I have found myself straying further and further away from normal magic. I simply just don't enjoy doing them any more. It just doesn't feel right doing them. I don't think it fits my entire performance.
I have previously wondered if I wanted to be a mentalist, but I decided that I didn't want to restrict myself too much. But as I mentioned, lately, I have found normal magic to just feel wrong, and I almost exclusively perform mental magic.
So I have decided to become a mentalist. But I have realized that while I know what the difference between a mentalist and a magician is (so please, you don't have to explain it to me), I don't know where to start.
I have 13 Steps to Mentalism by Corinda, Psychological Subtleties, Anneman's Practical Mental magic and some other books which I think really are just effects instead of theory. I am also starting to read Luke Jermay's Bulding Blocks, which, so far, is great.
I already have books on Mentalism effects, but I would like to learn the psychology behind making my performance look real.
