Mental Epic Compendium by Paul Romhany, Keystone Entertainment Ltd.

Mental Epic is one the most powerful effects in the mentalist’s repertoire. Compiled and edited by Paul Romhany, Mental Epic Compendium, is packed with over fifty-four routines and ideas for this classic effect. Hen Fetsch invented the board in 1954, and over the past five decades it has undergone many different variations, however most magicians and mentalists still own an original Hen Fetsch board.

Details: This book covers routines for the standard Mental Epic prop and it’s modern variations, as well as One-Ahead routines that can be performed close-up and impromptu using post-it notes, business cards and index cards.

Contributors include: Banachek, Kenton Knepper, Bob Cassidy, Larry Becker, Dan Garrett, Kostya Kimlat, Sean Taylor, Richard Webster, Bev Bergeron, Alan Shaxon, TC Tahoe, David Regal, Gerard, James Biss, Danny Archer, Bill Abbott, Paul Alberstat, Whit Haydn, Patrick Kuffs, Vanni Pule, E Raymond Carlyle, Tony Binarelli, Mick Ayres, David Seebach, Professor Spellbinder, Bob Tripp, Hal Spear, John T Sheets, Dr. Bill Cushman, Rob Domenech, Ken Dyne, Charles Gauci, Dave Lord, Nathan Grange, Wayne Rogers, David J O’Connor, Ken Ring, Adrian Saw, Jonathan Royle, Christopher Berry, Jheff, Chuck Hickok, Peter Arcane and several routines by Paul Romhany

The Mental Epic Compendium is the definitive work on this classic of magic and mentalism, and is destined to become a classic in mentalism literature!
