Magic Tricks

For the past year I’ve been studying mentalism, in particular Banachek and Richard Osterlind. I’ve learned a great deal from these two masters, and was really looking forward to also learning from Kenton Knepper. I made the decision to purchase the downloadable lecture based on the positive reviews, and have to say I was really disappointed. There were several good effects in the three hour lecture, but the majority of the effects left me flat, as did Kenton’s performance style. When I watched Banacheck’s PSI series DVDs for the first time, I had many jaw dropping moments where I was blown away, saying out loud, ‘WHOA! How’d he do that?!’ Same with Osterlind’s Easy to Master Mental Miracles (in particular DVD #1). But I didn’t have a single ‘WOW’ reaction to any effects in the Kenton Knepper lecture. Clearly there are people who really like Kenton’s approach, but this lecture did nothing for me.
