Let me first address the misleading claims. In Ghostotal, we're told, "Another person thinks of a small number, then follows the group's instructions regarding adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing his number". No, this is not true at all. The person is following YOUR instructions, not the group's.

In "In-nile-ation" we're told the spectator "keeps their number in mind". This is not true... they don't keep it there at all... they tell you what the number is, and you hope no one else in the audience overhears.

In "New-mero", the claim is, "Everyone watches as the numbers are written down". Well, yes and no... at first they're watching... then later, not so much.

Aside from the effect descriptions being full of misleading claims, the routines themselves are full of ridiculously bold moves with the assurance, "Don't worry, you won't get caught". I'm skeptical. Just because an audience is too polite to tell you they saw right through one of these ridiculously bold moves, doesn't mean you didn't get caught.

The only things that keep this from being rated are 1 are Crystal Vision, which is an interesting idea, but not 100%, and Bartender's Nightmare, which isn't really a killer, but at least it's workable and the description doesn't misrepresent it.
