The other day I ordered the collection of eBooks favorably reviewed in the current issue of Genii. For some reason, I had trouble with a download on one of the eBooks. I contacted Greg, and I must say that I have never had a better experience in the realm of customer service! He was instantly all over the problem, and didn't stop until it was solved.
Then I had the pleasure of settling in and reading the material over the weekend, and all I can say is, just buy it! This stuff is just diabolical, and I can't imagine any thinking mentalist not picking up some killer material from it. Even if you don't use the effects themselves (and I can't imagine why you wouldn't), the thinking behind them is a post-graduate course on thinking outside the box. I can't recommend Greg Arce's material highly enough. L. Zaslow

Greg's e-books are uniformly excellent, offering original ideas, new applications of existing ideas and practical, audience-tested presentations.
Greg's 'Arsenal' is available here: http://www.freestylebooktest.com/cashout/ The Cash Out trick is my favourite and something I have been performing continuously since it was released. |

Greg Arce has many wonderful subtleties for other previously published routines. From what I've seen, he is an outstanding thinker and is always willing to answer my questions, and quickly at that. I am glad to know he's a member of the Café.

I don't own (would like to though) any of Greg's items, but from what I've read on here from the man, and seen on his sites, if the hype is true - then he is most definetely something to talk about.
Scott
Thanks! Scott B.

Hi Scott,
What Greg tends to do is create really strong methods for his work. They stand up to daily commercial use and intense scrutiny. His effects tend to be devastating to regular people (and some working pros); meaning they're so impossible, so incredible, you're compelled to believe you're watching the real thing. A couple of my own favorites are his CLEAR NITE (a see-everything, totally-examinable, can-borrow-everything Bank Nite routine) and AWE-SUM TOTAL. Let me, however, describe just one of these; AWE-SUM TOTAL. You have a bunch of slips of paper--with numbers written on them--and a calculator in a little bag onstage. They can be examined to death. You ask anyone in the audience to come up with a 6-digit number (you can have different audience members call out individual digits), which is written down. You then ask someone to add up all the slips of numbers. The total matches the 6-digit number. Everything can be examined once again if necessary. This is just one of the effects in just one of Greg's e-books. Just one. In his collection of e-books, there are many, many devastating and strong effects. Again, this is just one. I don't think anyone has been remotely disappointed with Greg's work; it's a bona fide value. The quotes you see from top pros (regarding Greg) are all totally true. Hope this helps you, James. |

Guys, you are making my head swell. I'm starting to feel like the baby on Family Guy.
Well, thanks for all the kind compliments. I'm happy that those that have gotten the ebooks have found useful ideas inside. I finally got to see the review that David Regal did on my ebooks in Genii. To say that I was taken aback by the great review would be an understatement. I was wearing a big smile all day knowing that someone like David Regal, who I admire greatly, liked some of my stuff. Once again, thank you to all that have read and enjoyed my stuff. Greg

I'm doing pretty good, not as good as you. I'm glad that people are appreciative of your work, you deserve it!
Take care, Ichazod |

Greg,
I heard that your version of Kollosal Killer ("scorched") type effect was fabulous. Jheff told me that I should check "scorched" out, amongst your other ideas. I will be contacting you soon. Cheers, Sean |

Of course the ebook contains other effects too. I was very surprised that a lot of the guys are now using Adam's Prediction as I felt it was just a cute idea... apparently I was wrong and some are getting a lot of mileage out of it. Greg
