My new pair of sun glasses came in the mail yesterday, along with all
of my art & drawing books. I've been playing with the sunglasses
downtown today, because it was such a beautiful easy going summer day
with tons of people out and about. The sun glasses look incredibly
cool, and they are fashioned with 2 mirrors on the edge of the
sunglasses, that are totally invisible.
It is hard to imagine how you could fit mirrors inside of sunglasses
without looking like a geek, but it is an incredible inventiion. The
mirrors are only half silvered, so they blend in perfectly with the
lenses. It is done just right, and the sunglasses are made flat, so
the mirrors catch more of the area behind you.
All it takes is a sleight turn of the head, and you can literally see
everything behind you. You can scan the area behind you with either
the left or right mirror, seeing what everyone is doing. Like most
mirrors however the only flaw is that if you are facing into the
light, and shadows are behind you, the mirror isn't as reflective.
These aren't those spy-glasses sold to kids, these glasses are made
for professional illusionsits like Chris Angel, and they are really
cool. After I went to see the David Copperfield show, my friend came
up with this idea himself, and only a few weeks later I found them
being sold online through master of illusions. They are the holy
grail of optics. It is actually scary when someone remote views you
with thier back turned & a dark pair of sunglasses on. It is so easy
my mom can even do it, and she spooked me out!
When I was downtown, instead of putting on a show, I just watched
people across the street, with my back turned. I saw some really
strange stuff going on, because people have their own sense of when
someone is looking at them and when they are alone. They also make
great rear view mirrors when I'm on my bicycle. It actually makes you
feel like you are psychic because you can spy on everyone & they don't
even know your doing it. For example the kids sitting across the
street from me kept making these unsual hand signs, and adjusting
their posture. All I did was immediately sit up straight, as they
changed their posture, and I could see in the mirror shades that they
mimed me & straightened theirs up. I saw a couples kissing, when they
thought I couldn't see. I even caught a drug deal going down. These
things are incredible!
The manual explains how to do tons of cool effects, and I don't want
to give anything away. But they are really useful in real life too.
I think they are a really good therapy for autistic children, or
schizophrenics. Because it lets you see just how much bigger the
world is than your own personal domain of influence. I mean as soon
as someone gets out of your site & doesn't think anyone is watching
things start to look completely different.

Master of Illusions Entertainment Presents Peter Loughran's
MindShades.
MindShades is a specially designed and custom-fabricated pair of
stylish and modern sunglasses that enable the performer to retrieve
secret information undetected by the spectators. MindShades employs a
technology that was once used in the world of espionage. However, many
of these earlier glasses were cheaply made, and more to the point are
now out of style. After painstaking research and development, Peter
was able to re-master the technology and greatly improve the quality.
The result is a stealthy device manufactured into a professionally
fabricated pair of quality glasses.
Do not confuse MindShades with other glasses that employ similar
technology, but instead use cheap lenses and frames that are out of
style. These inferior products are generally so poorly constructed,
that the secret technology is very easily detected. In stark contrast,
MindShades are made with top-quality frames designed with today's
modern fashions in mind, and the lenses utilize a more advanced
technology that renders the gimmick invisible! For this product, one
manufacturer specially constructed the stylish frames, and a second
company re-mastered the lens technology for MindShades. These glasses
have been designed and built for professional performers living in
today's modern times, and were created for use in professional
applications. The best part is that MindShades look and function like
regular sunglasses! You will be able to take these with you
everywhere, and perform modern, impromptu miracles on demand without
any set up.
With Peter Loughran's MindShades, you receive the special glasses and
also the core of the product-the instruction manual. This handbook
outlines several audience tested routines that have been well thought-
out and designed. In addition the booklet contains several different
techniques, styles and ideas that will help you to create and perform
an unlimited number of effects. These miracles range from mind-reading
effects, unbelievable card miracles without forces or gimmicked decks,
seemingly dangerous acts that are completely impromptu, and incredible
feats that would normally cost you thousands of dollars in gimmicks
and props! All of these effects do not employ invisible ink, secret
writing, etc. To be more precise, these versatile glasses let you see
many other things that you are not supposed to see, all in ways that
are completely undetected by the audience.
MindShades offers you a lifetime of impromptu effects that are limited
only by your imagination. Using just one of the performance techniques
included in the instructions will enable you to perform and create
entirely different acts over and over again with just this one prop!
MindShades is one item that won't be left in your magic drawer; it's
perhaps one of the only props that you will need to leave your house
with.
Here are just some of the routines and performance techniques listed
below that are included with MindShades:
Mindscape
Third Eye
Cheaters
Mind Trap
In the Shade
Ninja Force
Shades Down
Mind Epic
7th Sense
MindShades also come with their very own high quality, vinyl-bound
protective carrying case.
MindShades is perfect for magicians and mentalists, and is great for
stage, and outdoor performance situations/venues such as fairs,
amusement parks, walk-around, family BBQ's, and street work.
MindShades were designed with flexible spring joints on the arms, so
that this pair of ultra-cool shades will fit practically any sized
face. They also boast synthetic arm padding that goes over the ears,
and the lenses offer UV protection from the sun, so you can wear these
glasses all day long in total style and comfort!
A pair of regular sunglasses of this quality can cost over $100, but
MindShades is a specially gimmicked pair of top-quality glasses that
won't cost you anywhere near that amount! And best of all, MindShades
is ready to go the minute you take them out of the case. There is no
set up, and the trick requires virtually no mechanical skills, thereby
leaving all of your practice time dedicated to performance, patter,
techniques and routines.
Peter Loughran's MindShades comes complete with MindShades,
instructions and routines, technique styles, and a high quality vinyl-
bound protective carrying case.
The Possibilities are endless!
