A State of Mind by Dennis Hermanzo

A State of Mind is in the same style as what he has become known for with his other books... making memorable mentalism by using classical principles with audience-tested routines from his own repertoire! In other words, stuff that works in the "real world!" 
This book will teach you 19 powerful, direct, hard-hitting and high-impact mentalism routines using classic props and everyday items. These routines are meant for the working, performing mentalist whose goal is to project a powerful impact on his audience! 

It also contains four longer essays in which Dennis goes deeper into his views on how to become a better performer, how to overcome stage fright and much more. 
If you are a fan of Dennis's previous work, we are sure of that you will love this book! 

The book is full of creative and diabolical material accomplished with a minimum of props or sleights. All in classical mentalism style with the adaptations of simple, classic proven methods designed to "kill" lay people on stage and close-up. 

Hardbound featuring 296 pages chock full of illustrations, images, photos and content. Edited by: Bill Trotter. 

Here are some of the contents:

Foreword by Steve Drury
Head, Heart, and Imagination (Essay)
A Few Special Ones (A great opening piece that gets everyone involved, with a fun demonstration of psychology - it ends with a killer prediction.)

The Psychic Wife (Mind reading from afar!)
The Mind of a Rose (Three women, four roses and one finale with an emotional connection!)
No Hands, Just the Mind (A sweet demonstration of mind reading & then mind control, using a blindfold and two bottles of soda.)
A Question, an Answer... Let's Post-it (A Q&A/message reading act for just a few spectators.)
Piece of Mind (Essay)
Til Death Do Us Part (A shocking "one out of two" effect.)
The Chairman of Power (A chair routine with only one chair that is actually fun for the spectators to watch!)
Intuition vs Poker Face (A demonstration of how a woman's intuition always wins over a man's poker face. This is one of Dennis's favorite pieces that he has ever performed!)
Easy Card Calling (An easy card-calling effect using an ungimmicked deck of cards.)
