Some of this material was first presented as David Thiel lectured at the premiere gathering of mentalists at MindVention in Las Vegas. If you were there, you know how practical this information is in the real world. But there’s MUCH in this book for the pro, the semi – pro — or even the performer who is thinking about marketing his skills for the first time.
The Marketing Minded Mentalist is written in David’s engaging style, easy to understand — the kind of information that will help you revolutionize your career. You’ll see samples of the contracts, invoices and other documents he uses in his day to day business and work-in-the-real-world advice on how to use them.
“I had the pleasure of seeing David Thiel present his workshop “The Marketing Minded Mentalist” at MindVention. I was also privy to getting one of the very first copies of his book. Let me just say this – If I had this material 40 years ago I would have made many thousands of dollars! Everything David states in the book is right on. If you get this material, and apply it, you WILL succeed. There is nothing else I can say!”
Richard Osterlind, Corporate Mentalist

JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
There are not many marketing manuals designed by and for mentalists, but David Thiel has aptly taken on that challenge and filled that need with a manual that’s filled with practical information about how to market a mentalist, including material on designing your website, sales packages, handling established clients, and contracts. If you’re interested in marketing yourself, as opposed to being a happy hobbyist, then this 58 page downloadable PDF is certainly worth getting and definitely recommended.
