The Mentalist Magazine?

[Sam Kesler]

Anyone care to comment on the material in The Mentalist, now reissued? Thanks.

Over 40 years ago, with a small mailing list of loyal followers and some of Mentalisms top contributors, a small publication made its way into circulation. And after it had ceased publication after several years only a few sets we sold and it seemed to have disappeared into the darkness.

AB StageCraft is proud to announce the release of The complete THE MENTALIST available now! With over 140 pages and contributors that included U. F. Grant, T.a. Waters, Nick Trost, Eddie Clever, Jack Dean, Dai Vernon, and many more, these pages are packed full of good workable mentalism that is now ready for a brand new audience.
