SAM 94 Lectures -- Bob Cassidy
The Society of American Magicians #94
is proud to be the place for magic lectures in the
San Francisco Bay Area...
Bob Cassidy lectured for our club in December of 1997. We usually draw a fairly good sized crowd. This lecture on mentalism was no exception as you can see.
Here's Bob doing one of his mind reading effects where he's about to draw what the woman was drawing. Cool!
After the lecture people spent quite a while asking questions and Bob was happy to answer every question --- and to help people one-on-one with anything they were having difficulty with.
Here's the announcement that we ran prior to Bob's lecture:
Mentalism
Bob will be lecturing on the techniques of mentalism. Together with his most popular routines, he will discuss and demonstrate the fundamental skills and methods to create the illusion of "real" mindreading.
Bob Cassidy has been a performing mentalist for twenty-five years. His performing credits are extensive, ranging from Holland America Cruises to Hollywood's Magic Castle. His previously published works include: Pseudomentally Yours, The Art of Mentalism, The Art of Mentalism 2, Principia Mentalia, and numerous contributions to such periodicals as Vibrations, Invocation, and Bascom Jones' Magick. Currently, Bob is the editor and main contributor to Quintessence, the Journal for Psychic Entertainers.
Bob is a founding member of The Psychic Entertainers Association and a member of New York's Legendary 13. He was recently appointed director of the Northwest Field unit of the Office of Paranormal Investigations. He denies any affiliation with the Bavarian Illuminati, saying simply, "We don't exist, so don't ask."
