I am trying to decide where I should go with my magic which is why I have a lot of product questions. I like the idea of mentalism and I like how it impacts the spectator far deeper than magic but, I like the flashy-ness of magic. I am not sure whether I should learn some mentalism and incorporate it into my magic.
I have 13 Steps to Mentalism and have had it for a LONG time (probably 2 years) and I have gotten absolutely NOTHING out of it. Why? Because I simply cannot follow the text book style read. I just get side tracked and bored with the way it is written. Also, I do not have a swami so I cannot apply anything from Step 1. To me a lot of the effects seem to require extravagant set up or things that you have to hunt for or things that you have to make. Please, tell me if I am wrong!
Anyhow, I wanted opinions on the 13 Steps DVD set with Richard Osterlind? Would it be worth it to get into mentalism?
