Essays
Essay one: Why playing cards should never be taken for granted. A real life case study where during a performance, a thin safety net resulted in a valuable realisation that all mentalists should ponder upon.
Essay two: Possibly the most important chapter in the book; why everything you know about approaching tables in a walk-around environment is wrong. The mistakes that EVERY magician makes and how to avoid them. A simple set of psychological principles that will go a very long way.
