Summary: Essential book on Mentalism
Review: Although dated, this collection of mental effects was and remains one of the best ever written for this subject. (only surpassed by Corrinda's 13 Steps to Mentalism)
Not to be taken lightly, there were performers whose entire acts are condensed on but a few pages contained within.
Not for the young or for the beginner, this book is a requirement for any serious magician's bookshelf or one interested in psychic phenomena. I bought this book hardbound for many times this price and felt it was one of the best purchases I made in the field

Summary: One of the classics, deservedly so.
Review: If you want to do mentalism you need this and 13 STEPS TO MENTALISM by Corinda. These two texts
can take you far.

Summary: Amaze your friends, fool your family and stump the dog!
Review: The book is literally packed with excellent routines and techniques, most of which require little or no sleight of hand skills. Though somewhat dated (you may have a litlle trouble finding some of the materials used) it is chock-full of "how'd he do that" stuff. The variety of material contained is wonderful also. From billets to cards to envelopes to codes to blind-folds to money routines. Just get it! You won't be sorry. I hear that Mark Striving has modernized some of it with a book "Annemann Updated" or something to that effect. I would be interested in that but can't find it

Summary: Good Book to Realise How Mentalism Tricks are Performed
Review: This very popular book shows you how some mentalism tricks are performed through the use of additional hidden objects. Covers mind-reading, spiritual effects, etc... and making them LOOK REAL !! But a couple tricks are sort of outdated because the audience is becoming more demanding and intelligent and may be able to guess what exactly going on. For example, writing words in a special way and by "erasing" part of these words/numbers reveal a specific message. Overall it is a worthy book considering that it is not expensive, easy-to-understand and the sort of book that the conjurer would not want you to know about.
