"Just watched Q&A Evolution again. Man, is it packed with subtleties and insights from someone who has been doing Q&A for 20 years. Also made up a set of the Evolution cards and have been practicing the moves. It doesn't take long at all to get the moves down smoothly. Everything takes place in your hands, right in front of the audience. And in the case of a one-on-one reading, literally right under their noses. The combination of the Q&A Evolution System cards and the readings framework Scott teaches allows you to do unique, one-on-one readings for one person, or many. The more I work with...

In the early 1990's Roy Johnson introduced me to the Shaxon Flap envelope invented by Alan Shaxon and my love affair with the use of envelopes in mentalism began.

Since then I have produced two books, Envelopology parts 1 & 2, along with a couple of videos The Single White Dwarf and The Empty Multiple Out Envelope where the envelopes are the stars, all of which are available here from Lybrary.com.

The Envelopologist is an envelope switch technique I now use in place of the Shaxon Flap envelope and uses small manila wage envelopes rather than standard side opening letter envelopes. It is a very...

With a nod to Bob Cassidy's original White Dwarf and his later White Dwarf Revisited Scott's Single White Dwarf peek envelope, does away with the second envelope, closes the window and instead uses a standard, security lined, single, white letter envelope which can be freely handled by the spectator and is suitable for stage, cabaret and close up.

Good question and one which has been raging among Mentalists since Annemann was still going strong. In this book Scott has addressed that question and put together some of his favourite Mentalism card routines, covering effects with borrowed decks, stacked decks and gaffed decks.

You'll find no knuckle busting sleight of hand here; instead Scott has included some of his own routines taken straight from his professional mentalism repertoire, many of which no other magicians have seen until now. Some of the ideas are based on old effects given a new twist, but...

"Without proper presentation, the best sleight of hand is nothing more than a feat of juggling." - Nate Leipzig

What is it?
