I didn't even bother with the Encyclopedia part, I was only after the 13 steps. After awhile, you
realise that so many of these tricks require things that are out of date nowadays. A lot of the
props that seem natural are aboslutely not normal anytime. Also, some tricks require a riduculous
amount of skill and you ask yourself "That won't actually work, right? And no, they don't actually
work(most of them). Yes, there are a few hidden gems, but I would definately not consider it "the
Bible of Mentalism".
Sorry, but it's not THAT good.
