Information on Various Techniques


Guide to 'Cold Reading' - Link provided by
Derren Brown - Master Mentalist

Indications of Deception - An interesting website on the ways to tell if somebody is lying or telling the truth.

NLP-Wold.com - This is a site that provides many inks to other NLP sites. I personally do not like most of the NLP ideas, but have a read and make up your own mind.

A book that may appeal to the budding card magician is Royal Road to Card Magic. It takes you through the basics of card magic teaching the reader the important techniques of slights and flourishes. Don't expect to become a master magician just because you have bought the book as it will take many hours of practice.

For the more advanced card magician, Expert Card Technique is very good. The only down side with this book is that the diagrams are sometimes confusing, but that is only my personal option.

For the ultimate guide to hypnotism, Ormond McGill's The New Encyclopaedia of Stage Hypnotism is a great book to read, though the only downside is the price: �35 from Amazon, however, if you are seriously interested in hypnotism then this should be the book to buy.



Derren employs may different skills to formulate his unique style and performance and may or may not use some of the techniques above but they are all good in their own right and provide a very interesting read.
