“Dale has offered up another collection of his interesting observations and odd ideas which create the chance for us to navigate our way to thoughts that might have otherwise never been.” – From the Foreword by Michael Weber

“Dale’s new work is fascinating reading for mentalists–it is about first impressions. They are always important, but this is about more than making it a good one. This is about making a person’s first impression of you an actual EFFECT… A startlingly simple idea that can’t do anything but help your reputation as a worker of the strange.” – Liam Montier

“This kind of work is very important to the modern conjurer, and I am very grateful for the chance to gain such knowledge.” – Brad Gordon

“I think people should have to sign a waiver promising to only use this for good. This has to be kept away from politicians. I find Handshake Intuition both fascinating and terrifying.” – TC Tahoe

“I’ve been pretty busy lately, but I wanted to shoot you a quick note to say how much I enjoy Hand Bluffs. It’s the special secret touches and nuances like those in your book that elevate a performance to a personal experience for the spectator. I wish there were more creators out there like you.” – Don Theo III

“Inspired and inspiring. I loved the ideas for handshakes – they turn an ordinary gesture into an extraordinary event. Really refreshing thinking.”
