Product reviews for Secrets of Stage Mindreading

Ormond McGill was in Australia in 1990 and I well remember attending the three day course he conducted and being entertained on the Saturday night with a Magic and Hypnosis show he presented.

McGill is a prolific writer who shares his vast knowledge on a wide range of subjects with the main focus on Magic and Hypnotism. “Ormond McGill is also a naturalist of prominence, his contributions in entomology and conchology being well known in these fields.”

Here is a book that is fascinating in every way. The first part of the book covers the historical, documented experiments conducted in the late 1800's on mind reading. “Psychic channel connection” is discussed, exercises are given for practising and McGill says “Time and space are non existent in the realm of thought. And never look upon telepathy as being something mystical. It may be supernormal, but it's most certainly not supernatural.”

Development exercises on Mindreading are explained, show routines are shared and the goal is to produce a “Great Show”, with the encouraging words “Practice! Practice! Practice!” urging the reader on.



As Hypnotherapists, we “dance” with our clients when in rapport. We observe subtle signals displayed by our clients and having considered the content of this book, I see the relevance of developing a finer attunement and if it is called “Mindreading”, so be it.
