mysteriously appeared on the magical scene but a few years ago. Nobody has quite discovered where he came from but in no time, everybody knew he was here. Today, known through out the world, Corinda has been ac claimed as inventor, writer and teacher of Mentalism—the art of mindreading. Whilst on tour in America, his friends persuaded him to write a book and with the support of nearly every pro fessional Mentalist in the world, Corinda set out to compile The Thirteen Steps to Mentalism. After two years the series was published Step by Step. Without the advice of friends and invaluable assistance of the Publisher, Harry Clarke, the task would have been impossible. However, Corinda suc ceeded in producing what has now become the only real encyclopedia of mental magic. For this, he has received many honours — including recognition from The Magic Circle who awarded him membership to the Inner Circle with Gold Star—a covetous award. Today Corinda maintains the standard of his work. As specialist in Mentalism, he keeps busily engaged in the running of two magic Studios and month by month, the world sees some thing new from the young man who decided to arrive from mid air and become an authority among experts.
