The book in detail:
“One more degree in mentalism” - Markobi
There are books that do not leave you indifferent. Works which, when you read the last page, provoke a deep questioning. Blue blood and stars is one of those.
« Magic is dead. This is the first step towards his resurrection. » - Valentin Danneville
This work is made up of two parts:
The first part takes stock of the current state of magic. And there was a need. The author not only gives an informed opinion on the question, but concretely shows how our art has found itself losing its primary function: to amaze. Most magicians impress with a show of strength, trying to prove their superiority through their technique, forgetting that what makes real magic is what is around them. There is no doubt that Quentin Metenier's words will make any magician who really wants to progress in his art think and grow.
"There are good books, important books, and then there are necessary books. This one is, necessary.
When an art falters under the very hand of those who claim to defend it, two options remain: to profess its end with resignation, or to prune one's words to rekindle the fire. Quentin chose the second option. This book pushes aside noise and posturing to create a vision. It puts the responsibility of creating something that matters in the hands of magicians.
In this, it is not only useful, it is urgent.
It is a text that burns, that disturbs, that enlightens. And which could well become, for our art, one of those tipping points that we recognize after the fact.
A necessary book, therefore. And an author who is no less so." - Sacha Dumery
The second part is devoted to the author’s routines. Don't expect to see yet another version of card counting, or the new aspirational card in fashion. These Tricks are real slaps, real miracles in their own right. Quentin not only reveals the technique of an effect, he gives the substance that makes it work, he gives the text that hits the mark. In short, he shares his universe with you, where dramaturgy, emotion and magic mix.
“Rare are the works in mentalism that question me about my own practice beyond providing me with new techniques or tools. Blue blood and stars is one of them. Beyond the very interesting reflection on mentalism present there, each proposed routine is a call for elegance, for the use of a simple technique to bring out a phenomenon, where the unexpected and the spectator really exist. If you feel uncomfortable with a proposed routine or idea, whether or not you align with the style in question, you know you have a powerful idea. And that's what's in there. Powerful ideas. » - Taha Mansour
“To all those who believe in meaningful magic, to curious souls who seek themselves and see in our art a passage towards a form of awakening. You hold an impulse in your hands. » - Thomas Lefranc
“You would think that this book would introduce you to healing mentalism but it is much bigger than that. It sets you free. » - Clement Nourry
“We should start with this book before having the first magic box, it would save us all from becoming shit” - Nicolas Nargeot
