A stage mentalist often relies on tricks, plants and words, though the amazing Derren Brown has blown the lid off of psychological mind bending principles.

What is revealed on every page of this book adds to this new tradition of pure skill, which cannot be faked or duplicated, and yet is so simple it is a joy to both show and learn.

After just five minutes of reading the first few pages of this book you will have the skills to memorize and recall a list of 10 items forwards, backwards, or at random, and with very little practice be able to do so in under 20 seconds.

But that's not all, you will soon be able to move on to memorize

100's and then 1000's of pieces of information

- whether it be the patter to a new trick, complex moves or the order of the tricks to your stage performance and no longer have to refer to written notes. Perhaps even the memorization of a deck of cards. Or even more! You can even develop this to card counting ... - the bain of every casino.

Look at what you will be able to do...

- Study and learn quicker

- Read a book JUST ONCE and be able to recall the text months, even years later

- Remember important key dates

- Memorize incredibly long strings of numbers

- Memorize a deck of cards - and learn ideas for magic tricks using this knowledge

- Remember complex directions given to you by complete strangers

Once you have become familiar with all of these techniques you will be able to choose the most appropriate for the job in hand and amaze those watching.
