Another great variation for menalism. This video was able to show the performance and HOW TO in
about 15 minutes, but then Bob goes on to share for 45 minutes more ways to do the performance, both
stage and close-up. I'm an amateur, and he gave options for seasoned pros and guys like me as well.
I love how he just nonchalantly showed about 12 different ways to perform, setup and change the
performance. Basic versions along with more advanced. Obviously he's been doing this for decades.
With all the bonuses I would have paid 5 times the cost. Thanks!! it was awesome!!

This is a very clever trick well done by Mr. Cassidy, I really recommend it to all, the purpose i
gave 4 stars is because, he well explained the trick, but did not show how the force was done with
the audience choice, He explained several ways of getting informations, but did not explain how
exactly he was able to force the word he did in the trick. HOWEVER, with that said. the video was
very tutorial, you will get extra tricks to do , and they are GREAT TRICKS to learn.. Thanks Mr.
Cassidy for sharing this. I personally love trick collections so this will be added to the list..
thanks.

Bob Cassidy does a nice job describing the illusion, history and variations.
This gives a lot of
cool variations that you can use in slate magic and some techniques can be used in other illusions.
it's a shame if you don't have this in your library.

If you are beginner, than you will get to learn one of the most powerful and classic routine and a
lot of new things that you will absolutely fall in love with.
If you are a professional or
advanced level, you will also pick up something interesting from this Download.
It is
always pleasant to listen to Bob Cassidy talk.

I was disappointed with this download. From the blurb I had expected some discussion of
presentations featuring classic Spirit Slates. There was none. In fact we didn't see a single
example of a spirit slate.
What Bob is showing us is a way of performing spirit writing
using playing card sized pieces of black plastic which he pretends are silica which he tells
us(incorrectly)are what slates were made from. Slates were made from slate which is a rock, not from
silica which is a chemical.
Nevertheless the magic that Bob teaches us is excellent and the
presentation entertaining. He also on the way discusses a book test and a handling for a switch
wallet. This is all very useful information. So if you were looking for some good easy to do mental
magic with a very entertaining presentation then you will find the download very good value. Just so
long as you were not particularly expecting magic with Slates.

Well the trick looks like a million bucks but I bought it twice by mistake and I still can't view
it! There's no where for me to watch the "instant download" stuff from it. It looks like an amazing
trick I just can't watch it.

Bob Cassidy has given us all a gift - he's updated the traditional (and sorta hokey) spirit slates
and given us all permission to astound modern audiences!
The moves are simple (some are
"movey-er" than others) and get the job done. He suggests making the slates from old black DVD cases
(brilliant!) and cutting them to playing card size. Personally, I think they look more innocent if
cut a bit larger (say, 4 x 6"). Then, there's less of a temptation to handle them like playing
cards. Bob's bonus routines with a deviously gimmicked dictionary AND his simple but super effective
handling for a three-fold peek wallet (which you can make yourself) is more than worth the price of
the download. Great value!

Thanks to Bob Cassidy's work, the slates will live again as in days of old! It's all in the
presentation which, in Bob's hands, becomes a history lesson with a demonstration which makes it all
the more interesting to the lay person.

This is such a powerful and simple effect. I really appreciated the story that is woven around the
simple moves and dramatic end.
