The Thirteen Steps to Mentalism is an exhaustive guide to mental magic and is the bible for practicing it. So, now, I feel obligated to share what those old 'has beens' helped me to learn, back then.One of the most famous books on Mentalism is by Tony Corinda. I would never have 'made it' without their confidence and help. I well know, how much it meant to me, when I was a teenager, to have the mentoring and counseling of several old, successful, and, well established performers. (I'll forewarn the fire department, before lighting that many!)

In two weeks, I'll blow out 85 candles on my cake. He replied, 'How much time do you want, and when can you hit the road?' I did ten weeks. I asked, 'Got any use for a broken down, old, has been magician?' I was 75. (It's hard to do nothing! -one never knows when one is through!) So, in '08, I called one of my old managers. I thought that I had done my last tour in '03, but, I got bored doing 'nothing'. He's a bit late! I already knew THAT! I just think it's better to be a has been, than a never was! Of course, now, I'm retired, and, donny has decided that I'm a has been. Many years ago, I 'listened' to an old Greek philosopher (Sophocles) who said a few millenia ago: 'One learns by doing the thing.' I did my best to DO it, over 70 years, and, I think, that I did fairly well.

Thank you Patrick for your very welcome vote of confidence! Yes, I can certainly defend myself if it becomes necessary! Here comes the 'but'! But, it's nice to know that there are some out there who appreciate my thoughts. There's a huge difference.ĭick Oslund doesn't need anyone to defend him, but if you are saying his advice is outdated, you are missing out on some very good The patter and presentations in 13 Steps is certainly dated, but not outdated. If I were watching someone perform and he reached into his pocket and got out a cigarette case, he's lost me as an audience member, but this was once apparently just fine.) We no longer have the acceptance of smoking everywhere all the time that would allow a performer to get a cigarette during his act in order to ditch something.

(By props and attitudes, I mean things like cigarettes in magic. I often wonder about the claim that particular sources are 'outdated.' Unless they rely on props or attitudes that are no longer around, it is hard to see any magic trick becoming outdated if it was ever good to begin with.
