The routines focus on stage mentalism, but also have a dose of the bizarre with unusual presentations, dark tinged material, storytelling and even routines for sideshow performance. Many of the routines are suitable or adaptable for parlor or close up presentation as well.

Nothing is held back with full scripting, evolution, history and detailed explanations for each routine.

Performance is a visual art, and with this in mind, there are private links to performance videos of many of the routines, allowing you to see the pieces in action in front of live audiences.

Whether you are a new to mentalism, new to performance or an experienced performer who wants to see some different approaches to the classics of metalism, this book has something for you.

"I think your Embryos is full of charm! It's great to see a nice straight forward mixture of good solid techniques with left of center presentations." Iain Dunford
