$16 - I got it with an email discount, I think I paid a tenner? what is it - mp4 download what does the spectator see - you produce some business cards, take three, give them one and a marker - they draw/write whatever they want and their card is placed very simply between the two other cards. The participant puts a hand out, you place all three cards in their palwhatm, and either put yours or their remaining one on top...you reveal the thought and give them back their card... what I think in many ways I was frustrated with it, but I think more with myself than Lewis. This is good. However, I've created a different gimmick to the one you make yourself (you need a basic tool that pretty much all homes have laying around and your business cards, nothing else - takes seconds to make the gimmick, takes 20 seconds to make one)... I was also frustrated because its so similar to other things that have been out in books over the years in mentalism, so this really is clever reductionist thinking...at first I think anyone with average mentalism knowledge will be angry/frustrated, then they'll make one and use it and then smile a little... Lewis adds a few touches and ways of doing it all - well explained...well taught...I've used it in anger a few times, works well.... surprised a certain well known move wasn't mentioned though to add a nice convincer to everything... however - maybe its a little pricey in the scheme of things, but then price is relative on many levels overall, I liked it, 8/10

I wonder if it's anything like AOK.

OK, I bought this on IAIN's recommendation.
I pretty much agree with everything IAIN said. This is certainly not something you've never seen before if you've been performing mentalism for any time at all. It's basically, like IAIN said, not a new method by any means but a more minimalist approach to the myriad of other same methods out there. All it takes is three biz cards and a pen. I have a few of Lewis's other offerings like AOK and carny cartomancy, and enjoy his thinking. Is it worth $16...well, not for me to say. It's all relative. |

Sounds similar to Scott Creaseys SPIT
Look for all the world like you're counting the brain cells in his cranium.

Sounds like an old idea by J.G.Thompson that both T.A.Waters and Max Maven has published a versions of it over the years among other creators.

Is this just a thinner version of Looch's Retina, with Lewis's handling?
