I mentioned earlier this week if anyone was interested in an ebook regarding face reading. I have finished it and it is 43 pages in length. I have sent out review copies to a few notable readers and mentalists and am waiting on their reviews of the product before I put it out for distribution via imentalism.com
I will keep you all posted. -isi |

Powerwords,
I am not familiar with Paul Ekman's micro expresssion theory, so I cannot comment. *edit* I went online and searched for ekman's theory and my offering is is not related to it. What I can say is this system is a hybrid of various modalities and observations that was taught to me from an elderly chinese face reader while I worked in Singapore and it is valid for both asian and european features. I have simplified a bit of the information given to me from him as there was more there than needed for mentalists, I don't think any of us would be giving one client a life map based off the face markings. I tried to keep it in a functional easy to remember format. |

Powerwords, in regards to Paul Ekman's micro expression theory and this new work I can say for certain they are completely different. It is also different than the studies conducted by Dr. Ewan Grant of Birmingham University during the late 1960's and the early 1970's and is also very different from the work of Gerard I. Neirenberg and Henry H. Calero published in 1971. Now that said one could see similarity between the two works if one does not fully understand the premise of Ekman's, Neirenberg, Grant, or Calero's methodology.
What is profound about this new work is that this system is orientated towards obtaining certain information of the kind that would be used by a cold reader or psychic. That is why I feel this work is a fascinating look into a earlier form of face and body reading used by ethnographic readers, Shamans and Witch Doctors. In this work you can tell this was secret knowledge that was passed down from teacher to student. This work is truly remarkable in its simplicity. The whole system could be learned in a few days for a basic understanding and with a little more practice this wonderful elegantly simple system could stand alone as a entire psychic act if presented to the right audience. This work may not be for everyone but for those of you who understand what I have said the work is golden. Bill Montana |

Getting this as soon as it comes out
I have a few Paul Ekman's books and have found them extremely interesting. Actually I even do a routine where I read the spectators mind observing the micro expressions on their faces. That's the pseudo explanation, not the real method, of course. However, knowing how micro expressions really work makes the presentation much much stronger. Isi, I'm sure your ebook has some gems that I'll be able to incorporate in my current routine. Looking forward to getting this! All the best, Aleksi Hietanen |

Hi,
I had the chance to get a preview copy of Walter's ebook. And I just can agree Bill's remarks. I found it a wonderful piece of work. Walter mentioned that he decided to keep this work simple and practical. He did as he said! And he did it really well from my point of view! Just the right amount of depth to offer a fundamental knowledge ... ... but not too much so that it would become impracticable. So it's exactly this kind of depth you can use as a kind of "quick start guide" in practice. Very well done - I appreciate this very much. The only problem with it is that interested colleagues will obviously be craving for more. The practicability of a manageable amount of knowledge is a huge advantage in practice on the one hand ... ... but once being hooked you obviously want to learn more! Maybe Walter decides to produce an additional in depth work some day. I would look forward to such a publication! Highly recommended! Cheers Th. |

Just got this review in from Jerome Finley:
Quote:
"I just finished your "Face Reading for Mentalists" e-book and I've got to say, this is really beautiful stuff...Your book is the most streamlined, no-nonsense and BS free piece of work I've read in awhile...you cut right to the point and give the reader GREAT information they can use immediately to give accurate and compelling readings ...While I was familiar with some of the material you've done a lovely job of condensing this information which can definitely prove daunting, complicated and confusing to newcomers and you tipped plenty that I wasn't familiar with and had never seen, learned or heard of before this within the first 10 or 15 pages, and it just kept getting better. I am waiting for Imentalism to get back to me about the page for hosting this work. I will update all of you when it is live. @Tony: if you are able to do lifemap's via face reading than this work will probably not be for you. Thank you guys, -isi Posted: Sep 6, 2010 12:28am Just an update for you all. the price will be $60 and I will take orders directly via paypal UNTIL the imentalism page is up and running. PM me if you are interested. Thank you again for all of your expressed interests. |

Hi all,
isid0re was kind enough to send me a review copy of this new work. I have to say this is worth its weight in gold! and will add to any readers skill-set in a very short time due to the easy to understand writing style and greats pic's. The book takes you through all you need to be able to give very in depth and insightful readings both for entertainment and from a professional stand-point. As for the price, I have like so many here seen so much released for much much more and been very upset and disappointed due to most of it being a re-hash of older (and better information) This however, is more than worth the asking price and the subject is long over-due!. I for one am hoping there will be a follow up..... Highly recommended. David.
Karma means you buy now & pay later.....think I've over spent....!

There are numerous websites and books on Chinese face reading. I was wondering how your book differentiates itself from them. Thanks in advance for a response.

Dmkraig, while some of the info on face reading may appear to be similar to some of the regurgitated garbage that is on some of the sites you mentioned this new work has some very new and interesting items like Jerome and a few other I fave never seen some of this before. It was refreshing to see such a new look on the subject. I love this new book read it again for the third time.

Who would expect in all honesty that someone invents the wheel these days?
Of course there are numerous websites and books on (Chinese) face reading. And of course you can find each and every information Walter incorporated in his ebook somewhere else. You just have to ... ... search and study enough literature and websites long enough ... ... seperate important, useful and reliable aspects from the nonsense ... ... boil down all this stuff to the basic concentrate ... ... test and re-test it ... ... apply it to a mentalism context ... ... test and re-test it again ... ... construct an approved kind of "training manual"/"quick start guide" out of it ... ... and YES : As fast as that you did the same as Walter did! Have fun! But apart from this: The months I would need to do all those things just to save 60 bucks ... ... I can use the informations Walter gave me and earn far more than 60 bucks in the same time. Cheers Th. |

Hmmm, guess I won't ask any more questions here.
I've been spanked enough recently. Good luck with what I hope will be an excellent purchase for those who buy it. FYI, in my humble opinion, nothing turns people off more than negative attitudes and dismissive self-superiority towards people asking simple honest questions. Tony |
