This is really good stuff. Here's my two cents on each trick:
TOUCHING ON HOY: It's a
little risky, but pure "mind candy" if done right.
DANGEROUS OPENER: Finally, a Russian
Roulette without risk!
PRE SHOW SCRIPTING: Not really a trick, just some good ways to get
more information from the spectator without them noticing.
PSYCHIC VS PSYCOLOGICALl: An
awesome essay on how Luke makes sure that his show satisfies both the believers and non-believers of
of the sixth sense.
BLOWING BUBBLES: Sure fire way to make a spectator forget exactly what
they were focusing on. I believe that this was also featured in Building Blocks.
PHONE
PREDICTION: Not as clever as I thought would be, but I do think that I will use this.
PK
LIPSTICK: A great twist on the "Ash/lipstick from your palm to theirs" thing that Criss Angel did.
BLINDFOLD SEQUENCE: I really like this one. It uses a couple gimmicks, but you could find
'em here on Penguin for under .
OVERALL: This is really something that you need to get if
you do pretty much any mentalism. I also recommend 7 deceptions.
