Basil Horwitz's Mental Magick

What do Luke Jermay, Andy Nyman, Marc Paul have in common? Basil Horwitz. Basil Horwitz has influenced (and continues to influence) their mentalism and that of so many others, and has done so for decades!…In 1978, the Magicassettes were released, in English, in which he described his best routines orally... Following the success of these, the 5 volumes of The Mental Magick of Basil Horwitz followed (a transcription in book form of the cassettes). It is with pride that today these foundational books are made available to you in French, in the form of two volumes! In keeping with the original editions, I decided to keep the original illustrations and subtitle them. I hope you enjoy Basil Horwitz's "mental magic" as much as I enjoyed developing this project. -Julien Losa WHAT THE PROS SAY: "When I got my hands on Basil's first book, I couldn't believe it.Finally a mentalism that corresponded to everything I was looking for. It was clean, simple in plot and straightforward.In fact, the further I read, the more surprised and frustrated I was by the similarity to a Roman holiday during the first five pages or so. I feel particularly indebted to Basil because I partly built my reputation on one of his routines (if you think I'm going to tell you which one, stop dreaming)."-Andy NYMAN "Too often, magical artists who build a reputation for themselves end up falling somewhere between the talented thinker who disappoints when seen in a performance and the charismatic artist who makes form triumph over substance, impressive, certainly, but not always original.It is rare to find someone who so perfectly embodies all the elements of true artistic creation, combining profound thought with an understated style of presentation capable of convincing an entire room, whether composed of laypeople or other magicians, that the person on stage is truly someone special.Not only will you learn and practice many of these routines, but they will also be used to charm and impress your spectators - that's the beauty of mentalism as practiced by Basil Horwitz."-Bob GILL SUMMARY: Note: the summary is kept in English to retain the essence of the titles, although the content of the book has been entirely translated into French by Yann and produced by Julien. ;-) The Mental Magick of Basil Horwitz vol.01(first edition: 1981) A word from Martin BreesePresentation by Basil HorwitzChallenge Book TestChallenge Publicity E.S.P.Challenge PremonitionChallenge Mental Hypnotic SuggestionChallenge Design..Challenge PsychometryChallenge Thought The Mental Magick of Basil Horwitz vol.02(first edition: 1984)IntroductionChallenge Poker RoutineSpectator's Clairvoyance & Spirit TestESP Mindreading Plus MindcontrolOne Hundred and Forty Thousand Six Hundred and Eight to OneChallenge Double PredictionChallenge Bank Note MindreadingBasil Horwitz - Challenge Thought Version II The Mental Magick of Basil Horwitz vol.03Part One (First Edition: 1994) IntroductionPart One: The Haines PhenomenonMnemonic System for ESP CardsSpecial ESP TestSpectator Turned PsychicESP Divination, Clairvoyance & Mind ControlESP Challenge Mind ControlMatching ESP£100 ESP TestChallenge ESP Duplication
