## Description

13 Steps to Mentalism by Corinda : desertcart.ae: Toys

Review: Mind-reading acts performed on stage have always held a certain allure for me. The sheer ability to captivate an audience, leaving them spellbound with seemingly inexplicable feats of mentalism, is a skill I have long admired. So, when I picked up *13 Steps to Mentalism*, I was driven by a singular goal: to uncover the secrets behind these astonishing tricks and, perhaps, learn how to perform them myself. Written by Tony Corinda, this book is considered a foundational text for anyone venturing into the world of mentalism. And for good reason—it is an encyclopedic treasure trove of knowledge. The book methodically breaks down techniques, from telepathy to muscle reading, and from mnemonics to predictions. Each "step" offers rich insights and practical explanations that make you feel as if you're peeling back the curtain on a world that’s usually shrouded in mystery. I immersed myself in its teachings and found every chapter to be a fascinating glimpse into the art and science of mentalism. The writing is clear and engaging, which made the complex concepts feel accessible to a beginner like me. I especially appreciated how Corinda doesn't just focus on the "how" of the tricks but also delves into the psychology behind them—what makes them work and, crucially, why they fool even the most discerning spectators. However, my personal journey with this book was bittersweet. Unfortunately, I live with motor neuron disease, a condition that, while it does not diminish my passion for learning, restricts my physical endurance. The motor skills and repetitive practice required to master these mentalism techniques quickly became too exhausting for me. As much as I enjoyed the education and the deep dive into this captivating art form, the realization that I would not be able to put theory into practice felt like my dreams of becoming a mentalist were dashed on the rocks below. But that is *my* challenge, not yours. *13 Steps to Mentalism* remains an exceptional guide, one that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone eager to explore the world of mentalism. Whether you're an aspiring performer or simply curious about the secrets of the trade, this book will open your mind and spark your imagination. For me, it was still a rewarding read—one that deepened my appreciation for the craft, even if my own stage debut may remain forever a dream. If your circumstances allow you to pursue the art of mentalism, this book will be the perfect starting point on your journey.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a hardback?**
A: It is a hardback. But let me just warn you, that this book is not what you might think. It is a how-to for VERY unconvincing stage tricks. I was disappointed to find out that it is only full of ridiculous cheats and common sense cons that wouldnt impress anybody. Like hiding a pencil tip under your thumb nail to write things down on cards during "tricks". Or telling someone to write down a number from one to nine and you can figure out the number.. By watching the pencil eraser closely while they are writing, and giving your best guess. It has no cool or real information. I don't mean to be a downer, but i'd hate to see someone get bamboozled like i did. I hope this helps.

**Q: Is this an appropriate book for a Middle Schooler?**
A: Honestly, I don't think so.  The book is quite "dense" and is great for someone with good reading skills and some background.  For a starter book at this level, I would suggest "Self Working Mental Magic" by Karl Fulves.  This book contains many clever and killer effects that are readable and do-able by a middle school student, and would be an excellent stepping stone to the theory and effects of, what I would call, a textbook like "13 Steps".  This comment is by a former middle school, now high school teacher, and, I must say, your question is a great one!
