I am very dissapointed by the trailer, discribtion and teaching.I feel more like he is giving hints in how to do it. He is definitly not teaching the routine [my opinion]. It was the last time, i bought peter´s stuff. On his card force pdf he is giving more information on how to do such an effect. That is just stupid and makes me angry. I am really sorry.

If you read the final line of the ad copy, you'll see "Not for Beginners." In my view this is a gross understatement, falling far short of fairly representing the highly advanced, nuanced, and rigorously demanding work required to pull off this effect. In saying this I take nothing away from Peter, unquestionably an accomplished practitioner. I do quibble with his false modesty in saying "I'm not a card man;" indeed, he had to have become a "card man" to pull off what he has. Some of the mechanics will require vastly more hours and years of practical experience to even approach success with this effect. I have more than fifty years in the game and don't consider myself a beginner; willing to work hard, I simply find the learning curve for this one beyond the bounds of practical worth for myself. Others may love it and be willing to stretch the distance. I was disappointed in the representation that his is within the reach of most.

What you get in this download
-variation of the Zarrow(using "guestimation", classic force, think stop,
Looking for easy advantages almost not worth mentioning, using intuition that you aquire with performance experience, and footage of Pete performing his jazz mentalism in studio. I was really hoping he would touch more on his psychological card forcing (loved his PDF on the subject)

So usually I don't speak up much on the review side of projects that I am personally involved in because I feel biased and at the same time...

I feel like a lot of the complaints for this product are people irritated that they don't believe in the methods being achievable by themselves.

Have I been doing material like this for just shy of a decade? Yes.

Can I perform the exact variation shown in the demo and have I done it multiple times? Yes.

Did I clearly understand everything taught to me and progressively take the knowledge out in the real world to completely blow peoples minds?! YES!

I'm not ridiculing anyone or questioning anyone's skills here and at the same time...If a severely ADD 24 year old kid from Columbus, Ohio can do it and understand everything then anyone can.

This is phenomenal information and any one can have the same level of success with it that I have had with it. I hope that those purchasers who have received this project then felt disheartened will go back and review the material with a more simplified mind-set of thinking...

"how can my personality bend these concepts into working pieces of astonishment?"

Take Care,

P.S. Never have I ever had to use the Zarrow shuffle adjustment...just channel your inner DaOrtiz and let that personality cover the displacement OPENLY!

Peter Turner that does what he does. Bold methods, subtleties, old methods revisited, and understanding the situation he is in, each time differently. For anybody wondering if the main trick works, it does. Peter explains everything you need to know to perform the version that he does in the trailer. I tried it the day after I watched it at the bar with a group of friends and went on for an hour just using the concepts and tips he explains. When you get it clean, they have no clue how you pulled it off. When you don't, there is plenty of ways to get around that. Never once it felt to them like I failed or that something didn't work - if you're open to jazzing, that is. If you're not, you should know that it is the main point of Peter's material. I didn't see until a week later that he included for free the pdf which he refers to during the video, very kind of him, although I think that it's better if you come up with your own methods to do what it explains. As usual with Peter, you get the most value from the advices, tips, and thinking behind the mere effect. Worth it if you ask me.

I'm sad to say that I was very disappointed when I watched this explanation. I understand that it's a psychological effect, but I bought it because I wanted to learn how to do it as seen in the trailer, what failed to register at the time was that both spectators named a seven. And yes - it works as in the trailer if they pick a seven, but if they pick any other number, - then shuffling is involved, - NOT what I had wanted at all. Peter is no doubt a very clever magician, but the trailer is very misleading.

If you want to take basic number forces and turn them into something more grand this is for you. The PDF is great and watching Peter perform is great. I put the basic principals to work quickly. PS1 should be a primer for this.

This video is about psychological forcing, and not specifically about the tricks he uses to demonstrate the different forces (and things that look like them). Even still, you'll definitely be able to pull off the effects shown in the trailer pretty much exactly as shown. You definitely need to practice to get the flow and instant response.

His modification to the Zarrow shuffle seems hard at first. But notice if you do Faro shuffles often enough, you begin to nearly always cut at the exact centre of the deck (26 cards), and can tell pretty quickly if you missed the mark. Peter has taken that ability a logical step forward. As a memdeck user, I'm going to be using this for sure.

For the people who think it is staged because of the common recurring numbers - when you try these out in public, you'll quickly discover that this is no exaggeration. He kills 3 immediately because of it.

It is interesting that the spec comes away feeling like they kept changing their mind when it was really directed. Lots of methods demonstrated for getting there. Pretty clever.

The "jazzing" at the end of the video is highly entertaining. There is a lot to be learned in that segment alone.

The video plus the PDF should keep you busy for a while. It's quite a lot of material once you start working on it.

The biggest lesson: Practice and observe - take advantage of *everything* available to you.

I've wrote a review about this download but I did not post it and now it's been almost a month.

What is it?:
The biggest issue I've seen on the reviews is the lack of transparency in the advertisement of what the product entails.
There are no real routines in this download but rather tools (valuable tools) to achieve an effect similar to ACAAN and Vernon's "The Trick that Cannot be Explained". I say similar because these tools allow for flexibility. Again, this product does not give routines. This is not really a negative point, per se (more later).
This download comes with Turner's eBook 1: Psychological Card Forces (30 dollar value).

The Tools:
"Pseudo riffle stacking": a way to "riffle stack"; to get a card from a certain position to another position. This is used as a fail safe. However, although people are stating this is impossible, that is not true. You just need to get the card to roughly the place you want it plus or minus two. Of course, it would be the ultimate goal to get it to the position or plus one but that is not totally necessary as you can use other techniques in the PDF.

"Psychological card forces": Peter's work on psych card forces. This is a complement to his PDF.

"Mechanical Card forces": Peter's take on more "traditional" ways of forcing. This is something that can work 100 percent with practice. The peek taught here is same as the one taught in Freeform Mentalism.

Advice here and there: again Peter's advice and take on mentalism is great and worth its weight in gold. Peter's work on story telling here is great along with his work on dual reality (touched upon in the download).

Performance: Peter performs a jazz routine using some of these techniques. Now, here is where I took off a star. This whole project feels rushed. What would've been super helpful is if Penguin laid Peter's commentary over his performances. In jazzing, a performer's thoughts are valuable as you can see his approach.

Overall, this project without the PDF disappointed many people. However, (with the PDF) this is bold and done correctly, creates miracles. Now with any psy force, it takes confidence, and boldness and practice and practice and practice. Eventually combined with this book and Banachek's PS 1 book on card positions, you can have a truly amazing routine. However, more time could've been spent on the project, mainly a commentary over some of the Peter's performances; especially the last performance.
But Peter is a genius and he can take old principles and turns it into miracles. If you are a beginning mentalist looking for a easy ACAAN this is not it. Look for other works done on ACAAN. If you want something that's 100 percent, this is not it. However if you want to create miracles, get this and make the best out of it. The download is more of a supplement to the PDF then stand alone; the value lies in the both the PDF and the download.
