Okay, okay, I know this site is mostly for cards and coins. I'm really only a card-and-coin guy myself, but I've always been very curious about mentalism. I haven't performed magic professionally in a while, not since last summer, and I've been quite busy since then - practicing loyally yoga and meditation. I do a lot of stuff like guided meditation, tarot card reading, and palm reading (though I don't believe in the latter two for a second) and I would love to add a little mentalism as well.
I only want a small handful of really hardhitting routines, since as of right now I have no interest in picking magic back up as a profession. I'm quite interested particularly in a few books I found, 'The Prodigal', 'Faith Healer', and 'Goat's Grimoire'. However, The Prodigal and Faith Healer both seem to be extremely vague as to the effect(s) taught, and I'd hate to shell out for a book when I'm not even sure what I'll be learning! Goat's Grimoire seems like a great one-stop-shopping book for mentalism, but I'm hesitant to shell out $125 with there being so few reviews of it on the web. Faith Healer definitely sounds really interesting and I love Luke Jermay's work, but it is very vague and I would love some more info before purchasing - hopefully someone here can enlighten me as to these routines (or where I could find better routines!)
