Mental Sweets 2 by Fabien Arcole and Eric Bertrand.

After the success of their first book, Fabien ARCOLE & Eric BERTRAND are back with Mental Sweets 2. In this 190-page book, complete with numerous colour photos, the authors describe novel billet techniques, explain powerful mentalism effects that can be performed with minimal equipment (if any), and share extensive thoughts on mentalism as a performing art.

• The first part discusses various techniques for peeking information written on a piece of paper. Compared with Mental Sweets 1, the novelty resides in the introduction of a link to a video illustrating the point of view of the audience. This should convince you of the effectiveness of the technique in question and it complements nicely the literary explanation.
• In the second part, you will find 8 powerful routines, all aimed at the lonely and penniless mentalist. Lonely, because these effects require neither assistant nor confederate; penniless, because no material is required, except some papers, envelopes and pens.
• The third part of the book is devoted to personal thoughts and views. You will learn among other things how to increase your credibility, how to reveal information in the most effective way or how to incorporate readings into your act.

If you liked the hard candies found in Mental Sweets 1, you will definitely appreciate the soft macaroons contained in Mental Sweets 2 !

Perfect-bound paperback, 190 pages printed in full colour, 6×9 inches.
