This book claims to be a practical manual for the development of occult vanishing techniques, but it would more accurately be titled "a survey on the phenomenon of invisibility throughout history, as it relates to the western mystical tradition". Most of the content is historical, and while it is of interest, it is also of very little practical value. I found the much repeated information on medieval alchemy to be of little relevance. I was also unimpressed by the author's avoidance of mentioning personal experiences with invisibility. Can he turn invisible, or not?

His theory, shared by many other occultists, is that one must accumulate a cloud of akasha (ether, the fifth tattvic element) around their person, preventing light from reflecting off the physical body and thus reducing visibility. The importance of akasha to the phenomenon of invisibility has been suggested by Franz Bardon (a 20th century Czech occultist) and eastern adepts. This theory itself is sound, and the book explains it sufficiently, but unfortunately it is NOT accompanied by adequate practical instruction. There are instructions for the development of astral sight/clairvoyance and invisibility, and while the astral sight exercises are decent, the invisibility instructions are too vague to be practical. It is still a good book though, despite its shortcomings, and it should be read by anyone seeking to develop this ability.

This is book is the first one I have every read about this subject. And what an incredible and on the ball book it was. I couldn't believe how everything was so right and exactly what I was looking for. Since then I have read Steve Richards other books and believe him to be a master. I only wish they were in print. Don't miss this one and Levitation.

This book is very concise on Invisibilty. It is a must read for fans of the Occult and Magic. It also has many other references to books on Occult Sciences, and Magic that has to do with Invisibility

This is a fine collection regarding the history of so-called "invisibility." However, if you want to be able to move about unseen by others, you will want to inquire elsewhere.

An excellent first step toward rendering oneself undetectable is to study our basic human perception and its many inter-related traits. Thus I advocate that all would-be students of occult and arcane Knowledge look into the writings of masters such as Gurdjieff, Milton Erickson, Franz Bardon, Carlos Castaneada, and Austin Osman Spare to name but a few helpful figures.

It is also wise to study mythology. Many legends and folktales contain potent, practical, information that is encoded symbolically - to be used by those with eyes that can see such hidden jewels of power,..

Remarkable things are possible if one is willing to unlearn the false limitations that your family, society and peers have psychologically chained you with.

I can heartily recommened this book. After following Steve's techniques I managed to achieve invisiblity after seventeen days. I can now 'invisiblise' myself at will and have even managed to 'invisiblise' my wife Tracey for up to three hours at a time. Quite handy when the footballs on. Be aware though, I inviblised her last week for a short time as she was annoying me going on and on and on about something or other. She materialised two hours later from a black cab outside our house with a £100 leather handbag, four new pairs of shoes and had paid £300 deposit for a new kitchen from IKEA.

Wow! I just read this book, and I feel like the Shadow. This book covers in detail all the elements to turning invisible and more. Even if you can't become invisible it is still a most entertaining read.
