Mentalism Bible

[MagicBalls]

So what are the best books on Mentalism? Is there a Bible for Mentalists?

I'm mainly concerned with the psychological aspect of it, for doing nipple readings and such. (Some read palms, I read nipples). Not too big on the math tricks.

I just bid on Pure Effect by Derren Brown. The book is out of print so it's going for a pretty hefty price. It will be just my luck that when I try to resell it after reading it they re-release it.

Apparently this guy, among other things, got a group of people to hijack a van. Damn, if you can do that, it can't be that hard to get a skanky ho you just met to bend over, lift up her skirt, pull down her panties for you, and say, "Please, Daddy."

It seems that Brown's "Tricks of the Mind" is more what I'm looking for. I'm more interested in interjecting and applying the knowledge in an interaction than in performing magic tricks.

My sudden interest is finishing the book "Influence," paired with a recent visit to an actual psychic. I actually pretended to do some reading on a waitress today and even though she knew I was kidding it seemed to have an effect on her... now I'm hooked. Anything that can introduce vulnerability, whether it's laughter, intrigue, or both, is always good. My knee jerk reaction now is to kino when a girl laughs or is in a vulnerable moment. I find it works out perfectly and naturally.

I just bought "Completely Cold" by Kenton Knepper.

It is damn good. This book was originally suggested by Style. It is only 31 pages, but well worth the price. PM me and ill tell you a little more about it.
