Amazing utility items. The effects possible
number in the hundreds.

This is a great video for anyone looking to get into impression devices that you can make up
yourself. Also has some Pendulem work in conjunction with impression device presentations. I like
Marc's work, and for the asking price here, I believe this video to be good investment. If you are a
more advanced Mentalist, you may not find anything you perhaps already know.
I would like
to see a more detailed follow-up release with some advanced methods and routines. Perhaps more
Pendulem work as well.

marc Salem is a well respected performer who I have great respect and admiration for
I looked
forward to his penguin lecture and was a little let down by his attitude and what I felt was a lack
of valuable information taught at the time .
this short but very sweet lecture was well worth my
money
he was informative ,giving ,to the point, inspiring not condescending as I felt he was in
his online lecture. Like Richard Osterlind he has became a wonderful teacher
I look forward to
future teachings of his
my faith has been renewed .

I thought I knew pretty much everything out there about pendulums, but Marc Salem's routines were
outstanding and original. Yes, the information on duplications is excellent and that's what I
bought it for but his pendulum work truly impressed me! An excellent buy!

I've been fascinated with Marc Salem's work for years. He tips some workhorse methods here that
could be used equally for stage as for strolling. He couples two different effects on here. At
first, I thought the second effect was going to be mere filler. I was so wrong. The coupling of
these two effects goes to demonstrate how subtle his thinking is. Watch the full performance first,
before jumping to the explanation. It demonstrates the wisdom of his years of serious experience.
Marc will also send two pages of signed and numbered material that was even too secret for the
download. You could request this directly from him at marcsalem18@gmail.com.

I have been using clipboards for drawing duplication and other effects for some time, and I've been
intrigued by pendulum work, but have never attempted it -- yet. That's about to change. Not only
does Visions have a great set of ideas for clipboard construction and use, but ALSO a fantastic
introduction to pendulum work. But above all is Marc's integration of pendulums into a clipboard
mind reading routine. What a great way to add interest and atmosphere to a presentation. I loved the
use of the pendulum as part of the reveal, and it provided perfect cover for some important work
that needs to be done as part of the process. This will be one of those downloads that has a major
effect on my presentation, and it was well worth every penny. :)

This was an OK video on making some impression devices, but at $19.95 it is seriously overpriced.
If this video is used to judge, calling Marc Salem one of today's most outstanding mentalists is a
little over-rating.

I had high expectations for this download. I was disappointed. It is only 47 minutes long. The clip
board portion offered nothing new for someone with the most basic knowledge of impression clip
boards. As for the pendulum, it too was a very basic explanation but did have a couple nice "Marc"
touches. Unfortunately I'm not sure I could say it was "worth the price of admission."

In my experience, anything Marc Salem publishes is worth studying. One of the greatest mind readers
of our time.
Those new to mentalism will benefit the most from VISIONS, although
experienced mind readers will likely learn a few very valuable new ideas. I did.
If you are new to mentalism, this "double feature" download by the great Marc Salem is just the
ticket and will open your eyes to how darned clever modern mentalism really is. First on the bill
is Marc's take on impression clipboards. I did smile to myself when he showed how to make an
excellent semi-high-tech one out of a special memo board that you can buy for about $20 at Staples.
This is all standard but essential for any mentalist.
The second half of the double bill
deals with the fundamentals of pendulums, and while there is only about 20 minutes worth of
material, it's pretty terrific. I don't use pendulums. Now maybe I will. Good stuff.
Is
it worth the price of admission? If you are a beginner, most definitely. If you have any
experience with imp devices and pendulums, probably not. So now you know...
