Miscellanea By Hector Chadwick

Miscellanea is a curated collection of insights and ideas compiled from my laptop, printed and bound for the Mind Summit in 2016. This work primarily delves into the realms of theory and mentalism. If these topics don’t resonate with you, I recommend exploring other pamphlets from different magicians.

As I mention in the introduction: “it contains two tricks—only one of which you’ll ever perform—and four essays—only two of which you’ll genuinely find valuable.”

However, I address significant topics that matter to me, such as the clichéd phrases often found in magic, the excessive use of words in many mentalism performances, and how to ensure the memory of a trick remains intact. Additionally, I share the opener from my previous stage show and teach a mentalism-inspired card trick that I occasionally showcase. You can find the detailed contents logged by Denis Behr here on his excellent website.

This is a 68-page, perfect-bound A5 pamphlet, though some still insist on calling it a booklet—isn’t that amusing?
