I've just released the new issue of Journal of the Mind,
which features Bryn Reynolds. He recently released The
Safwan Papers, an e-book which has been getting much acclaim
from the mentalism community, including Richard Osterlind.
To check it out, you must be a subscriber to Journal of the
Mind. See below for details.
As I wrote in the last newsletter, there will be another one
coming out in the next few days (since I'm playing
catch-up). The next newsletter will feature Paul Hallas'
Magic from the Overground, the Howard Adams books, the Tommy
Pad, and Hiro Sakai's Recipe. That should be coming out
Monday or Tuesday.
Again, if there's any product you'd like my comments on,
feel free to write. If you don't see it on my website, it's
probably because it's not available to me or there's a good
reason why I won't catalog it.
**** PRODUCT UPDATES
Other new items that will be discussed in upcoming
newsletters and/or added soon to my catalog are Thom
Bleasdale's TOMMY PAD, Hiro Sakai's RECIPE, Howard Adams
OICUFESP and MINDESPA, Tony Eye's THE WRITE STUFF, Paul
Hallas' MAGIC FROM THE OVERGROUND, Aldo Colombini's
TRI-COLOR DIVINATION, Menny Lindenfeld's PSYCHIC CREDIT
CARD, three from Dave Powell (HAUNTED HAND, INVISIBLE CARD
PUNCH, MICROWRITER), Sean Field's EXPLICIT FOOTAGE: TOME and
EXPLICIT FOOTAGE: BENZ, John Sheets' NAILED IT, Haim
Goldenberg's INSIDE THOUGHTS and MY PRECIOUS, and a bunch of
cool stuff from Craig Browning. Some of this stuff is
already on the website with comments. Some of this stuff I
will not catalog.
**** TELETHOUGHT WALLET ERRATA
Rick of Outlaw Effects reminded me about just how versatile
the SUC wallet is. So, there are things that the SUC can do
that the Telethought Wallet cannot. There is still a
function it can do that isn't mentioned in the instructions,
though. Therefore, I tweaked my comments and though are a
few changes throughout, my comments now end with:
"However, though the Telethought Wallet can do many of the
same things as the SUC, and since the SUC is currently
unavailable, it should be no surprise that I recommend this
wallet for those who don't have a SUC wallet or those who
are intrigued by the special material that makes this
wallet unique."
**** JACK TILLER'S DUET & SEXTET
Duet is now available. Since I've been working with Jack
and am familiar with Duet, I've already commented on it
(though I do admit it was biased. His next work, Sextet,
features long-distance mindreading. I hope to finalize his
work this weekend. We're hoping it will be available for
Mindvention.
**** MINDVENTION
Don't forget that November 9-11 is the 2008 Mindvention at
the Palace Station in Las Vegas. Luke Jermay, Marc
Spelmann, Docc Hilford, Christopher Taylor, Paul Vigil, Mark
Strivings, Lior Manor, Rick Maue, Paul Draper, and some guy
who uses his first, deliberately-misspelled first name to
impress people. (Yeah, that's me, of course). It's still
not to late to make reservations and join in the fun. If
you're interested, here's the link.

BOB CASSIDY
21ST CENTURY Q&A
Available at:
http://www.sangomahealer.com/performersonly.html
THE BLURB:
The Question Answering Act - or "Audience Reading" as it is
more commonly called today - has always been the major
effect in mentalism.
Q&A, while arguably the most powerful and memorable effect
in mentalism, is rarely seen today because it does not fit
into the "body language/ perceptionist" persona and style -
its only explanations would appear to be pure mind reading
or, as it was originally presented, communication with the
spirits.
Here, in this e-text for the experienced mentalist - is a
complete collection of original modern methods and, more
importantly - PRESENTATIONS - for this classic routine.
In 21st Century Q&A you will find presentations that suit
the modern performing persona and methods that defy
detection. And, as in all of my routines, the emphasis is on
subtlety rather than electronics, secret assistants, etc.
MY COMMENTS:
Before we get into the review of the book, please note that
this not available through Bob Cassidy. Jerome Finley is
handling the sales for Bob, so you can be sure that you'll
definitely get the e-book quite soon, rather than waiting
months to years for Bob to finish the book. Part of the
problem is the long wait purchasers have and that builds
expectations. For this book, there is no long wait. Also,
if you've already paid Bob for the book, contact Jerome and
he'll take care of you. Okay, now let's get to my comments
on the e-book.
This is a 25 page e-book that covers Cassidy's handling of
the classic Q&A routine as a complete act. Let me note
something very important: this is for experienced
mentalists only and especially for those familiar with many
of Bob's other works. In fact, one could say that this a
sequel to Hanussen Proof. You don't need to have it, but
the information here makes much more sense if you've read
it.
Also, The Hanussen Proof makes use of a special prop that
Bob uses for this act. If you don't have the prop, the
instructions on how to make it are included. Though the
handling will have to be a bit different, you can use
Richard Osterlind's Final Answer prop as an alternative.
This is my suggestion and not Bob's.
Other works by Bob are referenced, too. The Scorpio's
Message, George Anderson's Dynamite Mentalism, Psychometry
principles, Fourth Dimensional Telepathy, and other standard
mentalism techniques are used in the act. Some are
explained; some not. Also, the act is outlined and key
elements are explained. An act like this, though, requires
a lot of experience, knowledge, and performance charisma.
As I said, the experienced mentalist will not have a problem
with this.
Additionally, Bob has included an incredibly fascinating
history and evolution of the Q&A act. To me, that's just as
valuable as anything else in this book. And, for those who
aren't a fan of Plan 9 From Outer Space (rated by some as
the worst movie ever made), there is a wonderful tribute to
the Amazing Criswell, a very popular psychic from the 50s
and 60s. You'll have to read the e-book to find out the
connection.
Whether or not you feel this e-book is of value will depend
entirely on your perspective, and unfortunately that may be
an issue with this. Fans of Bob Cassidy who have most of
his work, if not all, especially his e-books, may feel
disappointed because much of this book is simply a
re-hashing of material from his older releases. This is
true and my first reaction after reading this was that it
should've been an extra chapter in The Hanussen Proof, or
some other book.
On the other hand, I don't think there's any question that
this manuscript's purpose is to describe an act that is
certainly a professional act. This is an act that's well
worth the money, regardless of whether you'll perform it or
not. One can certainly compare the act to Docc Hilford's
QuestA, another Q&A act which relies on using multiple
methods so as to make it difficult for the savvy audience
member to figure things out. Even QuestA didn't go into
great details about the techniques and it assumed that the
purchaser was a knowledgeable mentalist.
If you are an experienced mentalist and NOT familiar with
Bob Cassidy (and you should be, so hop to it and fill in
your library), then this work will be most invaluable, but
also frustrating as you'll definitely need to get other
works by Bob, such as The Artful Mentalism of Bob Cassidy
(which I feel is a truly important book for ANY mentalist to
have, anyway).
Bob Cassidy is one of the few whose works I'll buy sight
unseen and am always intrigued by them. Once again let me
state that this is for experienced mentalists only and
especially for those familiar with many of Bob's other
works. If you don't have The Hanussen Proof, I highly
recommend getting that. As to this e-book, after many
years without fresh material from Bob, I would've liked
to see a book filled with ideas not already published
elsewhere, but I highly respect and recommend what was
published here and am certainly glad I purchased it.

MAG-EYE MOVE REVISITED
Suggested Retail Price: $25
Available at:
http://www.sangomahealer.com/performersonly.html
THE BLURB:
In 1981 Al Mann devised a billet tear he called the
"Mag-Eye" move. He enthusiastically demonstrated it for me
and gave me a copy of the manuscript, 'Phantagraphs' in
which he had first described it.
Over the years I've often been asked about my handling of
the move and the modification and routine I actually showed
him over 20 years ago. Here it is.
MY COMMENTS:
Before we get into the review of the book, please note that
this not available through Bob Cassidy. Jerome Finley is
handling the sales for Bob, so you can be sure that you'll
definitely get the e-book quite soon, rather than waiting
months to years for Bob to finish the book. Part of the
problem is the long wait purchasers have and that builds
expectations. For this book, there is no long wait. Also,
if you've already paid Bob for the book, contact Jerome and
he'll take care of you. Okay, now let's get to my comments
on the e-book.
This is a 7 page e-book that covers Bob's handling of the
Mag-Eye Move that Al Mann presented in one of his booklets.
As usual, Bob's thinking is first-rate and this is a move
that all mentalists can add to their knowledge. It's quite
versatile.
Bob describes it a cross between an instant access center
tear and Millard Longman's Acidus Novus, but it's not really
either of those. The manuscript mentions tearing a 3"x5"
sheet of pulp paper in half and using that. These pads are
available from Wal-Mart (at least, here in the United
States). A piece of information is written on the paper and
it's torn up. The performer then reveals the information.
Bob Cassidy is one of the few whose works I buy sight unseen
and am always intrigued by them. Definitely, this is
recommended for the working performer.

RON MARTIN
PALM READER'S NOTEBOOK

THE BLURB:
A Multi-Faceted Approach to Palm Readings
The Classic Text on Palm Readings
Here's the scoop on Ron's PALM READER'S NOTEBOOK: it is, in
this not-so-humble writer's opinion, the best book for palm
readers -- bar none. I say this purely from personal
experience, having.compiled a huge library on palmistry
texts in my search for the "perfect" book on the subject.
And despite the fact that there are many fine books out
there on the subject, Ron's book is the one that finally
convinced me, after several years of searching, that
palmistry was probably the best -- and most practical --
form of reading out there.
This book is perhaps the most significant text on palm
reading to ever be published for the professional community.
Take a look at a partial listing of contents:
• A Very Quick Way To Learn To Read Palms • Two Lectures on
Hands • The Pure Science Stuff • General Hand Shapes • Nails
Clues • Hand Body Language • Touch, Rub & Retouch (Braille
Palmistry) • Table Set Up • "Private" Readings • Nurses
Lines • Heart Line • The Simian Line And The Quadrangle •
Heart Line & Relationships • A Heart Line Hit • Assigning
Dates On The Heart Line • Girdle Of Venus • Head Line • The
Mount Of Neptune • Writer's Fork • Life Line • Headache Line
• Health, Generally • Left Hand Life Line • Bracelets •
Worry Lines • Thumb/ Pollex • More Lines • Fame Line •
Escape Lines • Money • Travel Lines • Loop Of Humor •
Survivor's Bump • Religious/ Philosophic Finger •
Philosopher's Hands • Marriage Lines • Children's Lines •
Fear • Getting Them Out Of The Chair • Ethics • The Ken
System • A Couple Rune Variations • The Aura Research
Project • Putting It All Together
Easily the only book on palm reading you'll ever need, there
is a TON of information in this book, and with no fluff or
filler whatsoever.
"But Wait, There's More..."
If all the PALM READER'S NOTEBOOK did was teach you how to
give dynamite palm readings (which it certainly does), it
would be worth every penny, and then some. But like many of
his other books (one title -- CASUAL LITTLE MIRACLES,
co-authored with Larry Baukin -- springs to mind), Ron
includes a whole lot more... including how to incorporate
handwriting analysis, numerology, psychometry, and runes
into your palm readings, allowing you to tailor your
readings for practically any occasion... from short,
walkaround appearances to full-length readings suitable for
psychic fairs or office work.
If you've ever wanted to add palmistry to your arsenal, but
were put off by its 'occult' associations, Ron will show you
how to present it in the light of modern science, making it
perhaps one of the soundest of all available systems for
readings. Ron's very logical explanation of how palmistry
works was actually the basis for the workshops that I
presented for many years, and even skeptics I've read for
have invariably nodded their heads and said, "That makes a
lot of sense!".
What is The KEN System PLUS?
At the heart of Ron's flexible approach to palm readings is
the "KEN System PLUS", his expanded version of the
ground-breaking system popularized by Ken de Courcy many
years ago. As good as the original KEN System was, Ron takes
it to a whole new level, allowing you to add layer upon
layer of material that you will be able to remember and
describe -- for each client -- even if you see them years
later! Imagine what an impression that will make, and how it
will cement your reputation as "the real thing"... if that's
what you're going for, of course. If you use only a couple
of Ron's ideas, your readings will be fuller, more
'psychic,' and more individualized and personal for each
client.
Bigger . . . Better ... And Now On CD!
The original PALM READER'S NOTEBOOK, as it was published 15
years ago, was a massive book, especially when you consider
some of the exceedingly thin manuscripts that pass for
"books" these days. And, as good as the original was (and
make no mistake about it, the original is still way beyond
anything like it), this new edition is even better.
For starters, Ron has updated and expanded what was already
a very solid textbook on the subject of readings to an even
bigger (238 pages) and better step-by-step course on how to
do it right.
There's also a completely new section on handwriting
analysis which, if you think about it, is a no-brainer
addition to help round out your full-length readings.
If you're looking for scripting ideas for your readings,
you'll find tons of them in here -- page after page of
real-world lines that Ron has honed for maximum impact over
the course of his 20+ years as a professional reader. Now,
we're not suggesting that you actually memorize any of these
lines and deliver them verbatim, but it sure is nice to see
how someone with Ron's years of experience handles the
issues that will inevitably come up in your own readings.
Add to all of the above the fact that an authorized edition
of the PALM READER'S NOTEBOOK has been next-to-impossible to
obtain for some time now (although there have been plenty of
unauthorized versions -- but don't get me started on that
aspect of the business). I've actually lost count of the
number of requests we've received for this release, and now
you can add it to your library, secure in the knowledge that
you're dealing with the exclusive distributor of the
author's work.
The Search Is On
The new and improved PALM READER'S NOTEBOOK is now available
exclusively in digital form as an Adobe PDF e-book, offering
a benefit that anyone who has the TAROT READER'S NOTEBOOK in
digital form will recognize immediately. . . searchability!
So if you want to find all of the references to the Heart
Line, for example, all you have to do is enter the words
"heart line"into the Search field, and Adobe Reader lists
all occurances of the word, with the surrounding context as
well. Not only is this an incredible time-saver, but it
allows you to study any aspect of palmistry in the book
without worrying that you're overlooking a key element.
Of course, some people prefer the printed page over the
computer screen, and there's nothing to prevent them from
printing out some or even all of the book. Luckily, it's
easy to print an Adobe document, either from your own
computer's printer or your nearest print/copy shop.
Bonuses? Of Course.
Included on the PALM READER'S NOTEBOOK CD are 7 bonus files:
(1) AURA HANDOUT #1: With this handout, each client gets a
keepsake that illustrates their own personal aura, as you
see and interpret it. Designed for use in readings that are
table-based (psychic fair or office work, for example), two
versions are included on the CD -- Adobe PDF and Microsoft
Word (so you can customize it to your heart's content,
including your contact info and bio).
(2) AURA HANDOUT #2: This is basically the same handout as
AURA HANDOUT #1, but sized smaller so it's easier to use for
walkaround and impromptu work. Like AURA HANDOUT #1, both
PDF and Microsoft Word versions are included on the CD.
(3) KEN SYSTEM CUE SHEET: We've condensed much of the
information Ron covers in the book into a single page that
is invaluable for those moments when you're looking for the
right thing to say. Like the AURA HANDOUTS, both PDF and
Microsoft Word versions are included, so as you develop your
own interpretations, you can add them to the cue sheet!
(4) RON MARTIN'S PALMISTRY CHART: Although the book includes
a full-page chart to help you learn all of the various lines
and features of the palm, we thought it would be even more
helpful if we included a free-standing chart that could be
used side-by-side with each page as you study. You could
even display this on your table, and use it as a
"hide-in-plain-sight" cue sheet, so you don't forget which
lines you want to cover in each reading.
MY COMMENTS:
For those who want to get into Palm Readings, this is a
complete, comprehensive course that makes it very easy to
learn and begin doing palm readings. The blurb is quite
accurate in what is contained, though it doesn't mention
that there is a pleasant surprise that Ron adds a touch of
handwriting analysis to his palm readings. There is a
wonderful chapter on the basics of graphology, just enough
to serve as an appetizer to the main course, the palm
reading itself.

SCOTT GROSSBERG
BAUTA
JMOM Price: $81
Suggested Retail Price: $90
THE BLURB:
Imagine, as a psychic entertainer or mentalist, being able
to give precise and eerily accurate "readings" to people
throughout your performances. Imagine, as you perform an
effect, noticing a person's hands, and giving them an
on-the-spot reading that is based on solid principles rather
than cold reading ruses. Imagine, as a mystery performer,
being able to offer "readings" as an adjunct to your stage
performances.
In this book, Scott delivers some tools that will
dramatically and successfully change your Tarot readings,
palm readings, personality analyses, and mentalism
performances, in general. Scott uses some of these same
techniques in his "Thinking Magically" seminars because the
concepts you will be learning go far beyond the confines of
a mere performance.
These tools have been used in corporate boardrooms,
university classrooms, on cruise ships, and around the
world. They are also written about in his book "The Mask of
Tarot" which is being released for the new age public, This
can help give YOU as a reader/performer as much credibility
as possible. The principles presented here are new for the
Tarot community and you can instantly refer the curious to
popular booksellers, like Amazon, and, in so doing, your
clients can learn just a little more about your cutting-edge
skills, but not, of course, the secrets found behind THIS
mask.
The basic Hiding Places system is a diabolically clever
technique where the client provides you with all the real
information. That is why we say it turns Cold Reading into
Hot Reading, where you are literally handed all the inside
info by your client!
This unique book offers many Special Bonuses for purchasers.
The original purchaser of this book is eligible to purchase
Scott's book "The Mask of Tarot." Directly from the
publisher while supplies last, to be used for Back Of Room
sales, and/or as a text should you wish to teach the basics
of how you will read for those you entertain. This first
edition is limited to 500 copies, signed and numbered. It
includes several worksheets that you can use in readings and
when teaching. It includes Scott's "Pocket Palm Reader"
camera ready art work; this is a hand out and tic sheet that
can be used as a fast reference for palm reading or simply
allow your audience to follow along when doing group
readings. This book also includes 2 Audio Cd's!
CD 1 discusses memory queues to make the learning of this
sophisticated material easier. There is discussion of the
background of the Hiding Places system. Scott begins by
setting up some mutual outcomes for the cds and where you
will go throughout them. There is much more expansion of
ideas only touched on in the text and includes a mini Tarot
workshop which teaches exactly how Scott uses this system.
Scott also explores how the technique can be used with
palmistry, personality profiles, ESP symbols and much more!
Scott goes into detail on the "alchemy of human needs" from
the book and discusses using these systems in group readings
settings.
CD 2 goes deeper into the actual process of doing a reading
and has several demo readings. You will learn about using
the techniques in group readings, small sessions, corporate
lectures and more. Scott touches on using an Internal Tarot
system, doing readings without using a real deck. This
recording goes into detailed discussion and exploration of
the sample readings from the book. Palm Reading is discussed
as it relates to the Hiding Places system. Scott talks about
his Pocket Palm Reader TM , the artwork for which is
provided as a free bonus with this book. For those who
prefer to do things other than Palms, Tarot or the like,
Scott offers a system of ESP Symbol Readings that also flows
seamlessly into the rest of the Bauta concept.
So- you receive: The Signed, numbered, hard cover, dust
jacketed, 180+ page book. 2 audio Cd's featuring the author
teaching you further details on the techniques, special
secrets and sample readings to help you learn. Purchase
rights for Scott's publicly released Tarot book to be used
for back of room sales. Art work and reproduction rights for
Scott's Pocket Palm Reader (For your personal use). This is
a system that can and WILL make you money and help you
improve your skills many times over. It is not a free ride,
or a gimmick that you will use "with no skill 5 minutes
after reading" and the work you put in to it WILL be worth
it!
I will end with a small warning that this book is NOT for
the beginning student. If you are fairly new to doing
readings as part of your mentalism presentations, or are
trying to learn "cold reading" this is not a good place to
begin by itself. On another hand, in reading it I was struck
that there ARE indeed many tools that I think all beginners
SHOULD have and be exposed to, but if you are new I
recommend getting some more basic texts in addition to this
one. As your experience grows, you will find new layers of
understanding unlock and illuminate within this text. I
would consider this a college level equivalent text!
"For those who don't know my (Dean, the human who owns
Leaping Lizards and helps the lizards with the typing.)
background is extensively as a reader. Tarot, Palms, you
name it. I don't often come across a book for psychic
entertainers on the subject of readings that makes me go
wow. This book made me go WOW! Please Make Sure You Read The
Warning!
Richard Webster, in his Foreword to this book, says "It's a
wonderful feeling to start reading a book on a favorite
subject and immediately know you're going to learn valuable
information." I couldn't put it better. I also agree 100%
that this book gave me that same experience!
Scott Grossberg, inventor of "Mindcast" and experienced
performer and reader has written this master class with the
unusual title, "Bauta." A bauta is mask worn in long gone
days of Venice to disguise the identity, but allow one to
socialize and frolic with freedom and total anonymity. A
member of royalty could party bawdily with a peasant or a
wash woman could bed a duke with total freedom. It was an
equalizer in a way. Herein, Scott teaches you how to remove
the masks of your client/spectators during a reading,
quickly and easily."
- Dean Montalbano
MY COMMENTS:
By far, this is one of the most intriguing concepts for
reading Tarot cards that I've seen, although it's not just
for Tarot cards. At first glance, there are a lot of charts
in the book and that makes it seem overwhelming, but the
charts merely provide illustrations to make it easier to
follow, not complicated. And the technique is quite easy to
understand. But that doesn't mean that this system is one
that someone unfamiliar with Tarot can pick up and use
easily. Personally, I'm not an experienced Tarot reader, so
I wouldn't be able to use this effectively right away. I do
know enough, though, to understand the technique easily and,
had I more experience, could begin to use it quite
effectively.
A bauta is a Venetian mask and the technique revolves around
being to identify which masks people wear. The masks
correlate to the Tarot cards, much the way the do to
positions in a spread and have very definite relationships
to other masks. There are four different types of masks.
What Scott explains is how to identify one of these masks
and then you know what the other three are. And it is, as
you might expect, quite accurate. One must be familiar with
the meanings of the Tarot to identify the cards and their
meanings and the relationships between them.
As the blurb says, this is NOT a system for beginners. You
must already be a student of the Tarot in order to use this
and fully understand it. If you're a beginner looking for a
good system to begin with, I'd recommend Enrique Enriquez'
THE INVISIBLE TAROT. Once you get comfortable with that,
then study this. That's assuming, of course, it's still
available.
One more thing, the blurb stresses, and I'll repeat it, that
Bauta covers others type of readings, including palm
reading. So you can certainly adapt this technique to other
readings as Scott explains, which this book attractive to
those who do other types of readings besides Tarot.
Another very nice part of this package is the enclosed CDs.
The blurb explains what's on there and that, on them, Scott
gives sample readings, additional info, and art work and
reproduction rights. This really is a very complete and
impressive package for the serious reader. This is a
limited edition, so if you're at all interested in this, I'd
not wait much longer to order it.
