Can anybody tell me what you can do with Banacheks psychophysiological thought reading? What are the effects in the book? any more info.
and how good is mental miracles by Bob Cassidy..
thanks.

psychophysiological thought reading is about muscle reading. feeling someone's reactions and interpreting them. its a real skill, and is difficult to learn. i wouldn't recommend this book to beginners by any means.

Here here. The book does come with another (very old) book re-printed, which comes with a section about how to do mindreading with pets Banachek's book is great - as is the rest of his stuff - but this is definately not one for beginners

what can you find out from people? someone said something about being able to find out what color someone is thinking through muscle reading in another forum and a reviewer said he guessed a number someone was thinking,...what else can you find out and what effects are in the book?
Thanks

It's not a really a book of effects. Have you seen Derren Brown's Mind Control TV specials? He did an effect where he asked a guy in a market to go somewhere in the market and hide a photo of his wife. Derren then held onto the guy's arms and walked around, and went straight to where the photo was hidden. That's what you can do with muscle reading. It has many applications, but it can be hit-or-miss and is difficult to master. I think Ormond McGill wrote some musclereading articles, you might be better tracking those down and reading them before buying Banachek's book

sounds like something I'd like. What type of mindreading is there besides finding things?

Banachek's book isn't really a book of effects, more like a manual on how to understand it. The possibilities of effects with muscle reading (contact mind reading, Hellstromism, whatever you want to call it) is wide and varied. There are numerous number tests, item locations, etc that I know of. Find things. Identfy the owners of objects. Reunited a seperated couple. You'll just have to read the book and use your imagination

alrighty, thanks for the good info.

best banacheck effects are pk time and pk touches! Psychological subtelties is alot of hit and miss theory stuff. But if you want to make a life of this!!! then you are weird anyway so get it you'll love it

I have a manuscript called "Psychological Prediction" that I got from a UK magician (don't know if I can say his name) maybe based on something from Derren Brown. It's entirely a case of reading 'body language'. It's a simple calling of which hand a volunteer is holding a coin in. It's been about 85% effective. and improves with practice -something that mentalists have apparantly been "on to" for some time. I just thought I'd share this under the posted heading-- It's really simple and certainly can be done by novices, with practice. No gimmicks, no nuthin'.

Mental Miracles is alright. I just picked mine up locally a couple weeks ago for $56CAD and I wouldn't say it was worth it. Although there were two tricks in it I'm going to renovate to use myself.

The video quality was poor and the audio sucked even worse. It was like it was filmed in 8mm with a 30 year old tape recorder. I had to crank up my audio system and lower the bass right down because the background noise was throwing things off my shelves.

He doesn't go into any sort of psychology. Just the standard write this down, put into this envelope, I'll destroy envelope, I'll tell you what you were thinking tricks. So I was somewhat disappointed. But, like I said there were two cool tricks in there that weren't using the write this down routine. So it wasn't a complete disappointment.
