Are you looking for "Hypnosis" or more "Hypnosis Magic" Stage? Parlour? something more "Impromptu"? this is going to differ, and you are going to get different views from different people, some will say you can learn from a book/DVD, and others will say you need to be formally trained...

I should have said Methods and thoughts, although I do view some theory as outdated insofar as to me theory is just someone saying what works for them, not a "rule" or the only way too look at something, and everyone has different approaches, different "takes" theory can be a tool, but not a...

Bob Cassidy - http://marketplaceofthemind.com/products/artfment2/ what kind of Mentalism do you want to do? a lot of the classic "theory" is out of date, a lot of the classic methods have been updated, or given variations, modifications, and personal handlings are you looking into more...

Agree with @ChaseC6, there are "invisible props" that wouldn't be considered props to an audience also, how much process do you want? you can do a routine say with only words/math etc, that is going to require a lot of process, or you can do something say... someone writes a "thought" down...

I learned from a side-show performer, it is where I learned all the sideshow "freak/geek/"shock" " techniques... I hesitate to say "effects" because they are real the best place to learn is from someone, you can learn from a book... but I would always advise in person for these type of things

who are some of the performers you like? are you looking for techniques, methods, theory, "routines"? more classic or modern approach to magic?

Morgan Strebler had D.O.A but again nothing "original" also I am sure it can be traced further back than that

agreed, especially since they are just basically showing other peoples methods
