World class mentalism, mindreading and magic using only a deck of playing cards. Unlike his previous publications these pieces require no sleight of hand - and although of a professional nature can easily be learned by the novice.
Each routine has a video link to both performance and explanation which in effect offers a free DVD which is an invaluable teaching tool.
A mentalist is a magician of the mind. And like a good magician he/she creates a sense of wonder, amazement and awe in an audience. But whereas a magician appears to do the impossible – the mentalist does the very unlikely – the extremely unlikely. For this reason mentalism appears more real than traditional magic. People believe there is more than mere trickery going on. They go away seeing your performance as something no one could do by “magic tricks
The pieces offered in this publication are of a professional nature. They are in most cases the invention of the author who has been a professional mentalist and magician for 20 years on both sides of the Atlantic. He was a keen amateur for 20 years before that. He is aware that such routines are usually offered to the “magic” community at very high prices in specialist publications and has been criticized for doing so.
Although the beginner/novice will find these routines easier to perform – they are however good enough to be in the repertoire of any professional magician or mentalist. They may be largely “self working” – but they truly are world class
