Royle Reveals – The Jonathan Royle Lecture at The Order of The Magi
Tuesday 9th August 2016
Report by Stuart Cassels
President Elect of The Order of the Magi
The second of a series of three great Summer lectures at The Order of the Magi saw the return of my good friend and colleague, Hypnotist, Magician & Mentalist Jonathan Royle. This was Royle’s third visit to the Magi, and with each lecture the sometimes controversial character brings something different to the table. Not surprisingly, he didn’t disappoint.
Whilst it appeared at first that he was to leave the Hypnosis to one side whilst he concentrated on Magical Effects and Mentalism, it soon became apparent that much thought and psychology, drawn from JR’s 28 years of experience with hypnosis was put into the handling and presentation of tricks, even starting his lecture with an emotional ploy to set-up a standing ovation 2 hours later!
This was not a lecture designed with the primary aim of teaching a group of magicians* a collection of tricks – and whilst every effect was certainly a real-world workable effect – the theme was to look at taking older effects and with a bit of thought revamp them to make them suitable for today’s audiences. In fact it was interesting to note that the majority of routines discussed originated at least 40 years ago, with some dating back to at least the 1930’s… Jonathan summed this up perfectly, if not with a little tongue in cheek, with the quote –
“If you want to hide something from a magician, write it in a book!”
One effect of particular note was Jonathan’s new ideas on a Mentalism / Chance effect which I have had the pleasure of seeing him perform many times whilst he was touring his successful, but strangely titled “Egg Sausage Peas” show, now given a twist of wife-swapping! The original effect using jumbo ESP Zenner Cards packs small, but plays big – and always gets a great reaction from audiences. In Jonathan’s standard presentation, he remains on the stage by himself, with 5 music stands to display 5 pairs of cards – and this in itself is large enough to fill a small stage. His new presentation sees him joined by 5 married couples from the audience. Immediately a trick that would work just as well as a close-up effect has been supersized to fill a large performance area, yet the basic props required would fit inside an A4 envelope! Add a few comedy wigs and some innuendo, and you start to see the thought processes that have developed through JR’s time working as not only a Mentalist, but also as a Comedy Hypnotist. I suspect that very few members will be putting this new twist into their act as it now stands, however it was demonstrated to show that even the more serious and mundane effects can be presented very differently, and on a larger scale, with some thought.
During his two hour lectumagic lecturee, Jonathan referred to being able to arrive in a new town or city without props, but being able to quickly buy a few small items which required little preparation before presenting a full cabaret or stage show. This was demonstrated perfectly with an envelope, washing line, clothes pegs, A5 cards and a marker pen; all of which can be obtained from a Pound Shop, and be used to make an impossible word prediction that would play well in front of hundreds. Interestingly, the routine originally dates back to 1937, yet bares a little similarity to recently released effects, although using very different methods.
Amongst the other effects revealed were a signed card to box, Jonathan’s Pseudo Psychometry routine, Belly Button reading, thoughts on the Floating Light Bulb, and a “simple” and impromptu routine revealing which bottle cap a coin was hidden under, that had a hint of Smash & Stab, without the danger – which, judging by the reactions of the audience when the method was revealed, is a real fooler.
It seemed that Jonathan would have happily continued his lecture into the early hours of the morning. However time was against us, and his two hour lecture was over far too soon. Not surprisingly he was given a standing ovation by the members of the Magi – was it because of the information packed lecture, or because of the psychology used at the very opening of his presentation? I’m sure it’s the former, but I’ll let you decide.
After attending Order of the Magi lectures, auctions and having been invited to lecture three times over the past 5 years, Jonathan Royle has finally decided to join the Order of the Magi, and I know the other members will make him feel very welcome.

COMMENT ON MY LECTURE AT The
Order of The Magi, Manchester’s Magical Society
On the 9th of August we had the pleasure of Jonathan Royle’s
lecture who again seemed to know nearly everybody in the
room. We were impressed when he produced a Full Wine
bottle on removing his jacket, but in the past has been known
to produce a small fish bowl, a fine effect of magic, but risky! It
was a very good evening of magic with a standing applause at
the end (however he did put the idea into our head during his
lecture). Another memorable evening of Magic at The Magi.

Order of The Magi – 2014
THE JONATHAN ROYLE LECTURE – (JULY 2014)
Reported By Steve Manford aka Stevie Mandini
Published in the “Order of The Magi” Magazine.
Jonathan Royle is a Magician, Hypnotist, Mentalist, Comedian and Psychic and according to his opening trick (which I’ll mention shortly), a w@#*er.
But on top of this, Jonathan is obviously very good at what he does and is very experienced. His skills and shows have taken him around the world and back again.
As he begins the Lecture he honestly and opnely explains, that what he’s about to show us, is magically not very hard to do but very effective and wows the “muggles”.
Starting with a prediction effect, he shows an envelope with JR is a _ _ _ _ on it.
He then shows a deck of cards with words written on the faces and allows an audience member, to seemingly have a free choice, by picking a card behind his back.
Tonight this card said w@#*er. He then opens the envelope to reveal a match!
Now this looks very good, but is deviously simple, however this opener is not about the magic but about psychology.
This trick lowers the guard of the audience, gets laughs and gets them on side as, Jonathan repeats many times through the night “Public don’t like magic”.
He follows with another prediction style effect. Again he admits this is to bring the audience on your side.
Using a play on words at the start to get laughs, this trick would surely lower the audience’s expectations.
Using some classic gags, it has a hard hitting climax with a randomly selected celebrity, which is correctly predicted.
Jonathan talks a lot about psychology and audience management. By lowering their expectations they’ll think what you do later will be truly amazing!
On to the next effect, a very entertaining and clever effect which is guaranteed to get the audiences attention.
Using 5 volunteers, celebrity face masks and showbiz stars on the floor, this is 10 minutes of pure entertainment, with a triple whammy ending.
Russian Roulette! Now I perform one of the effects Jonathan doesn’t like (Devil’s Nail) and have never had an issue but he teaches a very safe, on the fly method, that works, poses little if any risk and is relatively cheap to make.
He does however recommend an even safer method which he now uses instead of his own called T-2 Sterile by Randi Rain
Although I’ll be sticking with the method I’m comfortable with, I learnt a lot from this section. Playing music that raises the tension in the room and clips of the routine going wrong builds up the drama to create an atmosphere of unease amongst the crowd which is perfect for this routine.
He finished with a very novel effect inspired by his daughter’s bedtime routine. The doting dad comes
out in this effect as he talks about his daughter, (the audience will be well and truly onside with this!) Using a book of children’s TV Characters and number flash cards, 4 volunteers come on stage.
This is a mind reading trick with a sucker effect climax which would get a standing ovation every time.
Unfortunately, Jonathan has so much material that we would need a good few lectures to get through all of it.
That being said I think everyone would have learnt something from tonight.
On top of a very good night, Jonathan offered a bargain of a deal on his lecture notes and other material so I hope you all took advantage!
He has recently signed a deal with Murphy’s Magic to release his material, so take a look at your favorite Magic Dealer.

AN EVENING WITH JONATHAN ROYLE – (22nd November 2011)
Venue – The Order of the Magi – Manchester
Reported by Jack Griggs
(Order of The Magi – Manchester & Former Editor of IBM’s “The Budget”)
http://www.orderofthemagi.org.uk/history.html
I suspect that many of our members had no prior knowledge of Jonathan Royle, but the notice of his coming visit in the last Magi Magazine, with what some probably thought were exaggerated claims of what he would deliver, must have whetted their appetite because there was a good turn out of members.
He began by giving information of his beginning in show business, at the age of 3 as a Clown assisting his father in a touring Circus. He wasn’t happy with this and turned to Magic with the aid of library books. He later at the ripe old age of 14 turned to Mentalism & Cold Readings.
This was when I first met him, as having got my address he called at my house. I saw him performing and was surprised at his ability in this field. I can attest to his claim to have made a lot of money at it.
However he gave this up as he was uncomfortable with people believing that he was a genuine Psychic and went back into Magic and Hypnotism.
He went on to describe methods of getting publicity and more bookings and demonstrated how to enhance your performances by using psychological techniques to add impact and heightened audience reactions.
He demonstrated his hypnotic technique with two volunteers. When he stood behind one of them and without touching or saying a word to him caused him to fall backwards, I heard a gasp of surprise from a member sat near to me.
In the second half he performed a couple of Mentalism effects using the techniques and methods of presentation he had been describing. They would not have fooled a highly knowledgeable Magician, but would have appeared IMPOSSIBLE to a layman!
Jonathan has an abundance of confidence and is a most lucid and fluent speaker. Did he deliver what was promised? Well Members of the Order of the Magi must have thought so as they rushed forward to buy his DVD’s which were on sale at a very reasonable price.
NOTE: The Above review was published in The Order of The Magi’s Club Magazine and the quote that follows was said by Jack Griggs (the reviewer) live in person on the night of the event to all who were in the audience after I had finished my lecture..
“If you have not learnt something of immense value tonight that will make you a far better performer, then you don’t deserve to be here!”

THE SOUTHERN ENGLAND MAGIC CONVENTION – 2011 & 2012
After my performance on the Gala Show of the Southern England Magic Convention 2011 in Bournemouth, experienced Magician Mike Danata of http://www.mikedanatasmagicstudio.co.uk/ stated on the Magic Bunny internet forum that:
“Jonathan Royle has a total “Professional” appearance & very commanding Stage Presence, he totally owns the stage”
At the 2011 SEMC – http://www.semagicconvention.com I ran a Hypnosis & Mentalism Workshop on the Saturday evening and then on the Sunday I did a Magic & Mentalism Lecture & appeared on the Gala Show, after the event, convention organiser Collin Richardson stated:
“Many thanks for all your help, for giving a truly educational Hypnosis Workshop, a controversial magical and mentalism lecture and for a totally professional & entertaining Gala Show Performance”
Collin Richardson – http://www.semagicconvention.com
Indeed I must have done something right as this year (2012) I’ve been invited back and am running a Marketing, Publicity & Promotion Success Workshop on the Friday night – http://www.semagicconvention.com/9.html
WHAT SOME BIG NAME’S HAVE SAID ABOUT MY MAGIC – MENTALISM & HYPNOSIS PUBLICATION’S
Here are a few example comments that have been written about Royle’s Various Magic – Mentalism & Psychic Style Entertainment Training Seminars, Books, Products and DVD’s:
“A collection sure to upset many Mentalists and Psychic Entertainers with its revelations and details!”
KENTON KNEPPER – http://www.wonderwizards.com
“Thanks for “The Holy Grail of Mentalism”. There is some seriously good thinking here, I particularly like the section on how to create “real miracles”. I have always believed that truly inexplicable mentalism is only achieved by going that extra mile; you obviously believe the same”
MARC PAUL – http://www.marcpaul.com
“The methods that Jonathan explains are both practical and professional and indeed for the modern publicity and success seeking Psychic Entertainer they should prove invaluable! Royle made his name almost a household word in the UKand in his book he generously reveals his bizarre and unique methods, for the very first time! I feel that all Mentalists, Psychics and Hypnotists can learn much from his modern & pioneering approach!”
MR EDDIE BURKE – MENTALIST & HYPNOTIST –http://www.mreenterprises.co.uk
“Mr Royles suggestions, advice and routines are solid, practical and seem to be grounded in experience! Someone who tried this approach would probably recoup their investment quite quickly and its true to say that Jonathan Royle has used the techniques he reveals to garner an awful lot of Publicity”
MICHAEL CLOSE – MARKETPLACE SECTION – MAGIC MAGAZINE – JUNE 2002 – http://www.magicmagazine.com
“This is interesting, Strange, but interesting. In fact I think that it is the strangest book on Mentalism that I have ever read”
KENNEDY – http://www.mindofkennedy.co.uk
“This is a decent quality release. I love the effect, I am happy with the method and pleasantly surprised at the level of detail in the PDF. The effect on the audience is that they have experienced the perfect Berglas Effect. As the author points out to achieve that there must be a compromise, there is no Holy Grail. The benefits of the compromise used far outweigh the drawbacks. The effect is written up clearly with good explanation and justification for the simple moves that make it work. It is in my mind best used as a stage effect with three people who do not know each other but could be used in other environments. All in all this is a nice piece of work. Well referenced and definitely worth the money”
ANTHONY JACQUIN – http://www.anthonyjacquin.com
“Some of my own favourite material and ruses are in this book – it’s a steal!”
KENTON KNEPPER – http://www.wonderwizards.com
“Jonathan Royle, unconventional hypnotist and mind magician, has been a controversial personality throughout most of his unusual and varied career. But he knows his stuff. Last weekend I was one of a small group of people from a range of disciplines who attended his Mind Magic two-day seminar in Manchester. The group included magicians, hypnotists, therapists, and NLP practitioners, which made for interesting discussions in the bar… The seminar covered magical (’mind reading’) techniques and routines as well as hypnotic techniques. The intention was to provide those attending with the building blocks to apply the techniques and develop routines and applications to suit their own specific requirements. I’ve certainly attended nothing quite like it. (And I mean that in a good way!)This training, I’m sure, is invaluable to anyone who wishes to work in the fascinating field of mind magic.”

COMMENT’S ABOUT THE CONTRIBUTION’S I HAVE MADE TO OTHER LEADING NAME’S PUBLICATON’S
Mental Epic Compendium by Paul Rohmany….
Check out this online review by Kris Johnson of Paul Rohmany’s amazing book “Mental Epci Compendium” –
http://crisjohnsontricktalk.blogspot.com/2011/01/bill-murray-stepped-here-and-review.html
Within it he states:
“Personally, one of the most mind-blowing routines in the entire book is Johnathan Royle’s “Royle’s Thoughts on the One-Ahead Principle.” I challenge you to read this section of the book and not feel energized by what appears to be a simple card routine. It is, for me, one of the most stunning routines I’ve ever read. I only wish I could have seen it performed and experienced the impossibility of it before reading about the work.
While I don’t expect any Mentalist who hates using playing cards in his/her act to be totally converted after reading that section, I do believe that this routine has the BEST chance to cause some of these folks to re-consider some of their views.”
KILLER KONCEPTION’S 2010 – By KENTON KNEPPER
NOTE: The Mentalism Routine referred to below as “HYPNOTIC KILLER” is my routine which appears under my name in this book by Kenton Knepper ofhttp://www.wonderwizards.com
Killer Konceptions 2010 Review by Shane at online-visions.com – check it out here –
http://www.wonderwizards.com/newsdesk_info.php?newsdesk_id=33&osCsid=7bi9svtoolb3cv0mru0cm1qt01
However I quote:
Personally, I found three presentations to be worth the price of the book: “A Haunted Hotel Room” which uses “KK” with pictures of hotel room doors that is just plain creepy; “Hypnotic Killer” which seemingly induces a “KK”-type hallucination onto a spectator; and “Astro Killer”, an idea that moves “KK” into the realm of astrological divination. I’d have been happy if any one of these routines was put up for sale; I’m more so with these ideas being joined by so many other good ideas.

Some Clips from Jonathan Royles SURREAL European Comedy TV
Series “Life In The Bus Lane”
NOTE: This is “character” comedy and the show was described as a “Variety Show Sitcom” where Royle plays many of the characters including his own Sister Mesmerelda..
For the record Royle can do all of the tricks PERFECTLY that he mucks up in the videos, the character he is playing is a strange cross between “Tommy Cooper on Acid and a Nutty Professor type”..
WARNING = This Footage was filmed around 10 years ago now (when Royle Made a One Hour European Television Special and also Six Half Hours in Amsterdam)… and to make total sense you’d be wise to look at the Show Information at….
