You dreamed of it, Magic Dream has made it happen exclusively for you!

Take advantage today of the special launch offer for the legendary book "The 13 Steps to Mentalism" by Tony Corinda, translated into French by Richard Vollmer.

Originally published in booklet form, Tony CORINDA's work is now a magnificent book divided into 13 chapters, each one a lesson in mentalism in a course designed to guide the reader step by step. This monumental work contains, of course, mentalism tricks and techniques, but also all the underlying psychology, staging, presentation, patter, etc. In short, it's the most complete work ever written on the subject. In fact, many believe that it is so comprehensive that assimilating it is enough to become a professional mentalist.

In this book you'll find studies that have never been covered in any other French book, such as those devoted to the nailwriter, interpretation of sounds, lipreading or interpreting pencil movements.
