Here's a tip I rarely see given... watch as many good mentalists perform as you can. It doesn't even have to be live, even on TV. Youtube is your friend, just watch them perform, perform, and perform. It helps.

Not neccecarily, my friends. Not neccecarily... Rick Merrill won FISM by giving the impression that he has no skill whatsoever... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eETQX4NsQ7E Not the most elegant thing in the world, and rather unnatural. But its superb, and more magical than most...

Ermm... I don't think the link works... As far as subtleties the two biggest ones would be the Kaps subtlety and the Ramsay subtlety. I don't really no if that's what you're looking for...

Eh... I've been looking for this for a while, but never found out what it was called or where I can get it. Basically, it's a folding chair that can "tip" remotely, but I have no more information than that. There's a video of it here.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bnEhBMSocs It also...
