Second Sight, or Two-Person Telepathy, is the most difficult of all magic acts to perfect. That is why very few magicians attempt it. A very small number of those who did manage to succeed, actually performed it with animals and machines! Whether you would like to present this amazing art, or just wish to know more about the colourful characters who accomplished it, you will definitely learn something new here. This is part of award winning Magic Circle Historian Professor Edwin A. Dawes’ comments about the book: I'm full of admiration for the research that Bob has carried out over the years… this book represents the first in-depth treatment of Two-Person Telepathy, its practitioners and its history, and is destined to occupy an important place amongst the standard reference texts of magic. We should all be grateful to Bob for having undertaken this daunting project and expanding our knowledge in such an impressive and entertaining manner. Magazine Review Genii The Conjurors’ Magazine Review June 2022. By David Britland Typical comments: It is a vast survey and very enjoyable. It almost feels as if you are having a conversation with Loomis… The text is friendly, infused with Bob Loomis’s personality and peppered with his humour. This makes for an easy and entertaining read…. It’s an unconventional way of approaching history but one that keeps the brain engaged, perhaps because the author’s own passion for the topic comes through… The book is a repository of information about a curious profession, and I’d recommend it to mentalists, historians, and those fascinated by one of the quirkier aspects of magical entertainment. Linking Ring Review July 2022 By Rolando Santos Typical comments: Our craft would be significantly less enlightened without researcher extraordinaire Bob Loomis’ decades-long efforts to research largely unexplored areas of magic… A First Look at Second Sight, is an excellent compilation of significant but often overlooked second sight or two-person telepathy acts. The book is packed with facts, insights, and techniques into one of the most challenging acts in magic… Loomis has created an organized and engaging presentation of the people, theatrical themes, and methods that form the foundation of modern-day mentalism, telepathy, spiritualism, and mystery entertainment. The book presents a series of guidelines and tips and uses examples of performers that successfully integrated that point into their acts…. Loomis’ decades of meticulous research means A First Look at Second Sight has information that most of us would never even know existed, much less have access to study…. Once again, Loomis has exceeded his own goals by providing an exceptional reference book, study guide, and research aide for less than fifteen dollars. Without a doubt, A First Look at Second Sight is a must-have book for any magic, mentalism, and mystery entertainment library….Highly recommended.
