Alan Jones - Mostly Mental
PDF
The title of this ebook says it all really. It's 'mostly mental' and as such focuses on the performance of psychological illusion. It's not an ebook full of tricks and new methods, but a series of reflections and thoughts which include sections on NLP, Hypnosis, Linguistic Ambiguity, Performance Analysis, RAW Mentalism (Random Acts of Wonder) and so on. Of course there are some effects within the two-hundred or so pages and they are all drawn from Alan's working repertoire.
"I see your work as an asset to many sincere performers. Your approach is not for the mildly curious, nor should it be. Congratulations on all your successes and many more." - Kenton Knepper
"I really enjoyed reading your book. The first card effect is Gangbusters. The Theory is Great Too" - Jeff McBride
"Alan Jones presents a fascinating lecture giving valuable ideas about magic and performance relating to his interests and training in NLP and education. Alan's presentation is humorous, eye opening and well worth every magician's attention. I thoroughly enjoyed it." - Eugene Burger
