I've seen Mr Chuck Hickok in a lecture he did in Montreal last Year and I didn't know the man before the lecture. Well, I was very impressed by his presentation and philosophy about mentalism. I just finished his book called "Mentalism Incorporated" and it was very very good. I just love his approach to mentalism (wich remind me of Richard Osterlind's approach). Anyway, heres what I'd like to know:
1- What do you think about the guy? 2- Do you know if there's any new project comming out soon from Mr Hickok? Danik |

I have both of his books, and they are fantastic! They will always be valuable references in my library. I highly recommend them to any performer.

Thanks for the nice words.
I released my second book, Mentalism, Incorporated: Volume Two, a few months ago. It expands upon the ideas and beliefs about performing mentalism in a believable, entertaining mannner found in Mentalism, Incorporated. Both books are decribed at: http://www.chuckhickok.com./tools.html My lastest product release was my POSTCARD MEMORY DEMONSTRATION - which is an easy-to-learn and very, very impressive memory routine. I lectured at the IBM Convention in Miami a few weeks ago - the 50th stop on my endless lecture tour. I truly enjoy lecturing. It gives people who have my books a chance to see the ideas and routines from my books "come alive". These are the routines I still perform in my corporate show. My next lectures will be in Toronto and Buffalo early December. I just finished a small booklet - THE FINAL FOUR. It contains four wonderful essays on mentalism I wrote after finishing Volume Two. If you buy Mentalism, Incorprated: Volume Two from me, I will send you this booklet free. If you already own Volume Two, e-mail me at ChuckHickok@aol.com and I will e-mail you these essays. Just tell me the make of bike pictured in the book (page 56). I have no plans for a "Volume Three" and no new products in the development stage. I use everything I sell - and, at this point in time, since my "act" is set. I visit the Café every two or three days when I'm in town. I limit my postings to topics I have first-hand experience with. Yet, I'm willing to answer questions sent directly to me. Everything I know about mentalism I learned from others (much wiser than me) ... and now it is my time to help others learn from my experiences. I'm semi-retired - living in Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN in the summer and Pensacola, FL in the winter. Chuck Hickok |

Chuck is a most generous gentleman who really cares about mentalism. I had the pleasure of meeting Chuck, and his gracious wife, last year when he lectured Down Under. Chuck deeply thinks about his presentations & methods and his enthusiasm is contagious. His writings about book tests re-newed my own enthusiasm for them.
His books are a must-have for anyone serious about mentalism, performing & presentation. Don't pass any opportunity to attend Chuck's lecture which is an entertaining, high energy presentation. A few ideas/tips were worth "the price of admission" for me. Richard |

For me too! Like I said, I saw Mr Hickok's lecture in Montreal Canada last year and it was a superb. He a very likable man who's got a great mind for mentalism. I just loved his first book and with the comments you guys made, I will surelly buy the second one very soon.
Thank you for those wonderfull books mister Hickok! Danik |

I've taken advantage of Chuck's generous offer for his new essays. They are definitely worth a read! Chuck has some great ideas which are very thought provoking. And if you haven't yet read his books, you are missing something valuable to all mentalists.
