I'm not going to go through every detail of the manuscript but I will say this: It is a reflection of many hours of hard work and many years of experience actually using the methods that are offered. I think that everyone who takes their craft seriously is always searching for the perfect effect. The 'real deal.' We have all bought products only to discover the promises made to be untrue, or that they were true but the method was unrealistic, or required too much prep, or even if it did meet all these requirements after knowing further info realizing that my character would never do this, or a vast array of other factors that make this "perfect effect" imperfect. Mr. Atlas makes a very compelling case that the anagram is the this perfect effect. The 'real deal.' Nothing written, no tearing, peeks etc just pure mind reading.

But wait.....Anagrams?! I know what you are thinking. Standing and guessing off letters makes the method very transparent and destroys any credibility of real mind reading. Furthermore, anagrams are inherently limited. Why can I only think of a fruit? A real mind reader could tell me anything I was thinking of, not just what fruit I am thinking of.

Fear not. Mr. Atlas shows how to use the anagram in a way that you are not seen to be randomly guessing letters. Even more importantly, Atlas teaches how to give anagrams the context necessary in order that they are relevant to the spectator and hide their limitations. Specifically, making it seem as if the spectator could really think of anything.
Not only do you get the real work for using anagrams in a close-up setting but he gives an absolutely brilliant method for using anagrams in a stage presentation which completely hides the method and creates a very, very convincing piece of mind reading. Beyond all this, Mr Atlus even includes anagrams for you to use and even shows you how to create your own.
And now for the negatives....
The only real problem or complaint I have with the manuscript and the method is that which Mr. Atlus says himself, it will take a lot of time, effort and practice to perfect the anagram in order that it can be performed in a credible way. That being said, no good think comes easy. If you are willing to dedicate the time and effort then I would urge you to check out the prodigal. For those of us who only want the real thing, this is it. The only limitations will be your own investment into it. This really is one of those rare times when the hype is real.

FINAL THOUGHTS: If you are willing to work for it, this manuscript will allow you to perform an anytime anywhere real piece of mindreading that can be done naked with no props, set up , stooges or anything else. JUST THE REAL DEAL! BUY IT!
