Every mentalist has their favourite book test, which is yours and why?

What is your creative process for a mentalism effect?

- Do you work backwards i.e. how you wan't the final 'bang' to be and work backwards for the method, or do you apply existing methods and try and come up with a result?

Hi Spidey,

Aside from magic, I heard that you also an expert on NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and hypnosis which made you famous on the internet for hypnotizing a police offer to let you off of a ticket back in Montreal. My question to you is, what are your thoughts on another branch of "suggestive work" such as "energy healing" or "chi"?

Hey !

1) how do you know when the effect you created is 'complete' (as in ready for release etc ...) ?
2) you create effects , do you find the ideas or does the ideas find you ?
3) how do you deal with hecklers ?

In your previous releases you mentioned that your passion is combining Psychology and Attraction with your own brand of Magic to create something entirely revolutionary to contribute to our community. In this modern world, does advancements in technology and psychological studies affect the way we magicians apply the principles you establish for the art?Why?..thanks Spidey

1. How important is Magician fooler type tricks to you? or do you mainly focus on social dynamic type effects?
2. I like to know your thoughts on the PUA world, and would you consider yourself a PUA (pickup Artist)? This is strictly going on your DVD focusing on social interactions, you have some familiarity into the type of content PUA's talk about.
3. Presentation is a big part of mentalism, Do you come up with the presentation first? or method? I only ask cause sometimes a presentation can come off as corny, magic or mentalism. mainly mentalism.

I must first say that I really miss Roundtable discussions. Alright, for my questions...

Spidey...
Do you think magicians are born as opposed to them being "made" or developed?
What, do you think, essentially turns a person into a magician or a mentalist?

Would you say that Psycho was one of your best effects, and can we expect something as amazing, or even more in 2013?
