Miss all justification that would have make it "real mentalism effect" Report this review

Well, here is the routine sequence:
1) you ask for the spectator ID card and place it yourself in an envelop, and leave it on the table
2) you place your ID card in an envelop
3) you ask the spectator to devine what is written on your ID (!!!!)
4) he divine nothing (wow!!!)
5) you devine what is on his ID card

Real mentalism is about what people think, feel, are... not what is written on a paper. You should pretend to have a sort of "connection", and for that, you need a "mind" to be connected with.

So, to be able to present this effect based on the usage of an ID card, you should have a perfect excuse to ask the spectator ID card and place it in an envelop, and then, forget about it for the rest of the routine!!!
There is absolutely no justification for this part in this routine!

And the part where you ask the spectator to guess your ID information and fail is sooooooo bad! If you do that, you should be able to make him guess correctly at least one little thing, otherwise you make him feel like a sucker.
