Fresh And Practical! 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, many with complete presentations, for this large volume of baffling experiences.

There's one book, one name, one mind that has been continually recommended and referenced as the book that every performer should own. It's been unavailable for quite some time, and we're delighted to let you know that Barrie Richardson's seminal Theater Of The Mind is finally reprinted. Over 320 pages, Barrie sets out 53 audience-tested, proven powerhouse routines. And every single one is amazing. Barrie tended to rely on ordinary items rather than "props", and has really redefined the "packs small plays big" cliché. This book is full of practical, hard-hitting effects that involve the whole audience, down to intimate miracles that will astound and amaze your spectators. This effects in this must-have book rely on a devastating combination of simplicity and cleverness - and we are completely sure you will not only enjoy, but use the material here. This has been unavailable for so many years, and second-hand copies have been trading for hundreds of dollars. We recommend snapping this up now as the demand is extremely high.
