In 2003, Caleb Strange embarked on a journey to create a book that would redefine mentalism. After nearly four years of dedication, The Garden of the Strange emerged as a remarkable achievement.

This elegantly crafted book showcases Mr. Strange’s unique approach, blending innovative concepts with captivating presentations. Featuring twenty original routines and additional pocket variations, this work is essential for mentalists, bizarrists, and table-hoppers alike.

Beyond its engaging effects, The Garden of the Strange offers invaluable insights for performers. Within its comprehensive notes, readers will discover a wealth of powerful yet often overlooked techniques—linguistic, literary, and theatrical—that enhance the impact of their performances.

Ultimately, The Garden of the Strange is a fresh and exhilarating exploration of the impossible. It has been hailed as ‘the most inspiring book of magic I have yet read.’
