Imagine
Rick Maue
(Based on 1 review)
A very simple word, and yet, such a powerful one.
Just Imagine that a volunteer from the audience can merely think of any item from a list that has been entirely created by the rest of the audience. She concentrates upon her selection as the you run through all of the named possibilities. When you get to the end of the list, you will be able to tell the volunteer exactly what she is thinking.
Just Imagine that a person can merely think of any one of the five standard ESP symbols - and you will be able to tell them which one.
And all of this (and more) can be accomplished on the spot. Nothing ever needs to be written. There is no advance preparation. No secret assistants. No gimmicks. No forcing. No pumping. No equivoque. And everything can be done without the performer ever touching anything - so there is obviously no sleight-of-hand. Simply put, everything here can look, and feel, like real mind reading. And everything can be done 100% impromptu.
But, there is a catch…
If you are the type of person that often reads something that is a bit different, and immediately believes that it will never work, then this manuscript will not be worthwhile for you. The material found between these covers is unusual, powerful, and certainly not for everyone. So be forewarned.

Imagine by Rick Maue is not for the faint hearted. It is not a tome of sure fire mentalism tricks. It is more of an experiment in actual mind reading. OK, maybe not real mind reading but he uses some very interesting psychological techniques.
The book is about 40 staple bound pages. It is a no frills 8 and half by 11 inch pamphlet. Of course, what you are really purchasing is the thoughts inside. However, for $30 some people might balk. It is difficult to review this one. I can easily see where some people will be totally enthralled by the contents of this book. Others students of magic will quickly throw it in the trash pile.
Why? Well, as I stated earlier, these are not sure fire mental effects. They will take practice and time. You will need to be a more experienced performer as much of the effect depends on your ability to choose the right people and be disarming. However, I believe that if you put in the time, you could have some real stunners here.
The effects are based off of a principle that Rick introduces in the first part of the book. He takes you through the principle step by step, with many demonstration of how to practice this technique. The overall effect could be done close up or on stage.
Also long as the purchaser understands that this will be a book that explores some real psychological techniques that will have to be practiced and rehearsed it could be a gold mine. If you are looking for a book with a list of neat mental magic tricks, move along.
