Hi, I'm looking for some impromtu mentalism or mentalism that really has an organic feel to it.
Can you help me out, maybe name some books or DVD's?
Thanks,
Gianni.

Impromptu Mentalism

Well nearly all mentalism should seem impromptu, except for some of the larger props.
If you want things that require nothing more than some paper and pen, then some things I recommend.
Switchcraft- Billet Switches and it's constantly updated.
Technique- Matthew Mello
Perfected Centre Tear- Richard Osterlind
Now some things that I would recommend that aren't necessarily impromptu but have that feel are,
Super Sharpie- Actually has the gimmick secured inside, so carrying two things in one.
Boris Wild's Marked Deck- I don't use to many cards but one effect I do use requries this.
Richard Osterlinds Stacked Deck- I can't remember the name right now, but his stacked deck is truly one of the best.

Osterlind's is the Breakthrough card system. (Y)
Get a good peek wallet and you're done, be creative
Outside of that, Nardi and Spelmann have a DVD dedicated to impromptu mentalism that is most likely right up your street - I think it's called the unexpected, or something similar. www.alakazam.co.uk

Aye, that is my only magic thing related for christmas I plan on getting.
All impromptu and it's from two of my favorite mentalists, so can't go wrong really.

Nice stuff in there that some stuff don't need props at all.
Other than that Paul Brook has some nice stuff, actually most good mentalism is gimmick free if you want and totally go anywhere and do effects are also out there at hands reach. Some nice stuff already said by Sherlock and Dee.
Needless to say, Dee (Christopher) has some insane impromptu stuff of his own, props mate!

Organic Feel? Direct Mind reading is very impressive and seems natural. ESP is quite good, but not as impromptu, and Radar Deck for me is always an absolute winner.
I agree with what has already been said.
I feel that mentalism should feel impromptu. What are you exactly after? As in what do you want to preform, metal bending, book tests etc.

Get Joshua Jay's book. Magic: The Complete Course.
Lay out however many objects you wish, they freely eliminate which ones they want to, and then CHA-POW you knew it all along.
Hope this helps,

PATEO force is a great tool into learning how to properly sell equivoque.
Looch's DVD Your Thoughts are Mine is very good and has a few different ideas on fairly simple principles and presentations.
