Bruce Bernstein has spent decades creating, refining and developing some of the most devious feats in mentalism. He's become a trusted, go-to source for many of the greatest mind readers..

This book contains Bernstein's most baffling, amazing brainchildren. From commercial predictions (Eat at Joe's), to mind-numbing card miracles (Psych-Out, a revelatory 10 Card Poker Deal), to must-learn techniques (Bernstein Center Tear), and beyond.

The book outlines mysteries with the most basic of objects: slips of paper, cards, and money, as well as inexplicable feats of thought reading: predictions, mind reading feats, psychometry, utility techniques for obtaining secret information, cold reading scripts and techniques, and more. Ten new essays compliment the tricks themselves, each written specifically for this book.

First edition, second printing. Written by Bruce Bernstein. Published by Squash Publishing in 2013. 256-pages, illustrated by Tony Dunn, 7.25”x10.25”, hardcover. Introduction by Jon Stetson.

“Taken together, the variety of presentations, methods, techniques, and good advice not only make the book a valuable source of ideas for the experienced performer but also a great first book for anyone who wants to try their hand at mentalism." …David Britland
