Magic Tricks

Excellent video with good effects, live performances of great quality and very clear and thorough explanations.
The techniques employed are quite basic and will be used by most people, even beginners in the art of mentalism. But the effect produced on the audience may not be the same as the one generated by Docc Hilford. The guy is a master performer and he has this ability of getting the most from a little thing and captivating an audience.
The readings he delivers during the performance of "Volition" are just excellent (and they are pure cold readings, as Docc has nothing to work with - no secret information). This, in my opinion, is what makes this effect so fantastic to look at. Witnessing Docc's virtuosity at delivering readings is always a pleasure.
Unfortunately, he does not cover that part in the explanation of the effect. He simply covers the technique used to ensure that every participant chooses his/her own envelope. Obviously, readings are much more experience-based than move-based, and it is hard to explain "experience" on a video. This is why we will not hold a grudge against Docc, lol...
All in all, a strong recommendation for this rendition of classic effects that have been clerverly modernized.
