In Mentalissimo, John Bannon brings his talents to bear on mentalism and mental magic with playing cards. "I do card tricks, have a keen interest in mentalism and am a fanatic about the construction of magic tricks. For me, a book like this is just what I look for. All of the above; in one place."
You can expect: Squeaky-clean revelations of truly thought-of cards. Demonstrations of psychic ability that can't be explained simply as coincidence. Clear, commercial prediction systems. Offbeat treatments of classic mental effects from "Add-a-Number" to "Out of This World."
Thirty items are described and explained in twenty-one chapters. Almost all use regular unprepared cards. Two require a common gaffed card. Most are impromptu. A couple require a more-than-minimal stack. A few rely on easily-made external props. One employs a pack of ESP symbol cards. All are intelligently explained and laced with commentary and discussion. Come for the thought-provoking card effects; stay for the conversation.
"The more I study card magic and mentalism, the more impressed I am with John Bannon. His "lean and mean" style of construction and execution inspires me. His routines are hard hitting and fun to perform."

Well Worth the Lengthy Read
Format: Paperback
Enjoyed this book. Ron Chernow writes well, captures personalities and researches extensively. I went to Woodlands High School on an estate donated by the family. These were brilliant people who stood by their values and convictions while facing anti-semitism with grace and courage.

A brilliant family, cultural and business history
Format: Kindle
What starts out as the personal and business history of a deeply religious and close family, expands into a study of the disintegration and continued importance of family, religious and cultural ties, the sources of anti-semitism and a window into some of the most dramatic moments of war and peace in the 20th century. Brilliantly researched, and interestingly written, it touches on topic after topic of importance, without pretence, and without either glorifying or deprecating the many contributions of the many Warburg family members it follows. Deserving of some high award, for sure!

Wow ! What a great read
Format: Hardcover
I've read most of Ron Chernows books and they all are just overpowering. The history that you will learn is astounding, and it comes to you as a wonderfully told story. The Warburgs, will put the pieces of the history puzzle together from pre-WWI Germany to the Treaty of Versailles, WWII, post-WWII Germany, plus Warburg involvement with the creation of the current US Central Bank and service on the board of the Federal Reserve. The story covers the split of the family telling the stories of those who remained in Germany some of whom suffered death in the Holocaust, while others lost wealth, position, and sanity yet one remained relatively unscathed building a library of great works while in Germany through Hitler"s reign. The journey of the family is a European, American, and Anglo journey, of a family that prospered and suffered and prospered again leaving it's mark on history for the last three centuries, and still survives.

Very well researched, most informative and extremely well written.
Format: Hardcover
A talented writer, to say the least, Mr. Chernow seemed to research this remarkable book with the aim of painlessly educating even the most reluctant reader about an international banking family. He writes so well that this tome is a page turner: hard to put down, not the least boring even when the focus is on economics--the dismal science, as it is called--and helps one understand why many German Jews were heartbroken to leave Germany even during Hitler's regime. The Warburgs were an outstanding family with energy that seemed to know no bounds though some family members were stricken with diabetes, psychological illnesses and even poverty at times. Amazing! I highly recommend this wonderful book.
