 24th, 2023
After watching this, the props encourage several ideas such as pics of gun slingers for an Old West type prop. Very great information to accompany the Tarbell Basics

If you like seances and 100% darkness, this is a good one. If you do not like seances, you will be very disappointed ...
