From business predictions (Eat at Joe's) to card miracles (Psych-Out, a revealing 10 Card Poker Deal), must-have techniques (Bernstein Center Tear) and much more, Unreal covers territory essential to any miracle-worker's repertoire.The book presents mysteries involving the most basic objects: scraps of paper, maps, and money, as well as inexplicable feats of mind-reading: predictions, mind-reading feats, psychometry, utilitarian techniques for obtaining secret information, cold-reading scripts and techniques, and many more. Ten new essays complement the tours themselves, each of which was written specifically for this book.All the miracles described in these pages are within the reach of the average mentalist. No complicated sleight of hand or digital dexterity is required. That said, a good dose of boldness may be necessary in certain cases.All of this is explained in a familiar and engaging style, expertly illustrated by Tony Dunn. Unreal may be the title of the book, but achieving the miracles it explains is most certainly within the reach of anyone who reads it.All material has been revised, expanded, and illustrated, with an introduction by Jon Stetson.Pages: 242 (plus xii) 7.5" x 10" - Luxury hardcover in genuine linen - Black and white illustrations.
