THE BLURB:
Bob Cassidy, one of America's foremost mentalists, has been
a professional entertainer for more than 25 years. Author of
The Art of Mentalism, a modern day classic, he has the
unique ability to convince any audience that he can read
their innermost thoughts, while also amazing and
entertaining them in the process. .On this DVD/Video
Cassidy performs his professional show in front of an amazed
audience of mentalists and then explains everything.

If you ever wanted to make people believe you can read their
minds, you must see this tape. Cassidy teaches many of his
original routines and discusses how to structure, present
and create a mind reading show.

Routines Taught:

* Chronologue: A predicted card matches what is written
in a diary on a freely selected date. New work and
psychology including stage and close-up versions.
* Name/Place Routine: A couple of spectators think of a
person and a place and you divine their thoughts.
* Psychomatic Deck: A spectator looks at a card in the
deck and you read their mind, telling them what card they
are thinking of.
* Fourth Dimensional Telepathy: You reveal the name of a
childhood friend, the name of a pet, and reproduce a
previously drawn illustration.
* Card Memory: A rapid memorization of a shuffled deck
of cards.

Techniques Taught:
Includes dozens of technical and psychological tips,
theories and advice about prop management, pocket
management, staging, checkpoints, prop construction,
mnemonics, establishing actions, taking advantage of
coincidence, prop selections, miscalls, billet preparation,
covering of errors, precautionary measures, giving clear
instructions, deck stacks, making mentalism credible, and
much more.

Also includes discussions on how and why the show is
structured, getting the whole audience involved,
presentational ideas, patter and more. All items are easy to
execute and are within anyone's reach. After watching this
program you will want to be a Psychic Entertainer.

MY COMMENTS:
Many consider that this is one of the most perfect acts in
mentalism. And Bob is certainly one of the most experienced
workers in the field of mentalism. Everyone from novices to
professionals can learn from him. His Fourth Dimensional
Telepathy and Name/Place Routine are legendary classics that
every mentalist must learn, regardless of whether they
perform them or not. Like a good DVD lecture should be, the
effects are secondary and are used to illustrate important
principles and techniques. I've met quite a few performers
who were inspired to either become mentalists or include
mentalism in their acts due to this highly recommended
DVD/video. If you don't have this in your collection, do
yourself a favor and add it now.
