1999 recipient of the Psychic Entertainers Association award for creativity, and with over fifty years of professional performance behind him, Barrie Richardson has gathered together 53 of his best mental routines, most with complete presentations, for this large volume of baffling experiences. In Theater of the Mind you will find page after page of fresh, practical material, tested and perfected before thousands of audiences; astonishing feats that use only ordinary items, and few of them; entertaining mental experiments that involve the whole audience, that pack small and play big, that exploit a devilish combination of simplicity and cleverness. What you will discover in Barrie Richardson's Theater of the Mind is a wealth of professional material at a pauper's price.

*Act Two, Barrie Richardson's new book, features 54 tricks, ideas and routines. Most include full presentations that culminate in feats that are clearly impossible and thoroughly amazing. The scenes in Act Two* amount to what might be called a modern "miracle play." Here is a scant sampling of the action: - Spectators name any card and a position in the deck. They count down to that position in an isolated pack and find their card at the precise number they chose. The performer never touches the cards, there are no forces or switches, and the deck is ungimmicked. - Remarkable new billet techniques are applied to ordinary business cards and Post-It notes to create astonishing effects of mind reading. - A deck of cards, shuffled by two spectators, mysteriously separates into reds and blacks in their hands. - Various feats of superhuman memory and rapid calculation convince audiences of the performer's extraordinary mental powers—and their own. - Ground-breaking methods are explained for the divining of one or several mentally selected cards. - Three new deck-switches, done while standing, that require no sleights or use of pockets. Frequently, sequels fail to live up to their predecessors. That is not the case here. You won't want to miss *Act Two*.
