John Riggs didn't come off like a jerk. He just has a dry sense of humor. Emphasis on the humor
because John made me laugh several times.
As for the quality of material, here's a
personal testimony:
I made an appearance in two variety shows during the 2015 holidays and
used just one of the methods in this lecture for both of them. I combined it with a couple of other
principles of mentalism from other sources to create a hybrid MONSTER of an effect.
After
the first show I did, using ONLY the above mentioned effect for the entire routine, my friend told
me that several ladies in the audience were asking her and others if I had a "special gift".
DURING the second show I did the same routine and, after I read her mind, a female participant
freaked out on stage when I tried to shake her hand. She said, "I'm not touching you!" after fleeing
the stage. You can't buy publicity like that! She seriously thought that if we shook hands I would
know exactly what she was thinking. Hmmm. Wonder what she was thinking. >;)
Once again, I
got this response after using the "hybrid monster effect" that I may never have thought of if I
hadn't watched this lecture!
So yeah, I'd have to say that despite some of the negative
reviews this is a GREAT lecture for Mentalists who know how to create an ambiance and / or how to
recognize a powerhouse principle when they see one.
Big thanks to John Riggs!!!
