-_-" I believe the book title which escapes you is Swami Mantra, a collection of Sam Dalal's magazines Swami and Mantra, and which happens to be out of print, and for good reason. Based on what I'm heard from my Bizarrist friend, it's not a beginner's book. To the OP magicianofseer, send a PM...

I heard that originality works wonders. If you perform things exactly as they're taught, then you're really just asking for it.

The change itself is nice, but I have one question: Main Entry: 1vi·su·al Pronunciation: \ˈvi-zhə-wəl, -zhəl; ˈvizh-wəl\ Function: adjective Etymology: Middle English, from Late Latin visualis, from Latin visus sight, from vidēre to see Date: 15th century 1 : of, relating to, or used in...

Haha @ Phenomena. Busted indeed. jrob, I like yours :)

I agree that Andy Nyman is amongst the most underrated and oft forgotten mentalists today. People conveniently leave out the fact that Nyman is responsible for a large portion of Derren's work.

I kind of see what Luka is getting at, whilst badly phrased. It's not so much Mentalism I feel but performance theory which naturally lends itself towards Mentalism. Certainly, being able to read what's in a sealed envelope won't help you much. But things like framing psychological forces -...

Hey mate, thanks for your input! Have a look at some of the other reviews though to check out the sorts of things we expect from them, though. Whilst you definitely don't have to follow any set format, and I certainly wouldn't do that - I think rating cards for feel and looks is ridiculous - you...

Quote me where I said he doesn't do that.

I was simply remarking on what I believe is the folly of ruling anything out in the manner in which it was. It reminds me of those people posting their guesses about how Copperfield's Statue of Liberty vanish was done beneath the YouTube videos.

And you know, because you can detail the exact method and theoretically perform it?

If you mean How to Develop a Super Power Memory, you are an absolute tool, how can you misquote Harry Lorayne's name?! Unless you have one of those downloaded copies where the words are all misspelled -_-"

In other words, DO YOUR RESEARCH! I don't understand. Why are some people so averse to actually doing some work? Do you really need someone to pick out what's best for you? Why don't you ask us to do your laundry while we're at it? That post translated to, "Penguin has some good stuff, but...

I would love to know how many people who recommend Fundamentals actually have it and have read it, rather than because it's the popular thing to recommend here.

Haha, I'm pretty sure that was sarcasm Mikk :)

Wynn's will not be restocked. D&D S&M will be restocked soon, hopefully by the end of the month, and if not, soon after.

Bill to lemon? "Your best bet is fruit!" Corny, I know, but it's an idea.

I honestly cannot believe any magician is his right mind would call a TT stupid. -_-"

demon, thanks for that response! You actually made a really nice point. That moment was extraordinarily special because it happened spontaneously between the two of us, someone I care for, without any method at all. Giving it a method takes away the unique occurrence, and you're absolutely...

I'll save him some search work. I'm going to keep posting this in every single thread of this type I find. Though I haven't posted this for a while. I posted this before, and it's always the same. Here's an idea. Look for them yourself, find the ones that work for yourself, and make them...

All I'm gonna say in response to the OP is: Not necessarily. Often, yes, but not necessarily. It's quite easy for me to simply perform a false shuffle, for example; but I find it much more interesting personally to make them believe that they shuffled when they didn't. More work, less surety...
