PREFACE:
I was one of those who didn't expect the shift in emphasis from tools
to routines in PS2. I wasn't sure whether PS3 would be closer to PS2
or PS1. I'm glad Scott Wells points out more clearly here the direction
this series of books is taking. I expect the new edition of PS1 will
include more routines to supplement the original material.

If this method truly makes a difference, why not add an additional cue
like: "Orange (aren't) you glad you're a vegetable farmer?"
"Kenton'S KALENDAR":
"The effect originally sold for $20 , so as you can see, you have
already managed to get a big fraction of your money's worth from this
book with this effect alone."

I don't think pointing this out is being nitpicky because the effect is
somewhat complicated (at least on first reading) and the dates are
crucial.
SUBTLE PARADOX:
"I am not at liberty to give Max's working here..."
Does anyone know why that is?
It might be fun to dismiss the first spectator after he/she does their
thing and have the other two people find they've been sitting on the
predictions the whole time. This may lead a coarse comic mentalist to
ask "Has anyone ever suggested you're sitting on your brain?"

Thank you so much, Mind Guerrila. Now, I have some specifics to look
forward to when I order the book later this week.

"The White Dwarf" was the name Bascom Jones used for the
routine/principle. As mentioned above, Cassidy writes about it in The
Art Of Mentalism using the title "The Two Envelope Test."
Inner circle Richard Busch has a handling of Bruce Bernstein's take on the same
Hill Valley

titled "Special Delivery." on page 9.)

The White Dwarf has its origins in the Khan Envelope test by Corinda;
I don't know if the original is still available, but Corinda deserves
credit for this wonderful idea.

Thank you for your detailed synopsis and insightful comments, Mind
Guerrilla.
It seems like this great book is chock full of effects and important

Banachek's thoughts on building the Mentalist's stage persona,
audience management, approach towards effects and routining. Are
some of the above dedicated chapters in themselves or simply
integrated throughout the book.
Has Mind Guerrilla listed each and every title/chapter in this 200
page+ book, or are some missing. If some are missing, if possible
(and you have the time/energy/will) please list these missing titles.
Many thanks.

Chapter One - Subtle Dealing with Difficult Spectators: Have you ever
had your performance disrupted by a cell phone? Have you ever had a
spectator refuse to reveal their thought-of number/card/item? Have
you ever had a spectator deliberately lie to you about what they were
thinking? This chapter deals with preventing and creating the perfect
performance situation so these will never happen to you again.
specific vegetable.
Chapter Three – Subtle Verbal: This is all about verbal “dual reality”
and how to be both right and wrong at the same time. It is also how
to phrase something so it is understood differently by your volunteer
than by the audience. A couple effects from this chapter include
“Picture Perfect” wherein a spectator is able to describe the color of a
shirt, the color of the eyes, the time on a clock and the name of an
individual in a picture without ever having seen it. “Ultimate
Imagination” is a coin visualization routine wherein the performer is
able to tell a spectator which invisible coin they are thinking of and
which hand holds the coin.
Chapter Six – Subtle Cards: This chapter deals with how to use
various psychological principles to force playing cards.
Chapter Eleven – Subtle Paradox: Using the written word you are able
