First a disclaimer:
I haven't read this work yet and Damon did not know I was going to post this. With that out of the way, Damon is releasing this week a new and, I suspect definitive, reference on Bob Nelson--"Bob Nelson's Sins and Secrets." Throughout the Sixties and beyond, Damon spent afternoons and weekends working for Nelson, giving him a unique vantage point for this book, which includes photos and never before published information about the acclaimed mentalist. Also included is a Zodiac Chart system that Nelson made a fortune from using, as did Damon. (Damon's own career is equally fascinating). So how can I be so sure that this is going to be a wonderful work? Because I've discussed Nelson with Damon and our talks have convinced me that this will be the book many of us have been hoping would appear. (And it's just the start of a number of works Damon plans to publish). This now book will give us this opportunity to learn more about and from Nelson--at least those who hold that the past masters continue to be rich repositories of utilizable knowledge. Those who believe that mentalism started with the next new thing need not apply. Others can--and should-- check this out at http://www.magictreasurechest.com. |

Thank you for your kind and gracious words about my book/manuscript. Bob was very close to me and I considered him my father figure. He, like Dunninger and Houdini, was a trailblazer. Bob blazed trails for all those who practise mentalism today. I am not expecting that my writings will become bestsellers to the public - the purpose of my writings is only to put on record things that younger magicians and mentalists may not otherwise know or realize. I guess being older makes one want to share history. Bob was one of the most fascinating people of his time. He knew the future - he could feel and project it. Perhaps he shared so much with me because he knew that one day I would pay homage to him by writing about him. His illustrious life deserves to be honored.
With your approval, I would like to add your kind words to my website. In appreciation, Damon

Damon, please feel free to quote whatever you wish. I would be honored.
However I feel you're going to have many excellent quotes to choose from once the work is out and read. |
