This is a sourcebook on that most useful of tools, the Impression Device. I didn't want to write an encyclopedia, but a useful reference covering types of Impression Devices, the various capturing media, papers, writing implements, some history, routines,peeks,presentations, and more importantly--how to research and develop your own routines and applications for your Impression Devices.
My first new book in eight years, this book is the third (well fourth, if you count Q and A My Way) on the Q and A Act. It's the third in the Compleat Fortune-Teller Series. THis book discusses a wide variety of topics including building premise and persona, marketing, incorporating readings into the Q and A Act, Pseudo-Psychometry, and my wrinkles on the Au-Natural" Q and A Presentation. At 100 pages, next to Heavy Mental, my longest book yet. Also includes biting satire and social commentary.
The Messiah Process. No mentalism routines, but an in-depth discussion of psychological techniques to create a magickal experience in the sitter. Past life regression, astral projection, hypnosis, implanting false memories. Three case histories of people who created small cults using these techniques........ $35
There is a bewildering amount of material on the market for magicians, but the Mentalist's needs are different. In my opinion, the sleights and subtleties included in this book are essential for any Mentalist.
