| Scott Grossberg's Vitruvian Square Mentalists Collector Edition IS SOLD OUT
Those of you who already have Scott's book “Bauta” know of Scott’s scholarly writing style and ability to really explore a subject in new and amazingly inspiring ways If you have purchased his Deck of Shadows or Keys, you know that he also likes sharing his expertise in arcane fields with anyone who has an interest.This is what Jerome Finley had to say in his introduction to this book: “ Welcome to “The Vitruvian Square.” Knowing what I know, I envy your position now and I’m thrilled about the incredible journey and path you’re about to step foot upon. Many months ago I contacted Scott Grossberg to seek his advice on something that had been deeply troubling me. Extremely impressed with Scott’s live readings and radio performances, his former works, “The Masks of Tarot” and “Bauta”, and his oracle cards, “The Deck of Shadows”, I was certain I had contacted the proper man for this particular issue. At the time I had recently crossed over from doing readings with one oracle (system, method, and approach) into new and uncharted territory that was foreign to me on the level at which I was practicing. I had fallen flat on my face multiple times now, HARD, and I didn’t want that to happen again. I realized immediately that I had to grow, adapt, evolve, and then expand my tools and refresh my approach to what I call, “The Art and Science of Knowing Other People.” There had to be an answer and I was confident that Scott Grossberg had it, knew of it, or could point me in the right direction to find it. I couldn’t have been more correct! I contacted Scott out of pure necessity and we spoke for some hours about the special problems and issues I was experiencing. Besides providing me with volumes of priceless insights and invigorating approaches to what I was doing, Scott told me there was something else he had been working with privately for several years now . . . something he called, “The Vitruvian Square.” Little did I realize that Scott was actually tipping (for the very first time) HIS OWN superb system and approach for giving deep and impactful readings; a system composed of equally balanced parts built and maintained with a sort of elegance and harmony only a Master could deliver. What appeared then was a systematic approach to the “art of knowing others” – a cohesive structure, path of logic, and school of wisdom (as functional as any oracle could provide or hope to offer) which not only allowed for one’s natural knowing, intuition, and creativity to flourish, but the system itself demanded and provoked such. Though he had developed his system quietly and for his own private use, Scott was willing to provide me with a basic write‐up of his unique system and got to work. What appeared over the following weeks and months was a multitude of insights, methods, techniques, and approaches that were nothing short of ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. Once Scott had started the amazing task of putting his thoughts and approach into words, he often found it difficult to stop writing as this particular system flows so organically from one insight to the next that each piece explained and opened up the doors wide to a dozen others. Interestingly enough, this is exactly what will take place in your own readings drawing upon “The Vitruvian Square” system. What Scott shared with me has completely transformed the way I do my readings. No other technique or approached I’ve ever used has been of such incredible value or personal benefit to me and even my clients can tell the difference. My level of confidence has soared, my private readings and public performances have become tighter than ever before, and I’m simply able to KNOW MORE with far less time and effort. Using the approach and methods Scott has honed and perfected through years of personal use, you’ll find yourself ready and able to give amazingly detailed readings in any situation or venue, without repetition, without stock lines or memorized scripts, without the need for chicanery of any kind and without fear of failure. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in all my years of doing this work, I owe the most self‐growth to and personal success in the realm of private readings and public question answering, it is without a doubt Scott Grossberg’s “Vitruvian Square.” Having derived such remarkable value and insight, confidence, personal power, and sustained ability from this approach I gently encouraged Scott and nudged him in the direction he had been contemplating in private, specifically, making this work available to others.That Scott’s “Vitruvian Square” had impacted me on such deep and significant levels was more than enough to convince me this was something others could and would greatly benefit from, as well. For me personally, Scott’s approach was the missing link in my own work and provided me and the people I read for exactly what was being sought after, needed, required, and desired to take my readings and our experience together to the next level and beyond. What started as a private sharing and conversation between friends has evolved into what I firmly believe will be hailed as the single greatest advance and breakthrough approach to giving readings developed in the last 100 years. Though Scott has offered us a superior system, rock-solid approach, and spectacular structure to implement in our readings it should be noted this is NOT a “cold reading” method. Like every oracle born through necessity, “The Vitruvian Square” provides us with a combination of tools (all working together) which allows the reader, the client, the oracle, and the individual parts that comprise each to move the experience and insights gleaned from one point and level to the next in an elegant, logical, intuitive, detailed, and harmonious fashion. Scott’s approach is an even blend and perfect balance between logic and intuition. Once you’ve learned and integrated “The Vitruvian Square” system, you’ll be able to look at a person, place or thing, question, problem or circumstance, and through interacting with the square, be able to know and understand it on a deeper and more profound level than ever before. That nothing in this field or endeavor has been of greater value or personal significance to me speaks volumes. Through Scott’s approach I am better equipped to truly “Know Thyself” and now I see “The Vitruvian Square” in all things. It is the perfect looking glass, sounding board, and reflective surface within which one is allowed and empowered towards a level of understanding and intimacy rarely approached. More than just an incredible system for giving readings, “The Vitruvian Square” provides us with a tool and process for self-discovery. My own work with “The Vitruvian Square” has shown me more and more every day that our world is made up of symbols, layers, energies, codes, thoughts, consciousness, suggestions, perceptions, and our feeble attempts to define and make sense of these things. And though we may never fully understand all of them, we CAN begin to understand all of them even more via the work and process you’re currently holding. Enter now the Vitruvian Palace and allow her residents to speak to you. In a short time you’ll begin to see “The Vitruvian Square” in all things, and that all things exist (on some level) within “The Vitruvian Square.” By throwing yourself and/or another person into this self‐contained Palace of Wisdom you’ll see things you’ve not ever seen before . . . and it will happen very quickly. To end, I’m absolutely honored that Scott has shared this ground breaking work with me and even still, that I’m able to write the forward to this book. It will go down in history as an instant classic and the golden standard by which all future systems and approaches shall be measured. Jerome D. Finley” Since mankind’s earliest days, we have sought to know the thoughts of another. From the sheer need for safety and survival, we have tried to predict what tomorrow will bring. The challenge, of course, has been how unique we all are and the different ways each of us has tried to know and understand ourselves and what waits for us up ahead. No one has ever dreamed it would be possible to bring all the varied divination methods together into one workable system. Until now . . . Reduced to its simplest description, this is a book about fortune telling. Really, this is a book that teaches you how to tell people about themselves, where they have been, and where they are likely going. Inside these pages you are given a system of techniques that have been joined together in a novel and highly useable way. So, are you ready to embark on an exciting and mystifying adventure through the world of prediction and prophecy? Leaping Lizards is really proud that Scott has entrusted us with his latest book created for the general public, The Viruvian Square. NOW, Just as Bauta was created as the Magician/ Mentalists version of Scott’s book “The Masks Of Tarot” we are offering this hard cover collector’s edition of Vitruvian Square to the magic and mentalism community. Unlike Bauta, the contents of this book and the version that will be available for the public are identical. What the collector’s edition unique are these things as follows: The Mentalists Edition IS Sold Out: It was a hard cover, signed limited edition limited to 100 copies. It Included a DVD ROM which includes art for a special “reading sheet” which you can use with clients, a special Audio MP3 of Bonus Material recorded by Scott, and a Quicktime Video 30 minutes in length showing you how to do several of the techniques from the book. The Owner of the collector’s edition will also be able to access an owner’s page on our website and order the for public paperback version of the Vitruvian Square book, which you may use for BOR sales or as to sell to students should you decide to teach classes. The material on the bonus DVD ROM is being licensed to the original purchase only- It cannot be sold, traded, given away in any form- Should you wish to resell the entire thing as a package, you and the buyer will need to contact us to transfer said license BEFORE the sale. OF COURSE, you do NOT need to purchase the Mentalist’s Collector’s Edition if you only want to learn Scott’s scholarly variations on the Lo Shu Square. This is available in paper back, direct from Amazon and other book sellers
Hey Scott - Sorry I didn't get this to you sooner. Love your The Vitruvian Square. Love it! Love it! Love it! This is one of those rare, wonderful books that every time you read it, you get something more from it. This goes light years beyond the Lo Shu Square. Learning The Vitruvian Square has forever altered, for the better, the way I do readings. It has increased the depth in which I ‘see’ my clients. - TC Tahoe
Some people wrote to us and Scott for More information- so for those wanting to know more about this book- Here it is in Scott's Own Words: Thank you for taking the time to write and for asking about The Vitruvian Square. I am very pleased to inform you that the material in Jerome's wonderful project and that contained in The Vitruvian Square are DIFFERENT. It was an easy decision to give Jerome my permission to include something I call The Four Questions in his latest book, as he is a trusted friend and I certainly respect his work. The Four Questions is a formidable technique that allows to comfortably ask four very simple, yet incredibly probing and ultimately revealing, questions that can be used in divination; a personal method of mine that has not appeared in a commercial project before (although I have tipped some of this in lectures before). This is something that I will be publishing in more detail a little later - but I wanted Jerome, of all people, to be able to include this effective tool for your immediate use because it is suited for his style and material phenomenally well.

So, ya wanna be a busker??? This is THE handbook for those ready to build a tip and pass the hat! Advice for working the street, and for working LIFE! If you consider yourself a magician, then you’re an artist and you belong to a tradition (Whether you like it of not.) with expectations from your peers and the laity. This form of art can only function gracefully if the operator works with perfection in his mind, otherwise it appears clumsy and transparent to the spectator. |
In this book, Howard has created 66 self working packet effects using 6 cards each. (thus the title, get it, 666 Mentalism?) Each effect is explained in Howard’s straight forward, no-nonsense and to the point fashion and we have left them as he wrote them word for word. You can read a sample here. Howard Adams has been around for a LONG time, and his specialty is self working and mathematical magic and mentalism effects. I have no idea how his mind can generate these kinds of effect with this much variety, but create he does. |
