Mental Epic is one of the most jaw-dropping effects in a mentalist's arsenal. Compiled and edited by the ever-creative Paul Romhany, the Mental Epic Compendium is a hefty 360 pages packed with fifty-four routines and ideas for this classic effect. It’s the definitive guide to this gem of magic and mentalism, and trust me, it’s set to become a staple in mentalism literature!
Hen Fetsch first dreamed up the board back in 1954, and since then, it’s seen its fair share of makeovers. Yet, most magicians and mentalists still cling to the original Hen Fetsch board like it’s an old friend. This book dives into routines for the standard Mental Epic prop and its shiny modern variations, plus One-Ahead routines that you can whip out close-up and impromptu using sticky notes, business cards, and index cards—no board required (because who doesn’t love a cheeky bit of versatility?).

"You only have to look at the list of contributors to know this book is special. I’m thrilled to find that they all love this effect as much as I do. I don’t think a book paying so much attention to a single effect has ever been published before."
- Richard Webster
"For those that perform Metal Epic (or a variation thereof) this book is a Must HAVE. For those that have considered performing Mental Epic (or a variation thereof) this book is a Must HAVE.
