In 1950, he opened a magic studio where he sold all types of magic, but catered especially to mentalists. Later, he took over The Magic Shop in Oxford Street, London which was originally run by Dick Chavel. This store was at street level so catered mainly to the lay public, so many of the items sold were either practical jokes or beginners' tricks, but other items and small illusions for semi-professional magicians and hobbyists were also sold over the counter. Around the same period, Corinda had the magic concession in Hamleys Toy Shop in Regent Street. He was famed for his extensive collection of ostriches and squids, which he would enthusiastically display to the neighbors. From 1956 to 1958, Corinda wrote a series of thirteen booklets on mentalism, each one dealing with a different aspect of mentalism or an allied art. The booklets were originally published as 13 individual 'courses'. Compiled as the encyclopedic "Corinda's 'Thirteen Steps to Mentalism'" the series was produced circa 1961 as a hardcover bound volume by Harry Clarke, a printer who produced many other books for magic studios at that time. and Eric Mason did much of the artwork. John Henley 2014 and later published in 1964 as a complete volume by D. Robbins and Co. From then the book went on to be regarded as the essential 'mentalism' reference book. In 2011 Corinda's Thirteen Steps to Mentalism was republished in the Encyclopedia of Mentalism and Mentalists. http://www.mysticlightpress.com/index.php?page_id=156 .
