THE BLURB:
Top-selling books, "Sleight of Mind" and "Geist" were
milestone titles for every mentalist who has an interest in
using NLP, suggestion and Hypnosis in their performances.
Now authors Martin Nyrup and Ian Harling have revised both
books and combined them with over a hundred new pages of
additional material. Harling & Nyrup's writing is honest,
entertaining and to the point, pulling no punches about what
works and what does not in the world of psychological
manipulation.
An absolute goldmine of ideas on performance and the
development of original material, containing over 25
original effects and hypnotic routines, complete with
detailed scripting, "Mischief" can not be missed.
"Mischief" also brings stage-craft into use in daily life,
and shows how to interact successfully with others - how to
appear more likeable, confident and perceptive: on- and
off-stage, with remarkable ease.
Pages: 438 - Softbound
MY COMMENTS:
I'm not an expert on "NLP, suggestion and Hypnosis," but the
original books (SLEIGHT OF MIND and GEIST) had some very
interesting and useful material in it. My one concern with
this book is that it's sort of like an encyclopedia. It
seems to touch on everything and briefly, but there are not
enough examples and discussions for anyone to really master
these techniques. One can certainly add a few touches and
there are some good routines that you can use. But if one
really wants to learn the art of NLP, suggestion, and
hypnosis, I'd recommend other sources for more serious
study. Still, an overview of this magnitude is still useful
and the price is quite reasonable. This is a huge, heavy,
438 page softbound book, approximately 8.5" x 11".
By the way, I should note that the authors state in the
beginning of the book that if you have the two previous
books, it's probably not worth it to get this volume just to
get the small amount of added material.
