On one side of this 180-page hardcover is a reprint of H.J. Burlingame's 1907 paperback release How to Read People's Minds" which includes some history on muscle reading and how it works, along with a fascinating section on training your dog to read minds!

Give the book a flip over and you have Banachek's "Psychophysiological Thought Reading"! This section not only covers more details on the history of muscle reading, but also teaches updated effects using muscle reading as it is performed today by performers including Derren Brown, and Banachek himself. These effects are used onstage and close-up in routined and impromptu performances.

"Psychophysiological Thought Reading is a must-have for anyone interested in learning contact-mind reading, and when combined with Burlingame, also a must-have for anyone interested in mentalism history. It is the most complete treatment of ideomotor effects I have seen written for mentalists." -Christopher Carter "
