"This is some of the strongest material on the planet. Highly recommended!" - Maxwell Murphy

"I just finished watching Into The Abyss. It is great! VERY direct, usable, and non procedural mentalism. What's In a Name in particular is superb and "worth the price of the DVD"... if you do this they have to believe you truly can read their mind." - Tim Trono

The three routines in INTO THE ABYSS all share the same goal. They make audiences think that you can really read their minds. Not on stage, not far away, but up close and personal with people that you are meeting for the first time. No pre-show and no stooges, just the real deal. These routines are easy to learn and require virtually no sleight of hand.

You will not find any boring, drawn-out procedures or outdated routines on this DVD. INTO THE ABYSS contains direct, in-your-face powerhouses that audiences will REMEMBER for a very long time to come. These routines have evolved over years of professional performance and Oz teaches them to you step-by-step so you are able to perform them with confidence.

What's in a Name?
Your spectators will experience you performing the impossible: you will be able to name the person they are thinking of and disclose details about that person that you could not possibly know. This has become Oz’s signature effect in his strolling repertoire.
WARNING: Perform this at your own risk! Some spectators will truly believe that you are psychic.

Listen to my Words
Imagine approaching a group for the first time and having a person think of someone important from her past. Now picture the look on her face when you take a tape recorder out of your pocket and everyone hears the message you previously recorded that includes the name of the person that she is thinking of.

Ultimate Vacation
It's time to get even more personal and completely blow them away. You hand a fully stapled and sealed prediction to a spectator who, upon tearing it open, finds a folded business card. Written on it are all the details of a vacation that she went on including the name of a person she is thinking of from that trip. This is close-up mentalism with a true emotional hook.

Great trick, poor DVD Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 7th, 2010
First off, I want to say that the tricks themselves are really good. However the DVD is not. The menu screens are a mess, and the camera guy should not quit his day job because he obviously has no idea what he is doing.
If you are new to mentalism then expect to have to go buy some more stuff. If you don't know any method of getting info from a spectator then expect to buy even more stuff. For example a method of peeking, impression pad, or info on how to do a good center tear, cause this DVD doesn't provide that info for you.
As far as the tricks themselves go they are pretty easy and are very very good. Probably some of the best mentalism effects you are likely to find.
I recommend the tricks, just make sure you have an exsisting method of getting info from the people you are doing the trick for.

It was ok...just ok Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 15th, 2011
It was ok...just ok. I got it mostly to see some performance examples and presentations for the center tear. This DVD doesn't actually teach the center tear, but if you already know a good version, he does have some pretty well thought out presentations for it that may appeal to you. It was nice seeing some actual performances with the center tear. The method feels a little bold at first, so seeing someone pull it off successfully can help give you the confidence to try it yourself.

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 3rd, 2010
Hi! This is your official PenguinMagic reviewer, B_Magic.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Into the Abyss is an awesome DVD that I really felt good about purchasing. If you are intrigued and thinking about picking this one up, I'd definitely add this to cart now. The effects are great, and the DVD is just fun to watch as well. Bonus, you get some insider performance advice from Oz just by watching him as he performs these miracles.

A couple things to watch out for. These effects, though great, really do depend on your ability to perform them well and SELL them to the audience. In a nutshell, you need to be able to engage the audience, otherwise these effects could end up as yawners in the wrong hands. Also, while all the effects are really good, there was only one in particular that I thought was stellar, and it's the only one I felt I would perform myself. That said, I felt that the DVD was well-worth the purchase and I enjoyed learning the effects. Perhaps the other effects are things I can tweak and can fit into my arsenal later.

Add to cart.

Great! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 3rd, 2010
These are such great ideas! I use the stapled prediction with so many different prediction effects. I still fool both my magician friends with this prediction! The tape recorder is fantastic! I like to merge the tape recorder and stapled prediction into one effect, most people are so convinced they don't even bother to try how to work it out. I only gave it 4 stars because while Oz is an amazing magician, I thought his mentalism performances seemed too much like magic effects. Other than that it's wonderful! Go buy this!

Awesome! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 2nd, 2010
This is an awesome DVD; the material on here is so strong. I use a variation of Ultimate Vacation all the time and it always KILLS. Ever since I watched this DVD, this has been my "go-to" when someone asks me to do a trick. Although it does take some practice to get the moves down so that everything is smooth, it it well worth it! There are so many different ideas and routines you can do with this. You will not regret buying this DVD!

Great mentalism Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 2nd, 2010
I'm not a big mentalism magician, but the teaser video got to me. I wasn't disappointed. Oz has a great teaching style and while I haven't mastered all the methods on the DVD, it compelled me to begin adding some mentalism to my routine. This is a great DVD for some simple, yet effective mentalism.

Great Presentational Ideas Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 2nd, 2010
Oz explains some great presentations and takes on the classic mentalism gem, the prediction. His routines are all strong, great for walk around and small groups and even small stages. Nothing terribly new in terms of technique, but other than that its a great DVD.

Nice effects but.... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 7th, 2008
Nice effects but only 3 of them. Nice they have different settings but it feels like a filler to me to extend the length of the DVD.

Plus the camera work is extremely poor for the performances. I own a video production company so I am a little more aware of techniques. These camera guys make it harder to watch the performances to see what is going on. Learn how to shoot better people or OZ get someone better. It hurts your productions.

Very clever tricks.

What a rip off Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 4th, 2008
All 3 tricks are basically the same. Each routine requires the same method (not taught on this DVD). The 3rd trick also requires the purchase of another item.

Biggest rip off ever.

I'd give 0 if it were an option.
