English language edition,LIKE NEW, HC W/dj, 277 hardbound pages with elegant bound-in ribbon bookmark. An extensive bibliography has also been included.

2. "Something from Nothing" explores the topic of cold reading on a very practical level. The title was chosen to express the idea that the mentalist should be able to come on stage unaided and, with nothing in hand, simply read a spectator's mind.

Many topics are explored including: performance philosophy, precognition, telepathy, body language, voice inflection, developing one's intuitive sense, deductive reasoning, cultural anthropology, muscle reading, equivoque, casual observations, contact mind reading, medical observations, the skillful use of personal charm and psychology forces. The book also contains horoscopy and tarot cards notes.

"Something from Nothing" comes with a large glossary of mentalist terms, an extensive mentalism bibliography and a collection of cold reading one-liners.
