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 . . .

"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."

Professional Reader

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.
