Tarbell Course in Magic - Volume 052 - Secrets of Mental Magic

The basics of magic

Many people have a strong need to delve deeply into the unknown, the unfathomable, and the supernatural. Magicians who perform as mind readers, fortune tellers, or clairvoyants are aware of this human trait and have always captivated their audiences in front of sold-out crowds all over the world.

In this lesson, you will be introduced to a variety of different effects that you can perform off the cuff, at home, in a club, or on stage, including some that, when presented skillfully, are so astonishing that it is easy to understand why the uninitiated might suspect supernatural or "magical" forces at work.

Harlan Tarbell covers everything from book tests to various variations of the living-or-death test to answering questions in front of large audiences. He familiarizes you with a wide variety of techniques, tools, and psychological subtleties, thus providing you with the foundation for a convincing mind-reading experience.
