Watched it tonight, overall there was some good material, there were routines on there I wish I had seen Bob do to a live audience, for me one of the reasons for purchasing was to see Bob working a close up environment , I think that was lacking in this (not saying there were no live performances - there were a few)

White Dwarf: Spectator billet with image/word in double envelope. This will be something I will be hoping to use with the right presentation

Impromptu Dictionary: As the name says, an impromptu word test with any dictionary. This is a nice idea something worth knowing if you the opportunity arises but not something I would add to my set

Billet Case: nothing new Iam sure physher was sold with this idea included

5 Card Miracle (Prediction): Re-do and DIY of a commercial trick from the 50s or 60s (from Tannen's). ESP card prediction. I want to make one of these up straight away and again with the right presentation I would like to use this as an opener - would of loved to have seen Bob approach a group with this

Find the D. G.: 1 out of 5 (or 6 or 7) closed envelope choice by volunteer. - I didn't think much to this only because I recently read bobs routine in fundamental with a borrowed bill which I much prefer the method and have a place for with a slightly different handling etc

D. N. S.: Name spelling effect with playing cards. Not by Bob Cassidy. Practically self-working , to me this was more mental magic I have personally never been a fan of spelling effects, that said I am willing to give it a go and see what reactions it gets

Them there was some discussion on a few gimmicked decks which I honestly need to rewatch to comment fully on , I don't like too much card material in my mentalism. So I guess I can be happy I got a few things out of this got to source materials for the ESP effect but look forward to using that and white dwarf

4 star review for the fact that their our 2 routines i will perform
