I was. My apologies. Should have read it all before hand. Sorry

I was trying to be simple, just for the fact that we are talking to someone who might be getting into mentalism, but is mainly a magician (I am saying this based on the fact they use 3 card monte and ambitious card)

Fraser Parker's Name Guesses are not psychological anyway. They are mechanical. If you want psychological methods, gef Peter Turner's Freeform Mentalism. He has, on FM: A couple of really good psy forces, nad even teaches you how to make your own. An effect called 'Lie to Me' which teaches...

Cold Reading is typically used in a mind reading routine to strengthen it.

Things I perform often(I am strictly mentalism) are: Star Sign Anagram (Peter Turner) ROSE (Fraser Parker) Phone Code Divination (Peter Turner) Springboard (Michael Murray) True Mysteries (Fraser Parker) The Prodigal (Atlas Brookings) Cal-Ender (Michael Murray) Life Equation (Peter...

By psychological effects, do you mean psychological in the method, or the presentation (meaning the pretending to read body language, cues, etc..)?

@RealityOne, I apologize for the mis-understanding.

Hello RealityOne, angushall19 was asking how to create magic, in which he was refering to the method. Why the audience should care lies within the presentation, not the method.

I love creating! I do not really have a process, I just do it. At one point, I followed this framework: 1. Imagine the effect you want to achieve playing out in your mind. 2. Thinks of the necessary moves you need to do in order to achieve this effect, even if it makes the effect...

Haha. Did not see this thread. Thanks!

I started magic when I was 6 and am now 14 (I have "converted" to mentalism since). I remember when I was 6, probably near the end of my first year of school, I came home one day. My family of course ate dinner, then afterwards, flipped on the television. As they were changing channels they came...

Sure do remember that one!

I would be interested in knowing how other magicians became interested in magic? Was it an old coin trick your grandfather showed you? Did you see a magic show as a kid, and it just stuck with you?

Check out Peter Turners work on the subject. He discusses this in The Devil in Disguise, Freeform Mentalism, and his second penguin lecture.

In my opinion, the three best sources of card magic are: 1.Scarne on Card Tricks 2. The Expert at the Card Table 3. The Royal Road to Card Magic Just my 2 cents:)

If you are just starting mentalism, I would not recommend you directly take effects from books such as 13 steps and perform them exactly as is. Intead, take principles from the book(s) and "throw" them together to create something outstanding. If you are a complete beginner, stick with Osterlind...

Excuse me, some day it is Doug Segals routine.

Ok guys, I would like you to stay clear of a guy named Mikey Jay. He runs FreeMentalism.com. He is a rip off of pretty much all the greats in the study. Just a small list Direct Mind Reading- Rip off of Peter Turner's brilliant piece "Mind Plant", from his fantastic book Devious Realities(Peter...
