Despite over four decades of magic and mentalism experience, Rick Maue has always managed to remain a bit elusive...until now! On this download, Rick presents a number of his signature pieces, as well as several unreleased items, with many of the effects coming from his working repertoire.

Mental Deceptions is loaded with strong mentalism for stand-up or close-up performances and remarkably, none of the effects require expensive gimmicks or props - just everyday items such as envelopes, poker chips, paper, playing cards, etc. (It's why Michael Weber dubbed Rick "OfficeMax Maven.")

What's more, no sleight of hand is required. Rick calls it VdM Magic - material that's so technically easy that the Venus De Milo could perform it! In other words, everything is well within the technical reach of every performer.

You'll also be able to step inside the mind of Rick Maue during informative interview segments conducted by magician Francis Menotti. You'll see for yourself why Marc DeSouza once asked Rick, "Why is it that when I see you lecture, I feel like I am watching a mad scientist at work?"

Volume 2 Features:

Beyond the Witching Hour- A bit of spirit communication that also teaches a very useful utility move for the everyday worker who wants to move the hands of a watch.

The final picture- Whether on stage, doing close-up, performing a seance, or working impromptu, this is the piece that Rick has performed more than all of his other creations combined.

Animal Instincts- A close-up prediction effect that relies on human instincts.

In the neighborhood- A simplistic version of "Out of this world"... but it doesn't use playing cards!

Abstract Extraction (Francis Menotti)- A strange effect that make brainwaves visible to the human eye.

Defining the difference- A strong bit of mentalism that demonstrates the difference between a magician and a mentalist.

Focus/ Sixth sense symbols- A three phase routine that looks and feels like a real mind reading. It appears impossible, because it almost is... unless you know the secret.

The journey- A stand up piece that has fooled some of the best minds in mentalism. It's strong and versatile, and like almost all of Rick's creations, everything that you need comes from a regular office supply store.

(This review is for Mental Deceptions Vol.2 by Rick Maue)

I've been doing magic for decades and particularly interested in mentalism for the past few years. I have bought many videos and this is the worst L&L publishing video and mentalism video I have seen. I saw his volume 1 and there were two effects on here where the method was the same as on vol 1. to be fair, the effects were a little different and gave me some food for thoughts but definitely not worth the price of the dvd. And the worst was an effect on this video where it blew me away. I said to myself "holy crap, I am going to the explanation and doing it right away" and I had no idea how he could have done the effect. Only to find out he told the spectator what to do. This is no pre-show. I am ok with pre-show. But this effect is equivalent to having a spectator think of a card and you name it, only to find out you told the spectator "later in the show I am going to ask you to name a card, when i do so, you name the Ace of Diamond." Shame on L&L publishing for allow this effect to make it on the video!
