Mind Mysteries Guidebook 5

THE BLURB:
In an unprecedented event, Richard Osterlind has revisited
his hugely successful Mind Mysteries video series and is
writing definitive guide books that exponentially enrich the
material presented in it.

In this fifth guide book, Richard, after a two year hiatus,
resumes his work on the analysis of the Mind Mysteries video
series. The current volume continues his work on creations
such as the Ultra Board, the Stainless Steel Blindfold, the
Very Modern Mindreader and others. In addition to his
insights on these classics, the bonus material includes:

    * NASCAR Inside the Fold
    * Swami Under the Nose
    * Ultra Add-a-Number
    * A Gem for the SOS Bag
    * Final Two-Faced Epic Routine

Richard has taken his fifth Guide Book a step further. It is
subtitled "Between the Lines" and is structured in a way
similar to his best-selling book, Mystique. Within these
pages, you will find important concepts, theories and other
practical applications well suited for other mentalism
routines as well as theatrical knowledge in general. There
is a wealth of knowledge is these "sub thoughts" alone.

Exceeding the length of the last Guide Book by some 50
pages, Mind Mysteries Volume 5 contains some of Richard's
most exciting creations and showcases his original thinking.
This guide book will give you even greater insight as to
what makes these effects so powerful and how you put that
kind of power into your own act.

"Richard has given his heart and soul with the Mind
Mysteries series, and what we are witnessing as we watch is
a lifetime of work, thoughts and ideas, trial and error,
hours, days, months and years of rehearsal and refinement."
-from the Foreword by Marc Spelmann

MY COMMENTS:
This is the must-have companion to Volume 5 of Richard
Osterlind's Mind Mysteries, Too, which is a must-have DVD
series for mentalists. There's more discussions, more tips,
more invaluable instruction, and more updates to the
routines presented on his classic DVD. Yep, I said the
same thing about the other volumes, but that's because it's
no different and no less invaluable.

This edition features discussions on the Stainless Steel
Blindfold, Inside the Fold, and The Very Modern Mindreader.
There is some bonus material which is further thoughts and
presentations on Inside the Fold, Add-A-Number, the S.O.S.
Bag, and Two-Faced Epic.

Given what I said, it's kind of redundant to say that I
highly recommend this. On the other hand, I'm not sure I
can say this enough (and I wish others who've released DVDs
would produce companion essays!).
