Kenton is a genius. Learn from him.

What Every Performer Should Know About the Power of Words.

Question: Have you ever wondered why some performers almost always seem to have absolute control over their audiences?

If you are looking for the tools and techniques that have helped launch the careers of some of the most successful mentalists and magicians of our time... you've come to the right place!

Find out what they know (that you probably don't) about how to influence people, create long-lasting impact and have greater success in booking gigs.

Using Neuro-linquistic Programming (NLP) in magic and mentalism performances all started with Wonder Words. Even NLP trainers refer to Wonder Words as their favorite training on NLP made practical and easy. Yet Wonder Words goes beyond mere NLP...

Serious performers understand the importance of words in creating powerful performances. In addition, selling yourself becomes much easier if you understand how to use persuasive language in your calls, on your website and in your marketing materials.

You can feel the difference when you're listening to a professional versus an amateur. The professional commands attention while the amateur can only mumble a few words that have no meaning or impact on the audience. It's no wonder they're in constant fear of being heckled. They should be!

Thankfully, Kenton Knepper took the time to wade through all of the NLP source materials, find the gems, test and build on them through thousands of live performances... and then make them available to us in an easy-to-understand, practical format.

Why you should listen to Kenton...

Kenton Knepper began working on influence at a very early age. In elementary school he could be seen dragging around a tome on hypnosis. Later, Kenton became a teacher’s assistant in psychology classes in High School. Kenton grew up working on a hypnosis show with one of his many busy teachers. Kenton also excelled in understanding word power from an early age.

Kenton studied many esoteric and mysterious art forms, always looking for new ways to connect to people at deeper levels, and to help shift the consciousness of those he met towards positive ends. In his magic and mentalism shows he became known for helping people feel happier, healthier, more connected, more awake and aware. Kenton was also keenly aware of illusion and how positive use of illusion could lead people to greater insight and truths.

All of these factors lead Kenton to examine verbal influence, subconscious communication, indirect meaning and influence.

Kenton travelled all over the United States, Canada and Mexico performing magic and mentalism, while secretly honing his linguistic and subtle communication skills. He tested out his ideas with everyone from psychologists, Ericksonian hypnosis practitioners, famous speakers, celebrities and yes, even mentalists. Soon everyone wanted to know what he knew.

Why this is so important...

We've all had those shows where you just can't seem to connect with the audience. At best, they just don't care. But if you really lose control, they heckle you throughout the entire show.

How many gigs have you lost because you couldn't get the client to understand why you were the best choice?

What about the question that strikes fear into the hearts of most performers: "Do you do kids' birthday parties?" That's not a bad thing if that's your market. But if your goal is to work for intelligent, adult audiences, it's the last impression you want your prospective clients to have of you.

How often have you spent good money on some new prop, device or effect... only to find out that it was a complete flop in front of a real audience? Look at some of the most well-respected names in our business. It's rarely the tricks that make them successful. Instead, it's the things they say, and how they say them, that turn a mundane trick into something with real impact.

Wonder Words: The Complete Course

For over a decade Kenton would tip some of his secrets under the guise of magic performance and NLP to a handful of performing students. Eventually, he was prodded to teach an exclusive group of some of the world’s most famous mentalists a little about what he knew. It was this teaching to select students and peers which lead in time to Wonder Words.

The original Wonder Words series was available on cassette tapes (yes, they've been around that long). Then we went to CDs. Then MP3s for each Volume.

We know from experience that trying to digest all this information at once can be like drinking from a firehose. So we're releasing them as a course so you have ample time to digest it and try it out.

Every other week a new segment will be available for download through your Media Library.
