Self -Working Mental Magic

An excellent book, gives you the tools and explains in great detail, how you can accomplish amazing mental/psychic feats.. If you real want to understand and educate yourself on psychic abilities then this is the book for you.. The magic works, amazes people, and you see it from the other side.. I truely suggest you get this book, if you want to learn and understand this medium.

Everything I hoped it would be

Speaking for my husband, an amateur magician, this book has been a tremendous help. It has easy to understand instructions, relatively easy tricks, but plenty of WOW power. Great for the beginner and pro alike.

Awesome!

This book is amazing. I learned 4 of the tricks in no time at all and people now think I have real mental powers like David Blaine.You could start a religion with the stuff in this book. Imagine knowing what coin someone chose or knowing what card they put in their pocket. The best trick is where you ask someone to think of any card, just THINK of one, they dont even have to take one from a pack. Then you name it...

Good Stuff

This is an excellent book for two very different reasons. First, it introduces the reader to lots of ideas in mental magic that are not available to the general population(unless they have read this book), and second, it spends time explaining the psychology behind what the 'mindreader' is doing and how it affects the audience. Many of the ideas in this book come from some of the great magicians of the past 50 years, and if nothing else, Karls' variations are well worth the price.

Gotta have it!

If you see a book written by Karl Fulves on magic that has the words Self-Working in the title then buy it. There is a wealth of knowledge in each of these books. -Diamond Jim Tyler
