Mind, Myth & Magick by T.A. Waters - Book
Penguin Magic
Where dreams become miracles, and miracles become routines.
Step aside, amateurs--this isn’t just a book. This is an arsenal. A colossal, 828-page monolith forged from the genius of one of the most original minds in the history of mentalism: T.A. Waters.
Mind, Myth & Magick is no ordinary volume. It’s twenty-one books in one--a compendium of miraculous effects, bizarre magick, and razor-sharp thinking that reshaped the art form itself. From mind reading to mysticism, predictions to possession, this is the postgraduate course of the mental arts.
Have you ever dreamed of:
- Revealing a randomly shouted number--pinned to your back before the show even started?
- Foretelling the exact stranger who would sit in a specific seat in your audience?
- Summoning a sixteen-inch spirit in a seance lit by candlelight?
- Divining secret names, birth signs, and inner truths--without a single question asked?
T.A. Waters dreamed these things.
Then he did what few ever do--he made them real.
Inside this monumental work, you’ll find over 200 routines and effects. You’ll explore:
- Psychometry and book tests
- Spirit communication and symbol tests
- Astrological divination
- Billet work and Tarot applications
- And entire essays that will change the way you think about prediction, performance, and the art of mystery itself
More than just effects--this is a blueprint for a lifetime of unforgettable performances.
You’ve read Annemann. You’ve studied Corinda.
Now step into the deep waters.
This is the book that separates performers from legends.

"I’m thrilled that T.A. Waters’ Mind, Myth & Magick has been reprinted. Spanning over 800 pages, this book is a treasure trove of routines and ideas. It covers nearly every aspect of mentalism, offering page after page of practical, mind-blowing material for both professionals and amateurs alike. The effects are clearly written, powerful, and easy to follow. Learn from T.A. Waters—one of the greatest mentalists of our time. This book should be required reading for anyone serious about the art!" - Bill Malone
"If Corinda is the Bible of Mentalism, T.A. Waters is the New Testament." - Gaetan Bloom
"Mind, Myth & Magick is T.A. Waters' magnum opus, in which he brilliantly redefines the genre, blending pure mentalism and mental magic in equal measure. It is a mammoth, 800-page collection of 21 earlier books and the breadth of material on offer is staggering, it seems like every possible theme, presentation, trick and prop is explored and usually multiple times! Upon re-reading the whole book, two things really stood out to me: firstly, how inventive Waters was - you will regularly find yourself marvelling at how clever a method is, and there is a lot of material in this book that could have been marketed separately. Secondly, how smart and opinionated he was. His thoughts on mentalism and its performance permeate the book and demonstrate what a deep thinker and important voice he was. Essential reading, it's a cornerstone work that you simply must have in your library." - Mark Elsdon
"This book has provided me with years of enjoyment, ideas, and insight. You must own it to get the full impact. Among the 10 best in my library." - Marc Salem
