As Harlan Tarbell so aptly pointed out in his introduction to the Encyclopedia of Mentalism, no one was better qualified to present the facts, methods and inner secrets of mentalism than Bob Nelson. Every aspect of the mentalism and psychic entertainment fields is covered in detail in this comprehensive and authoritative manual - from one-on-one reading methods employed by the office clairvoyant to complete stage and club mindreading routines. Nelson even reveals the real secrets of reading minds on radio and TV, as well as his own Master System of Mindreading which will convince even the most sophisticated, contemporary audience that you know their innermost thoughts. Plus, psychic tests, Hellstromism experiments, seances, spook shows, book and horoscope pitches, booking and publicity, and much more. 21 chapters, 146 pages, illustrated, including a number of humorous Nelson Hahne drawings. Now completely re-typeset, you won't find a higher quality edition of this informative, must-have mentalism resource available anywhere.
