Britain's favourite illusionist takes the reader on a journey into the structure and psychology of magic, teaching how to read clues in people's behaviour and spot liars, in this guide. Brown's amazing TV shows, such as "The Seance" and "Russian Roulette" have cemented his reputation as a master manipulator, and this book sold over 100,000 copies in hardback. As well as showing how to improve memory skills and plant suggestions, he also takes a long hard look at the paranormal industry and why some feel the need to believe in it.
