If you're serious about mentalism, you know by now that the reveal is much more important than the
peek. While Alexander does throw in some great classic peeks and forces at no extra charge, he
teaches a reveal that is highly entertaining, interactive, and customizable.
If you're
looking for a new trick, this is probably not for you, but if you're looking for a great new tool
for mentalism BUY NOW!
The method alone is worth $10, and if you add another $10 for his
additional touches and insight, classic peek, and (in my opinion) one of the most powerful card
forces in magic, you can't go wrong for $20 with this one. Great value and a great "step" in
mentalism.
Even if you were brand new to mentalism, you could create a small show based on
this one purchase. If you're more advanced, you will find ways to take your current material to
another level. Bravo!

I bought this today after I saw Drew's recommendation. I think it's great and very clever. I am
definitely going to be experimenting with this in my routines as I think it adds something visually
interesting to the revelation procedure. It is definitely something that is better suited for stage
and parlour situations where there are one or more participants and an audience watching. Having
said that, there is also a close-up routine with cards for the close-up worker that I think is quite
good. Although the download focuses mainly on what you do after you have acquired the secret
information using your favourite way (pads, wallets, peeks etc.) the peek that is taught is quite
good and versatile as well so I think it adds to the value of the whole project.
I am definitely
happy with this purchase.

As an experienced mentalist I was at first disappointed by it. Don't get me wrong it is not for the
beginner, either. He has some very good ideas for different ways to reveal thouvhts,etc. Just a bit
over priced to me.

For those who are collectors of new, groundbreaking methods, this might not be the best fit. For
those who work on stage, this is GOLD!
I had a four month contract for daily stage shows,
and I did this in every show, and it was often picked as a favorite part of my audiences.

This is mostly just a way to present a mentalism trick, it's pretty good, I enjoyed it, but when I
got this download I was expecting new ways to get info or an idea from the spectator but it's mostly
just a way on how to perform, but he does teach you a card trick and a peek and how to use your
mentalism trick to his performance idea, so not much in this download for me.

Unfortunately this purchase was not for me. It does teach a powerful visual technique that I might
add to my routine but nothing else. I really didn't learn anything "magical", and the only peek
teached I already knew. I give 3 stars because Alexander is a good teacher and I can see all the
hard work in the 70min explanation video. Although if you are a professional mentalist I wouldn't
recommend. If you're a starting mentalist or looking to add a more visual revelation to your routine
this might help, otherwise spend your money in something else.

The creator here has done some interesting things but it is not clear, to me, why these things are
things. I wanted to love this based on the ad but I simply kinda liked it.
I am giving 3
stars because of the peek idea he uses was fresh, to me. Not the gimmick he makes but the way he
uses it I found disarming.
In this case, no one is to blame unlike many other downloads I
have purchased where, the material was just crap. This material is not crap just not earth moving,
to me. I was aware of what was, basically offered. I just did not find it interesting enough to ever
use (other than the peek)

I really enjoyed this. It used good magic but illustrated how to make what could be theatrically
boring into something quite gripping. Well worth the price. I will keep my eyes open for more of his
work!
This is some very clever thinking. I like the idea of a mentalist getting a volunteer to "do
something" to make his reveal and show that it was right rather than simply writing the answer down
on a white pad. The best part was getting the volunteer to close his eyes and respond in random
gestures that the mentalist predicts/ mimmicks in advance & seemingly prior to their occurrence.
If you've been at this for more than 20 years you probably won't learn any new magic on this
down load- but the handling tips are well worth the price of admission IMHO.
Mildly interesting. Not sure that it's right for me, however.
