THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF THE COMPLEAT FORTUNE-TELLER

My first new book in eight years, this book is the third (well fourth, if you count Q and A My Way) on the Q and A Act. It's the third in the Compleate Fortune-Teller Series. THis book discusses a wide variety of topics including building premise and persona, marketing, incorporating readings into the Q and A Act, Pseudo-Psychometry, and my wrinkles on the Au-Natural" Q and A Presentation. At 100 pages, next to Heavy Mental, my longest book yet. Also includes biting satire and social commentary.

Palmistry Books. People always ask me when I'm going to write a book on readings. Well--I did. Three of them... These three books reveal everything I know about the art and craft of reading hands. Mentalists, who can "read between the lines" of these books will benefit tremendously. I've also included here the book I assisted Craig Karges in writing.
