The mastermind behind Harpacrown brings you a deviously good new system based closely off an old principle. It is true that the principle itself could be seen as transparent, it’s Mark’s presentation and scripting as a whole which makes this oh-so fooling. If devining the star sign wasn’t enough Mark’s combination of bold and clever scripting allows you to get your spectators WHOLE birthday. Yes you read that right; the day, the month and the year with 100% accuracy every time.
If for some reason you didn’t want to reveal a spectator’s birthday, not to worry because Mark has included further instruction on reading and devining one spectators star sign or devining two spectators star signs simultaneously. Personally I love the idea of using the intuition cards for Pre-show as Mark does.

What is taught:
Basic Effect - After testing the participants intuition the performer gives a reading and correctly devines the participants star sign.
Intermediate Effect - After testing the participants intuition the performer gives a reading and correctly devines the participants star sign and date of birth.
Advanced Effect - The performer correctly devines the star signs of two participants.

For what you pay this is a steal. As well as getting the highest possible quality props you get detailed instruction, professional routining and perfect scripting all straight from Mark who has obviously worked this material extensively. All I can say is that this is something that every mentalist who enjoys pure star sign or birthday revelations should have in their repertoire, it truly is a class piece of mentalism.
Pros
-High quality props included
-Simple and easy to do
-Versatile and can be used in a number of different ways
-100% accuracy
Cons
-A little memory work (You have to know the star signs, in order of by heart) however, you have the option of using a crib.
-Some mathematics involved (However these are very basic)

Product Quality: 10
The intuition cards included are designed by Phil Smith and printed by Steve Haresign (Haresign Press) on the thickest business card stock available and then laminated, so they should last you a lifetime with proper care. On top of that they come with a nice, thin plastic carry case which will keep the cards as good as new.
Teaching Quality: 8
I found the instruction sometimes confusing, however I am sure this is not down to Mark’s teaching abilities but rather the mathematical nature of the effect. Mark goes into each aspect in great detail sharing valuable subtleties and nuances.
Overall Rating: 95%
Highly recommended.
