This is from a Private Estate in Like New Condition.
Second Edition 1975 by Gene Grant
Three types of persons will read this book: The Dabbler, The Student, The Working Mentalist.
The Dabbler, looking for some fancy gimmick that will open up the field of Mentalism over night, will be disappointed. Not in the fact that the effects described herein are difficult to perform or require peak skill, but in their relative simplicity. Without a doubt, he will be frightened off by their boldness.
It is, then, the latter two, The Student and The Working Mentalist, to whom this book will appeal. For they will understand that in the ease and boldness of the effects lies their greatest effectiveness. They will appreciate the fact that all the effects are workable and audience tested; that all the effects have been, and some still are, used by a man who makes his living as a Public Entertainer.
Yes, here is Workable Mentalism!
