Fourteenth Step’s mission is to provide opportunities for you to learn the art of mentalism. We accomplish this by curating and publishing a variety of innovative, exciting and real world based mentalism lessons, gimmicks, gaffs, and other tools required to put the knowledge, skills, and recommendations we share into practice, either as an amateur or professional performer.

Fourteenth Step was founded exclusively for educational, scientific, and charitable purposes as a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, and is fully recognized by the IRS as having Public Charity Status under section 509(a)(2).

Unlike many mentalism publishers, magic shops, and individual producers of magic and mentalism, we exist purely for public benefit—not to create a profit for owners or stakeholders. Because our mission is charitable in nature, we utilize income brought in through courses, product sales, fundraisers, and donations to help others learn to the art of mentalism.

We understand that there is a considerable economic disparity between the West where many of the world’s most prolific artists live and can afford to invest in mentalism, and other countries where artists often have to choose between taking care of their personal responsibilities and investing in themselves and their art. We exist to bridge that gap, and are working diligently to open the art up to others who, in time, we believe will become contributors to mentalism worldwide.

As a 501c3 non profit organization, we can accept your tax deductible donation to support our mission. This can be in the form of direct financial support, or as an in-kind contribution of services or products. With the latter, we share what you share with our unique global audience. If you’re a performer or creator and would like to get involved, you can donate your time any time. We’d love to have you.
