Note: I didn’t ever purchase the original, so I can’t speak to the amount of value added by the
second round release, but I’m happy I held out for this version because I truly cannot imagine this
effect being further improved. I can’t find a single fault to convey. It is, in a word, perfect.
This routine is up there with the Name and Place routine by Bob Cassidy and Sneak Thief by
Larry Becker as the most wonderfully motivated technical method that is perfectly ingrained in the
plot and structure of the effect. Most of the routines I’ve seen that use this principal have some
kind of drawback - either that the spectators have to expose their choices prematurely or that the
cleanup and matching of thoughts to guesses doesn’t happen until the very end. AOK solves for those
imperfections. The method utilized does not feel like a routine that utilizes this method. It’s
really, really lovely and effortlessly congruent. This was the most delighted I’ve been by a
mentalism routine in quite a while. The presentational touches were delivered earnestly, and the
performances exuded heartfelt sincerity. I’m very impressed by this young man and look forward to
following his career.
Basically Perfect
