This ebook features 20 incredible mentalism effects, many of which are staples in the repertoires of leading mentalists.

In the realm of magic, practitioners often find themselves divided: some are brilliant thinkers whose performances may lack impact, while others are charismatic entertainers who prioritize style over originality. It’s rare to encounter an artist who seamlessly blends creative thinking with a subtle presentation style, captivating audiences of both laypeople and fellow magicians alike.

Gaining insight into Basil’s methodology is enlightening. His efficient approach maximizes the impact of simple, direct concepts. Each routine in Part One showcases seven distinct applications of a principle that is likely new to you.

The beauty of this material lies in its accessibility. You won’t just admire the work of a performer few can replicate; you’ll learn and execute many of these routines to enchant and impress your audience. This is the essence of Basil Horwitz’s unique mentalism style.

Illustrated by Earle Oaks, with design and layout by Bob Gill.
