It's just his version of the Sugar packet prediction. I've seen that he's been coming up with lots
of versions for other tricks to sell, like remote viewing it a Derren Brown Trick from his lecture
(But Luke did work with him), His watch trick has many variations, Richard Osterlind has one. He's
all right, but I'd like to see something more original.
If you don't know the sugar packet
prediction, then yes, add this to cart, this is a great kind of impromptu way to do it, i prefer the
sugar packets, but this is just one man's opinion.

This trick is basically the same as the sugar packet production, so if you know that secret, then
you could apply the same method to this presentation. The bad part of this effect, it that the final
piece cannot be examined by the spectator, the sugar packet routine provides the same effect, but
can be performed in a more casual setting anywhere.

Hands of fate is great for any mentalist routine and the only real preparation is the prediction. I
personally like to do hands of fate with 8 coins from my pocket change, preferably pennies. Coins
shake and mix up more easily than paper so the spectator feels the outcome of his/her throws is more
random. This trick is so easy and practically impromptu, and the method is simple beyond belief. It
got 4 stars because I like some of Luke's previous tricks more, but that's maybe because I do card
magic. If you're into mentalism, this is definitely for you.

The hands of fate trick has been around for a while. This is by no means a new trick but it is still
good. What makes this one nice is that you are giving the opportunity to really involve the
spectator. There is no forcing the spectator at all here. They really can draw any shapes that they
want and in the end, you will always get the prediction right. I only give it three stars because
doing it with paper doesn't always work well and it's easier to get caught by the spectator.

Very simple trick which takes very little preparation and I haven't had anyone guess the trick or
want to examine any of the materials involved. They just say, "How did you do that", and look
puzzled! Not the hardest hitting trick in the world but certainly one of the easiest to carry out
successfully, especially if you are only just starting out with mentalism like I am.

This trick uses a surefire principle that is very old yet very good. It is described in Jay Sankey's
22 Blows to the Head and other places. There are virtually no sleights involved which gives you lots
of room for presentation.
If you are a newbie to mental magic, I suggest you pick this up
if you are serious about learning mental magic/mentalism.

I really love this effect. It's a great, highly visual, highly interactive version of an older
technique. It's really easy to pull off with just a little bit of prep work and gets a great
audience response.
The downside is, the technique will become obvious with repetition so
you're pretty much one-and-done. That said, it's a fun effect that engages the audience and is well
worth it.

I love the simplicity of this effect. I came up with a way to allow the spectator to choose the
symbol that comes up at the end and it kills! This is perfect for strolling and close-up situations,
especially when you're out with your friends and they want to see something impromptu. It seems so
fair!

The only problem that I've found is that there is no way for the spectator to pick up the remaining
card at the end unless you perform a slight. I would suggest entering into Jay Sankey's
"Paperclipped." "Paperclipped" is an instant classic, and anybody who calls themselves a mentalist
should be familiar with this effect. All clean-up is self-contained within the finale of
"Paperclipped." All in all, this is a great effect from a great mind. By the way, Olesea (I think I
spelled her name correctly) is drop dead gorgeous, and it's always nice to see her.
