Harpacrown Too (Collector's Edition)

The first Harpacrown was released in 2016 to critical acclaim. It received universally positive reviews and found its way into the collections of many top professionals. Since the original Harpacrown is synonymous with practical and usable hardware, it's no surprise that this one is also called Harpacrown.While the first Harpacrown focused on the why, this volume focuses on the how. How to write, how to adapt material and build new routines, how to build an act, and most importantly, how to make your Mentalism entertaining.The two volumes combine to give you a solid foundation in the why and how. The effects are strong and practical and work in the real world and serve to illustrate the principles discussed in the essays.This DELUXE COLLECTORS EDITION is a quality, beautifully bound book, lovingly created to look great on any shelf and last a lifetime.

It's full of good advice from a real-world perspective."- Marc Paul: "This book is a remarkable teaching tool and a tribute, as well as a lesson on the thinking of mentalism. His mental process (which he explains) is mind-blowing. He does all of this and is honestly a thinker for our times. He understands the rhythm of the moment and exploits it with astonishing results."- Marc Salem"Mark provided solid routines that were clearly worked on. The structure of the routines is always solid, and the methods are always deceptively simple. Mark clearly has an eye for adding twists and subtleties that highlight each element of mentalism. It's an excellent look into his mind. His essays and philosophy on how to make your tricks/presentations original will inspire you to dive into your own performances. As for the material, this is one of the rare occasions where the material in this second book is just as strong (perhaps even stronger) than that in the first book."- Madison Adams Hagler: "This is one of those rare books that I wish I didn't own, just so I could buy it again and have a new reading experience."-Jamie Badman "This book hasn't left my nightstand since I received it. It blew all the other books out of the water."-David Kenney: "Honestly, this is one of the best books on mentalism I've had the pleasure of reading. It is well written and clear to understand. Aesthetically, it is fantastic."- Steve Black: "Rarely is a book on mentalism a true pleasure to read. Harpacrown Too, on the other hand, does the job perfectly. I wasn't sure if Harpacrown Too would live up to Mark's previous albums, Harpacrown and Free Will, both of which were successes in their own right. Harpacrown Too has reached a new level!"- Michael Dear
