I don't consider myself a guru, but I did once sell an e-book above the $15 price (I think it was around $20). If you think about that, you'll do things differently. It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. The New Chelman book is delightful! Message: These are the two things I consider before purchasing something.

Its full of working material, the book itself is a piece of art ( for those lucky enough to posses one). On 13:35, THB wrote: A whole book of christian chelman is for 100 euros. Message:Ī whole book of christian chelman is for 100 euros. But.it's an easy way to make an extra 15 grand a year, every year. Fumbly, floppy, rambly and, usually, low-pop effects. I've followed a few vids of these cornucopias of mediocrity in action and their performances in real life are abysmal. I doubt their 'performances' would be acceptable by anyone. Mike, not only does the Emporer have no clothes, he's pretty gaunt and scrawny. Where can I buy these no-clothes? downloads?

If they wanna' charge $15 for an ebook I might support them but no way am I paying $250 for another steaming pile of "new". I'm done with the new kids, done with the self-described gurus who talk a good game but won't allow their performances to be seen by us. Give me thoughtful creators like Bruce Bernstein, Bob Cassidy, Doug Dyment, Ted Karmilovich and Richard Mark to name a few. When we flatter people for their mediocre work it takes away from our praise of excellent work, and there is so much excellent work out there. Instead, buyers quietly and politely dump these books in the "Let's Make a Magic Deal" forum. Yet these creators seem to be nice guys and no one wants to write a bad review. I guess they work for audiences full of followers and can say and do many things without scrutiny, things I can't get away with in a show for skeptics at the university. It's a psychological ploy to make people value the material more buyers want what's harder to attain." Or worse, "This author is a flim-flam man and the Magic Café is where he finds his willing marks." Maybe I'm the only one who doesn't get it, but I feel this way most often about material created by guys who are "playing it for real". Has anyone ever seen him perform?" Sometimes I think, "This book is mediocre and the price is high to make it seem more wonderful than it is. I find myself thinking, "Why are folks at the Café raving about this new book? Who is this guy? Are they all his friends? He's okay but he isn't any more creative than my friends in mentalism are. Meanwhile Banachek's entire PS trilogy costs $165 and includes both psy-forces and workhorse routines that frankly leave the new books in the dust.

Some buyers will pay over $200 for one book of psychological forces they could have easily thought of for themselves, plus a few decent effects thrown in (but never enough to justify the price). Their volumes are full of interesting yet mostly unreliable material, usually including a few effects that work well but aren't groundbreaking. What's hard to understand is the cult following these creators have despite their very expensive, limitedrelease books. I like the idea of taking risks alongside surefire methods because it can result in unexplainable moments that bolster the whole effect. By risky, I mean sometimes it works and sometimes it fails to produce a good effect. There are a few hot creators in the mentalism market who produce a lot of risky material.
