True: I bought it yesterday, read the latter and still have to finish the former, so I didn't notice the last page

It's difficult with Midnight Side of the Mind to really recommend further reading. There are a lot of elements from the world of hypnosis, and a lot of elements from the esoteric world. And I would always recommend reading as much as possible about related arts, but without blowing my own trumpet too loudly there isn't (as far as I know) much comparable material available to the mentalist. I would recommend anything by Jerome Finley and Luke Jermay, as their work and mine do seem to dovetail very nicely.

The influences on Midnight Side of the Mind were the Project Stargate experiments run by US military from the 1950's through to the 1970's and then movies such as Matrix and Inception. The challenge was to take subjects such as remote viewing and past life regressions, and make them entertaining for an audience to watch. I also took something of a leap of faith by releasing this book into the mentalist community not known for their acceptance of anything that remotely smelled of the esoteric. Luckily people like Jerome Finley, Luke Jermay and Neal Scryer had pathed the way and the book was (hurrah!) accepted with open arms.

Yes I did. I just skimmed through it and found it very interesting indeed. I already have several questions, but I'll hold them until I read it all.

I may have failed to mention it on this site, so here goes: The Art: Midnight Side of the Mind 2 is available to pre-order for just £30. This pre-order offer ends tomorrow (Thursday 15th) so do hurry if you're interested. www.readerofminds.co.uk for more details. Expected release date is end of March or first week in April.

Thanks!

I didn't get Part 1 when you had it on offer, is part 2 any use without part one Paul?

PM'd you Johnny.

But essentially the second installment will only make sense if you've got the first installment.
