"Theatre of the Mind" is out of print, I have tried hard to get my hand of a coby.
But according to editor Stephen Minch, it will be reprinted in march. A book well worth getting if you are into mentalism. Peo

I finally said: "What the he**" and bought a used copy here on the Café. WOW!!! What a book!!! It is well laid out, very informative and very entertaining. It is very easy to read and to follow the effects and routines that Barrie lays out.
This is very STRONG PRACTICAL magic. If you can't find at least five effects in the book that will become your favorites and which you instantly would want to add to your repertoire, well then, IMHO, you aren't really trying very hard or seriously reading this book It immediately became one of my all-time favorite mentalism (and magic) books. If you cannot find a used copy on this site, it is well worth the wait for the republication in March.

I agree with Turk. If you can't find a second hand copy, wait until March. You won't regret it.
While you are waiting go out and buy yourself a Scrabble set. There is an effect in the book that will require Scrabble letters and you will kick yourself if you havent got the letters ready to practise with. This effect, amongst many others, will blow you away. |

I think it's still available from MagicBox here in the UK:

For those of you able to attend the MagiFest here in Columbus this weekend, Barry will be here and will be lecturing. I'm sure he will have a few copies.
I love the book and it is still in my top three all time best books I have every read and I do very little mentalism in my show. Barry is very creative. |

Have you tried contacting Barrie directly? I believe he may have some available.

It also shows up on eBay regularly, and curiously there are not usually a lot of bidders for it.

I just recieved mine today from Denny Lee. (I think he might have one left)
I have only had a brief flick and I'm already drooling! LOL! There really is so much great stuff in here guys. Stunning mentalism and some incredibly strong magic. |

As Xavier suggested, many dealers still have copies of Barrie's great book sitting on their shelves.
Send out a few e-mails to the dealers and I believe you will have a flurry of positive responses. Does anyone know if the soon to be released March 2004 will have different or added conted? I suppose it will have a new introduction at the very least. Is Richard Barrie's show, in front of a live audience, available on VHS?

I picked up a copy at Magifest. Wow! Lot's of great material, but what's even better is the effort Barrie takes to show the presentation involved in the effects.
He and his wife are such nice people, too. He had some things for sale at Magi-fest; some had to do with business motivational presentations. His mini-lecture received great reviews...he had to lecture twice to let everyone in who wanted to attend.

Just received my copy from Stevens. Call and find out if have any more copies==I think they do. Started reading and it is fantastic. And there is much more than just mentalism. His bill to lemon is so well thought out.

This is a very fun book to read. Lot of interesting concepts. A very good version of A.C.A.A.N.: Any Card at Any Number is explained in the book, p. 257.
Any Card at Any Number is one of the strongest effects you can do with an ordinary deck of cards. I bought my copy at Blackpool convention 2003. |
