2019 Book List and Recommendations

Happy Holidays my friends, I hope they've all gone well!  Welcome to 2015!     2014 was full of enriching endeavors for me and I'm going to take a bit of time to discuss one of the most important experiences of this past year...  It has been a little over a month since my good friend, mentalist  Andrew Mesmer  premiered his debut full length mentalism performance titled,  "Believe Me, You Won't"  at the  Performance Arts Studio in Port Jefferson .
