Magic Tricks

As a beginner in mentalism, a variety of techniques were taught. Not only does he teach strong effects in detail, he explains his process as a performer.

Effects taught include:
Equivoque - two bags, one contains broken glass
Q & A - requires a gimmick
bookless booktest - requires a gimmick, this routine is performed on fool us
which hand - requires gimmick, ends with 3 pieces of information "provided by t he audience"
These effects are all intertwined in his opening routine for a specific reason.

A prediction using gum, a ring & a coin - uses same gimmick as his which hand routine.

7 card prediction - a spectator picks 7 random cards, multiple spectators can think of different cards & Colin divines each one

Another equivoque trick - one spectator draws a card, the other thinks of a card through a process of elimination & the two card match

Think of a card - Colin spreads through the deck & the spectator thinks of any card, the spectator does the same & Colin thinks of a card, both Colin & the spectator pull out the card they think the other is thinking of & both are correct, uses a gimmick

Finally a close up trick - a billet is passed around a table, spectators write 3 pieces of information on the billet (name, place, drawing). then on another billet Colin does the same. Colin asks the spectators to guess what he wrote down with varying accuracy (can be improved with psychological forces for 100% accuracy). Colin then guesses with 100% accuracy what the spectators wrote down.

Overall this lecture was packed with a lot of great mentalism with many different methods. The downside is his routine is sleightly gimmick heavy with many effects using, sometimes an expensive, gimmick.
However, a lot of value in this lecture can also be found in his explanation of his performance, not the methods but things such as the order of effects, overcoming mistakes, & promoting other great mentalist crediting their influence on his effects & guiding you to look at other great mentalism.
