In addition to the seminal work of The Art of Mentalism, Cassidy has published 53 eBooks and one MP3 audio, available from Chris Wasshuber’s. Cassidy’ original book, generated updated versions 2 and 3, and it engendered subsequent Cassidy contributions to the craft, including The Artful Mentalism of Bob Cassidy (H&R Magic Books, Humble, Texas, 2002) Bob Cassidy’s Mentalism, a DVD he produced in 2002 and The Black Box Cinema, a DVD produced by Meir Yedid, Fair Lawn, New Jersey, in 2007. The 1982 book, in hard cover, followed his paperback Pseudomentally Yours, published in 1977 (Invocation Supplement #2, Bob Lynn, Waldwick, New Jersey). Since publishing The Art of Mentalism in 1982 (Collectors Workshop, Washington, D.C.), the book and its updated sequels (including Art of Mentalism 2 and The Art of Mentalism 3) have become hornbooks to the mentalism world, required reading for anyone who wants to move beyond mental magic and remain entertaining while presenting mentalism with minimum props. He has performed internationally, has been widely published in the industry, is well known at the Magic Castle and MindVention. He has been a long-time prolific contributor to the art, following in the footsteps of Ted Annemann and “The Jinx” on this art.
In 1978 he was one of five who founded the renowned Psychic Entertainers Association (P.E.A), an exclusive small circle of psychic entertainers from around the world, and which consists of mentalists, bizarrists, hypnotists, readers, and allied artists, including full-time, part-time, and retired entertainers.Ĭassidy is colorful and widely known and accomplished in psychic entertainment he has strong opinions about the art and he generates strong opinions from those who have known him. He is an entertainer, author, and lecturer and is one of the more influential creators of modern mentalism.Ĭassidy is known and acclaimed throughout the world for his support of the mentalism community. He’s one of those rare people who are often simply referred to by last name only – Cassidy.
He’s a self-styled irreverent who claims to be more comfortable in motorcycle bars than hoity-toity venues. These luminaries continue to shape and mold the art to the benefit of both layman and fellow artist such as us.īob Cassidy is an enigma, a man of mystery who is himself a mystery. Joe Stevens started these awards in attempt to show recognition to those in the industry of both magic an mentalism, that continue to represent the art with dignity and respect. We are very excited and proud to announce Bob Cassidy as the 2017 Annemann winner, in our annual award presentations at Stevens Magic Emporium. Bob Cassidy – Recipeint 2017 Annemann Award
