#BOB CASSIDY FUNDAMENTALS HOW TO#
He is damn funny and this shows you how to present the simplest of routines yet still get a standing ovation.) He is a wonderful performer and even if you dont do mentalism, its still a wonderful DVD. Educating Archer (i know its not the best of DVDs, but I fell in love with Archer's material. This teaches you some basic cold reading and also how to set a routine.) Psychological Subtleties (not exactly pure gold, but still pretty interesting) Not as hard core as pure psychological stuff) Mind Mysteries (same as PSI, all tricks) He has 1 DVD of the set which teaches purely Muscle Reading, so thats pretty cool) Skullduggery (really advanced stuff but really "enlightened" me) modern style i guess, hes okay), Banachek, Richard Osterlind, Max Maven, Bob Cassidy Luke Jermay, Corinda, Derren Brown, Alvo (hes more of a. Although that stuff works, you reallly want to look into what it really goes into, the realms of mentalism. Its not just 22 Blows to the Head sankey stuff. You needa learn as much as possible about it first then trying it out. Osterlinds MM 1, Max Maven's Nothing and Andy Nyman's get Nyman all have a complete act contained but also the reasoning as to why they do certian effects with a certian method. That is my new favourite DVD (at the moment) because in the effects have some sort of pseudo-real psychology.ĮDIT: some really good work on actually building a routine is Banachek's prethoughts it is like $10 and it is the exact routine that he has used. The DVD contains a lot of the work on the book but with a little bit of extra thoughs on it. One thing that I have not seen talked about on here is Looch's DVD or book. Sankey's DVD is nice there are some really good piece's on it however there are a lot of things that i do not see myself using, but there is a lot of nice work on mentalism with playing cards. A lot of the big names (Osterlind, Maven, Banachek all have amazing DVD's out through L&L) There is a lot of nice things over at Alakazam aswell. An alternitve is Dee Christopher's beautiful Shillouite. EI is great I dont know of anyone that would say otherwise.
