The Inward Stage - A Performer's...

Alexander Beresford

The Inward Stage is not a memoir. It is not a manual. It is not a book of secrets. 
It is a quietly luminous document, part philosophical journal, part poetic confession, written by a mindreader who spends his life performing illusions for others while quietly unraveling deeper truths for himself. 
Drawn from times spent backstage, between cities, between minds, and between silences, these pages reveal the reflections of a man who reads thoughts not for applause, but for understanding. He writes of wonder, failure, silence, intimacy, and the sacred art of disappearing at just the right moment. 
This is a book for those who have performed, on stages or in life, and for anyone who has ever longed to be understood beneath the surface. 
Written in fragments, aphorisms, and meditations, The Inward Stage is a love letter to mystery, a witness to the sacredness of connection, and a guide for those who find themselves standing quietly at the edge of the visible world.
