Bob is well-known around the world for his original effects marketed by Ken Brooke and for his clever writings in his book Fingertip Fantasies.

Bob gives a number of effects ranging from close-up to cabaret and a number of children's effects. Here's what Goodliffe had to say: "His book which I published enjoyed an excellent sale, though, so he must have more admirers than I realise. They will love this really exciting tape. He deals with club and cabaret, close-up magic and children'smagic. There must be a dozen tricks plus advice, ideas and useful tips, making this one of the most informative,...

On February 26th 2009 a historic event took place. Bob Cassidy gave a one-of-a-kind two hour teleseminar which was hosted by his longtime student and friend Michael Weber.

Two hours of pure Cassidy where he answered questions and spoke on a number of crucially important points on mentalism. Some of the topics discussed were:

• Persona: Selecting effects consistent with your persona; choosing a persona; credibility; the Dr. Crow persona.
• Rehearsing: How to practice mentalism.
• What is bad mentalism?
• Scripts versus Improvisation
• Mentalism versus Mental Magic
• Publicity stunts
• Logical disconnect:...

You'll learn:

• a 12-step outline for conducting a successful seance
