"If Corinda is the Bible of Mentalism, T.A. Waters is the New Testament." - Gaetan Bloom

"Mind, Myth & Magick is T.A. Waters' magnum opus, in which he brilliantly redefines the genre, blending pure mentalism and mental magic in equal measure. It is a mammoth, 800-page collection of 21 earlier books and the breadth of material on offer is staggering, it seems like every possible theme, presentation, trick and prop is explored and usually multiple times! Upon re-reading the whole book, two things really stood out to me: firstly, how inventive Waters was - you will regularly find yourself marvelling at how clever a method is, and there is a lot of material in this book that could have been marketed separately. Secondly, how smart and opinionated he was. His thoughts on mentalism and its performance permeate the book and demonstrate what a deep thinker and important voice he was. Essential reading, it's a cornerstone work that you simply must have in your library." - Mark Elsdon

"This book has provided me with years of enjoyment, ideas, and insight. You must own it to get the full impact. Among the 10 best in my library." - Marc Salem

Dreams of Mentalism Made Real!

Have you ever dreamed you could walk out on stage, ask the spectators to call out at random a multi-digit number, then turn to reveal a card pinned to your back in a position where you obviously can’t reach it - a card that states the precise number just stipulated?

Have you ever wished you could record for later verification - hours or days before the fact - the appearance of a perfect stranger who will sit in a specific seat in your audience?

Have you ever wanted to conjure up a live, sixteen-inch-tall demon in a candle-lit séance room, or divine a mentally chosen name with the aid of a mysteriously animated talisman that floats in a bottle of Atlantean seawater?

Have you ever desired to answer an audiences innermost concerns and questions without a whisper of chicanery - to tell people things about them that you couldn’t possibly know, just by touching some possession of theirs - to divine the astrological signs of total strangers without having the slightest knowledge of their birthdates?

These are but a few of the things that T.A. Waters has dreamed, then taken as challenges, and to which he has devised ingenious and practical solutions.

Mind, Myth & Magick is packed with exciting ideas and keen insights on mentalism, thoughtfully and thoroughly explained in this remarkable book by one of the field’s finest thinkers and most inspired innovators - T.A. Waters!

You have studied your Annneman, consumed Corinda. As a mentalist, what is the next step? You hold in your hands the first genuine postgraduate course in mentalism. This volume contains over 800 pages filled with more than 200 fresh and innovative feats of Mind Reading and Bizarre Magick. In addition, T.A. Waters sheds penetrating new light on the entire field of mentalism through a series of extensive re-examinations of fundamental subjects like:

Psychometry
Book Tests
Spirit Tests
Fortunetelling
Symbol Tests
The Three-Phase Prediction
The Newspaper Test
Billet Work
Working with the Tarot
... and much more

T.A. Waters is recognized as among the most original and knowledgeable minds in mentalism. His work has been widely praised by Bascom Jones, Charles Reynolds, Tony Andruzzi, Ricky Jay, Ted Lesley, John Thompson, Irv Weiner, Phil Goldstein, and many others. In the 1980’s he released twenty-one booklets of his exclusive mental secrets, which were sold to a select clientele for a total of more than $300.

Mind, Myth & Magick contains all these works and additional material, revised, updated, and extensively illustrated. Within this one volume lie material that will set you apart from the generic mentalist and make a lasting and powerful impression on those who experience your performances.

T.A. Waters is the author of numerous books fictional, nonfictional, and magical. These include The Lost Victim - a Detective Book Club main selection - and novels in the genres of science-fiction, crime, espionage, fantasy, and Gothic mystery.

Among his nonfiction books are the best-selling Psychologistics and the Christopher award-winner, Encyclopedia of Magic and Magicians.

Mr. Waters has also appeared in several New York stage productions ranging from Shakespeare to experimental drama, and is a member of the Screen Actors Guild. His long-standing involvement with mentalism has encompassed varied performance venues spanning the Arctic Circle to Tokyo.

He worked for a time for Nelson Enterprises, the well-known mentalists’ supply service, and is the author of many respected articles and monographs on mindreading and kindred topics. He resided in Hollywood, California until his death in 1998.

Michael Weber:

What do I think about T.A. Waters’ Mind, Myth, and Magick?

- There’s an entire 6-part impromptu mentalism act that’s probably better than the one you’re currently performing on page 674.
- Who was using the Ishihara Test for mentalism back in 1961? The answer, and a powerful effect, can be found on page 723.
- Interested in performing Psychometry (Free Will, Desire, Sneak Thief) without looking foolish? Begin your reading on page 115.
- Want to fool Penn and Teller (and everyone else)? Take a look at what’s on page 31.
- A three-object divination using ordinary objects and a simple yet surprising gimmick worthy of Ian Fleming’s Q? It’s on page 9, (and you could make it in under two minutes.)
- Check the 11th (unnumbered) page to learn what T.A. thought about women in the field of mentalism.
- Seeking a miracle method for a real-time three-part prediction? Start on page 59.
- A version of Any Card (really, any card) at Any Number (actually any number) using only the cards in an ordinary card box that's on the table from the start, and the spectator can count down to the card himself (no specially printed gaffs, no rough and smooth, no fake deals, no apps).
- All of the above and dozens and dozens of other principles, miracles, methods, and wisdom all in one place.

Thousands of other mentalists and magicians have purchased this book. You have the chance to become one of the rare few who have actually read it.

The Ad got me, the reality didn't
Style: Variety Pack - Large (3-pack)
Directly from the ad- "Exclusive Noisemakers - Each large toy includes 3 high-quality round squeakers to deliver more sound to keep your best friend entertained.". Now my neighbor bought this squirrel with three high-quality squeakers nearly a year ago. It's ragged and tattered I just recently sewed it up for him where he chewed the one leg odd, but those three noise makers are still squeaking. Whe I got my pup, I immediately went to buy one and they were no longer selling them, so I've been on a search for one or an equivalent. These are not. There's no stuffing to get all over the place when your pup breaks into it, a plus. However the squeakers weren't particularly loud and were silenced in a few hours. Two were dead and the remaining one was very well on its way. The toy itself was pretty much intact but that had more to do with the lack of attention from the dog than how rugged the toy is. He'll pick it up once in a while but it certainly didn't meet my expectations. The good thing is that there are three of them so I can give him some brief excitement in the future. Wouldn't buy again.

Strong Chewer Friendly Toy
Style: Variety Pack - Large (3-pack)
My dog is a rough chewer and these last a really long time (clearly since this beaver's face is long gone! The no stuffing is a win too for cleaning up afterwards.

Fantastic Dog Toy!!!
Color: Purple
This is a great toy!!! My dog has lots of toys. But one of the problems is he has trouble getting the squeaker to squeak. He's an 18 lb terrier mix, and those squeakers are just elusive. Breaks my heart. This one, though, the squeakers (there are two) are in small areas (head and tail), that are easy for him to get his whole mouth around and squeak. They also don't move, which also makes them easy to squeak. So he's been squeaking up a storm since he got this! Other plusses: * The material is great (soft, furry material, that seems to be of good quality). * The toy expands and contracts, which is fun. * It's pleasant to look at. All in all, I'd say this is one of the best dog toys I've ever bought for my dog. Highly recommended!

Great Toy in Spite of Everything.
Color: Purple
My dog is a border collie. She loves chewing, fetching, tug of war and catch. The first day we had this toy she chewed off two of the feet. I didn't give it much of a life span. Two weeks later she chewed off a third foot. Miraculously no stuffing was exposed. It has now been a month and the toy is still going strong, albeit with one foot! She loves it. It is now June 1st. It has been almost three months and I am retiring the toy. It no longer has any feet and the tail has been ripped open and stuffing is coming out. All in all I think I got my money's worth from this toy. I ordered another one. She still loves it!
