Jheff's Guide

WHAT IT IS:
Book, harcover, 121 pages

HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE BLURB IS:
Accurate description, but leaves out the table of contents.

JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
This book, first published in 1993, covers basic theory on how to perform mentalism and basic routines which, in and of itself, is quite good, but when compared to some texts that have recently been released, it would not be my first choice to recommend to someone interested in the subject.
