Banachek consistently releases material of the highest quality, and "Headline Predictions" exceeds even his high standards. Headline predictions have of course been around for decades. What Banachek teaches in this program are updated approaches with multiple layers of deception that will fool even the most analytical and skeptical.

Contemporary mentalism is somewhat plagued by a plethora of new releases, many of which are horrible and a complete waste of time and money. Banachek's releases are quite the exception, consistently, refreshingly outstanding in content and teaching style.

Headline Predictions is not just an incredible routine with 4 methods taught, but quite possibly the single best marketing system available for professional mentalists or those desiring a professional career.

Highest recommendation possible.

THE SHORT OPINION: It's Banachek - of course it's excellent (doesn't that go without saying?)!

THE LONG(er) OPINION: This is a masterclass in "labratory conditions" prediction techniques with the end game of increasing your visibility through publicity stunts. Although they are demonstrated primarily in terms of "Headline Predictions" Banachek makes a point of clarifying that they are quite versatile strategies that one could even employ within a stage performance.

The first method is the most involved but provides some excellent convincers and conditions that I've not come across before (he tips a way to have the ACTUAL prediction signed by a committee member before it's sealed inside an envelope and the same person can verify their signature when it's again opened - crazy right?!).

The second method was shared in PS3 (I believe - I don't have the book at hand) - but I loved seeing it detailed in video format. It's a very disarming, natural, and cunning strategy for accomplishing a newspaper prediction. And there's some great subtleties that I don't recall reading about in PS3.

The third method, while not my cup of tea, I still found valuable in that it demonstrates how Banachek thinks outside the box to accomplish miracles even under challenge conditions and using materials that are readily available to him.

And the fourth method features Banachek's update to a classic tool. He takes the time to explain its constructions but also states that they will be released through Penguin in the near future.

The video last just shy of an hour and a PDF is included providing even more detail on the various methods.

This is a FIRST-CLASS release from a CLASS-ACT guy.

Thanks for sharing these ideas with the community Banachek!

Best,

Drew

This is brilliant.

My first concern was how much this could be similar to Luke Jermay's method (I knew a good amount of things on the subject before that). I wasn't sure if I could add a lot to what I know. If you also have this concern, I can confidently say that you MUST have this. Their ways of doing things are very different and there are things here I'm quite sure you won't find anywhere in the market. Both of them rely a lot on psychology but there's a difference about what is bold and what is subtle. Each have their own strengths. I don't want to repeat what was said and I don't want to go in deeper details:

Method 1 - This is the heaviest method. The one posted by Drew. There are a lot of convincers here and pretty much everything can be signed, including the prediction itself. It's quite "laboratory conditions".

Method 2 - This one relies more on psychology than in anything else.

Method 3 - A method with a little something most of us will have.

Method 4 - A method with a gimmick you have to make.

One of those methods requires you to do something most of the other methods require... and the other 3 methods don't. The psychology here (as you would expect from Banachek) is impressive. There's also a little DR explained for having something that cannot be signed to actually be "signed". I'll definitely remember it if I need (a real fooler). Personally, I intend to mix things from methods 1 and 2... but you could add ideas here to anything you want/need/know.

This project will pretty much open your eyes and give you tools to customize a lot to yourself... it's top notch material from the world's leading mentalist, what would you expect?

Okay thought-readers! Here you go! Banachek absolutely delivers the BEST stunt you can do to gain REPUTATION & PUBLICITY quickly and directly! These secrets are powerful weapons to the solo mentalist and go far beyond the others. You could predict just about ANYTHING you want with this methods WEEKS BEFORE your performance!!! If you own PS3, he explains in detail the final "Past, Present & Future Headlines" (aka 1,2,3,4,5 Prediction) news prediction. You'll feel comfortable actually seeing Banachek discuss it too. 4 explained Headline Predictions that are worth so much more than you dreamed. I own the fancy ones too. "Clear-Vue Prediction" & "Dream Prediction".... I gotta give those guys props, but these methods are so clever and so direct, you could actually convince your spectators of authentic mind power!
Here's the line-up:

1.) Magnificent Prediction - Superb thinking with beautiful execution! Looks so impossible and worth thousands! A reputation making act alone!

2.) 1,2,3,4,5 Prediction (from PS3) - 5 predictions unsealed you never touch are opened by the spectators. Each Prediction gets more serious than the previous! Perfect money making routine that lets your audience know your the real deal! Explained even better from seeing Banachek actually talk you through it.

3.) M&M Prediction - All I can say is WOW! If you're a strolling mentalist, this is for you! Can literally be done right before you walk on stage on on the fly! So astonishing! I think this is worth the money for the whole set! Love love LOVE!! His thoughts on this are a gem!

4.) Billet *** - This one is so clever, I couldn't bring myself to tell the full title! 😜 You can tell some thinking went into the delivery of this ingenious item! I watched in full amazement (as I always do when he Banachek performs & teaches) talking about this. This is one of those "I gotta have that" if you're a real working mentalist! An item you'll want to use especially you look keeping it small and simple, yet perform a powerhouse prediction! You could literally perform this on the beach!

I'm so appreciative of Banachek's gift to the mentalism circle! His contributions and willingness to go beyond with each tip and technique displays that he genuinely wants his material to be performed correctly to the fullest of effect. He does just that with this! Get this!!! You will begin a journey into publicity you've always dreamed!

There's not much for me to add that hasn't already been said here. If you want to do a headline prediction, you must get this. The methods are all fantastic--and all convincing--so it's just a matter of how involved you want to get. I can't wait until Banachek markets the device he shows you how to make for the fourth method. Straight out of Corinda, it's been all but forgotten, but it's great. (And no, it's not a b***** k****.) For me, the best take-aways were the subtleties that make your prediction startlingly inexplicable, like having the actual prediction itself signed by the witnesses. That for me solves the problem in every headline prediction method.

Banachek always delivers. You get an hour-long video and a PDF file, and he explains everything concisely and perfectly. If you are a working mentalist, this material will pay for itself over and over again.

It's Banachek need I say more?

When it comes to Headline Predictions Banachek's version encompasses all the strengths, and eliminates most of the weaknesses of this effect. Get someone famous involved in the performance and you have the potential to achieve wider name recognition. Just ask Devin Knight.

I used to do headline predictions with a billet knife and hated the little billet at the end... this download is great and you can choose from 4 methods, one of which Looch actually devloped further. But that one is not my favorite... there is one on this download that is so easy and so convincing (with my own slight changes) it is the one I use now all the time. Higly recommended.

Methods 1 & 2 are worth the price of admission. Method 2 is a perfect compliment to Devin Knight's " psychic hero" manuscript
Method 3 was good but already familiar with that method.
Method 4 is a technique I Will probably never used, but that's just me.

Great effect.
