BASIL HORWITZ'S MENTAL MAGICK
julien losa
What do Luke Jermay, Andy Nyman, Marc Paul have in common?
Horwitz basil.
Basil Horwitz has influenced (and continues to influence) their mentalism and that of so many others, and this for decades! ...
In 1978, the Magicassettes came out in English in which he described his best routines orally ... Faced with the success of the latter followed the 5 volumes of The Mental Magick of Basil Horwitz (a transcription in the form of cassettes books).
It is with pride that today these foundation books are made available to you in French, in the form of two volumes!
With respect for original editions, I decided to keep the original illustrations and to subtitle them.
I hope you have so much fun tasting the "mental magic" of Basil Horwitz as I had it during the development of this project.

What the pros say:
"When I had the first basil book in my hands, I couldn't come back.
Finally a mentalism that corresponded to everything I was looking for. It was
Clean, simple in the plot and direct.
In fact, the more I worked in his reading, the more surprised and frustrated by the
Similar to Romain de Fetes hanging was a reaction that we have devoted
The cing pages approximately. I particularly feel indebted towards Basil because
I partially built my reputation on one of its routines (if you think I
will tell you which one, stop dreaming). "
- Andy Nyman
"Too often, the artists of the magic world who forge a great reputation
end up falling somewhere between the talented thinker who disappoints
When we see him in a special and the charismatic artist who makes the
Form compared to the bottom, impressive, certainly, but not always original.
It is rare to find someone who embodies all the elements of the
true artistic creation, combining a deep thought with a discreet style
of a capable presentation, to convince an entire room, was it composed of
profane or other magicians, that the one who is on stage is really
Someone special.
Not only are you going to learn and practice many of these routines, but
They will be used to charm and impress your spectators - it's
This resides all the beauty of mentalism such as practicing Basil Horwitz. "
