Richard Osterlind's "Easy to Master Mental Miracles" Series is a good start. Most of the stuff is classic (Corinda,Annemman,etc.), which in my opinion is the BEST material.
Not to discourage you combing the older litrature for yourself,but having it in DVD format has its obvious advantages.

I know there's threads dedicated to this comparison but what do you think is best Osterlind's ETMMM or Banachek's Psi series with respect to the effect I'm looking for (see 8 or so posts up), but basically DB type stuff? i.e. working out what word a spectator is thinking of without asking them anything, or is neither suitable? I can't really decide from the description of Banachek and haven't seen Osterlind's dvds in the flesh yet.
