Millard and I started out with what seemed, at the time, a simple enough goal: to re-release his Psychic Readings for Groups. If youβre not familiar with this brilliant approach to the Question Answering Act, itβs for a good reason β prior to now, this publication was only available as an exclusive to a well-known association of psychic entertainers. Time passes, however, and we felt that Psychic Readings for Groups deserved a slightly larger audience. Not too much larger, mind you, since itβs that good.
As I was looking for the original manuscript, however, I came across a folder of writings Millard had sent me over the years, and it occurred to me that much of it had only seen limited exposure in emails and on private forums, and needed to be seen by more people in the psychic entertainment community.
Millard agreed with me, and we decided to release the collection now known as βMillardβs Mental Musingsβ.
Take a look at whatβs in itβ¦
. Psychic Readings for Groups
βPsychic Readings for Groupsβ is simplicity itself:
1. Folded cards are handed out to audience members.
2. They are invited to write questions on them and fold them up again.
3. The performer collects the cards, and proceeds to answer specific questions immediately.
Annemann once stated that the key question to ask when developing an act was, βWhat would a real psychic do?β
Based on my own experiences in the real world, the answer to Annemannβs question lies in the description above.
When Millard and I first started talking about Q&A acts several years ago, we both expressed an appreciation for George Andersonβs venerable contribution to the field, βDynamite Mentalism.β As compelling as his approach was, it had two main weaknesses β you absolutely had to have a large audience for it to be effective, and there was the distinct possibility that no one would own up to the answers you were delivering.
Millardβs method does not have either of these weaknesses, and will work as well for a small intimate gathering as it will for a large audience.
In fact, βPsychic Readings for Groupsβ may just be the perfect way to begin a psi party. I suspect that if Robert Nelson had known about Millardβs act when he wrote his book on horoscope parties many years ago, he never would have suggested that the performer βwarm upβ the partygoers with an Invisible Deck and a bulldog clip.
Here are just some of the strong points of this presentation:
β’ It works for any size audience
β’ Can be done impromptu
β’ You answer each personβs specific question
β’ No pre-show required
β’ No βsecretβ moves β cards never leave the sight of the audience
β’ No one-aheads
β’ No switches
β’ The cards may be returned to audience members
Youβll love the flexibility of βPsychic Readings for Groups.β You can tailor it to fit anything from a 15-minute interlude to an entire 45-minute presentation. And, because the cards themselves arenβt gimmicked in any way, you can do this practically impromptu β perfect for when the airline loses your luggage!
The Readings
As Millard says, however, the real meat of this manuscript is in the example readings that he lays out for you. These readings are based on Millardβs many years of client readings, and use a combination of colors, chakras, drawings, and numerology to provide meaningful answers to as many audience members as you have time for.
I guarantee the next time someone asks βWill I win the Lotto?β you will think about Millardβs ingenious approach, and chances are very good that youβll want to use it yourself.
Millard even explains another method to structure impromptu readings using business cards that provides the perfect structure for telling them about their past, present and future. If you have wanted a simple, yet effective, way to do βon the spotβ readings, you will love this β and use it.
Totally Digital
The Psychic Readings for Groups manuscript is delivered in Adobe Acrobat PDF format, allowing you the flexibility of reading it on your laptop or printing it out for your files.
In addition to the clear illustrations and concise text that walks you through every step of this presentation, youβll also receive two extra files that provide you with templates you can use to print out a starter set of cards, and full details on how to make them up yourself.
By the way, this is the perfect companion to Millardβs βPsychic Skills Workshopβ, and according to one worker I know, it is the only way to present the traditional Question Answering Act, especially to those audiences who are expecting the real thing. I have to admit that I would agree with that assessment. In fact, I was kind of hoping Millard would not re-release this manuscriptβ¦ youβll understand why when you see how powerful it can be in the right hands.
Psychic Skills: Readings & Healings
Originally published as a series of articles that appeared in a private monthly magazine, Psychic Skills: Readings & Healings covers a wide range of topics that will be of great interest to readers, regardless of whether youβre just starting out or have been doing readings for years.
After covering non-verbal communication cues, color symbolism and chakras, Millard moves on to how he incorporates these concepts into his palmistry work. As a palm reader with 20+ years of experience, I can tell you this section was an eye-opener for me.
Central to Millardβs approach to readings is his belief that we, as readers, have a unique opportunity to help people β to provide a positive and healing influence, if you will β and he explains very concisely how easy it is to do this using simple energy techniques that can be performed by anyone willing to include them in their regular readings.
From The Fool to The Magician and Beyond
This section of Millardβs Mental Musings was originally a free-standing book on the Tarot. This could easily be the only book an aspiring Tarot reader would need to read before doing readings for the public. In addition to explanations for all of the cards in both Minor and Major Arcanas, Millard includes a number of actual readings, illustrating how to easily apply the information he teaches in this book.
Have I mentioned how influential Millard has been in my development as a reader and performer? Yes, Iβm sure I have, so I wonβt dwell on that here. All the same, one single concept contained in From The Fool to The Magician and Beyond changed the way I understood the Tarot and how Iβve presented both readings and workshops since first reading it.
Symbols on the Path
This book was originally available a number of years ago as a set of notes at Millardβs popular training workshops. After reading and absorbing the information presented here, you should be able to easily learn how to make your own Runes and how to read them in no time at all for fun and profit (or both, for that matter) .
This section of Millardβs Mental Musings will teach you how to do Psychic Readings withβ¦
Viking Alphabet (Runes)
Greek Alphabet
English Alphabet
I think youβll really appreciate Millardβs incredibly simple and direct yet creative approach to creating your own Runes using materials easily found in just about every arts and crafts supply store. Β Of special interest for many professional readers will be how easy it is for you to expand and enhance brief readings through the use of colored beads β which you can pick up at the same arts and crafts supply store you get the materials for the Runes.
Elsewhere on The Pro Shop website, I describe Symbols on the Path as βperhaps the quickest and most effective way to get started reading Runesβ. You can still order it by itself (for $25), but I donβt know why you would considering it is included in its entirety in Millardβs Mental Musings.
Plus moreβ¦
Included in this 150-page PDF ebook youβll also find more of Millardβs original thinkingβ¦
β’ Thoughts on QA
β’ Death at a Trade Show
β’ Hypnotic Psychic Readings

β’ Thoughts on Readings
β’ Chinese Numerology

If youβre already familiar with Millardβs writing, you know that he is one of the truly original thinkers in our field. If this is your first encounter with himβ¦ well, I think youβre in for a treat. This compilation of Millardβs writings is nothing less than a look inside the mind of someone who has been both a performer and a reader for over 40 years, and you will certainly find much within this book that you will be able to use to enhance your own work.
Soβ¦ a bullet-proof Question Answering Actβ¦ Millardβs two books on Tarot and Runesβ¦ previously exclusive material on presenting effective and meaningful readingsβ¦ a killer presentation for Out of This Worldβ¦ PLUS many more ideas you can use to improve your own readings.
