This is the first book I bought on mentalism and I was not disappointed. It helped get my feet wet
and expand my knowledge. Easy to read and understand. Add it to your cart and let your education
begin!

Stop reading these reviews and get this book now!!! If you're into mentalism, and trying to get into
it (like myself), get this book. It's only , a fraction of anything you will spend and amount of
information you get is mind blowing. Some people don't like learning from a book, I say, get over
it. This is excellent.

Yet another great source of mentalism. If you want to be remembered as a good magician, stick to
your own material. But if you want to be remembered as a GREAT magician, read this book. If you do
exactly what it tells you, your reputation will soar like eagles. Its also very practical. Many
effects are impromptu. Most others use gimmicks easy to obtain or make. Very few use difficult
gimmicks. Plus its ONLY TEN DOLLARS.

This is my new favorite book! I've been carrying it around with me every where I go. I even use
the book as a prop for The Yogi Book Test, found on page 54. That one trick alone is well worth the
price of the whole book! If you don't have this one, get it, you won't be sorry!

I love tricks that mix mentalism and cards, and this book has exactly what I was looking for:)
Although only a section devoted to my favorite tricks, the rest of the book kick @$$ !!! The money
tricks are really cool, and it gives a ton of other tricks and ideas that would make this book
essentially worth well over 200 Dollars. But Penguin sells it for $ 10 so save yourself a ton of
money and PICK IT UP!!!!

Practical Mental Magic is one of my favorite Mentalist books. Theodore Annemann was genius and is
considered the father of Mentalism. This classic of Mentalism will teach you how to use Billets,
Thumb Tips, Writing Swamis, Card Indexes, Center Tears and other ingenious Mentalist techniques.
Start with this book and once you learn the basics of Mentalism then purchase some other
more advanced Mentalism books like Pure Effect and Absolute Magic by Derren Brown. Penguin Magic
sells both of these books. Mentalism is considered Adult magic so learn Mentalism now.

Anyone who thinks Annemann's ideas are outdated can't think for themselves and need to be spoonfed
everything. The principles behind the effects in this book are as powerful today as they were when
they were set down!
Today's mentalists are still astounding audiences with these
principles. Think about the underlying principle and make it your own!
Armed with this
and Corinda's 13 Steps To Mentalism, you are set to perform powerful mental stunts...whatever your
age!

I love this book. I have it on my iPad and the physical copy. I learn so much, break it down and
see what I can create with it. It's so good.
Disclosure and confession: I did not buy this from P3...I found it on another site as a download.
Either way, nuts or bolts, this is my take on this book.
For starters, this book has some
killer knowledge in it that every mentalist should know and learn. This book contains a lot of
ideas, and some applications you can apply as well. Most of all, a lot of them can be done
impromptu! The only things lacking in a book like this is presentation.
I understand the
hardship it can be for those with learning disabilities - you are not alone. However, with patience,
and a help of a friend, I can promise you that this book will be worth it. It is a hard read for me,
simply because of my learning disability, and I learn easier and quicker from videos because there
isn't any reading to do.
This book will get those cogs working and turning giving you ideas and
applications for the different principles inside this book.
Not only that, but it also has some
history and theory hidden within the pages if you so choose to look and listen to what is written.
The only other reading material you would need is corindas work and you would be set for life.
