Diesel Vance performs mind reading for small rooms: private dinners, late bars, the back rooms of parties that have gone on longer than planned. He doesn't do television; he doesn't do stages if he can help it, and he has never once pulled a rabbit out of anything.

He learned the craft from old books, borrowed and second-hand, and still prefers a pencil to an app. His first collection, Old Ghosts, New Tricks, rebuilt four public-domain principles of billet work, book tests and question-and-answer as modern parlour mind reading.

He keeps his own history to himself. As he puts it: "If I told you where I came from, you'd stop wondering. And the wondering is the job."

Read more about Old Ghosts, New Tricks by Diesel Vance

A collection of four close-up and parlour mentalism routines. Each one takes a genuinely old principle (the centre tear, one ahead, a classic number force and the calendar square) and gives it a new premise, a complete script, handling notes, outs and variations.

The material targets three strong categories: billets, book tests and Q&A, and everything uses everyday or borrowed props.

Read more about Square One: The Magic Square as Mind Reading by Diesel Vance

An ancient puzzle, rebuilt to feel like intuition.

The first part of this ebook includes an illustrated course in building 4x4 magic squares to any total, in both a quick style and a balanced, pattern-free style, with practice drills. The second is three fully scripted routines that present the square as intuition rather than arithmetic: an eyes-closed dictation to a spectator's birth year, a business-card square with a pocket-writer kicker, and a remote version for text and video calls.
