Publisher's Description:
This Deluxe Edition of Mentalism, Incorporated includes both Volume 1 and Volume 2, along with a special 3rd volume of material titled, Afterthoughts.
Afterthoughts contains two of Chuck Hickok's most sought-after works: Diagonal Magic Square and Thought-Full Telepathy.
Diagonal Magic Square is an easy-to-learn, repeatable Magic Square created from four freely-chosen numbers.
Thought-Full Telepathy is designed to help you present any telepathy demonstration in a more convincing and entertaining manner. It includes information on scripting, methods, and presentational concepts to take your mentalism to the next level.
Previously only available in extremely limited numbers and long out of print, we are delighted to present this material once again.
The Deluxe Set is housed in a handsome burgundy cloth slipcase, stamped with gold foil. Only 250 Deluxe Sets have been printed, and they will never be reprinted.
In addition to the 3 volumes of incredible mentalism, each Deluxe Edition also includes a printed letter from Chuck Hickok, and each volume of Afterthoughts has a hand-autographed bookplate.
Volume 1:
Mentalism, Incorporated differs from most books on mentalism and magic in several important ways.
Rather than being simply another book of effects, it presents a detailed description of a complete mentalism act... one that has proved successful before corporate audiences of all sizes.
Mentalism, Incorporated not only contains detailed instructions for performing nine audience-tested mentalism routines, but also reveals the secrets that make each routine powerful and entertaining.
The chapters on entertainment and presentation contain many invaluable suggestions for the performance of mentalism for corporate audiences... the kind of information that is rarely found in books on mentalism.
While Mentalism, Incorporated is perfect for a person new to the art of mentalism, it also offers a wealth of practical ideas and suggestions to the experienced performer.
Volume 2:
Mentalism, Incorporated: Volume Two continues and expands upon the philosophy and perspectives presented in the highly acclaimed Mentalism, Incorporated.
The purpose of this book is to help the reader become a better, more entertaining mentalist. Volume Two combines proven suggestions for performing mentalism along with easy to learn routines.
Volume Two begins with the first serious examinations of forces for mentalists in fifty years along with six strategies for effectively using forces in a mentalism act.
Volume Two continues with fourteen essays on mentalism that were previously available to only the world‘s top mentalists. Each essay contains practical ideas and thought-provoking questions for the serious mentalist.
Volume Two concludes with detailed instructions for performing three strong audience-tested mentalism routines… revealing the secrets that make each routine so powerful and entertaining.
Like Mentalism, Incorporated, this is a book you will want to read more than once.
