Perception is Everything by Bruce Bernstein

Effect: One of my best sellers! It includes two effects: Pseudo – Telepathy and The Ritual, which I consider to be among the best I’ve ever created. Also included is The Opener…my own approach to using psychological forces to open a show, and three effects from the long out of print Psi-Tech  (The Croiset Affair; Into The Infinite; A Sporting Prediction) that I’ve been asked to reprint for years. If you like cutting edge Mentalism, then this is the book for you! 

It contains 6 detailed routines:

• The Opener
• Pseudo-Telepathy
• The Ritual
• The Croiset Affair
• Into The Infinite
• A Sporting Prediction

Ted Karmilovich: “Bruce Bernstein is my kind of thinker. PERCEPTION IS EVERYTHING is my kind of Mentalism.” 
 
Barrie Richardson: “Bruce Bernstein looks like such a nice person, but he is a devil. His newest book, PERCEPTION IS EVERYTHING has six devious and entertaining routines.” 
 
“PSEUDO-TELEPATHY is a break-through concept in Mentalism. Participants feel that somehow the performer can enter your mind and “steal” a thought. I say this because I had this chilling experience.” 
 
“THE RITUAL is a near perfect routine. The theme may be adapted to many venues. Bad thoughts do rob us of our strength, and this propless and highly visible routine demonstrates this in a believable fashion.” 
 
“THE SPORTING PREDICTION has to be the cleverest method in Mentalism to present a double prediction.” 
 
Richard Busch: “It has been said that if one receives even one usable effect in a book of Magic or Mental effects, than one has received their moneys worth. Bruce doesn’t give one usable effect. He gives entire routines so well thought out, that the reader must remember that what he is doing is supposedly impossible.” 
 
“PSEUDO-TELEPATHY is a damned masterpiece with over a half dozen variations and alternate handlings. This is the type of direct, innovative, easy to follow thinking I wish all Mentalists could convey with words.” 
 
“THE RITUAL” is an expanded, framed, theatrical extension of his own pre-existing ideas, and now makes perfect sense. What power a thought alone can have.” 
 
Mark Strivings: “Bruce is simply one of the brightest minds in the world of Mentalism. His books are highly sought after, and treasured by all who love good Mentalism. This new tome is no exception.” 
 
“THE OPENER is just that – a great opener for any mental program. It immediately involves everyone in the room, and also allows you to narrow down a spectator for your next effect. Killer stuff!” 
 
“PSEUDO-TELEPATHY is an amazingly flexible approach to a telepathic theme that breaks some new ground. You get to cleanly read the thoughts of four on stage spectators. This alone is worth the price of the book.” 
 
“THE RITUAL is Bruce’s new approach to his already classic Masklyn’s Ring and takes it to new heights.” 
 
“THE CROISET AFFAIR, INTO THE INFINITE, and A SPORTING PREDICTION are all reprinted from his long out of print book PSI-TECH. Each one is a reputation maker! 
 
Charles Pecor: “In PERCEPTION IS EVERYTHING, Bruce Bernstein gives a clinic in using the perceptions of the audience to create the effect, proving once again that it’s not what they saw or heard that makes the ‘magic’, but what they think they saw or heard. Pay special attention to THE CROISET AFFAIR and THE RITUAL.”
