What will he teach?

Match-Match- The perfect mentalism opener. Always predict the exact number of matches a spectator chooses. Direct, powerful and so deceptive!

Elementary- Using a notebook, a borrowed watch and their intuition, the spectator solves a mysterious crime. This one features a principle, created by Spidey, that took the mentalism world by storm.

Heroes- A perfect example of Spidey's structural thinking. Impossibly predict a spectator's chosen superpower and superhero name.

Ouija- A close-up Séance trick like no other. Your audience will scream as a mysterious force reveals impossible information.

ESP Match- A demonstration of 5 types of psychic phenomena. This is Spidey's go to routine with ESP cards and solves a lot of the issues with other methods. A real worker!

Connexion 2.0- One of Spidey's most direct close up mentalism pieces, made even better. Reveal a spectator's intimate thought and then demonstrate just how connected they are to their selection.

Cold-Reading Masterclass- Spidey shares master tips on cold reading that he has created through years of experience as a certified body language and behavior analyst. Forget ambiguous and vague statements, Spidey will teach you how to instantly provide readings that connect HARD!

Spidey 2 ASAP Please Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 4th, 2022

I was so amped for this lecture as soon as it was announced because I own ABSee and was hungry for more Spidey material. I was definitely not disappointed.

If you have ABSee, you know how simple it is to perform with but how insanely powerful it is and how big the reactions are. This lecture is exactly that. Easy 'moves', great revelations, big reactions, and incredible tips from Spidey.

The double peek is so strong. I can't wait to use it.

And then the cold reading master class to end the lecture. You can't beat it.

Seriously, buy this lecture. You won't regret it.

Penguin- please bring Spidey back for another lecture ASAP!

Practical and Entertaining Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 4th, 2022

Wonderfully simple yet surprisingly impactful routines explained in Spidey's entertaining and easy to understand manner. There's a lot of classic principles presented with a new, or creative twist to modernize them and make them justifiable in the conversational style of his performance.
As always, Spidey's tips and advice on cold reading make this lecture worth the price of admission alone.
To weigh in on Eric and Spidey's debate; Hulk. 100%

Better than MY Lecure Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 6th, 2022

As someone with a lecture on this site, who has gone through not only the filming process at Penguin, but the process of putting together a lecture to be filmed, I can say that SPIDEY knocked it out of the park.

If you are currently browsing the site, looking at reviews, deciding what to buy, and you can ONLY buy one, don’t buy my lecture, buy this.

A wonderful blend of close up and stand up material, and the crowning gem at the end is the Cold Reading session. If you are a beginner looking to get into Mentalism, this is great. If you are an expert wanting to learn high quality material that you can add to your shows, you have an embarrassment of riches here.

Erik’s the PERFECT host for this. Spidey makes everything so clear that most of the time Erik is desperately trying to come up with meaningful questions, but when he FINALLY seems the run out of interesting things to ask, and asks a seemingly low level question about a pen, Spidey drops a great nugget of info that I immediately am adding to my work.

Also extra big props to the crew at Penguin Live. Including multiple performances of a lot of this material helps the learning process so much and was also entertaining and it’s own right to see different ways the material can play out.

Simply put, if you can’t learn from this, you aren’t paying attention.

Highest Recommendation!

Phenomenal! Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 4th, 2022

I bought this lecture specifically for the cold reading section, but got so much more. If you've ever wanted to learn real, practical skills for cold reading this is it!

Spidey teaches ways to seemingly know so much about a person by using methods that a standard mentalist wouldn't even think of. This Master class on cold reading doesn't just regurgitate techniques that you've already heard from other sources on cold reading (like B***** S*********, etc). You're taught real techniques to give SPECIFIC information about the SPECIFIC person you are reading.

::A note on all the other material on the lecture::
The other effects that you get on this lecture are workers that Spidey has done in his live sets. The effects in this lecture are great for a parlour setting, walk around, and even EDC. Spidey also teaches a great p**k that I'm going to be replacing my current p**k methods with.

Wow. Insightful. Clever. Useable. Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 4th, 2022

All well constructed routines, that are doable and interesting. Great tools that are generalizable (e.g., his double peek). Super personable. Fun to watch and great showman. Lastly, cold great reading tips (more than tips actually, methods).

Buy this lecture. Use this material.

Spidey is the Best Mentalist Teacher of His Generation Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 15th, 2022

That’s a bold statement, I know, but I’m not being hyperbolic. Spidey consistently delivers stronger and more practical material than anyone else in his cohort. I admire a lot of other contemporary mentalism creators, but even so, it’s not even close. Spidey is in the upper echelon to me along with Annemann, Dunninger, Osterlind, Banachek, Barry Richardson, Bob Cassidy, and maybe a few others. In addition to his contagious performing style, he is one of the best teachers in modern mentalism. His instruction is detailed without being tedious or exhausting. He lets you in on his thinking enough to understand his motivations but with enough room to work out presentations that work for your character. It’s unsurprising that his YouTube channel has nearly a million subscribers. His passion for his work is earnest and infectious, and his material here is simply outstanding. While there aren’t any earth shatteringly new methods in these presentations, the level of detail, cohesion, and unique approach he brings to them is highly useful for both beginners and working professionals.

The only minor criticism that I would levee is that I didn’t really like the fireside chat format. This is a lecture, not an interview. Erik’s consistent interruptions, although well-meaning and courteous, came off a bit smug (making it about him instead of Spidey or the audience) and weren’t additive. Most of the time, these interruptions muddied the clarity of the teaching, stunted the flow of information, and negatively impacted the pedagogical effectiveness.

8/5 Stars Actually Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 2nd, 2022

This is Penguin's lecture of the year, no doubt about it. I am giving it at least 8 stars out of 5.

Where to begin.

This lecture is packed with professional material that is commercial, engaging, deceptive and perfect for serious mentalists as well as magicians like myself who love to sprinkle a little mentalism on my routines. Spidey's isn't afraid to bring his magic knowledge into his mentalism routines when it comes to props, sleights and methods. Throw your lame, traditional billets in the garbage and go buy yourself a deck of double blank cards to use as your new "index cards" – so, so smart.

His BRILLIANT addition to the Sven Pad is honestly my favourite thing I took away from this lecture. I mean, seriously, what a genius idea. I have already adapted mine and using it with my own routine. I would pay $40 for this secret alone.

Ouija will absolutely destroy your audience, no question about it. The structure of this routine is a masterpiece and the fact that you can have a séance-style routine that packs so flat is beautiful.

The method for Match-Match is the best use for this method out there. This simple and fooling prediction routine is a perfect opener. Some routines are light-hearted and fun like Heroes while others are more serious and intimate like Connection 2.0. ESP Match will fool you, guaranteed. The presentation in that routine is so great.

The end section is a gold mine of cold reading tips that could also be argued to be worth the entire price of the lecture on its own.

Okay now stop reading this and go buy this lecture. You won't regret it.

Amazing!! Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 6th, 2022

Spidey is an amazing performer, thinker and teacher. This is one of the best penguin lectures I have ever watched. It is full of audience tested WORKER material. If you want to leave an impact with your audience, this material will definitely do that! The material is easy to perform, well thought out, highly deceptive and extremely entertaining. The effects taught in the lecture is worth the price of the lecture alone BUT IT DOESN’T STOP THERE!! Within each if the effects are subtleties, utilities and brilliant thinking which you can carry throughout all of your Mentalism & Magic. To me, that is the most invaluable aspects of a lecture. BUT IT DOESN’T STOP THERE!!!!

Spidey teaches an absolutely incredible and amazing approach to cold reading. You want to perform strong Mentalism? Add cold reading to your revelations, and performances. This is not just barnum statements rehashed. This is a cold reading masterclass which will change the way you perform readings. You will gain tons of credibility because your material will be emotionally relevant. The value in this lecture is far beyond the price tag. Pick this up and you will not be dissatisfied. You will sincerely be happy!! I love it!

Great work Spidey!!!

Not for me Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 21st, 2023

I like Spidey and I am sorry to say that I really did not get anything out of this lecture. Maybe I just have seen too much hard hitting magic before and it is just not my cup of tea.
Remember: that is just my opinion and we are all different.

Astonishing Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 20th, 2022

This the greatest lecture I've ever seen! Ouija alone is seriously worth the price of the lecture, and every single one of the other tricks is up there with it. Spidey really gives his all here, and his cold reading masterclass is great way to get started cold reading. It's a masterclass in cold reading, but it's also a masterclass in making the magic feel real and personal to the spectator, which I think is very important. If you take anything from this review, it should be to BUY THIS LECTURE NOW.
