The
Classic Text on Readings
If
you've been in the mentalism and psychic entertainment community
for any length of time, you are probably aware that in the
early 1990s, there were primarily three main authors the
aspiring psychic reader had to study -- the "Big
Three", so to speak -- Richard Webster, Herb
Dewey and Ron Martin. Between these three thinkers,
the very nature of psychic readings was transformed (and
some readers, as well, I would wager) and brought into the
modern era.
As
one of the "Big Three" authorities on psychic
readings, Ron Martin is especially qualified to teach you
everything you need to know about readings, including the
best way to prepare for a session, the right things to say,
and how to make a real impact on your clients. With over
30 years of experience as a reader, it's interesting to
note that Ron continues to work as a full-time professional,
presenting both private readings and public workshops, as
well as entertaining at exclusive high-end private parties.
When
talking with fellow readers, it's noteworthy that one single
book is often mentioned as being perhaps the most influential:
Ron Martin's TAROT READER'S NOTEBOOK. Although I'm
only speaking for myself here, I know many others who share
my view that this book changed how I presented Tarot readings
to my clients. The curious thing is, however, that the book
isn't about the Tarot cards themselves, but how to transform
mediocre (perhaps even boring) Tarot readings into something
entirely meaningful and entertaining.
The
scope of the TAROT READER'S NOTEBOOK covers everything
from the moment the client sits down to long after the reading
is over . . . and everything in between. Ron reveals how
to turn a run-of-the-mill Tarot reading into a small theatrical
masterpiece, and explains in detail not only what to do,
but all of the psychological reasoning as well.

Not
A Tarot Reader?
No
problem. Although the focus of the TAROT READER'S NOTEBOOK
is on Tarot readings, a little bit of thought will reveal
to you how to apply Ron's ingenious techniques to any
type of reading system. The psychological and presentational
principles taught in this book work for every style of reading,
which means that regardless of the system you use, you will
be able to improve the effectiveness of your readings in
a very short time.
However,
if you've been thinking about taking the plunge and beginning
to give Tarot readings, you couldn't pick a better place
to start. While Ron doesn't cover the individual meanings
of the cards, he does provide you with a fully annotated
list of books to learn from, and let's you know which ones
are worthwhile picking up (as well as which ones aren't!).
What
is Mechanical Magick?
Using
Ron's system for readings, you will be able to weave a magical
spell by hardly lifting a finger. However, if you really
want to go the extra mile and convince your clients and
audience that there is something, well . . . special
about you . . . that you really have "the goods"
. . . Ron shares his special bag of tricks that will leave
no doubt in anyone's mind. You'll learn about . . .

Bigger
. . . Better ... And Now On CD!
Originally
published 15 years ago, an authorized edition of the TAROT
READER'S NOTEBOOK has been difficult to obtain for some
time now. As you might imagine, when Ron decided to release
the new edition, he was eager to add all of the new ideas,
tips and techniques he's come up with since the original
137-page edition came out, and as a result the new edition
is considerably larger (it's now 206 pages!).
Not
only that, but the new and improved TAROT READER'S NOTEBOOK
now comes exclusively as an Adobe PDF e-book.
Many
people will immediately recognize the main benefit of having
the TAROT READER'S NOTEBOOK in digital form . . .
Searchability!
Now
when you want to find all of the references to the word
"pendulum", for example, all you have to do is
enter the word into the Search field, and Adobe Reader lists
all occurances of the word, with the surrounding context
as well. Talk about a time-saver . . .
Of
course, some people prefer the printed page over the computer
screen, and there's nothing to prevent them from printing
out some or even all of the book. Luckily, it's easy to
print an Adobe document, either from your own computer's
printer or the nearest Kinko's.
Oh,
and there's another distinct advantage to a CD release .

The
Bonus Audio Interview
In
the Preface to the TAROT READER'S NOTEBOOK, Ron writes
. . .
|
"Another
thing I find useful when I read an author's work is
to flip to the photo of the author inside the cover
and read the paragraph or two about the author. It
gives me some idea of what kind of person this information
is coming from. It may have a bearing on how I evaluate
what is being said."
|
Well,
with the use of a CD as a publishing medium, it's a snap
to include an audio file, and that's exactly what we've
done. After we'd finished the editing of the new edition,
Ron and I spoke over the phone, covering not only subjects
from the book, but other material that isn't in any
of Ron's books.
Things
like . . . his childhood experiences with Spiritualism .
. . how he got started in psychic fairs . . . how he runs
them now . . . philosophical insights into readings . .
. plus a whole lot more.
What
a great opportunity to hear someone with Ron's background
and experience -- it's just like if you were to pick up
the phone and shoot the breeze for an hour or so with one
of the greatest thinkers in the field.

"If
I had to choose one book that influenced me dramatically
in my reading career, it is the book that you have
in your hands right now.
This
book changed my professional reading life from one
that got several readings a month for a few dollars
each, to one that now has several full length readings
a week at a very high price per reading.
Add
to that a few home parties a month and some corporate
gigs, and I have become one of the busiest and highest
paid readers in the NYC area."

By
following Ron's advice, you too can go from doing just a
few low-paying readings a month to whatever level you aspire
to.
