    Don't be fooled by the cheezy 80's style cover Report this review
    Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 29th, 2011
    Don't be fooled by the cheezy 80's style cover this is a very good dvd.
    Likes : The tricks definately pack small and hit big, theres not a weak one in the bunch. Its definatly as good as what I anticipated aswell as fairly priced.
    Dislikes: Cassidy humor is borderline vulgar and somewhat rude. A good mentalist doesn't need sexual inuendows to get over with his audience. His sense of humor won't fit most performers.
    Footage is poor quality, however one must understand this was transferred from VHS.
    Explanations could have been a little more thourogh. You will definatley have to watch the explanations more than once. He completley lost me on the "Card Memory" explanation.
    Overall, I would definatly co-sign for this dvd. If you can't add atleast one of these in your arsinal, theres something wrong with you.

    Some good stuff here Report this review
    Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 3rd, 2011
    soI think it's necessary for anyone studying Mentalism to give some time to Bob Cassidy...to both learn what to do and what NOT to do...
    If you can let yourself get past the fact that this footage is antiquated & that Cassidy is a MAJOR ARROGANT A**HOLE then you can find some quality material here and it's worth the investment...you will find 2 excellent billet routines that are absolutely indispensable...& you will learn a valuable lesson in performance art...how you should NEVER treat an audience...I am baffled as to how this guy ever got booked..

    Master of the Principles Report this review
    Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 5th, 2004
    This is one that you don't want to judge by its cover. I thought the cover of the DVD looked cheesey, and I almost didn't buy it. However, I'm glad that I did. I've been doing magic for about 15 years or so, and I already understood the basic principles of some mentalism; two of the big ones, being the "one ahead principle" and the "multiple outs" principle. These are principles that if not properly understood, will look lame when performing. Bob has, however, mastered these principles and incorporates them into his mentalism in such a way that it looks like real mind-reading. Ignore the goofy cover and buy it!

    The best Report this review
    Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 8th, 2019
    Im a huge admirer of Uncle Bob and this set is full of his classics. All the effects are brilliant, there isnt one I dont like and would consider using them all. Hes also a fantastic performer and so fluid and entertaining. If your new to mentalism PLEASE buy this DVD, watch it, then watch it again and then watch again some more. I've spend thousands over the years studying the art form I love but If i was to start again I would buy 2 things. Easy to master mental miracles by Osterlind and this DVD. With those 2 alone you will have all the material needed to start customising your own show. I honestly believe this DVD along with bobs books are the best bang for your buck when it comes to learning mentalism.

    Valuable lesson in structure Report this review
    Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 11th, 2015
    I think the most valuable thing I learned from this DVD are ways to structure a routine such that it makes it nearly impossible for the audience to backtrack and reconstruct how the effects were done. Very deceptive and mind boggling stuff.
    As to his style and interaction with the audience, it's unfortunate that nowhere on the DVD is it conveyed that the most rude comments he made were jokes directed at fellow performers in the audience that he knew personally that were attending the event. It gives the impression that he pushes it to that extreme with all audience members, which is not the case.

    Great routines Report this review
    Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 2nd, 2010
    Every routine in this DVD is a stunner! While im not the biggest fan of BOBs performance style i personally use three of these routines in my show and they all get great reactions. Through in a few card routines and some fire and you have a hell of a show. ADD TO CART

    Gold material Report this review
    Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 28th, 2021
    This is a great DVD that accents what can be done in mentalism via different methods. It tip toes into billets, envelopes, multi out, and memory routines. So many people note Cassidy's performance style, but truth be told, you aren't meant to copy people's jokes.. he even says it himself on the explanation. I would recommend this to anyone, even if they have just a passing interest in mentalism.

    Very good Report this review
    Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 14th, 2014
    I loved this product. If you are good with misdirection and are confident this is right for you. Plus many of the tricks don't require many materials. Overall a very useful product.
