Review:
Christian Painter PROTOPLASM I received the book last week, and I read it through this weekend. What a great book! My favorite routines include Impromptu 30 seconds........so simple yet so devious Painters Poker Face........ another great one using a few cards Touchstones............... very nice touch on eq.......ue. Diming you Out............. money effect. Plus many many more...... This has got to be one of my favorite books, plus it has workers on it! Buy this book, you wont regret it, especially since Christian cares about the word mentalism and how he wishes to entertain his audiences rather than bore them to death with mentalism effects presented incorrectly. Alex At least 3 workers that I cna use immediately

Alex,
I will be touring through Texas this most of this month…where are you located? We will also be giving a lecture in El Paso. I’m really happy that you are finding so much that you enjoy out of the book. My personal favorite is Painter’s Poker Face…cause it has my name in the title… no, that’s not it..but I do like it. I think the most surprising effect that has been a huge favorite has been “30 Seconds” . I do use it quite a bit, simple, quick, and easy for the audience to understand. I just never thought it would be a favorite of those that read the book. Another one that I enjoy is “Diming you out”. Back in my restaurant days..this was one of my most requested effects…sometimes I had to be a little clever when I knew that they had seen it a couple of times before and wanted to see it again… Overall a good problem to have. Denny Haney and a couple of guys from Vegas have written to tell me that they loved . . . Stepping Stone Surprise. When I came up with that idea…I was sure someone had surly thought of this before. The PDQ/second site act has also been a big favorite of some of the people who have written to me. One couple has been working to put it into their stand up act. Hopefully we will get to meet you as we go through Texas.

Mr. P,
Thanks for the information! It's a shame that we couldn't get to see you in San Antonio! Perhaps the next time you come thru Texas we'll get a chance to meet you... Take care, Rochaz

I just got a chance to read this. It rocks! And I will second the notion that Christian broods about his work cosntantly, if by brood you mean he obsesses about every minute detail. The results speak for themselves.

Thanks for the great compliment Chris.
you guys are making me nervous about this brooding thing. Are you sure I'm brooding...maybe I'm just hungry. Another Video should be coming up this weekend

This is one of my favorite purchases of 2010. Brilliant. I love the practical effects, the attention to detail and the way it is written.
Excellent work. Thanks Christian. Anthony

Thanks Anthony, I'm pleased you have enjoyed the book.
Let me know what your favorite part of the book was/is. I have been gratified to know that the favorites of so many people have been very different. I have your Manchurian DVDs and enjoyed them very much. Your style and humor were much appreciated when you're watching 4 DVDs. Lol.

I recently bought this book from Denny and Lee's (actually there). In short, this was full of great practical routines from someone who makes a living doing it. Fantastic book!
