Modern Mentalism is a collection of 14 effects from the mind of Matt Mello  spanning 2 volumes. It is one of the few DVDs on the market that appeals specifically to the entertainer that performs mentalism close up. Another unique feature of Modern Mentalism is the absence of sleight-of-hand methods and awkward props. Instead  Modern Mentalism uses clever principles  interesting plots and extremely simple methods to create a collection of close up mentalism worthy of both casual and professional performers.
