If you are looking at the M5 the PK ring is a nice alternative. With PK the expression less is more is the very very true.

Feel free to hit me up whenever you want I love talking with serious mentalists. And don't sell yourself short your opinion is important and I am very grateful for your kind words.

Good post Mikk. Sorry I did not check in earlier I had to do the Christmas stuff all day today. Draven that advice is something that I have lived by through out both magic and mentalism and also when I use to play basketball quite competitively. Chris Kenner mentioned in the SWE shift...

Great post mate, I am like you more and more because you praised me in an earlier post. The only thing I would like to mention is about reading Alchemical Tools 'once' that is not something I could do. Ever since I got that amazing tome I have ready it many times cover to cover and looked back...

There is also a few in Annemann.

You need to understand that females are more emotional. By exploiting this idea the more 'psychic' themed mentalism pieces play very powerful. Cold reading techniques more specifically Q&A routines and psychometery. Very few people can pull off a effective psychometery routine. I spent...

If you are getting started in mentalism stay clear of PS until you actually find your footing in mentalism.

Whilst I agree that magic should be up their with film and other mediums of entertainment I feel it can be so much more. Whilst a lot of people try to replicate Derren and using psychology, very few pull it off well. I feel that you can connect much more intimately with people than any film so...

A few points that stood out to me are: visualartist's talk about the supernatural. Yes supernatural themes are very popular still to this day however everything example you stated was in some form of entertainment. If someone watches a movie or reads a book they know it is not real but they...

What do you mean by hardest as in the sleights involved or to present correctly. I can understand that we should all challenge ourselves but being able to do the hardest sleights does not impress laymen. Something like a simple DL is amazing as hell with the right presentation. For the...

I would like to start that say a lot of people will not understand what I am trying to say. I am fully aware of that and the people who read and understand this I hope will take something away from this post. I hate to say it but everyone in some way is selfish, as humans we are concerned...

Well I have two different beliefs on this topic. The first is on of the mentalist the other (minor) one is magician. I know most of you will not understand this however let me simply state that as performing as a mentalist you really need to adopt a different mindset to present it. However...

You sure about the key card principle. I have fried many magicians using pieces that have key cards. I would use something like my memory routine or the last phase of my out of this world routine.

There is something to be said about thse people who discredit something because of the method. It is not the method that makes the effect it is you. On a tangential matter I dislike when on the add copy says something like no force completely free choice. Whilst this is a good selling point...

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.

Just a few points that I would like to add. The first is trying to build rapport with your spectators if they come up with a 'method' no matter how stupid or impractical it is. They should be praised for lateral thinking a simple "that would be one way to do it", should suffice. The second is...

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.

For the first part, if you want to learn how to make the spectators 'feel' the magic there are many source to learn that. The first is conviction never once have I heard Derren or Jermay 'Did you that?' or anything of that nature. I have though heard many times 'You can feel that' whilst on...

Gee that sucks man. The place I am doing my show almost canceled on me because of new ownership.

Yes its like listening to your favourite albums or watching your favourite television shows. PS2 just gives me a better overall feeling than PS3 does. I enjoy reading it for its own sake however when I read PS3 I seem not to get as involved into it.
