I probably wouldn't have purchased if a video was available. Once I read the effect (without hearing the secret) I immediately knew how it was done. I took some logic classes in college so not your average spectator but my first spectator (who is a sharp person) figured out the logic right away as well. May work for some, but not for most of my audiences.

Pros: Impromptu, prop-free, 100% hit rate. This is something cool to demonstrate when you're put on the spot.

Cons: It's not as "pure" as you may think. The verbal instructions you give do create constraints which a smart spectator may unwind, even if they don't completely figure it out.

This is one of these things that proves that you don't need to spend a lot of money to figure out which hand the coin is in. Without giving anything away in a public forum, the problem with these coin-in-hand techniques has always been one of disguising the process. This is a fantastic technique, though not quite as good as Mark Elsdon's Tequila Hustler. But that doesn't diminish MANOEDA's effectiveness. In fact, I use the two together. Tequila is great for three spectators because it's just left hand or right hand. I use Manoeda for the fourth spectator because it's a one in three shot--left hand, right hand, or in the spectator's pocket. You get all four spectators' selections correct, and you can tell the crowd that you just hit it with about a 4% chance of success. That's a nice opener for anyone's stage routine.

This is not my first product into the subjet, and it's not my favorite either.
If you're addicted to that kind of stuff like I am and want to learn every possible subtelties, then go for it.
Otherwise you might want to think twice.
If you're new to this, Tequila Hustler is definetely worth the extra money compared to this. Much better structured, ideas from 3 additional magicians, you'll go way further.
I found Manoeda a bit overpriced, for the small amount you will learn, but also in general compared to a complete mentalism book.

It still has a little something more than the other effects I learned, since the participant is offered the choice to put the coin in their pocket. But in the end, I found that some outs were not as good as some others, and tend to demonstrate to the spectator that what you say will give you the answer, by giving them weird directions to follow.

I prefer doing this effect with a real coin, I just feel it's less chaotic for the participant.

The only thing that could make this better would be if there was no patter needed. But the patter that is needed is minimal and justified. This freaks people out everyone I do it. I'll typically to the which hand with an imaginary coin and at the end if the routine make it a real copies. It kills!

Lets just say, if they showed you a performance demo of this video... no one would buy this.

Its too easy to figure out just from reading the performance. I would not use this script. The free videos on youtube on how to read body language are much better than this.

I was concerned with no demo video whether or not I would use this and if it would really fool people --- but it is a great effect and has fooled everyone so far and gotten great reactions! If you want a great effect that you "have on you at all times", this is it!

The question isn't why is he releasing this for just $15 but why is he releasing it at all. He must be insane to release ssomething this good! This really is a metal masterpiece at it's finest. And more then worth it's weight in gold! If you want the best method for this type of effect look no further.this is the final answer! I highly recommend it!

Very very good ideas.

hey guys i bought this trick few days ago and i have been working on magic and mentalism for 2 year now and here is my review
The Trick is v.good if it gets the 1st hit (u have to by it to know the secret) 1st hit contain 2 questions thou!
i still felt that sometime spectator do lie and sometime they are just way tooo honest hence the trick gets weird but yes if it works then it can be a miracle
and yes they have give 2 tricks one is an on stage version which is kinda difficuot to understand but other is close up so yeah i would recommend it
