Psychological Subtleties by Banachek

Banachek first gained national recognition as one of two teenage “psychics” validated by the Parapsychology Department at Washington University during Randi’s “Project Alpha” experiment. Since then, he has achieved remarkable feats, including being buried alive on national television and catching bullets in his teeth using his own techniques, which he later shared with Penn & Teller. As one of the most in-demand performers in both college and corporate events, Banachek’s latest book unveils the secrets behind his success: psychological subtleties that elevate “mental magic” to “psychic entertainment.” Most effects require no prior preparation and can be executed spontaneously. Those familiar with Banachek’s previous works will eagerly add this volume to their collection.
