Subject: randomness...books to recommend?
Hi everyone!
i only joined this group recently and have been trawling through a
load of the earlier messages (takes a looong time, but an interesting
read even at 2am! i love hearing everyone's ideas about DB's
techniques:)
ooh...and i did notice from the last programme when Derren was
getting the person to think of the 7 of hearts, he made a heart shape
with his hands on his chest quite a bit. i picked up on the bottle
shapes he made too! (was so proud of myself for noticing that! but i
doubt i'd have seen it if i was actually there. the detachment of
television..plus we're watching his every movement extremely closely.
Anyway, i'm thinking of buying a couple of good books on the subject
(NLP, mentalism..i'm not quite sure what else!)
From earlier posts people seem to like:
Corinda '13 Steps to mentalism'
Bandler 'Frogs into Princes'
Ormond McGill's book on stage hypnotism
Ian Rowland's book on Cold Reading.
(I presume that Derren's Pure Effect book requires previous knowledge
of magic/card tricks...so perhaps not good for me!)
Can anyone suggest which of these are the best or any other books
that would be a good place to start?? i'm a complete novice but i
find this topic so fascinating!
