Does anyone own this book and would care to give a review. It sounds a little too good to be true.

I had something published in The Book of Life, which fitted in with Al Mann's theme for that manuscript. It's one of his lesser known manuscripts.

It is excellent but requires a LOT OF WORK to assemble - basically it is a book test where what is seen is: a spectator chooses a random page from a random book and concentrates... when he or she looks at the page, only on THAT PAGE is the SPECTATOR'S CHOSEN WORD WRITTEN/BURNT across that PAGE...
A superpowerful effect - I've never tried it because as mentioned, there is a heck of a lot of work to do to prepare for it... no stooges etc... more manual labour of love. Al Mann was a genius that the mentalist community underappreciated, IMHO

James, You are right, the tree reading was included by Al Mann - it had originally appeared in High Domain. What I had discussed with Al and what he published was giving a reading based on a drawing which included a number of objects, one of which was the tree.
The idea is not original with me. I had seen it done at a party as a game and realised it could be used for readings. It was new to Al and he was quite excited about it. |

Gentlemen, I think there may be slight confusion here. I didn't come up with the Tree Reading. It was first published, to my knowledge, by Al Mann in High Domain, one of his manuscripts.
What I had come across at a party was a game where people draw a number of items including a tree. I realised it could be done as a reading. From what they draw and where they draw it on the page, you base your interpretation. That's what Al published in The Book of Life. If you like this idea then check out Timothy's (MrHyde) version of The Pig Test described in The Secret Notebooks of Mr Hyde Vol 1. His link is at the bottom of his posting above. It's very similar in concept. If, as James mentions Rudy Hunter, a very accomplished reader and entertainer, releases his version of the Tree reading, it would be a wise investment. |

Quentin,
Your signature - On your Speaking in Schools - very well done! Looks like a great business opportunity for some magicians! I'll PM you a couple of questions. I must add that when I saw "The Shiels Effect" linked to 'a unique presentation for schools and libraries' I almost dropped my laptop! It's a good book, but you can guess which part made the biggest impression! |
