Hello, after getting this book and performing it I wanted to share my experience.

If I read the other reviews I thinks there are some points you have to know before you buy this, otherwise it is too much money.

First of the book is well written and easy to read and understand. I liked the writing style but that could be a personal preference.

The main effect is mind peek. It is a tool and in my experience the best method for people's mindreading. I have had success with many other methods in the past but this is in my oppinion the best I have tried so far. Actually I really enjoy performing this because if it hits it is so strong and feels like real magic.

But it is not real magic. I am sorry to say the only real magic is what our spectators experience if we perform well. That sense of wonder that will never leave them. To get there it is not enough to buy this book. Any book or trick or method will not be enough to achieve that. So if you are a beginner or someone that one has a passing interest in mentalism and is looking for a trick to impress his friends. Move on. This is not for you. I do not mean this insulting in any way but just as a honest warning.

If you however want to really leave a lasting memory this is method that can achieve the sense of wonder I was talking about earlier. But you need prior knowledge, in spectator management, controlling the conversation and just basic skills in mentalism. You also need to have confidence. Most who successfully perform mentalist will know that the performers confidence carrier over, especially in psychological methods. So if I read in a review, it failed as I knew it would fail, then we are talking about a selffullfilling prophecy. This holds true for many mentalism methods.

If you have experience an but in the work this mothod is due you will have fun and success. For me it is just a tool and it opens up a world of possibilities if youncombine it with other mentalism principles. This is just the beginning. You can Finessen it to you crowd of spectators and create wonders. Because that's what it is all about. To take people out of their daily lives on a journey of wonders they will cherish forma long time.

So lastly this book shows the whole uncut performance in the video trailer. If you have no clue how it might work, not even a part of it, I would not recommend to buy it unless you are serious about entering the field of mentalism.

If you do decide to enter this is the key to a new world and you will have fun.

Now Imwrote much more than I wanted to and I hope you will excuse that but I wanted to make my points clear beyond any doubt.

Enjoy
Stefan
