Cheers fella.

All this reminds me of something. I have seen my own DVD on these matters advertised by International Magic in Magic Magazine. For some reason there is no price mentioned. I suppose this must be some devilish marketing plan that I don't know about. Or perhaps a test to see how psychic the readers are.

The ironic thing is that I have never seen my own DVD even though everyone else has. I hope that I am truly wonderful.

I do expect to receive some DVDs of myself from International. I expect they will be sent posthumously.

I would like to add more praise for Paul's excellent book and anyone wishing to get into palm reading - this is THE one to buy.

As well written and clear as Paul's other work, this is another addition to an excellent canon of work which is essential study for anyone wishing to move into this kind of performance and contains real world advice from someone who has been out there and doing it for years.

A great book. Although I have to echo what Paul himself has said many times...if you mention palm reading, especially to women, then forget about doing any "magic" for the rest of the night, they will just want their palms read!

A few pointers to newbie palm readers. If the heart line and head line cross then they probably have a criminal past - ask them about it. If the thumb is short it means that they own a red car, almost certainly an Audi. If the little finger is longer than the middle finger then they come from Norfolk. If they are wearing a ring on the ring finger of their left hand then they are married. If they aren't wearing a ring on the ring finger of their left hand then they are pretending not to be married, but they probably still are and are out on the pull. Get them to confirm. If the fate line is short then they are definitely a Pisces. If they have six fingers then they killed your father and should prepare to die. If they have a fat thumb then they are probably a fat person (take a quick look at their stomach to check).


Hope this helps. :D

I bought this last Saturday and read it several times since. The way Paul takes each part and describes in detail what to look for and say is exceptionally useful.

If you are very new to readings in general or need guidance on patter then that is something which is not included at great depth in this book which is why if you are in that situation Reader of Minds goes exceptionally well with this. As a standalone guide to palm reading this is fantastic.

All of Paul's books are wonderful and packed with real world solid advice. I use several of the things in his books for my own work. Highly recommended for anyone interested in this area of entertainment. The paranormal entertainer is also a must buy from Paul.

hey
Mark

ha ha ..i bought your DVD last week , after an hour and a half on the rack in Martins basement. Its interesting your thoughts on Palmistry and Chinese numerology and ive gleaned some good ideas about using Western Numerology into a CAAN plot that ive been playing with.

I didnt realise you could get away with so much in this area( " tell them anything, it wont make any bloody difference "). Personally being a man of Science i could never get into to the " readings" thing but i can see the attraction.

Anyway the DVD is fine. Only problem was that the Chinese Numerology sort of segued into the Western Numerology without warning and was a bit confusing. Who was it who said " everyone is confused for 15 minutes" ...Also some footage was joined together afterwards from your two day lecture so there were a few "Tie" colour changes mid scene

Thanks Mark anyway for an entertaining and informative DVD and good luck

Coincidentally, I just bought this last week without having read the review (it's now even more of a bargain at £8. It is brilliant. I have nothing more to add, except to echo what everyone else has said. Get it.

Regarding palm reading, this book should be the first port of call if you are keen to work in that area. As with all of Paul's books it's well-written, free of padding and packed solid with workable information and advice from a real worker in the field.

I'd just like to agree with the positive words about Paul's ebook - I cannot think of a better primer for anyone wanting to get into palmistry in a painless way!

pauls stuff is always of great quality, not that I have any. :wink: :wink:
I have some black heart stuff and do a basic hand reading in one hand while using runes in there other hand, gives me ample opertunity to plant coins under watches and in pockets for later in the show. :)
