    Richard Osterlind

    In this case, it isn't really a matter of opinion. Richard Osterlind does both and that's all there is to it. If someone were to say "No! He does pure mentalism!" I can provide several "mental magic" effects in his repertoire and vice versa.

    Osterlind does some of both. Why are you asking this question though? What does it matter?

    Tips on where to learn mentalism?

    I am a professional mentalist and people often contact me for advice on getting started in mentalism. Here's a great way to start... You know there's a book called Corinda's 13 Steps To Mentalism. Buy a copy. And then don't buy anything else. In fact, take all the money that you were...

    1-on-1's for Loops

    Toyrobot, I was in no way implying that you do that and I apologize if it came across that way. It was simply a general statement directed to everyone whom it may apply to. I agree with you about it being a balance. However, I feel that, that balance is..... not very balanced. I simply...

    1-on-1's for Loops

    I was simply making a statement that waayyy too many of the magicians (and card jugglers) here are simply clones of other performers. It is going to benefit you a lot more to sit down and try to create you own effect.

    1-on-1's for Loops

    Cookie Cutter by Dan Sperry Review

    Well, as a professional performer, I very rarely perform for the same audience twice. Even if you did, unless you have some very serious enemies, no one is going to contrive to mess it up. If you were at all worried about safety, you don't have to use a razor blade. Any small object will...

    Cookie Cutter by Dan Sperry Review

    I'd like to take a moment and expand on Cookie Cutter vs what you saw Derren perform. Derren's performance is a presentation of prediction/influence. Cookie Cutter and most other Russian Roulette routines are demonstrations of clairvoyance, divination, perhaps even muscle reading. Two...
