Absurd About Astrology: The Complete Works by Christopher Parrish

Turn a star sign into a personal mentalism revelation

Absurd About Astrology: The Complete Works by Christopher Parrish focuses on more than discovering a spectator's zodiac sign. It explores how to reveal that information in a way that suits the person, the setting and your performance style.

Across more than 230 pages and 22 chapters, Parrish teaches methods, subtleties, outs and routines for star-sign mentalism. The emphasis is on presentational freedom: once you have the information, you can choose a revelation that feels right for the moment rather than being locked into a single script.

What you'll explore

• Star-sign acquisition and revelation: narrow the possibilities before the demonstration begins, then transition into an astrological presentation.
• Conversational reveals: develop a revelation within an interaction rather than treating it as an isolated guessing exercise.
• Direct mind-reading and mystical presentations: choose from different styles of performance.
• Propless, billet-based and printable everyday-carry approaches: work with a range of methods and routines.
• Full performance scripts: study how the material can be framed for individuals or groups.

Without anagrams or lengthy fishing

The material avoids anagrams, confusing linguistic terminology and long-winded fishing methods. The methods and routines are not restricted to English, giving performers scope to adapt the material beyond English-language presentations.

This is a book about performing astrological mentalism, not a general guide to astrology. It is aimed at mentalists who want practical options for secretly acquiring star-sign information and turning it into a memorable piece of entertainment.

Use the collection to explore different approaches, develop your own presentation and make the reveal the focus of the experience.
