Self-Working Mental Magic (Dover Magic Books)

Like all the Karl Fulves self-working, magic books, this one does not disappoint. A few of the tricks may be a bit dated, but with a little thought can easily be updated. (A good magician should strive to make all their tricks unique to them anyway.) Also, some of the methods I learned in this book, I have not seen in newer books. What's old can be new again! Reasonably priced, good information, I would definitely recommend!

If you’re looking to get into mentalism, this is a good start.

This book has a lot of different "mental" magic tricks in it. Some are very good, some are a bit weak. And then some are not explained very well. If you cannot explain the trick very well then it will be difficult to pull it off. Better illustrations would have helped. Not the best book on magic out there but not the worst either. The price was reasonable.

Great book for any working magician

Good book for the price. Had very good tricks and simply explained.

Excellent

In martial arts history, there have been noted times when the methods or secrets of a system were altered so that only a select few (closed-door) students were allowed to learn the real deal while others were left with only a partial or fake set of techniques. This was to keep some knowledge secret to be useful to the teacher and his favorite students.That's the kind of feeling I get as I've been reading through this book. And guess which set of techniques it feels like I got.The tricks seem like they use techniques that are too simple so as to only fool children (which has been pointed out in other reviews) or are so out of date so as to not be useful. There is actually one trick where the secret is to sneak a look into another room through a keyhole...? Don't know about you, but most modern buildings I spend time in don't have those old keyholes or similar devices where that kind of "secret" could work.I'll keep reading to find one or two tricks I might be able to modify to work. But I've found more impressive and less complicated and/or dated tricks for free in online searches.Just glad I didn't spend a lot of money for this product.

bought as birthday gift and grandson loved it as he has been into magic now for a couple of years

Was gibt es dazu noch zu sagen? Muss man gelesen haben.

Da appassionato di Prestidigitazione, ho acquistato il Self Working ...” non solo per conoscere nuovi principi di cold Reading, ma anche per avere nuove nozioni tecniche. Testo per Mentalisti avanzati

Muy interesante, como todos los trabajos de Karl Fulves, Se ajusta perfectamente a lo esperado

Super livre de Magie comme tous les livres de Karl Fulves je recommande à tous les Magiciens qui font du mentalisme ainsi que à tous ceux qui veulent lire dans les " pensées "🤗

This is NOT mentalism, but mental magic. This book will not make you the next Derren Brown or Uri Geller. But at the same time it offers you the chance to perform tricks with a mental twist, that almost anyone can do.ALL of Karls books are worth the money & deserving of 5 stars & each book has at least one trick that with some thought & performance skill can be a real reputation earner.
