not quite what youd expect August 17, 2008
I bought this book as i was expecting something on the lines of the "Derren Brown" type of magic based round human phsycology. Although there are one or true clever little tricks in this book, there is very little that i would describe as mental magic. Most of the tricks are straight forward and some are even fairly good but there isnt enough on mentalism, cold reading and such like as the title suggests

Excellent guide to fundamental tricks July 21, 2005

I think a few reviews have been a bit harsh - this book isn't going to turn you into Derren Brown overnight. What it will do is give you 20-30 tricks that you can use and develop that are reasonably simple to perform, some of which will really baffle even the most cynical. The book is well written and laid out, varied and easy to follow. If you want a sound grounding, it's definately worth a look and a complete steal at the price.

I was a little disappointed with this one.
In general it is quite good if you want to impress with a few card tricks and stuff, but only few of the tricks were actually MIND READING tricks or were to do with MIND READING, most were terribly simple dinner table tricks that depended on a dodgy light of hand ability.
Good if you want a couple of nifty dinner table tricks...bad if you want to learn MIND READING....don't know why he put it in the title!!

Only OK but worth a look for amateurs April 24, 2003

The tricks in this book are pretty basic as mentalism goes. Mentalism generally relies on people peeking what has been written/drawn, having multiple get-outs or reducing the choice and this book covers most of those methods pretty well. I'd say most of them are more puzzlers than potential evidence of something psychic. Maybe that's because I'm well versed in magic. It would certainly be a good starting point for someone new to mental magic.

I can see that this book has it's fans, but I am ot one of them. The tricks are verging on child like, and the whole way the book is laid out is very ninteen sixties. In summary, all you budding Derren Browns need to look elsewhere....
