Uri Geller

"Thom is a longtime student of mine. He's very creative and a deep thinker. This book combines exceptional presentations with extraordinary methodology - very worthy of your attention."

Jeff McBride

"I'm a fan of Thom's approach to practical, entertaining mentalism and TIAR is a gem. It offers a wealth of effective, mystifying material to suit all performing conditions, from close-up to stage. I also like Thom's warm, likeable writing style - his dry wit and humour are just one more reason to add this book to your library."

Ian Rowland

"Mentalists worldwide will get to discover what a lucky handful of us have known for a long time: Thom Bleasdale is a mastermind. I could wax lyrical about his brilliant stories and presentations, his elegant and engaging effects and his innovative methods, but you'll read those for yourself soon enough. So let me tell you why I really love this book - it's because only Thom is eclectically luminous enough to write a book which includes a routine which is a sad love story about 'the one that got away', a way to genuinely induce someone into a premonition state, an effect where a participant legitimately solves a maze they have barely seen, and the retro-sensation that is 'Lipgloss Hyperballad'. And I haven't even scratched the surface. You are in for a treat! Highest recommendation."

A true innovator, original creator, and daring outsider.

Kenton Knepper

"I first encountered Thom's work through one of Kenton's manuscripts, and his principle was so powerful that I used it in one of my earliest releases. After all these years, I'm thrilled to see him sharing the creations he's sat on for so long. Thom is a great thinker. Don't miss out, get this book!"

Fraser Parker

"Thom is an exciting and innovative creator. His unique approach is worth seeking out, and this book is the perfect way to get your fix of his thinking. Your magic will be better for it."
