13 levels of mental magic by Corinda

The definitive book on mental magic, featuring 13 essential techniques you should know and upon which most of the mental tricks you've seen or want to learn are based.

You will receive a complete course in mental magic, which is considered the best work of its kind in the world. It was written by the famous English mentalist Corinda. This is the German edition, which comes in two spiral-bound books.

The book is equally suitable as an introduction to and further reading on the subject. The presentation may seem a bit old-fashioned, but here you will find the most important principles that are still used in mental magic today! A treasure trove and this at a relatively low price that does not do justice to the true value.
