I almost didn't buy this because of the negative reviews. However, I am glad that I did. I think
that serious students of mentalism will find this an excellent lecture. If you're a beginner, I
would recommend that you put this on your wish list, get a bit more experience and then buy this for
some wonderful gems of wisdom from a true master of the art.
In many ways, Mr Cassidy was
in character as "devil-may-care", immature, larrikin, dirty old man. He added alcoholic to this.
His language was coarse at times (and unfortunately a censored version is not available).
Despite all this, this lecture has everything a mentalist would want from the scope of this kind
of lecture.
Don't expect a super-master class for seasoned professionals, but also don't
expect a beginner-style "trick-method-trick-method" affair either.
He explains a lot about
the thinking behind his show and teaches many of the effects that make it up.
Dan does a
great job at keeping the master mind reader in check and the live audience obviously appreciated it
as much as I did.
Highly recommended; I don't regret buying it.
Brilliant even when drunk
