What OUT-OF-PRINT books do you consider essential for a modern mentalists library?

A few of my picks include:
-Larry Becker's "World of Super Mentalism" (both volumes)
-Phil Goldstein's "Color Series of Mentalism" (5 booklets)
-Al Koran's "Professional Presentations"
-"The Mental Magic of William Larson Sr."
-David Britland's "The Mind and Magic of David Berglas"
-George Anderson's "Dynamite Mentalism"

"-George Anderson's "Dynamite Mentalism"

You can get this one from Denny & Lees ( http://www.dennymagic.com )

None of the above, except Anderson, which will require guts and style, but is the real deal.

I have Berglas on sale
send me 160$ and you will get the book
(Iread it only once... )

Lior

lior- Did you read all 500 pages or did you get it for the any card at any number???

I know Berglas for many years and he was an insparation for me.
When Igot the book I saw that I know all it had inside, Nothing was new for me but there is a lot
for someone that want learn how to think big.

And no, It wasn't for card in number (which My wife and I saw in David's home again and again)

Send me the 150$ and it is yours

Sorry to disappoint you, but I have it as well.
Although if you go low enough it might be worth to buy the book and sell it on ebay...

It's just back IN print, but I'd have to add Larry Becker's Stunners Plus to that list. Everything inside is usable, strong material.

For me it has to be Compleat Magick.

I've been hoping it might be back in print for as long as I can remember.

I am aware that Volume 4 is still in print but at that price it might as well be out of print for me!!

I have to add that I have Maven's Blue Book and must say that I am not that impressed by it. But then again, it is probably because I am very specific with what I am looking for.

Samuel

There are actually 5 booklets in Phil Goldstein's "Color Series of Mentalism"
Blue - Red - Green - Yellow - Purple.
Cheers.

Purple or vialote?

Sorry to rehash an old topic, but I think there is more to add to this list. Smoke and Mirrors may not be essential, but it is good. As is Focus by Phil Goldstein.

I was wondering if Paul Curry's World Beyond could be added to the list. I know it's out of print, but is it rare. I hear the book is excellent. I just want to know if it is worth all the work and money it may take to add to my collection.

Trevor

Yes Trevor, it's a worthwhile-getting book. Go get it!

Lior, did the price just drop $10? How clean was the Berglas Any Card at Any Number? It's the stuff of legends!

Add Al Mann´s "Purloined Thought" to the list of "impossible to get" books.

I will never sell my copy of The Mind and Magic of David Berglas.
Every time I read it I learn something new!
