Books about mentalism

Postby Magic-Illusion » Dec 28th, '08, 20:57



Hi all... I'm wondering if anyone could help me about which book I should buy? I am into mentalism and don't know which books to buy.. The choice is either: M.I.N.D. by Lee Earle, MENTALISM INCORPORATED by Chuck Hickok, MIND MYTH AND MAGICK by T.A. Waters or PSYCHOLOGICAL SUBTLETIES by Banachek?

If anyone own one of the above list of books I would appreciate that you give a short review if it is woth buying?


Thanks :D :lol:

Have you got 13 steps and Practical Mental Magic?

I'm sure someone already directed you to this thread before, but here it is again.

and as has been said 13 steps and practical mental magic are the starting points if you don't have them. The books you mentioned I believe have been reviewed in the review sections if you check the index.

I'm working my way through 13 Steps and Practical Mental Magic at the moment and they're both brilliant books to get going with. I started out with various different mentalism books but these two are by far the best out there for learning the basics.
