Magic Tricks

I purchased this download, along with a few others Penguin will soon make available, direct from Colin a month or two ago.

Quite simply, this set of videos is one of the best investments I've made in the last year or two.

ENVision is a one hour "deep dive" dissection of a real-world routine that Colin has used COUNTLESS times in live and televised performances.

This is an update on the routine "By Association" from his book DIVINE. He has pushed the core idea much further and turned this into a mini confabulation using the simplest of items (an envelope, a pen and a piece of paper).

"By Association" didn't capture my imagination in a big way when I read DIVINE, but "ENVision" is something I'm absolutely going to play with. At the end of this download Colin also tips his pet headline prediction (based on Bruce Bernstein's "A Sporting Prediction").

Here's the thing - I've been a fan of Colin's thinking for years, so I already knew all of the core ideas/techniques utilized within these newest downloads. That said, I'm still EXTREMELY pleased with these projects.

There are few mentalists out there that have performed as frequently, for as many people, and in as many "high pressure" environments as Colin. When someone like that speaks, I listen.

It was illuminating to hear him explain why he made some of the choices he did when using this material on TV (and in other contexts). These insights ALONE were, for me, more than worth the cost of admission. It was also a pleasure to view several never before shared performances of this routine.

In short, get this not only for the wonderful routine taught, but more importantly for the thoughts/touches that Colin shares as a true master of his craft.
