need help! I want to get more into mentalism, but I’m finding it hard to get any info,
I’m looking to find out the best material and information to master this art form, weather it be free or paid!?
Thanks!
 
Word to the wise about life in general: you get what you pay for so if you want premium material you will have to pay a premium price.

With that being said, I recommend starting with Practical Mental Magic by Ted Anneman and 13 Steps to Mentalism by Corinda. Those books alone will give you a ton of material. Some of it you may have to update but there is still a lot of workable stuff in those books.

A really simple place to start is with Jay Sankey's dvd's. He has quite a lot of mental material. My favorite collection of his is Hemispheres, 21 Blows to the Head is also good.

I consider his stuff a good primer. It's all practical and not crazy hardcore.

Best starting point is Bob Cassidy's FundaMentals. It is on lybrary.com. Anneman and Corinduna are great resources but dated.

If you are are looking for mental magic tricks as opposed to serious mentalism, get Rich Feurgeson's This is Mentalism videos and Nate Kranzo's Boondock Mental video. For card tricks with a mentalism presentation get Banon's Mentalissmo.

If you are serious about mentalism, you want to look at books by Banachehck, Leslie, Maven, and Waters. Get Elliott Bresher's Switchcraft. From there you can branch out into cold reading, palm reading, and tarot.
