Looking to get started in mentalism.
Mainly interested for now in propels or stuff I can do impromptu with a very small prop. I really don't want to take the plunge on p**ks or what not. Any suggestions on videos or books with actual effects I can learn? |

What do you do now? You are starting with one of the somewhat most difficult types of mentalism. Of course this is only my opinion.

Great Point. I wish more guys would provide the "why" when asking for assistance as I think it would allow us to better understand them and better assist them with the actual type of info abd best direction of which they are seeking.

I think, for somebody interested in mentalism and who has performing experience, something like Tequila Hustler could be a nice introduction. Reno has been a magic Café member for over 15 years so I'm guessing.
Simple plot and premise, relatively little to remember, propless, can be done over video. Requires a good performance to actually have an impact. All these are definite pluses for somebody with performing experience. Good luck Reno! |

Thanks! Yes I won Tequila Hustler so I am wanting more stuff in that sense

If you want some accessible propless stuff check out Atlas Brookings Penguin Lecture and his book Prodigal and the Intrepid Rogues Manual of Deception, Mark Elsdon's Penguin Lecture, Patrick Redford's Sunrise (though it technically uses borrowed props), Phedon Bilek's projects Proteus and Sybil, Matt Mello's PATHS and some of his other stuff. Hope this helps, good luck and have fun!

If you are going to begin discussing this it should be moved to IT
