The Blurb
From Richard Osterlind:
“Carnival of Secrets is becoming one of my favorite books on mentalism! This book has everything! There are wonderful Neal Scryer effects that are classic mentalism, based on classic ideas and with classic presentations that are straight forward and powerful.
If all this book did was show how the simplest of principles can be turned into miracles, that would be enough. But that’s only the beginning. Even if you don’t do readings, learning the techniques this tome teaches can add infinite riches to your work. These methods are the best of the best and will take you to a new dimension that is what true mentalism is all about. And then the essays!
Michael Weber, Max Maven, Richard Webster, Mark Garetz, Loyd Auerbach and W.Barclay! Your head will be spinning by the time you reach the end and you will turn around and start reading it again – just like I did! This is our art in its highest form. If you are serious about mentalism, you will get this.” – Richard Osterlind March, 2013
