Written by the mastermind Phedon Bilek, formatted by the ever-so-talented Phill Smith, and printed by Haresign Press, Orion was touted as a future classic—and it didn’t just meet expectations, it smashed them! With a unanimous rave, a Book of the Year accolade, and modern classic status under its belt, its reputation is now a solid fact, not just a whimsical promise.
Within its hefty 600+ pages, you’re in for a treat: pure, minimalist, groundbreaking mentalism that thrives in real-world, prop-less scenarios. Forget nail writers, impression pads, and all that gimmicky nonsense. We're talking over 100 methods, tools, and subtleties meticulously crafted to convince your audience that you’ve plucked their thoughts right out of their heads.
Phedon lays out some seriously clever techniques for pulling meaning from a mere word or name, with each routine accompanied by full scripts, so you can dive in, adapt, and perform quicker than you can say “abracadabra.”
In true Sibyl fashion, the methods in Orion are refreshingly simple, modular, and endlessly adaptable—designed to slip into your style like a well-fitted glove and jazz up your existing repertoire.
But Orion isn’t just a collection of methods. It’s Phedon’s vision of mentalism, laid bare: intimate, disarming, and deeply human. A philosophy that teaches you how to see, feel, and manipulate the impossible.
Now available in its Bronze Edition, Orion presents a cohesive, single-volume version of the original masterpiece. Through insightful essays and complete performance scripts, Phedon invites you into the inner workings of his most praised pieces, equipping you with the tools to spark creativity and push towards authenticity.
With over 20 performance-ready pieces, revolutionary techniques, countless subtleties, and 10 meaty "discussions," Orion isn’t merely a book; it’s an invitation to wade into Phedon’s world—and stroll alongside him on the endless journey towards being the real deal.
"This project is pure gold, and it bears testament to the creative genius of Phedon. All of his work is unquestionably amazing, but Orion is nothing short of a masterpiece."

"I have NEVER found, with remarkably ultra rare exceptions, so much value in ANY book or resource as I have in Orion.

- Jerome Finley
"The fundamental concepts in Orion are a work of genius, and they will leave your audience with no choice but to believe that you are reading their minds. I'm blown away by Phedon's methods; this is groundbreaking work for all mentalists."
- Millard Longman
"Phedon's approach to mentalism fascinates me, and this beautifully written 600-page tour de force of powerful mentalism is a major contribution to our art. Five stars."
- Richard Webster
"Orion contains 600 pages of extraordinary, elegant mentalism. In the course of teaching truly innovative, powerhouse routines, Phedon reveals the set of tools he has crafted to achieve his singular vision of how mentalism should be performed and experienced. Once learned, these tools, wildly creative yet relatively simple in application, will serve as an invaluable resource that will set your work apart. The "modular" quality of the methods allows you to mix and match techniques as you will, stimulating the reader's creativity. What Phedon does is accessing not only thoughts, but the way of thoughts. He teaches how to take seeming intangibles, like the ways people think, and sculpt them as if they existed in the realm of objects. Similarly, he manipulates and applies emotions, so they function almost as if they are sleights. Finally, he unveils his groundbreaking ways of taking minimal information and spinning it into a revelation that rivals the finest presentations along these lines extant. What Phedon extracts from a name or a word is beyond anything else that I am familiar with. This is very different from Push/Probe, cold-reading like extrapolations.
Overall, Orion is an explosion of original thinking and I am confident that Phedon's latest will be considered a classic mentalism text"
