A somewhat English mentalist and reader. From a family of rum smugglers from the Isle of Wight and east-end of London tarot readers. I encourage originality and honesty in all things I create and use. From a background of music, art, and psychology. All my reading systems have been examined by trained psychologists as well as people inside the mystery arts.
A book for mentalists.
I consider mentalism at its most powerful when it is combined with the ability to give readings. It adds depth, it personalises what can be quite dry information. Readings are also somewhat dangerous and can be difficult to do and still remain ethical and not encourage a negative and potentially damaging belief and reliance on them. I will show you how to avoid that. This book also contains a few little inventions relating to envelopes and billets. No routines as such, but you will learn how I structure readings when combined with design duplications, with a careful...
Tell people about themselves using their names. Or use it to add depth and structure to drawings people make and more.

Number reading, numerology, and cartomancy.
For psychic entertainers and readers – a hybrid mix of thought-dial, numerology, and various other concepts that let you answer any question posed.

It can also be combined with many other reading systems. Also includes a short discussion on cartomancy.
Pendulums, colours, readings, switches, peeking.
Profeign – a book on mentalism. A peek, a switch, pendulum work. A few presentations that use a certain, singular move. A take on fourth-dimensional telepathy. An updated version and handling of a now-retired book test. This is now the hateful notepad. A few impromptu-looking devices and techniques to switch billets. As well as an interesting use for the imp devices made by John Riggs. So, if billets, pendulums, books, envelopes and other such delights are your thing.
Profeign will offer you something a little different. There is also...
A compendium of Iain Dunford's reading systems.
"Thank you Iain, for dragging readings into the 21st century." - Richard Webster
Tessarula - using old school ADMIT ONE style tickets that are very cheap. Or if that's not your thing, just scraps of paper or blank cards. Tessarula can also replace the tarot.
