Hello Joessmith,

To the best of my knowledge there isn't much in the way of audio books out there for magic.

There are, however, various recordings (normally MP3s) of performances, lectures and so forth available, often as downloads - www.lybrary.com carries some. In terms of mentalism I know that there are recordings of Chan Canasta and Bob Cassidy, and I imagine that there are far more.

(I'm also not entirely sure why this would be required, but each to their own...)

Your reality, sir, is lies and balderdash, and I'm delighted to say that I have no grasp of it whatsoever.

Kenton Knepper's wonder words spring to mind. Looking at his Wonder Wizards site there are a few Audio products

If it has to be an audio book, then Kenton's stuff is probably what you need.

I'd second Kenton's work, he's done quite a bit as audio books and it's all very good stuff. :D

I have never liked Kenton's stuff. Juliann Moore did one of his cold-reading books as an audio book and it was very good. I keep it in the van and play it occasionally as a refresher.

I don't know anything on conventional magic that has been released as an audio book.

why an audio book? his has to be the worst way to learn magic there is for a 15 year old.

you would be better off trying to find somebody who will give you one on one lessons.

you're like Yoda.you dont say much, but what you do say is worth listening to....
