"I think it's the best and most enjoyable piece I've ever written." -Bob Cassidy
The foundation of mind magic. Hailed as "the definitive resource for anyone interested in mind magic, and probably for most people interested in magic." Bob's list of 39 assorted books to read is valuable in itself because you not only get a list of books, but you also get the reasons why each book is so important. This allows you to judge for yourself whether or not you should read a particular book. The basic principles can be seen as Bob's assortment of important concepts from these 39 books.
The list of 39 books, or as Bob calls them "39 steps to spiritual magic" can be read here.
Bob mentioned in an interview that this work has an unfortunate name because many people look at it and think, "The basics - oh, I already know all the basics." However, these are not just the basics for beginners; these are primarily the basics that intermediate and advanced mind magicians need to understand and internalize. Most of the mind magician's questions are answered in this work.
