Bob Cassidy & Michael Weber - Artful Mentalism

On February 26th 2009 a historic event took place. Bob Cassidy gave a one-of-a-kind two hour teleseminar which was hosted by his longtime student and friend Michael Weber.

 

Two hours of pure Cassidy where he answered questions and spoke on a number of crucially important points on mentalism. Some of the topics discussed were:

 

    Persona: Selecting effects consistent with your persona; choosing a persona; credibility; the Dr. Crow persona.

    Rehearsing: How to practice mentalism.

    What is bad mentalism?

    Scripts versus Improvisation

    Mentalism versus Mental Magic

    Publicity stunts

    Logical disconnect: The importance of preventing the possibility for spectators to back trace the method.

    and a lot more...

 

Bob also explained several of the points he wanted to make on concrete examples, effects he uses or used in his professional stage program, such as his Russian Roulette routine.

 

Additionally to the two hour MP3 you will receive two PDFs. One is the pre-seminar lecture notes that everybody received before the seminar started. And the other is a post-seminar PDF where Bob followed up on many questions submitted by listeners.
