Creative thought for magicians.
While this ebook does have a trick section at the end, the majority of the content is dedicated to mental processes, habits, and exercises that will help you become a better and more creative magician. This is a part of being a magician that is rarely talked about, but it is more important than the latest and newest trick offering.
Excerpt from the Foreword:
In this work I tell you what Magical Mentality is, and how you can develop it for yourself. Or if you already have it to a degree, how you can cause it to serve you more efficiently.
The system and suggestions I offer are not idle. They are the result of my studies in the World of Psychology. I have studied pure Psychology for many years. I have also investigated many of the expensive "mental courses" with which the market is flooded. And I have arrived at my own conclusions as a result of this study combined with the keen observation of practical Thinkers and the self-analysis of my own creative powers.
