I just finished watching the video. Even though I haven't tried yet to people, It seems it will work
well. It really is impromptu. No set up at all. All you need is a pen and some sugar packets. That
means.. the method of this trick is not a principle like mark, crimp or etc. You don't do anything
on the sugar packets. All you do on the sugar packets is that you just draw some symbols, names,
numbers or whatever you want. The method is simple and effective. You can just do this after you
watch the video without any fails.
That said, I don't recommend you perform this trick
alone or first to people. Because of the method is so simple it has a little chance of getting
caught from someone who really tries to figure out. I think people should trust your work first by
your serious work before you do this trick. This is really great effect but it would be much
stronger when people are really into your magic.
And.. If you want to do this to your
magic friends or people who have learnt some magic it won't probably work because I just figured out
before I watched the learning section. So again, this method is really simple & great but you need
to build up yourself as a real mind reader before you do this trick. Then it will be great.

ok, since there are no reviews yet I'll go ahead and post one. I just watched the 19-minute video,
have not performed the effect yet, but I LOVE IT ALREADY. I can see how this little and diabolical
idea can totally floor people. In this case the description of the effect is accurate, no misleading
element whatsoever in it. The effect IS impromptu, it uses ungimmicked and unprepared materials, it
is direct and strong, and the method is virtually impossible to detect. You end 100% clean, and you
can give away the packets of sugar as a souvenir. Or you can use them for your coffee!!
The video includes 3 performances and the explanation of the secret. It is well made for this
type of instructional video.
Can't wait to try this effect out!!

There is some really smart thinking in here. I like the routine and the effect is good. This is
excellent for when you forget your ESP cards at home but like Matthew said, you can easily
substitute the symbols for names or whatever you feel like.
The reason I docked it a star
is because it's included in the live lecture and think you should wonder over there and pick up the
whole lecture for a little bit more. It's great and Matthew's a killer guy. BUT if you are only
willing to spend for 1 effect and check him out, this is a good place to start.
Enjoy!

This is the type of magic every magician should incorporate into their close up work.. It's a MUST!
And for 5.00 or even 10.00 it's a STEAL! It's about the method that makes it 10% trick and 90%
presentation.
I performed this for my dad and fooled him badly! I even tried this with
boxes of cereal laid out on the counter, and it worked!. The method is pretty much invisible so
nothing to ditch or hide.
I also showed my girlfriend and she was fooled. She thinks that
there is fingerprints. She also said I have implanted eyes in the back of my head… We both were
laughing and I was cracking up.
The download is clear and to the point.

This is a great piece of impromptu mentalism that will serve you well for the rest of your days.
Grab some sugar packets and any type of pen and your good to go! What more could a performer ask
for?! ;)

This is the kind of download from Penguin I am extremely pleased with. Really impromptu. Easy to do,
anywhere, anytime mentalism that's very clever.
Don't hesitate. Fun and exciting new
method.

I can only agree with the other comments on SWEET. The Video is straight to the point. No gimmicks.
No Set-up. Instant Reset. What do you want more as a close-up magician. And for 4 $ ? It should be a
crime to give it away that cheap. As I watched the trailer I had a clue how this could work. Turned
out my idea was correct. But still, amazing way of thinking!
100% satisfied!

I got this one in the lecture of Matt. I do recommend this one.
it's really simple to
perform, you really don't need to do anything special. but as someone mentioned above. don't do it
as a standalone effect or ash an opener. do it on the off beat or something.
go get it....
it's worth it.....
i love these simple little things you can do and you don't need to carry
things around....

Simple, impromptu, no set-up miracles don't come along often enough. Once you take a whole few
minutes to learn it's all how you want to present it.
The concept is yours for life worth
it's weight in gold to any beginner or pro. Treat it as such.

Easy method and if you are a good performer you'll get great reactions... All depends how you pull
this one off.
