Magic Review - PK Mentalism Pocket Book by Peter Turner & Ellusionist

David from Magic Orthodoxy delivers a thorough review of the "PK Mentalism Pocketbook" by Peter Turner and Ellusionist, a resource he's genuinely excited about given his appreciation for Turner's previous work. This 255-page, pocket-sized paperback isn't a hardback, but it's designed to be a practical, well-used guide to mastering PK (Psychokinesis) mentalism, featuring contributions from over 24 creators. The book covers a wide range of routines and concepts, including Peter Turner's signature "Midas Touch," classic techniques like the Whisper Routine and Spirit Writing, and modern integrations like cell phone use. It also includes routines like the Coin Heat Effect. Beyond specific tricks, the book provides valuable advice on cleaning up PK routines and integrating PK principles into other magical effects. Crucially, the book comes with a 44-minute video download featuring detailed blocking instructions from Peter Turner, covering his own routines and offering advice for others. While the $150 price tag might seem steep for a self-printed paperback, David argues it's a worthwhile investment considering the wealth of information, the number of contributors, and the included video. He ultimately recommends it to serious performers looking to elevate their PK mentalism and build a strong reputation.
