Here's Part 2 of Mind Reading Mysteries, a continuation of mentalism routines using mentalism utilities. If you have Part 1, getting Part 2 is a no-brainer. If you don't have either yet, get out your credit card (or go PayPal) and get them now.

These routines use classic methods: s****, MOs, confabulation, p***** w******, f****, and OA. There's a dynamite p*** too that for some reason I'd never seen before. (Guess I should spring for a Tarbell book set.) If you are a beginning mentalist, this is a primer of stuff that you will see in Corinda, wonderfully taught by the master teacher Dan Harlan. If you are a seasoned mentalist, you'll enjoy Dan's rationale for changing certain parts of the original Tarbell routines and his personal subtleties. (He makes a wonderful point about doing headline predictions in a modern world where newspapers are dying off.) But whatever your skill level is, you need to see these two lectures which bring the classic Tarbell material to vivid, enjoyable life.

Favourite effects on this volume:
- Message from Hades. - A double prediction
- Royal Newspaper prediction - A practical one-man newspaper prediction
- A word in thousands - An interesting way of getting information on any word thought of from a book

Word in a Million. Great trick, it is now in my act. Just loved Dan Harlens handling.Thanks so much to Dan. I will be defiantly using this in my mentalist act.So smooth and easy to do.

I give the video 5 stars because Dan Harlan is one of the best to teach so you can understand, even though Dan Harlan's way of performing is not my style. He is very theatrical, and that makes it seem unreal and like tricks, because he is overacting. But that is just my opinion - but I guess it works for him. But you absolutely learn so much from his way of explaining. So I am not complaining, but fully satisfied.

Will I use everything? No. Might I use some? Yes.
Dan's style is not my style but he does a great job demo-ing the tricks and puts in new twists that update them for today's performer.

Love all the material in this series

I am a big fan of Dan. I purchase a lot of his tricks. Years ago I purchased one where in tore a paper napkin into a moon and star and I was in awe of his creative mind when he said he invented that as a teen.
In this Dan explains in detail many tricks. I knew a few but learned some. which is what it's all about. And only gave it a 4 star because I knew some in advance. Dan's instructions are ALWAYS top notched. When he's not inventing new magic tricks, he'll take existing tricks and make them better.
You know you can't go wrong when you see Dan's involved.

Highest Remarks for this presentation!

I use these Tarbell courses as affordable ways to broaden my magic and I haven't been disappointed. This one is particularly good as Harlan updates the methods incredibly well. The last three are my favorites.

Well, as usual, Dan gives you great new hints and subtleties with these classics. Many of his ideas should spark ideas of your own. Love his easily made double envelopes.
