Shocking, amazing, impossible to them. And, oh, so satisfying for you.

This will drive people insane! So fair, but it really makes no sense how it works. Especially when they think about what just happened. Actually, the more they think about it, the more they’re fooled!

Docc said it best: The beauty of this particular trick is that you don't even need to understand how it works to perform it like a pro. It’s the ultimate party mind-reading trick because you can quickly gather people, a few items, and perform an effect that has built-in drama and suspense. And, you can predict ANY outcome. The Note is impromptu, it demonstrates an awesome power, and it plays huge.

Impromptu after one-time setup.
Fools everyone.
Customizable.
Easy enough that you can really focus on your presentation.
Fun to do.
And a great way to engage a small group.

This is classic Docc Hilford. The Note takes a crazy cool method and turns it into a routine suitable for a professional presentation.

Decent, but not my style Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 20th, 2017
This is what I get for ordering things when I've had only 4 hrs of sleep in 3 days.
I can't say the demo is deceiving, because it isn't. I just didn't pay enough attention.
With that being said... if you want your mentalism to appear as you predicting the totally free choice of a spectator, then this isn't for you.
If you don't mind giving a spectator step by step instructions (way too many) to ultimately end up with one item that you predicted, then this IS for you.
I'm not a fan of mathematical mentalism, at all. Just seems pointless to give all those instructions then expect the spectator to honestly believe it was truly their choice. This isnt exactly "mathematical" mentalism... but way too close in my opinion.
I like Docc Hilford, and a lot of his material. But this just isn't up to par with his usual standards.

Good routine and utility move Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 13th, 2017
The Note, a nearly self-working impromptu mentalism effect, by the great Docc Hilford has process, a lot of process. Ordinarily that would be a big turn-off, but in this case, the elaborate process strengthens the effect. You can use this as a standalone routine or as a utility supplement to something like Mental Epic. Either way, you'll have this down cold in the time it takes you to watch the 23-minute video. The affable Hilford does a clear and thorough job of explaining this, but you really only need to remember one thing--and it's easy.

All in all, this is solid. For the price of a couple of coffees, you have a nice routine that you can perform anywhere, anytime.

Meh Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 17th, 2017
Odd that this trick didn't come with a small PDF with the instructions written down. I liked the idea someone suggested in the comment section of using different values of money and just giving the guy his penny back at the end.

This is one of those tricks for me where the secret plays better than the trick. I'm glad I know how it's done but will never use it.

Good Trick Not So Much on Explanation Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 13th, 2017
Docc should have included a written description .pdf of what was in his secret book and clearer instructions.

I don't have time to start, stop, rewind, play, repeat to understand all the nuances of the trick.

Also, no instructions on how to handle if something bad happens......Lax is great at this!!

And the Capchas are a pain!!!!

Still great! I've made official instructons from the desk of Dr Rhine Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 27th, 2021
Love this piece. Not done it for a while (thanks Covid), but will resurrect for close-up Bunco shows.

I've mocked up an official Experiment rubric from the desk of Dr Rhine for us modern experimenters to follow. (happy to share).

Excelent trick! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 2nd, 2017
I loved the fact that it can be performed with nothing but 6 little objects and a piece of paper.

Also I liked that, even though it works automatically must of the times, it has an extra secret that you have to perform so it works perfectly every time.

Perfect Piece for a Get-together Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 13th, 2017
I really liked Hilford's The Note.

It's not a walk-around piece, but it's great for a table of friends.

I think it would be an awesome piece for when you don't have much time and you only want to perform one thing. It's long enough for you to play with the participants and share your personality ... without overstaying your welcome.

I don't know what all the controversy on the "board" was all about, this is a fantastic little performance piece.

I said it wasn't a walk-around routine, but maybe it is. What if you have a table of regulars and you want to visit for a second ...

All I know is I picked up and I'm glad I did. Good job Docc!

The Note Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 31st, 2022
Just had the opportunity to learn The Note by Docc Hilford.
WOW! This is a great effect with lots of potential! Just finished making up my version of this effect but using
prop dollar bills. a 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, and a 100. I present it like a ESP Lottery game.

Close to Ideal Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 5th, 2017
Docc has introduced a very nice effect. I like most the impromptu nature of the effect and the use of borrowed objects from spectators. Very clever in method and something that I'm looking forward to adding to my repertoire.

Fun,useful and easy to do. Will baffle the audience. Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 10th, 2017
Simple to do, have this in your notebook (and you should have a notebook) and you'll always be able to confound and amaze. It's self-working (don't we all love that), very baffling and the secret is invisible.

Fun to do at party or with a group of people before going in to any number of routines.

I'm going to be using this.
