I don't usually write revews, but I can't let people waste their money without speaking out.. the
demo drew me in and i spent the money. It was after I watched the dvd that I realized I had been
deceived, they even admit it in the dvd that they pulled the wool over our eyes in the demo with the
changing of beliefs ploy.. not cool!!! If you want to fry minds with suggestion, then just learn
hypnosis. There is great material out there for waking hypnosis, and trance hypnosis, which will
enable you to do even more amazing things. However, this is just my opinion, so the final choice
is yours. I have been doing hypnosis for the last year, so I'm informed with the material out
there. I suggest Anthony jacquin's material, and penguin stocks it. Hope this helps someone from
not saying, what the hell did I just buy".

I have had the blessing of being able to buy the original TM manuscript. I have to say this material
is NOT for the couch performer nor the youtube conjuer. This IS for professionals and magicians and
mentalists willing to try something new. Your boldness will be rewarded. I have created whole shows
based on the material here.
The packaging is OUTSTANDING, it reminds me very much of the
trilby connection housing box. The structure of the DVD is one of the best Ihave seen. The material
is well....in my veiw ground breaking for those wishing to incorporate hypnotic effects without
hypnosis OR stooges. If you REALY think on this material and ponder you will truly understand how
far you can go with it.
Great job guys

First I must say that the book is printed as a hard cover and that was physically impressive. The
book content and DVD were both well produced. Having said that it was sort of a mixed bag with more
good than bad.
Removing a participants ability to speak, make a participant stuck to an
object are both stellar and each worth the price of the book/DVD individually. I've purchased other
material [Hypochondriac Hypnosis] that attempted to accomplish the same things but this
overwhelmingly came out ahead of those items. Those methods had a much higher fail rate, took longer
to accomplish and were much more obvious. These two routines get 100% from me.
Now onto the
alright bits. I thought that the demonstration of taking the participants strength away was alright.
Honestly, I'm just not that astonished with that plot in the first place and even in the video
demonstrations I thought it was rather obvious what was happening.
And onto the not so
good. The routine where you appear to change a participants personal beliefs in God were not good. A
previous reviewer had wrote that the trailer was selectively edited in order to sell the product and
they admitted it in the DVD. This is the routine for which that is correct. In short, as much as
they boast at the beginning of the DVD and in the trailer that "no instant stooges were used", this
particular bit in my opinion was just that in every sense. Honestly the first two I loved but this
one is garbage.
The bonus routines are unfinished or in the case of ACAAN were just as bad
as the bit about changing one's belief in god. I suppose they were alright as after thoughts but
nothing worth going out and buying.
So in the end, I think that it's a mixed bag. I gave it
a four star rating because of those two very powerful bits that are worth the price of the DVD. If
getting your spectator to not being able to speak and getting them to think their hand is stuck to
an object is of interest to you than please purchase this but if not, than it's not worth your
money.

I have to admit that I purchased this because of what I saw on the trailer ad......after study and
putting what I was learning to practice (and I mean practice like a med student that want's to be a
brain surgeon ) I can say that I've went from being a magician that does tricks....to a "priest"
that performs ritual fully expecting a faithful out come,and now my little acts strung together
like bulbs on a yuletide tree make the performance a religious experience for both spectator and
performer.

I'll be darned if this stuff doesn't work! There is a very tight script that you need to memorize
but if you are willing to put in the time to memorize the script and the proper inflection, then all
you need it to summon the courage to try it. You won't regret it!
Warning! This is not for
newbies. If you are new to magic and mentalism then the principles and subtleties used in this will
likely be over your head.

If you are into dual reality and kenton knepper, definitely a great buy. looking forward to more
stuff by 1914 and fraser. Really enjoy the 1914 website.

This is good. I thought it was going to be all this psychological stuff but its feel like just mind
games and its not so overwhelming complex either. This is something that you can actually do not to
long after learning it. This changed the way that I think a little bit mainly because of the whole
dual concept. This is deep mentaly but not brain busting like how some other mentalism tricks can
be.
A overall, well made dvd except for that last religion trick. I recommend this for what it
is and that is mental magic thats strong just from using words.
And how could the creator come
up with all this. Vwry good.
This may not be for everyone.
The question I have is, why?
I can't fathom not seeing how jaw
dropping this stuff plays.
The author is a seriously gifted thinker.
His stuff is scary
direct, and NOT pipe dreams.
Enjoy :)
