Im going to buy Richard Osterlinds Mind Mysteries.I can only afford two of them now so which ones you think are better or first to buy.By the way I already got Volume 6. Any help would be good.

Thanks!

They are a great set of DVD's but if I had to choose just two of them it would be 1 + 3. Vol 1 covers Osterlind's commercial act which is superb, while 3 features several other excellent effects.

2 has some of the strongest card stuff in mentalism.

Vol 1 is probably the best video resource on mentalism around.

He also has a brand new set that is coming out VERY soon...

Some time ago I decided to purchase one of the Mind Mysteries DVD's, and ordered Mind Mysteries I. When the order arrived in the mail several days later it so happened that the shop accidently sent me Mind Mysteries II, (Breakthrough Card System). I was a little annoyed, checked the invoice ...looked at the DVD package again ... and was resigned to the fact that I would return the the DVD.
Suddenly my better judgement kicked in and I decided to spin the DVD and check it out, (remembering when Houdini took what he thought was the wrong book home one day).

Let me just say that I am so thankfull that DIAMOND'S MAGIC sent the wrong DVD. The Breakthrough Card System is one of the most powerfull tools in my magic/mentalism kit!!!

So don't pass up Mind Mysteries II, The Breakthrough Card System. Knowing a dependable and deceptive card stack will open up a vast array of performance pieces and presentations for the rest of your life.

(p.s. I eventually purchased Mind Mysteries I, and I like it, but it can not compare to what may be one of Osterlind's lasting magical legacies ...The Breakthrough Card System).

I would say buy Vol.1 and Vol.5. Look at the effect lists - you will find great material on both DVDs.

I have Volumes 1, 2, 3, and 4. The most bang for your buck is Volume 1.... I like volume 2 also, but it is all about his stacked deck. If you don't want to do mental effects with cards then avoid Volume 2.

But I must say that Volume 1 is my favorite... ALL workable and startling effects!!!!!
