It wasn't until my friend, Paul Romhany, told me I had to read ,b\u0026gt;\"Through the Eyes of Hanussen \u0026amp; Messing\" that I ordered it. I'm very glad I did. I've read it again twice over the last few days. It's an incredible book, and one I'll treasure and refer to often. In this unputdownable book, Helmuth Grunewald discusses the techniques and effects that Hanussen and Messing used, and then explains how they might have done them. He covers contact mind reading, psychic readings, Q \u0026amp; A, and hypnosis, and shows how they can all be done with no trickery whatsoever. I got more than my money's worth from just one sentence on page 43, but there's gold in every page.

I've always felt both stories would make a great movie because of the times they lived and the way they performed. The author takes a strong view, and one that I totally agree with, of how mentalism has gone from being 'mentalism' or mind-reading to actually some type of psychological babble that seems to be popular at the moment. By studying Hanussen and Messing you will find out what real mentalism should look like. Within these pages you will not only learn some of the guarded secrets, but also give a refreshing approach to mentalism, one that I think many of the younger performers will find interesting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHelmuth makes a bold statement saying you don't need all the electronic gadgets our there to do impossible mentalism, and again he hits the nail on the head. This might be another eye opening statement for younger readers but it's absolutely true. The best mentalists in the world don't need all the gimmicks and gadgets that flow through pages on websites today. If you can do contact mind-reading and perfect it, as Hanussen and Messing both did, then you will save yourself thousands of dollars AND be able to do this anytime and anywhere. There is also a fantastic Q\u0026amp;A in this book which is one of the best I've read.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book will teach you the real secrets to both of these legendary performers, which has to do more with their acting skills, the stage, stories told about them, and skills. You will learn the real secret to great hypnotism, and the author really encourages you to delve deeper in to what it really means. I love this little sentence from the book, \u003ci\u003e\"Get training and then practice, practice, practice! Read as much as you can and become an expert. This is one of the steps to become a real mentalist.\"\u003c\/i\u003e The idea of being a real mentalist is the entire tone of this book and is so refreshing to read. Both Hanussen and Messing, were excellent hypnotists. Hanussen would often refer to hypnotism in his work, but Messing never did but he certainly used the tools to achieve the impossible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is so much to learn from this book. It is on the higher end but it is intended for the serious student or performer who wants something different and unique. I think this book would be a real eye opener for many and hopefully inspire readers to re-look at what mentalism was and could be again. More and more mentalists today say they have no psychic abilities and they are doing it psychologically. I love this line from the book on the chapter READINGS, \u003ci\u003e\"In my opinion it makes no sense to give readings unless your name is Hannibal Lecter or Sherlock Holmes.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book has awakened my concept of mentalism and I hope somebody takes this and runs with it - because it could very easily be something 'new' to a new generation that has grown up with being told how things are done. It has also awakened my interest in both of these famous performers and I am now on the search for more information.\u003cbr\u003e - \u003cb\u003ePaul Romhany\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Steven's Magic Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39638654681181,"sku":"THROUGHTHEEYES-69533","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1120\/5962\/products\/69533-full.png?v=1711252688"},{"product_id":"david-copperfields-history-of-magic-by-david-copperfield-richard-wiseman-and-david-britland-book","title":"David Copperfield's History of Magic by David Copperfield, Richard Wiseman and David Britland - Book","description":"An illustrated, illuminating insight into the world of illusion from the world's greatest and most successful magician, capturing its audacious and inventive practitioners, and showcasing the art form's most famous artifacts housed at David Copperfield's secret museum. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this personal journey through a unique and remarkable performing art, David Copperfield profiles twenty-eight of the world's most groundbreaking magicians.

From a list of more than 20 songs, your helper makes a completely fair and random choice - but one that you are very easily able to divine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBasic Instinct\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this stage\/cabaret mind-reading routine, your helpers are shown lists of some of the best - and worst - people from history. Everyone from Vlad the Impaler to Nelson Mandela.  Four helpers make a free choice of a 'bad' person while a fifth chooses someone more noble. Every choice is a free one and, having written them down, they are sealed in envelopes (handed out by an audience member, not you) which are then mixed up. The helper who chose the 'good' person now chooses one of the five envelopes, while you write something down on your pad. Not only do they somehow locate their own choice, you now turn your pad around to show that you have successfully read their mind and knew who they would choose.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe No Memory Diary Trick\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet another variation on a well-known theme. A date in a diary is chosen, and the card on that date remembered. Your helper removes their chosen card from the deck - but in their imagination only. When the deck is shown again, their card is the only one missing. They then mime returning their card to the deck and, when spread again, their card is miraculously back. This trick was originally published in \u003ci\u003eThe Magic Circular\u003c\/i\u003e and came about after James had corresponded with the late, great Simon Aronson who kindly gave permission to use one of his fabulous ideas in it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Wife Always Knows\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA light-hearted routine in which a wife finds her husband's freely chosen card, despite him trying to hide it. The trick can be adapted for other 'couples' (parent\/child; teacher\/pupil etc) and demonstrates not only the value of introducing humour into magic, but also the importance of making the magic itself have a reason for being performed. Again, Mark Elsdon was kind enough to say that, \u003ci\u003e'I can imagine at the right moment, it would be a killer.

Drawing on the latest psychological, neurological, and philosophical research, he suggests that misdirection is at the heart of all magic tricks, and he offers a scientific theory of misdirection. He explores, among other topics, our propensity for magical thinking, the malleability of our perceptual experiences, forgetting and misremembering, free will and mind control, and how magic is applied outside entertainment-the use of illusion in human-computer interaction, politics, warfare, and elsewhere. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe may be surprised to learn how little of the world we actually perceive, how little we can trust what we see and remember, and how little we are in charge of our thoughts and actions.

From dressing rooms across America, John learned to stay invisible among other acts while his parents performed, making friends with janitors, night watchmen, elevator operators, and cooks who gave him leftover tortes and parfaits. They were as exotic to him as the Master of Deception was to them. When they were in one place long enough for John to attend to school he was instructed to follow the other kids and just sit down at a desk. Before they knew who John was, his family would be gone. But even at home (in their trailer), his father remained aloof and unknowable. \u003ci\u003e\"Growing up confined to the back seat had allowed me to study every wave of my father's hair, the arch of his ears, the stubble on his jaw, but nothing of what was beneath.
