Hello, I'm a bit of a loss with this new book. Maybe you can help. Let me explain:
Whenever Jeff Busby announced a new Osterlind publication,I ordered it promptly. I even bought Two-faced which was marketed by Tannens a long,long time ago. So,I have Dynamic Mysteries, the Business book etc. And you may have guessed that I like his material From the description on the website I can't get what is really new in Mystique. Its totally ok. if an author republishes material in a new book. that's not uncommon in the scientific community. But before buying I would like to know more. Thanks, Klaus-Peter |

The book does contain a lot of material I have not put in print before. But, you are right, there are other items in it that were available in the past. I will explain. Dynamic Mysteries was a very popular book, but is unavailable now. Everything in that book, with the exception of Miracle Thought Projection and Puff Pasteboard, has been on the videos I produced. I wanted to include these items since they are now very hard to find and today's new generation of mentalists do not have access to the original book. I also have grown to dislike e-books. When we started doing it years ago, there weren't that many out. Now, there are a ton of them. I, personally, would much rather have a real book in my hands than be looking at a computer screen. The Business of Magic and the Memorized Breakthrough were the last 2 e-books we produced that weren't in hard copy. Finally, Mystique is my small attempt (and maybe a very inadequate one) to try to talk about the "feeling" and "charm" that magic has always had for its audiences and how that seems to be lacking in some of today's offerings. To a few it may sound like an attack on all new authors, but that is not the case. I love many new products and my endorsements can be seen everywhere, but I do believe there is a lot of material that is just not up to par. Many seem to be constantly searching for the newest, greatest idea that will make them famous in mentalism when those ideas are already in print and, unlike a lot of today's material, are audience and time tested. As stated in the ads, this is not a "typical" magic book. It is meant to be thought through very thoroughly and then, if you don't agree with me, fine. We shall see how it is received. Richard |

Dear Richard,
thank you for the reply. I sent you a PM. I too prefer an "old fashioned" book over an e-book. And yes, some of the old books have a charm that some of the modern books lack. Now I'm curious... All the best Klaus-Peter |

I just received my deluxe edition yesterday. I've just started and am already enjoying it. As has already been noted there is some material that has been in print before... but it's the first time for me for much of it.
I don't want this to come off the wrong way but there's a depth in Mr. Osterlind's writing that might surprise people who are only familiar with his video work. I've been pleasantly surprised to read the thinking that has come before... and come *from* his performances. I highly recommend it.

I don't have "dynamic mysteries" but I do have osterlind dvd "mind myteries" complete volume. Is it enough to understand the concept inside "mystique"?
Since the book is not for the beginner? |

As I have said before, if I just get people to think about some of these concepts, even if they reach completely different conclusions, I will have done what I set out to do. By the way, don't forget to go to http://www.osterlindmysteries.com/Extend......Epic.pdf for an addition to one of the routines. Richard |

I am soooo G** Dam*** humbled.
It arrived arrived in the mail today. I have nothing else to say but thank you..really, thank you Richard. Of course, I've had this 15 minutes and only read Check Effect....I had to.... (I've been in woods all day deer hunting. I'm grabbing a shower, and then this book coupled an adult beverage and a blanket for the rest of the evening...and perhaps into the night....Christmas lights can wait!) Thanks, Bryn

I, too, am humbled Richard. I was having a lousy day and I get to the very end of Mystique and what do I find?
Changed my whole day. That was really kind of you to mention me and The Fource like that. What a total surprise! Thank you, it meant more than you can know especially given the particular timing. |
