Reviewed by Peter Turner
★★★★★ Date Added: Saturday 26 November, 2011This book is a fantastic resource for anyone in the mentalism industry, I have been performing proffessionally for several years and a huge part of the way I perform is down to this book. I always reference this book everytime I think about creating a new effect, after what seems like a million times of reading the book I still find something new and interesting in here! The material is often slated as being out of date, but take it from me when I say the material and principles are only a stones throw away from being rejuvinated and turning into clean mental miracles! If you don't already have this in your collection, you need purchase it, lock yourself away into a room d study it and get out and try it! Peter Turner

★★★★★ Date Added: Friday 10 November, 20066$ .. and you get one of the best mentalism books out there. This book is FILLED with material, which are all clever and practical. It has sections on bullets, cards, large mental stunts, and lots of other categories. I highly recommend getting this book. The best mentalism book I have. By the way, if you have the brainwave deck, this book will teach you killer routines with it. Plus, it will teach you how to make your own deck.
