I will tell you know that the moves in this DVD are not new. These are Roy's handling of classic
moves. Just like one magician does a retention pass or double lift different from another magician.
The DVD description is also a bit confusing. To make things clear, the effects in the DVD are:
1. Food For Thought - In this routine, the RZ Center Tear is taught.
2. 3 Thoughts - In
this routine, Roy teaches his handling of the Anneman switch that he calls RZ Modified Switch. The
routine also uses the RZ Center Tear.
3. Objective - In this routine, Roy teaches his handling
of the PAM TW Force
4. Your First Kiss - In this routine, Roy teaches his handling of the Acidus
Novus peek that he calls Acidus Alaklinus.
5. Bonus Routine: Your Second Number - Roy teaches
his handling of using the Swami writer.
The DVD description should have described the
effects instead of renaming classic sleights to sound new and attract buyers.
The content of
the DVD is clearly taught and the routines are workers. These are effective mentalism effects.
If you are new to mentalism then you will not be disappointed. If you have been doing mentalism
for a long time, you will appreciate seeing Roy's handlingthat make the "moves" motivated.
What I got away from the DVD:
*I use Roy's handling of the center tear over Richard
Osterlind's Perfected Center Tear because of the ease of tearing the paper. It is hard to tear a
business card folded in 4ths with Richard Osterlind's moves. Roy's handling of the center tear
allows ease of tearing and ease of access of the information without much fumbling.
*Roy's
3Thoughts routine is a mini mentalism act in itself. I will definitely be using this and modifying
the presentation to fit my performance style.
A refreshing approach
