When I first got involved with Mentalism, I was obsessed with the idea of being able to divine and predict thoughts with nothing more than my voice and my audiences’ thoughts. A lot of what was available to me at the time required too much mental gymnastics and finished with uninspiring outcomes that my audiences witnessed anything but a magical experience. During those days, my tongue was made of lead rather than silver.
Now, 8 years later, after much trial and error, I know what works, and what definitely doesn’t work, in the real-world regarding prop-less Mentalism. What Matt is offering here to novices is a resource I wish I had to inspire my journey into prop-less mind reading. I imagine with this resource by my side, it would have taken me a fraction of the time needed to “crack” free-flowing, poetic, near sure-fire, and powerful Prop-less Mentalism”

Matt Overd is without a doubt one of the finest propless creators today.
He is not just an excellent student but a fantastic contribution in the subtle psychology and philosophy of credible Mentalism.
Congratulations!

If you care about strong mentalism, this is for you.
The Staircase: Getting into mentalism without the dusty old tome A new multi-part series designed to be a modern, unofficial reimagining of 13 Steps to Mentalism. Rebuilt for the way mentalism is actually performed today.
Each step stands alone, yet together they form a complete pathway into contemporary performance.
This material is written for all levels:
beginners building a real foundation
experienced performers refining structure
working pros seeking purity without compromise
Step 1 — A Propless Mind
The first installment in the series.
Step 1 focuses on propless work that feels real, integrating method, structure, and philosophy so your mentalism stops looking like tricks and starts feeling like experiences.
Inside Step 1 you’ll find:
a complete, audience-tested propless act
structured scripting with room for your own style
clear psychological framing and performance philosophy
thinking that prioritises participant-led experience
methods that are simple, direct, and psychologically invisible
You’ll benefit from this if you:
want a strong starting point in mentalism
want to tighten your existing work
value clean methods and participant-driven performance
are curious about modern propless approaches
I priced this deliberately to make it accessible.
At 75 pages, Step 1 isn’t a short teaser or a collection of disconnected ideas, it’s a complete, usable step in your development as a performer.
