Mind Magic & Mentalism For Dummies — James L. Clark (Pre-Owned Book + Original DVD)
A RARE MODERN COLLECTOR’S GEM — THE SUPPRESSED TITLE LITERALLY WITHDRAWN FROM PUBLICATION!

Why This Copy Is A True Collector’s Gem:

Make no mistake: despite the mass-market For Dummies branding, this is one of the rarest, most fiercely hunted modern magic books in existence.

Shortly after its release in 2012, the book ignited a massive firestorm of controversy. Professional performers and top mentalists were outraged that closely guarded, high-dollar secrets—the literal lifeblood of the modern mentalism community—were being exposed to the general public. Following immense legal pressure and boycotts from the magic underground, the publisher abruptly withdrew the title from publication and ordered remaining stock to be destroyed.

Because it was systematically wiped from print, surviving physical editions have become a Holy Grail for magic historians. To find a copy today is incredibly difficult; to find a copy in Fantastic Condition with the original, working DVD still intact is nearly miraculous. Most surviving copies are battered ex-library books missing their media. This is an investment-grade, complete physical edition that will only continue to appreciate in value.

About the Content:

Despite its accessible title, this is far more than a basic beginner's guide. It is a substantial, meticulously detailed manual packed with practical routines, advanced psychological techniques, staging advice, and powerful demonstrations of apparent psychic abilities.

Here is just some of what you will discover inside:
  • Mind Reading & Predictions — Reveal secret thoughts, predict spectator choices, and engineer impossible coincidences.
  • Book Tests — Master professional methods for appearing to read information directly from a spectator's mind using any text.
  • Center Tears & Billet Work — Learn the foundational, closely guarded secret techniques for intercepting secretly written information.
  • Metal Bending — Recreate the exact physical illusions used by stage psychics to bend spoons and forks using only the mind.
  • ESP & Psychic Demonstrations — Explore routines involving extrasensory perception and classic telepathy.
  • Blindfold Work — Discover the hidden methods behind apparent sightless vision and "X-ray" sight.
  • Spirit Slates & Séances — Recreate the eerie, theatrical phenomena from classic Victorian psychic entertainment.
  • Card Forces & Mental Card Magic — Explore practical, highly deceptive ways to create powerful mind-reading effects with a standard deck.
THE ORIGINAL DVD IS INCLUDED & WORKING!

The true value for collectors lies right here. Most copies found on the secondary market are heavily worn library discards missing their multimedia component. This particular copy comes complete with its original DVD featuring live video demonstrations of the effects discussed throughout the book. The disc has been fully inspected, personally tested, and is confirmed working perfectly.
