    Thought of Card Signed, Numbered & Delivered - Greg Berman

    http://www.imentalism.com/e-books/cards/tocsnd I was given a draft copy of this effect by Greg on the promise of a review, whilst it was given for free I am not going to factor that into the review of this effect. Firstly it is a fairly short booklet (although nothing is left out) that...

    Derren Brown suggestibility

    As others have said Derren's work is mostly presentation rather than the actual methods. As for the real method of psychologically forcing something look into Banachek's PS1. If you were after something based on suggestion Kenton Kneppers miracles of suggestion is a good start. For a good...

    Annemann's Card Magic

    Everyone should know my opinion on Annemann. My favourite book I own is Life and Times of a Legend it is a complation ofhis lifes work. With that book and everything else in the Jinx you can read one effect and it will inspire you to look into it like that.

    Where'd you learn that?

    I use to say books, mainly because most people hate the idea of reading. If it is a good friend or a house mate I rattle off three or four sources and say it's my combination of them. When they see the size of the books I am referencing they usually stop right there. Now days though I spend...

    The Positivity Thread - Say Something About Someone

    ChrisW only seems to post something when he has something insightful to say and I respect him for that. As far as his magic goes if he shows the same level of respect for it that he does for the community I am sure he is doing great.

    The Positivity Thread - Say Something About Someone

    Zac deleted his account and resigned up a few days ago. Jden is quite a clever young magician who is fairly generous and very creative. He needs to put that to better use like predicting roulette. Oh he has done that.

    Zac's "Road Map for Magic"

    The point I was trying to make is that there is a completely different dynamic between close up and stage. I am constantly bantering with my audience for example in my Q&A I only give about 6 to 8 readings / answers. And during each of them I am talking to people asking questions just fishing...

    Hypnosis

    I do a fair bit if hypnosis and a large amount of mentalism. I personally think that they go very well together as the audiences believe that hypnosis is on some level real. However they don't really understand it but the can accept it. In my opinion that is what mentalism is aswell, atleast it...

    Zac's "Road Map for Magic"

    It is an interesting idea, I'll give it that much. However, I thought it could be described in a little more detail as to what is happening. This just confussed me the purpose of a metaphor is to make the point you are trying to make clearer for your readers. The problem here is that most...

    Fantastic Mentalism Advice

    Interesting idea and I completley agree. I study mentalism a lot but I also think outside the box. Most of my effects in terms of presentation and to a lesser extent method come from life. I see synchonicity in life and try to replecate it in my effects. If you take the two biggest mentalist...

    The Positivity Thread - Say Something About Someone

    This community as a whole is a fairly friendly place with very few arguments however there are still a few. One of the most important things that people don't really remember on sites like this is that we are all on the same side. If we do argue it should be to create a better experence for our...
