If you've been exposed to Looch in the past it's obvious that he works in the real world and every
idea shared in this lecture confirms that fact.
"Would You Rather?" is a GREAT combination
of principles that leads to a very clean and deceptive prediction of free responses to the topical
game. The way the prediction is brought into play was a pleasant surprise because of how clean and
open it appears.
"Inspire & Explore" is a nice variant on "Name and Place" that combines
some bold (but simple) choreography/routining with a clever gimmick. If you're looking for a version
of this plot that requires a minimal amount of manual dexterity this is a solid rendition to study.
"The Line Up" is essentially a chair-test paired up with "Sneak Thief" and the underlying
methods used are characteristically "Looch" (simple and direct). An interesting interaction with one
of the participants is caught on film during the routine that makes it clear how quick-witted Looch
is during a live performance. He handled a challenging situation like a true pro and didn't alienate
the person in question. Nice job Looch!
"School Days" is a variant on 4DT that, agian, is
simple and direct. I smiled during the explanation because Looch and I think along VERY similar
lines for this routine. I KNOW the choreography he recommends works because it's almost identical to
how I've been performing my version(s) of 4DT for years. This is definitely worth a look if you're
seeking a solid piece of mentalism that permits multiple reveals of information.
Overall,
this is a wonderful collection of thoughts from a man who knows what he's doing. Thanks for sharing
with the community!
