The concept of "Occult 2.0" combines the traditional practices of the occult with modern technology and digital advancements. Occultism has long been associated with ancient rituals, mysticism, and esoteric knowledge. However, in recent years, there has been a shift towards incorporating technology into these practices, resulting in a new era of occultism. With the rise of the internet and digital platforms, information on various occult practices has become more accessible than ever before. This has allowed individuals to explore and experiment with different techniques and rituals, as well as connect with like-minded individuals from all around the world.

Books and lecture notes

A self-taught magician, Andrus preferred to develop his own style rather than learn the craft as traditionally handed down from other magicians, eventually becoming one of the best and most-influential close-up magic performers ever. Routines performed and explained Mylar Mystery A yellow spot on a piece of Mylar turns into a three-dimensional ball which is bounced, examined and then put back into the sheet to become a flat spot.

This has allowed individuals to explore and experiment with different techniques and rituals, as well as connect with like-minded individuals from all around the world. Online forums, blogs, and social media platforms have become essential spaces for sharing experiences and knowledge within the occult community. Additionally, technology has provided tools to enhance and streamline occult practices.

First, let me say that I am not making this post as an ad for a product, even though it does address a new multi-volume video download project I am working with Murphy’s Magic. It’s called “The Andrus Project.” This series will cover the material in Andrus Card Control; actually, the first time that Jerry’s card control approach will be covered in its entirety on video. We will cover chapter-by-chapter and move-by-move.

The first 3 vols have been released as of today with others being released about every two weeks as we move forward. There has been a great deal of positive feedback from magicians who have purchased the downloads. However, there has also been inquiries from magicians who are interested in purchasing the downloads but desire additional information. So, I thought I would make a post here, hopefully this is the right place, and try to address some of those inquiries as best I can.
One of Jerry’s strongest goals or desires in his life was than when he was gone, people would not forget about him or forget about his magic. For those of you who also knew Jerry personally, you most likely heard him express this repeatedly. As many of you know he passed in August, 2007 and now over a decade later, Jerry’s material is receiving a new release. Murphy’s Magic recently purchased the printing and publishing rights to Jerry’s material from Chazpro Magic. They had a desire to take on the monumental goal of preserving all of Jerry’s material, not only Andrus Card Control, on video for the magic community, thus honoring Jerry’s goal and desire.

I came to be involved in this project as a long-time friend and student of Jerry Andrus. I met Jerry in 1975 right before Andrus Card Control came out. Jerry was actually the magician who got me into magic those years ago. I lived in a little town in Oregon, called Albany, also Jerry’s home town. There were only five other active magicians in that little town besides Jerry. Dean Fox, Dwight Vance, who were adults, and three of us who were teenagers at the time. Jim Gamble, Rod Rodgers and myself.
We had the blessing and opportunity to learn Jerry’s material directly from Jerry himself. I know I spent countless weekday afternoons and Saturdays sitting in Jerry’s kitchen at a gray metal typewriter table learning from Jerry. So, when Murphy’s invited me to come onboard this project to teach Andrus Card Control in this series of videos; I was honored and thrilled to be able to contribute to fulfilling my old friend’s desire that he and his material would be remembered in the magic community.

So, there’s the impetus of how this project came into being and now I’ll try and address the inquires about the volumes released so far.

Volume 1: This really is the foundational volume as we cover the Diagonal Jog Push In Control, an hour and a half of in-depth teaching. This volume is needed to be able to follow the other volumes. The contents are:

Volume 3: (Just Released August 30, 2018) This volume covers the workhorse move of Jerry’s, the legendary Sidewinder Shift. As Jerry put it, “This is the move I use the most out of the others.” One additional note. I was able to obtain some rare footage of Jerry performing two of the routines taught on this volume at the Magic Castle. I thought it would be better to allow people to see the old master himself than my demonstrating them. The content is as follows:

• Intro

• Sidewinder Shift to Top of Bottom
• Sidewinder Shift with Multiple Cards

• Sidewinder Shuffle (multiple card control)
• Sidewinder Turnover (reversal)
• Any Card Thought of to Any Number Thought of Performance and Explanation
• Conclusion

These volumes and those being released in the future are and will be available from your favorite online magic store. You can type “Andrus Card Control, John Redmon,” into almighty google and find numerous places that sell the downloads. Just for completeness sake, I am including two links. One to Penguin Magic and the other to Vanishing Inc. I do not have any affiliation with either, I simply know that these are well known distributors.

Well, that’s it gang. Hopefully, I have answered some questions and shared some information that will help you if you decide to pursue learning Andrus Card Control. If there are any other questions just send me a PM here on the Café and I will try my best to help.

Best Regards,
John

Apps and websites dedicated to astrology, tarot reading, and spellcasting have gained popularity, allowing users to access personalized readings and guidance at their fingertips. Virtual reality and augmented reality technologies offer the possibility of immersive mystical experiences, enabling individuals to participate in rituals and explore occult spaces from the comfort of their own homes. Furthermore, the integration of technology into the occult has extended beyond individual practices. Some organizations and groups now use online platforms to organize virtual gatherings, workshops, and conferences, enabling participants from different parts of the world to connect and learn from each other. These digital spaces have also facilitated the exchange and preservation of occult texts and manuscripts that were once difficult to access. However, while technology has undeniably expanded the reach and accessibility of occult practices, it also presents its own challenges. The rapid dissemination of information has led to a lack of quality control and traditional apprenticeship structures, potentially diluting the depth and integrity of certain occult practices. Furthermore, the commercialization of occultism has become prevalent, with an influx of apps, products, and services promising quick and easy solutions to spiritual inquiries. Ultimately, the emergence of Occult 2.0 represents a fusion of ancient wisdom and modern innovation. It highlights the adaptability of occult practices and their ability to evolve alongside technological advancements. While there are both benefits and challenges that come with this new era, it is clear that technology has forever changed the landscape of the occult, making mystical knowledge more accessible and empowering individuals to explore their spiritual identities in new and exciting ways..
