They are complementary but different. With Naked Mentalism you will have a set of principles and facts to go out and perform effects with a bit if study and contemplation. With SOM you will have additional tools to understand your participants and some really good exercises to explore the power of the subconscious mind. I do not think it is an 'either or' judgement, but a 'both and'...
Thanks. At the moment it's a choice of one or the other for financial reasons, but I think I'll go with Naked Mentalism for now and pick up Sleight of Mind later on.
