Breathing new life into classic methods, Craig’s debut work focuses on turning mere spectator’s into active participants. By creating engaging presentations, the participants don’t simply witness something incredible, they are a part of it. Contained in this book are some of Craig’s musings on the art of mentalism as well as a couple of highly interactive routines.

Opsis – an essay bearing the book’s namesake, Craig brings concepts of theater and storytelling into the realm of close up mentalism with tips on how to make presentations more memorable, as well as how to make the audience care about what you’re doing.

Hearsay – A frighteningly simple liar/truth teller that will get your audience talking (in a good way). You’re always able to determine who is lying. This is a perfect opener!

Radio Radio – In an experiment of “second sound,” you are able to hear what a participant hears in their mind. You are then able to reveal their thought of song. You will love the subtle touches that make this a believable demonstration.

“This really is a great collection. These are not ideas for the book shelf officianado. The routines and thoughts in this book are things that every mentalist should be utilizing. Inside Opsis are routines that directly aid in audience interaction, which is the most crucial element of our performances.” – Steve Wachner

“Radio Radio is a beautiful routine that is simple yet elegant. It is precisely a piece that would be performed on the red brick road that leads to the Garden of the Strange.” – Reza

Solid, practical, real world material

Craig's debut has some very solid, practical and real world material. The essay is a very interesting point of view, "Radio Radio" is a very believable looking demonstration and Hearsay is, in my opinion, the best piece in the book: straight forward and direct. Love it!

Awesome

Craig Logan may be a name that not many people have heard of before in the realm of mentalism, but boy does he have a lot to say on the topic. This work has just a couple of routines, but the thought and teaching that are included in this work are very strong. Craig employ's one really old little-known technique and one technique that has been heavily used throughout the ages. Within this release Craig teaches with a very minimalistic style, using minimalistic props, but doesn't lack in detail or strength of performance. Most impressive is his detailed essay explaining a history of tragedy and his thoughts on theatrics. Craig really attempts to drive home the importance of all facets of the performance and providing equal attention and detail to all areas of your performances. I believe this is a great work, with much detail. Thanks so much for your work in this release.

Pleasantly surprised

At first, I didn't know what to expect, with Craig being a newer author in Mentalism of course. I am pleased to report I have been pleasantly surprised! These works are beautiful. Be warned, within, you will not find brand-new, original methods - more like methods to make your own performances ten times better.
