THE EFFECT

An ebook for any mentalists wishing to explore the world of commercial 1-2-1 Psychic Readings in their various formats and presentations.

THE OFFICIAL BLURB
The Psychic Cash Machine: Make Money from Psychic Readings is the ultimate guide to how to actually earn a living as a psychic reader. Whether your oracle of choice is the tarot or the palm or something more flamboyant, you'll find a wealth of information in this ebook to help you actually get your skills working for you! Areas covered include psychic parties, psychic fairs, one-to-one readings and working as a table-hopping reader. This ebook is full of real life experience from someone who continues to work successfully in this field. The author Paul Voodini is UK's most prolific "psychic entertainer", making the bulk of his professional income from providing tarot card and palm readings in the various arenas discussed in this book.

This book will not tell you HOW to do readings, but rather will tell you where to ply your trade as a reader, how to generate interest in your business, what to expect at the various venues and the avoidable pit-falls. This is real world experience - Paul learnt his trade the hard way so now you don't need to! By following this easy to understand guide you will be up and running as a professional reader in no time at all!

Written in Paul's usual joie de vivre manner, this book is a pleasure to read, full of real world experience and anecdotes from a man who obviously loves his trade and wants to share this information with other kindred spirits.

COST

£22 from www.readerofminds.co.uk also soon to be available from the excellent Lebanon Circle and Lybrary


DIFFICULTY
(1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)

1 - as this is about the setting up and marketing of commercial psychic readings; with this tome, it is as simple as simple can be.


REVIEW

A no-nonsense and extremely well written guide to the world of the commercial psychic reader. This very clear book will tell you all you need to know about the various ways of presenting and establishing oneself as a working 1-2-1 Psychic.
This book is NOT about cold reading or the nuts and bolts of the actual reading itself. If you want to learn about those areas then I personally recommend "Reader of Minds" by the same author or Lord Freddie Valentine's "The Tarot Reader's Black Book".

The problem, if you can call it a problem, is that Paul has such a compelling easy-to-read and friendly style of writing that it is very difficult to put the thing down! I'm going to nickname him the "Pringles" of Publishing in that "once-you-start-you-just-can't-stop"!

Psychic Readings have been my bread and butter for over 15 years so I feel very confident to say that as I read this work I just found myself saying "Yes... Yes... Yes..." all the way through. Because I know this world intimately it is patently obvious to me that Paul also knows exactly what he is talking about.

Any criticism? Well Paul is quite simply de-mystifying it all a bit too much! He makes it so inviting and non-threatening for anyone who is attracted to this arena that I don't want the competition ha ha!

OVERALL

10 out of 10
You get what you pay for with this book. Paul delivers with wit, clarity and kindness! And his lectures and workshops are fantastic too :D

I have also read this great book and it's yet another valuable tome filled with solid advice gained from working in the real world.

Not only are Paul's books packed with practical information, they are also a joy to read and offer insights into all aspects of entertaining in this field.

Like Mick and Paul himself, I come from a background of working in this field and Paul tells it like it is. This is the real work. The facts of the trade.

Well done Paul on another great addition to a library of essential works.

Wow, thanks for the kind words guys - much appreciated and delighted that you like it.

I should point out that to celebrate the launch of Psychic cash machine I have a special offer available for members of Talk Magic - all 8 of my ebooks (including Psychic Cash Machine) are now available at the reduced price of £50 for all 8 - that represents a saving of around £65 when compared to the price of each individual ebook. This offer runs out on Saturday, so do take advantage of it before then. Link to my website is in my signature.

Cheers guys! :D

I purchased and received my copy this morning. I have just finished reading it and i am very impressed. This is an ideal starting guide for people who want to get into the business side of readings and there is much advice for us that already give readings in a commercial environment. Paul covers everything you need to know including decorating tables, promotion and what to charge for some services. This is another great book by Paul and i am eager to find out what he comes up with next!
