So far there seem to be some excellent concepts and ideas in this book and I can't wait to finish it and then go back through to start practising some of the effects. I am very keen to learn more about the art of mentalism as card and coin tricks always have some heat on the 'props' in the spectator's mind however with mentalism there really is almost nowhere for them to hide. I only bought my copy of 13 steps a few weeks ago and am currently on the 4th step.
13 STEPS TO MENTALISM EPUB TORRENT
Giving one of the holy trinity (RRTCM, Bobo and 13 steps) an 8, I'm sure there's gonna be a whole torrent of abuse heading your way from the mentalists here. In the meantime, you may want to take that foot out of your mouth.Ĭraig Browning Elite Member Posts: 4426 Joined: Nov 5th, '05, 14:53 Location: Northampton, MA * USA Alternatively, keep it around for when you grow up enough to appreciate what you have in hand and how it alone, can give you a very profitable career (as it has done for hundreds if not thousands of others). you need to give it to a friend that will respect it and the art it represents and run back to the comfort of the latest E offering in that this seems to be the height of your present mentality. In other words, you DIDN'T "Read" the book and you certainly came nowhere close to "studying" it e.g. truthfully, you did as most magic buffs, you skimmed through the book and not finding enough pictures for peeking your interest, lost the gist of things. Something you obviously didn't realize nor registered on as you started "reading" said tome.
13 STEPS TO MENTALISM EPUB HOW TO
It is NOT a book full of tricks but a course in how to transform one's self away from being a Magician and into the role of being a Mentalist. This book is one of the most heralded books on the subject when it comes to learning the essentials about what Mentalism is, the more traditional methods for doing things, etc. Secondly, if you are jumping straight into book tests then you have no foundation for yourself when it comes to presentation and building into such a demonstration. For starters, that book was originally sold as 13 separate lessons that were to be studied in order and for a reason. Yes, that's harshly put but your own words have proven the fact that you will not do Mentalism in a proper manner. it's beyond your comprehension level it would seem. do us all a favor and don't try to learn any of the "tricks" we do. I give it a nine, purely for the fact i had to read it twice to fully understand some concepts (not saying its a bad thing)Ī good book for starting out and seeing where you might want to go.Īnd this is exactly why MAGIC HOBBYIST need to stay away from Mentalism I can see why it is called the bible of mentalism, and how these lessons, form the basis of much that is around today, abeit adapted and personalized. I like the fact each chapter is in esscence it's own booklet, so you can avoid massive overload of brain power. However on my second reading, much easier and flows nicely. I found the book heavy, (not literally ), as contains a lot of information and myself being one of the first books i read, difficult to understand some concepts. Putting into practice 3-4 and some even a 5. The principles of some are 1-2, so simple once explained. (1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,Ĥ=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only) Clear diagrams of how to make certain gimmicks. Has sample effects and contexts in which each could be used. Has thirteen different lessons, covering gimmicks and areas of mentalism. Review of the full book from a relatively new persons point of view.Ī book (also dubbed the mentalists bible).
