Mind-reading, fortune telling, uncanny predictions and other paranormal activities continue to baffle audiences throughout the world. For all the books published on conventional magic tricks -- cards, coins and the like -- very few deal with the deceptively simple world of psychic magic. Marc LeMezma, a leading member of the Magic Circle, opens up this world and shows just how easy it is to trick your audience into thinking that you can read their minds, predict their futures and control their thoughts. This beautifully presented book, with 17 tricks that anyone with a little guile and patter can perform, guides the reader through a little history of the subject, moving into the realms of mind-reading, ghostly occurrences, fortune telling and mind control, creating atmosphere, stories and stunts to amuse and confuse. Including tips on what to wear, what food and drink to serve, and how to set up your room, Marc LeMezma also gives information on a growing interest -- holding a paranormal party
Mostly cool tricks and mostly easy to understand and learn. I only used a couple so far, but the ones I learned were relatively simple and they worked well. My friends and family were amazed. One caution...fight the temptation to repeat them at what will surely be popular demand by your audience! As they lose their entertainment value with each repeat in front of the same people. The smarter (or more attentive) folks will start to figure them out!(This is actually the case with any magic and does not take anything away from the tricks themselves!) Overall, I recommend the book. I had a lot of fun with it.
