Following the worldwide success of the Emotional Mentalism trilogy, Luca Volpe is back with a book featuring a new and exciting format!
‘SHABARA’
was written with one specific goal in mind: to spark your imagination and stimulate the creative process, resulting in a mentalism experience that will deeply touch people’s lives.
It’s the story of a very skeptical young woman named Elizabeth, who reluctantly decides to attend and participate in a mystical show hosted by a magician named SAHABARA
.
Over the course of this one special evening, many, many things happen, which not only compel Elizabeth to become a believer but completely change her views on life itself.
You will not only find beautifully thought-out routines and explanations within the pages of this book, but you will also be part of Elizabeth’s extraordinary journey and witness that the ‘experiences’ are more important than the ‘methods’.
‘SHABARA’
will also teach you how to create wonder, even before you’ve chosen the person who will assist you in your show, and lets you discover how a beautiful script can transform a simple idea into a powerful performance piece.
This book has been crafted, word by word, image by image, to give the reader the full experience of not only seeing but also feeling the story unfold.
Each copy has been printed on premium 80# paper with a black background, white text, full-color images, and a gorgeous hardcover… A true collector’s edition that will take pride of place in any mentalism library.
If you are looking for the latest mentalist trick, then this book is probably not for you. However, if you would like to learn a full emotionally fueled show and simple methods that will help you connect deeply with your audience, then SHABARA
is what you are looking for!
The routines included in this book are:
– Talking to the Moon Q&A Act
– Metronome Heart Beat Sync
– Petals
– You See What You Want To See
– Crystal Connection
– Spreading the Love
– Breathing Joy
Written by Luca Volpe
Edited by Paul McCaig.
Reviews:
“I just finished reading the book. It’s something wonderful; among the many routines, the one with rose petals and ‘Spreading the Love’ are worth ten times the price of the book (and I’m keeping it low). Furthermore, the idea of reading about the impressions and sensations (in the first part of the book) that a “believer” might experience during a performance of this type is very cool—though calling it a performance is almost an understatement; I’d call it a multi-sensory experience. This book can be a great source of inspiration; for me, it will definitely improve my performances for private parties. I already have some ideas on how to improve my program, which came from reading Shabarà. In this challenging historical period, people need something beyond the simple “wow” effect, and this book, along with Luca’s previous three Emotional Mentalism books, will allow you to play in another league. My sincere congratulations, Luca Volpe.”

“This book tells an enchanting story about a mystical act witnessed by two sisters. If I could, I’d pay a fortune to attend Shabara’s performance. I read the story twice before reading Luca’s explanations. Shabara began with “Spreading the Love,” which Luca says is worth ten times the cost of the book. I agree, and I can’t wait for an opportunity to present it. It has the potential to be life-changing, and it’s totally real. That was the opener, and the performance built from there. In the introduction, Luca says that he wrote the book “to spark your imagination and to stimulate the creative process, resulting in a Mentalism experience which will deeply touch people’s lives.”. He’s succeeded wonderfully well.

“Just finished reading Luca Volpe’s book “Shabara”, and for the first time in 45 years of mentalism, it took me 4 days to read a 67-page book, and I’ll explain why! Indeed, to tell the truth, for the first time in 45 years of mentalism, I stopped at page 39, because when the narration of the shamanic show performed by the two spectators who attended it ended, I closed the book and acted as if I had been a spectator of that show: I got up and, in a trance, I left! The next day I remembered that I had to read the “explanations” of the effects, and for the first time ever I realized that I didn’t want to know them—that it was enough for me to have “witnessed” the show of Shabara as narrated in the book! Only after another day did I start reading the explanation of the effects, which will ALL go straight into the lineup of my next show. Yes, because Luca Volpe didn’t just sell us a book of mentalism effects; he first gave us a magical experience—truly magical, made of sounds, smells, and magical words—and then put us in a position to present a show in its entirety that will be a true mystical experience for everyone who attends! A book for refined palates, which, as they say in many advertisements, “will allow you to start your religion and live by doing just this”…. only, this time, you can really do it!”
