Hi everyone - another mentalism nut on board

Postby magicjimmy » Feb 2nd, '09, 16:17



Hi everyone,

I totally hooked on the mentalism side of magic so I'm totally up for all the hard work involved to master it. So if anyone has any tips and advise please let me know.

Hiya Jimmy welcome to TM.

Have a read of Craig Brownings post on becomming a mentalist. A very good book to get you going is Karl Fulves Self Working Mental Magic, followed by 13 Steps to Mentalism and Practical Mental Magic.

I know that you're interested in mentalism but I also really do think that it's worth learning some basic sleights from other areas of magic such as cards and coins. They can come in very useful with mentalism.

You initially thought of a positive integer less than ten. Probably seven or four.

Then you changed it to a positive integer greater than ten but less than five hundred. Three hundred and seventy-six.

Finally you slipped to an irrational having gone through thinking about but rejecting a complex number as it would be too pretentious. Pi or e.

Do I win a banana?

What fruit am I thinking of?

Being a big fan of the film "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" I'm ashamed to say the number I thought of was, errr, 69 dude!!!! :oops: :lol:

(If you haven't seen this film you really should!)

And the fruit you are thinking of is a tomato (as all pub-quiz bores know, yes, it is a fruit!).

Knowledge is when you know a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is when you know not to use it in a fruit salad...
