At first I was a bit wary about the book, given that it's Andreu's first Mentalism book in paperback
format and I hadn't read similar material before.
As a performer I constantly strive to
refine my show with better and better ideas. This actually encouraged me to give MindSight a chance
and read it.
Weeks later, after studying the systems, I found myself creating, developing
and adapting several of the explained book approaches to ideas I had thought of before.
The routines can be easily adapted / combined to work along with several Craig Filliceti's
products (Evo / MD, just to mention a few) I already own.
The main routine (Direct
Mindreading Masterpiece) is worth the "admission" price. It works amazingly well with my Sixth Sense
2.5. But the best of all is you don't even need an actual coin to perform this amazing mindreading
feat.
After combining several approaches with DMM, it has become a main part of my
repertoire for stage shows.
As an opener it's an ultra-powerful, dynamic and engaging way
to captivate my audience attention. There is a version with 4 spectators, it works like a charm and
I'm actually making use of this one. Andreu credits Derren Brown for inspiration on this routine,
and it definitely feels like something he would actually perform on his shows, based on his body
language reading skills.
After performing several of the routines, the results are simply
astonishing. Generally, after my show ends I get from 5 to 10 spectators to ask how I developed the
"gift" of being a mindreader. This talks by itself about the quality of this release.
Although MindSight relies on the binary principle, the effects contained are brilliant and the
best of all are the provided approaches to suit your personality as a performer.
You will
find some very useful ideas if you're into Mentalism, if not, you may go back to your sponge and
balls. MindSight is for serious performers of the art, dedicated to read and study. As the outcomes
are surefire then the result is well worth the effort.
MindSight is a very inspiring book,
from a very creative author.
Highly recommended!
Dave.
