13 Steps to Mentalism by Corinda (Book) One of the classic books in Mentalism.
Price: $25.00
In stock: usually ships within 24 hours!

Today, known throughout the world, Corinda has been acclaimed as inventor, writer, and teacher of Mentalism -- the art of mind-reading. While on tour in America, his friends persuaded him to write a book and with the support of nearly every professional Mentalist in the world, Corinda set out to compile The Thirteen Steps to Mentalism.

After two years the series was published step by step. Without the advice of friends and invaluable assistance of the Puslisher, Harry Clarke, the task would have been impossible. However, Corinda succeeded in producing what has now become the most classic encyclopedia of mental magic. For this, he has received many honours -- including recognition from The Magic Circle who awarded him membership to the Inner Circle with Gold Star -- a covetous award.

Great classic work! Report this review

If you're interested at all in doing mentalism, this book is a must-read. Although it's 40+ years old, I watched Criss Angel do a routine straight out of this book in his Vegas stage act, which speaks to the durability of Corinda's ideas.

I have been just started up with mentalism. I never thought that a book would be so informative. It teaches all the things that you need. If you are interested in mentalism then get this awesome book!

out dated! Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 21st, 2012
Yes this is the first book to read if you are looking to make the jump from magic to mentalism. However please keep in mind this book was origionally published in the 1940's so I would say much of the book is outdated. I've been performing mentalism for 4 years now and I do not use anything I've learned in this book. Don't expect people to think you're a "gifted telepath" after reading this. However if you decide to buy it, shell out the extra cash and get the 13 steps dvds to go along with it. otherwise you're short changing yourself

A Mentalist Bible Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 23rd, 2011
This book, along with “Practical Mental Magic by Theodore Annemann” are known as the two Bibles of Mentalism. You will need to read these books more than once. You will have to put real study and thought into learning mentalism. I strongly recommend the DVD set of 13 Steps also with the book if you are like me. It helped me see these effects performed, where reading about the effect may not always give you a perfect picture of the presentation. This is a MUST HAVE for anyone wanting to learn Mentalism.

Essential Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 9th, 2010
13 steps is without a doubt one of the most essential books to read if you're serious about mentalism, however I wouldn't recommend this for magicians who are just looking to add a bit of mentalism to their magic routines. The amount of principles and effects you will learn in this book are incredible compared to the price you pay. If you're a mentalist and don't have 13 steps, ADD TO CART!

As with anything you want to do you have to start with a firm foundation. This book will provide you with the foundation needed to build on and increase your mentalism skills. It's way way underpriced and would be a steal at $100. Get it!

The bible Report this review

If you're at all interested in mentalism, you really need this. It provides the foundation for 90% of what you're doing. It's not as if you'll be getting a series of hot routines out of this... it's more about the thinking and psychology that goes into the effects you're performing.

Yes, much of this might seem dated now, because so many mentalists have taken the ideas and principles in this book and improved them, modernized them, and made them their own... but it should still be part of your education to see where it all started.

I would also recommend Osterlind's excellent DVD series based on this book. It does a great job of bringing the material to life; however, don't make the mistake of thinking the DVDs are an adequate substitute. It'd be impossible to distill this entire book into a set of DVDs. You really do still need the book.
