I've got no idea, but I'm pretty sure Corinda mentions it when he tells the reader about "swami greats" to keep the reader "humble and motivated."

You know, I never understood these "password protected" magic sites. None of the questions are particularly difficult to magicians, but I always think of how a simple google search will reveal all the answers to laypeople...

The UK version is pretty good, but you have to realize that many of the scams are re-enactments. Many times, the "marks" know what is about to happen.

Patrick Redford has written a book on over-the-phone magic. Search him up.

I think we should let nonmemtalists make all the choices, due to our understanding of what is about to happen... I think you handled that first phase perfectly!

Do you put Mentalism into your Magic, or Magic into your Mentalism? The first is "alright" (though gives a bad name to us mentalists), and the second is a "no-no."

Dan Harlan did something like this on the Magiccafe a while ago, and I'm curios to see how your script goes. I choose the last six months.

Not all mentalists can do Q&A either, something many people miss. Depends on your character- if you are a "psychological iillusionist," it makes absolutely no sense for you to be able to answer questions like "Is my puppy still alive, and does he miss me." I personally, have never done a...

I think we're confusing the term "magic" with the term "sleight of hand." Sure, a mentalist can do "sleight of hand" but not "magic."

So I say YES. A mentalist can do magic routines, but not in the same context that he/she does mentalism. For example. When I do mentalism for a certain audience, they do not see me perform any magic whatsoever. This is because, mentalism on some level has an "explanation" that is not...

Yes. If he works hard... I prefer coinone

Still hitting myself over how he was able to so cleanly get those last two coins there... in a perfectly straight line. I have got to get myself one of those mirrors...

I think he means that the ditch spot won't be there for you. I'm left handed and have Silver Dream. You can just palm the last coin and get rid of the "breaking it in half and vanishing each half" thing. Or learn the himber vanish right handed. I presume you don't use it anywhere...

It's difficult but possible. You can't just straight off get into it like a magician can, but if you start off with "I was just walking and couldn't help but notice your blahblahcoldread." Spectator: Really? Mentalist: Yeah. Genuinely. I was thinking that you were the type of person who...

I would say "no..." but people have invented obscure peeks that don't hit the mainstream. Actually... the answer is "yes." A peek like this appears in Richard Busch's "Peek Performances."

I heard it was 89.68%, but my statistics are rarely reliable...

Thanks, pal. Greatly appreciate it. And as to where I got my statistics- I made them up? Isn't that how all statistics are made?

Good responses, but how can we justify the existence, of, persay, a "card-flourishing forum," which in itself is not a form of magic, and in the larger community, is rarely done?

I think you can find it in a set of old lecture notes of his. Probably "Blueprints," but I don't recall as I've taken a sabbatical from coin-magic and shifted over to mentalism.

As the title probably suggests to you, I am merely wondering why no mentalists forum is under way. We have a card forum, a coin forum, but the third most popular type of magic is sadly neglected. I am sure many mentalists would benefit from such a forum, and there could be a place to turn to...
