Hello everyone,
My name is Andy. I have been learning sleight of hand on and off now for about 4 years. I enjoy mostly card tricks but I am really interested in getting into Mentalism. Ever since I started watching David Blaine and Darren Brown this past year, I have become really facinated with mind games, subtlties, body language and things of that nature allowing to cold read people. As well as the appearance of psychic, or actual display of psychic, ability. Unfortunately the Mentalism feild is HUGE (as I'm sure you all know) so getting my foot in the door has been a little painful but I have purchased some things off of Ellusionist dealing with mentalism; basic principles and performance strategies. I have also started reading some books on cold reading. Some things about me. I am 23 years old, and I serve in the United States Marine Corps. I currently am in Afghanistan but stationed in North Carolina. I have never just went up to someone and shown them a magic trick but street performing is something that I want to do. I think the reactions are great and doing moves and have them be hidden in misdirection or crowd control and the spectator not seeing is a great feeling. I also have a question about the prediction routines that Darren Brown and David Blaine do so if there is someone with knowledge of how they do it. I am not looking for someone to spoil them for me but I some ideas that I would like to bounce off. I am still new and learning to navigate the website and I am sure I will find some good threads here for what I am looking for. I hope that this wasn't too off topic or anything like that, but that is all for now! Thank you for reading and I hope to talk to you all soon! -Andy |

I just wanted to THANK YOU for your service to our country first and foremost!! Secondly, a warm welcome to the Magic Café! I cannot help you on the mentalism side of magic but there are certainly folks here that can. There is a thread on this site for you on that topic.
