Description

“One of the great unsung heroes of original and fooling magic.”– Derren Brown

The Mental Mysteries of Hector Chadwick became an underground sensation when it was first self-released in the late 2000s. Hector’s refreshing take on mentalism captivated the entire community. This book quickly sold out and outside of some “revised additions” years ago it has been out of print for a long time.

Due to unwavering demand from mentalists and magicians alike Vanishing Inc. has worked directly with Hector to bring The Mental Mysteries of Hector Chadwick back and make it better than ever. The routines have been updated and rewritten and new material has been added alongside new illustrations. In total more than 50 pages of amazing tricks and invaluable essays have been included in this “definitive” version of The Mental Mysteries of Hector Chadwick.

This book is written unlike any other mentalism book. It’s not dry or dense. You’ll find yourself enthralled by the clever thinking and sharp wit. It’s no wonder that Derren Brown has entrusted Hector to help him write many of his best theatrical and TV shows. Don’t let the light-hearted tone of the writing fool you though. This material is gold.

All of the included effects in this nearly 260-page hardcover book are practical and audience-tested. They’re accompanied by fascinating essays that delve into some of mentalism’s most important topics. His thoughts on equivoque are worth the price of the book alone. There’s even one essay that might be the shortest essay on magic and mentalism ever printed.
