"Until the publication of this book, has been one of mentalism's best-kept secrets; you are about to dip into the vast creativity of Doug Dyment, a true "underground" genius."
- Ken Weber "Doug Dyment is one of the deepest thinkers in mentalism and Calculated Thoughts is his Magnum Opus. The depth to which he explores each of his chosen subjects is simply breathtaking. He shines a highly perceptive light into some of the darkest corners of mentalism technique and reveals insights that will remain with the art for decades to come." - Marc Paul FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, Doug Dyment releases his ultra private material (except a few limited items, that are long out of print). There are more than 40 complete, audience-tested routines detailed in this massive text including Doug's diabolical DAO system that allows you to perform memorized deck magic without needing to remember a single card, as well as his "Perfect Center Tear," which is beloved by many of the biggest names in mentalism.

I have been privy to a small amount of the ideas that are in this book and can’t wait to add this one to my shelf!
Besides being such a lovely guy, Doug is one of the rare few that I trust completely when it comes to his releases. He always puts quality first and won’t release anything that hasn’t been field tested and carefully polished to perfection! Those in the UK can order from www.mindfx.co.uk Best Wishes Michael
As a mentalist you must always ask yourself what if! And throughout your life you should seek to ask and answer this question over and over again, only then will your wildest dreams become a reality!

I have all of the Doug Dyment booklets, and although I'm happy to see it all come together in one book, on a purely selfish level, bummed that it's going to move from the "underground level" to street level! Doug's a brilliant thinker, and even though, as I mentioned, I already have all of his booklets, I'll get this too!

It's a great book, beautifully produced and the contents will get you thinking. Doug's work on the magic square and full deck stacks is genius. Personally I have used "The Real Thing" for years. IMO it's one of the best routines a mentalist can do in a corporate show. It has everything, audience participation, a strong effect, but best of all relevance to the audience. Anytime a company wants me to perform a bespoke presentation for them I simply add this to my normal, tried and tested, set and the job is done.

I promised myself that I would stop buying magic until I complete my massive supplement in progress.
But I just placed my order (on Penguin). This it the kind of book that must be purchased. I have never regretted buying any of Doug's material. Elliott |

I'm very very interested in this product. I think I'm going to buy it. Is possible to have the table of contents and a brief description of the effects/principles/moves?
What would a real mindreader do?

Hello,
There's no detailed descriptions, but the table of contents is shown in this listing. I hope that this is helpful. https://www.vanishingincmagic.com/mental......houghts/ Regards |

Check Deceptionary for a bit more description and discussion about contents of his booklets, which appear to make up the majority of this book.
I ordered within minutes of getting an email from VI about it. Patrick |

For the record, approximately two-thirds of Calculated Thoughts is comprised of (almost) every item from my eight previously-published books, updated and expanded for this new publication. The remaining third consists of previously unpublished material.
And yes, descriptions of many (far from all) of the previously-published pieces can be found within the pages of The Deceptionary, along with a plethora of reviews for each book, which should give those new to my work an indication of what's in store.

THAT is some table of contents!!! This volume of high quality mentalism will surely put Calculated Thoughts in the class of classic books like Unreal by Bruce Bernstein and Richardson’s Theater of the Mind.
Congratulations Doug, what a true contribution to the art! |

The Table of Contents posted by Elliott is spaced in a somewhat peculiar fashion.
For those interested, a more easily parsed version can be viewed here.
