Second Thoughts - Memoirs of a Mindreader by Richard Osterlind

Description

This is not a book about tricks, performing advice, or magical philosophy: it is a book of stories. Richard has spent over 50 years traveling the world performing mentalism...and a lot of strange things have happened to him! The most memorable - and entertaining - are recorded in these pages.

Second Thoughts - Memoirs of a Mind Reader is meant to be an entertaining and thrilling read and only that. Whether it is about Richard almost getting stranded In Beijing, coming close to losing his life in Monte Carlo, or nearly knocking himself unconscious on stage in Bermuda, now that these events are in the distant past, he can look back on them, laugh, and have fun writing them all down. Richard has always loved reading stories about other magicians' lives and we're hoping you do, also. Since many of you know Richard personally (or, at least, from his videos), you will be able to imagine him squirming to get out of these various precarious predicaments! What fun!

Some of you might think these stories are just too outlandish to be true and that Richard must have exaggerated them! He can promise you that is not the case. They are all totally factual in every respect and happened just as he described. There was no attempt to "spruce them up." When he tells you of him being in Okinawa driving a car with right hand drive while blindfolded and Japanese producers sitting in the car screaming in his ears in fear, that's truly what happened!

Richard has tried to record all of this in a very entertaining way to make you feel as if you are almost reading a novel. His intent in writing this all down was his desire to simply want you to have a good time! So, if you just want to sit back, relax, and read some incredible tales, we think you will love this book!
