MENTAL MYSTERIESThe Theory and Practice of Mentalism
Hardcover, Copyright 1993, 121 Pages
This candid book CLEARLY explains the techniques of Simulating Psychic Phenomena. It details the presentation skills so essential to making mental magic entertaining and is an indispensable handbook for the aspiring Mentalist. To be sure, magicians amaze and amuse people, but mentalists and psychics confound their audiences--and there is a difference.This book clearly explains the secret methods by which magicians and psychic entertainers simulate ESP and other psychic phenomena. Although written primarily as a handbook for magicians it is also an indispensible guide for anyone seeking to understand the closely guarded techniques of the pseudo-psychics. It goes beyond an explanation of how the effects are accomplished to cover other topics of interest to aspiring mentalists, such as: the ethics of deception, the combining of magic and mentalism, presentation suggestions, and even the setting of a fee.
There are two tricks from this book that really fits into a stage show. One is Lie Detector (Chapter 13) and the other is Giant Memory Routine (Chapter 11).
NOTE: Top right corners have a small bump, book however is brand new and when received was sealed in cellophane.
