There are some similar methods out there for accomplishing this effect but the application in my experience is completely unique. Yes, there is a little A&C component to it that takes about 20 minutes. Andreas walks you through it in the video and what is provided via download, looks great, is well defined, and can be created in a variety of ways. One way not mentioned on the video is to use a box of photographic paper. I used 'Elite image'photo paper and it did take me several attempts to get what I wanted out of 'the cards'. Mostly sloppy A&C on my part. I found the photograph paper to make a better 'copy' for my needs, it creates a 'stiffer' card and one you can wipe clean easily when necessary. Any sloppy A&C can be removed with a razor blade or pocket knife. Personal choices. What is required for 'memory' is easy and a mnemonic of sorts is provided. It's helpful and you can create a cheat sheet to carry with you with the materials provided but if you do this a time or two, you won't need it. I often review such things prior to actual presentations. I found some aspects of the method a bit difficult to 'read' but two options are provided and one is 'easier' than the other. I made a set of each because lighting, or 'conditions' might make a moment to consider which set to use. I found the download for materials took a REALLY LONG time but this could be my computer. I like this for 'up close and personal' performances and personally would probably not use if from stage but for those who do such things, you will have what you need. Andreas demonstrates both. Honestly, I probably won't use this in every performance but rather, have it in among my 'tools' when 'reading' cards, Tarot, Palms, 'Personality Profiling' or plain 'Cold Reading'. In the course of an evening of such performances, especially repeating those things, this will be a handy tool in the box. As noted, you can do this one over and over and gain different outcomes. I would likely throw in something 'related' in between and Andreas alludes to this in the video. You can do it 'straight' as a 'character/personality reading, or tied to Palm Reading, Tarot or whatever. I will probably use it 'straight' and call it a form of 'personality distinction or describe it as a tool to help define personality characteristics unique to this spectator. Something else not mentioned on the video is you will find this easier if you are across from the spectator and you can keep your cards 'oriented' the same way as the spectator's, that's helpful. Sitting next to the spectator makes that easier still. Not essential but 'helpful'. Andreas demonstrates both on the video Not a difficult thing to 'manage. Just remember to keep the cards 'oriented'. I kept this from a 5 star only because of the difficulty with the download, the fact I am a little 'messy' in the A&C and the fact I won't use it in every performance but as noted, those are probably MY problems. Nice effect for performer and spectator, well presented to learn, 95% materials are 'good ones', provided in the download and the remaining 5% you probably have within reach!
