A necessity for the performer Report this review

First, the negatives. There are several references to downloads and resources that are no longer available.
The positives: As a performer in mentalism you NEED these books - both volumes! I do not agree with all Chuck's thoughts about performing or mentalism but I do agree on the majority. And the ones I do not agree with I will still consider and think about. And Chuck even says you may not agree with him 100% of the time. Performers are different and what works for one may not work for another but Chuck's thoughts are something we all should consider.
The books do not have a ton of pages and the print is an easy size to read, but do not read this like a novel. Each chapter, each idea will require you to think how it may apply, or how you may need to apply, it to your show.
Well worth it. You need BOTH volumes.

If you know routines with, persuasion, telepathy, intuition, memory, and more Chuck Hickok does too.
So what makes this book special and how will you benefit ?
He tells you what order to put thoose routines in to provide the audience with a believable and building crecendo that will have the audiences getting more and more interested in the act as each minute passes.
The book gets straight to the point on everything he has learned.
The scripts he provides for use are bascally timeless and just some fine tuning to match your words.
But his sold belief that each routine should really only demonstrate one phenomenon puts your show on a good path.
His show template in the book is rather a series of routines he used wuth scripts. But he achieves this dream act of YES, each trick builds and gets more impossible and therefore you take the audience along.
There is an amazing bonus routine where you can teach the audience to say the alphabet backwards and therefore leave them with something in their heads they learned. More of a smile thing.
I read this book three times in one week, and have a new respect for really thinking about how important it is to start simple when doing a full show.
And how fragile that relationship is to an audience if you tell them something that is true nonsense, you may not be able to recover.
