Lebanon Circle Magic is proud to present Professor BC’s CONTACT, a phenomenal evolution in his Doppelgänger line that can only be described as a super-Doppelgänger. Originally devised to be a one-off for the good professor’s personal act, the Doppelgänger community has succeeded in encouraging him to release CONTACT as the next Doppelgänger ‘book test.’
 
But ‘book test’ hardly describes CONTACT, which has been conceived and built to do nothing less than produce subtle but genuinely convincing Bibliomancy message manifestations—with a revolutionary, ‘spirit control,’ self-working method.
 
In the interest of full disclosure, because this piece originated as Professor BC’s unique presentation, one of the potential routines in CONTACT suggests that the phantom presence is the author himself, M.R. James, while another (called “The Impossible Page”) works best if the performer has a reasonable grasp of M.R. James’s ghost stories and can communicate that understanding in a brief and entertaining manner. Prof BC, however, gives you all you need to craft this specificity into your own personalized presentation.
 
Although dustjackets on 1931 books are rare indeed, CONTACT includes one because, first, it gives this volume a neat-and-different look and, second, the good professor owns such a rare dustjacket and has elected to share it with you.

Presented as a full-light, full-length experiment in Bibliomancy, CONTACT takes at least 55 minutes to perform and builds upon one spirit communication after another, rising steadily in the performance from that-just-might-be-real to OMG! The numerous effects available with CONTACT, however, are completely separable and may be very effectively presented by themselves in isolation, to-wit:
 
 
The standard Doppelgänger set of presentations:
 
    ▪ This is a Doppelgänger with all the flexibility of and routines available in the Dopps line (without, however, images for remote viewing or the ‘lollipop pages’ found in some of the earlier Dopps)
 
    ▪ This release also gives you the new Dopps ‘coin flip’ presentation offering a quick, one-off, sudden connection with the spirit world.  
 
 
CONTACT, the routine, is an I Ching-style ‘yarrow stalk’ divination effect with multiple endings:
 
    ▪ Contact with a demonic, threatening entity 
    ▪ Contact with an angelic/blessed entity 
    ▪ Contact with the spirit of M.R. James himself (this element requires a general      knowledge of M.R. James’s books)  
 
 
NUMEROLOGY is a ‘Corrigan Compass’ routine delivering a sledgehammer-blow, full-sentence ‘message from beyond’ which is never the same twice and, therefore, infinitely repeatable:
 
  ▪ This routine comes complete with an added surprise ‘discovery’ that the spirit can actually see the bookmark the spec has freely (truly freely—even secretly) selected (this element requires the performer’s (or spec’s) comfortable familiarity with the story on the bookmark—and Professor BC shows you what you need to know in that regard).   
The new routine methods for CONTACT and NUMEROLOGY are completely self-working. You need only follow your script . . . the book, bookmarks, and the spirits(?) do all the work.
 
    ▪ No arithmetic (a calculator is openly & fairly used in numerology)  
    ▪ No mental calculations (truly self-working)  
    ▪ No peeks  
    ▪ No call-outs  
    ▪ No stooges  
    ▪ No dual reality  
    ▪ No equivoque (every selection & decision is truly random)  
    ▪ No forces  
    ▪ No preshow  
    ▪ No setups  
    ▪ No reset required—always ready to perform  
    ▪ 645 pages of Biblio-mastery!  
    ▪ Book may be read cover-to-cover without tipping the method  
 …and you get The Collected Ghost Stories of M.R. James to read!
 
“This might just be the Everest or Holy Grail of Bizarre-Magic Bibliomancy!”

Please note -

Contact is nearly twice the size of earlier Doppelganger releases, leading to its elevated price point. It faithfully reproduces the 1931 edition of 'The Collected Ghost Stories of M.R. James', a work currently valued at approximately £700. As per tradition, Professor BC's Doppelganger books continue to earn esteem as prized investments for dedicated collectors and performers alike.

As with all Doppelganger releases, CONTACT is strictly limited to 100 copies.

In order to make sales fair, I am unable to reserve advance copies.  No numbered COA (Certificate of Authenticity) is provided, so please don't request numbered copies.
