Where to start?

[Lainhain]

i want to learn mentalism, but I realize it's difficult and takes time. My ultimate goal is to be able to do slight of hand and work tricks using people.
I must start somewhere,
So where do I start and which way path should I go towards?

Thank you

Ps. I will be running through the thread for similar questions but I would like to have as straight forward answer as possible.
Thank you again

Darren Brown and Banachek are probably the greatest mentalists. I'd start with those two. Cheers!
