Magic Tricks

Let me start by saying I like Peter Turner. This is not a magic set or a box of tricks. Mentalism is a big topic and many people have different and sometimes strong opinions about what it is or should be. What your expectations are might be influenced by the title "How To Control Minds". Does he teach you Hypnosis or NLP? Well, not really. What he does teach is how he controls the perception of his audience and the volunteers using mostly pre-show, instant stooge, and dual reality. Of course it helps if you are a fan of PT as he talks for hours not just about mentalism, but about his life, books he enjoys, and a few tangents. His accent and one shot camera angles makes this all a bit hard to take in at one time. I am sure PT may not have had complete control over all of this, but the production seems a bit less than what you might expect. YES he has great tips and insight on many routines and you certainly get a lot of info. I just think the context and presentation could have been a bit more streamlined.
