My Magic

I have been fascinated with magic since childhood.  I got my first magic kit when I was about 10 and I did (poorly) most of the included tricks.  I got my first real trick when I was 15 and went to Las Vegas for a high school band trip.  I was hooked.  For half my life I have been collecting magic.  I started with trick decks and gaffed coins and have been progressively moving on.  This page is a listing of what I have in my magic collection.

This is Mentalism

"I'm into effects that cause a confusion between clapping, crying and shutdown. I like it when I know it hits them harder later... and they talk about it and grab me years later to tell ME about it like I was not there. This is what this DVD is all about, striking them where they are most vulnerable.... the mind." Rich Ferguson is a world-renowned performer with a list of high-profile clients. It’s been a close guarded secret to why Rich Ferguson get’s requested personally by Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell or Courtney Cox to do their private gigs. Now, 11 of those secrets are contained in his latest collection, “This is Mentalism” where Rich strikes them all in the most vulnerable place... the mind. "This is Mentalism” is filled with 11 powerful, practical effects that let you reach into people’s minds, steal their thoughts and spill those secrets right out on the table. In the past, these types of feats required lengthy setups and preparation. Rich has developed these effects to be impromptu, quick on the draw and forcefully impressive. Practicality is no longer an issue.

My comment: This DVD has a solid mix of routines. It is based on the premise that mentalism doesn't have to be separate from magic - they can be one in the same. The DVD succeeds!
