For anyone who is interested in this effect, I plan to discontinue it on January 1 2011. I have been very pleased with the reviews I have received from performers I have the highest regard for (i.e Sean Waters, Ben Harris and Tom Baxter). I have many reasons for taking it off the market on January 1. I have no plans to sell it again but I may---I know with certainty that I will not market it again for at least one year. So, if you have any interest in purchasing it--now is the time. You can find it at http://www.imentalism.com/e-books/cards/tocsnd
Thanks Greg |

My personal opinion of Greg's effect is that its the sort of thing I could see certain mentalists using, but not myself. It does do as promised, though the number bit is a tad dubious, however it doesn't really use any even remotely unique principles, yet feels like the sort of thing you could easily and competently pull off, but no more or no less. I personally wouldn't use it because I like performing effects that are nearly as intellectually stimulating to me as to my audience.
Thus the ideas behind Thought of Card Signed, Numbered, and Delivered are not ones that I find appealing, but they do their job very well (I got a hold of some of the "materials" and a pack to make this, although I left out the numbered part). So, in conclusion, while I wouldn't go so far as to say that it will be worth the asking price for everyone; indeed most intelligent mentalists could accomplish it, or something quite close in a pinch with just a description alone, and hit on the exact method, but for the novelty of being able to do it, and the fact that it does work, and does impress, I would give it a 7/10, with my regards. It has a very Anneman-like feel to it, and if you enjoyed certain portions of Practical Mental Effects, I could see you greatly liking this.

DekEl--Thank you for your thoughtful review. I agree that no effect is perfect for everyone. I created this effect originally just for me with no intention of marketing it (in that sense, it is truely "underground"). I tailored it for me--absolutely no sleight of hand so I could concentrate 100% on the presentation. As you say, it does work and for someone looking for a thought of card effect or card to wallet that does not involve palming or some other sleight this will fit nicely. My best recommendation was Sean Water's earlier comment that "if Greg had done this for me, he would have fooled me (with the combined aspects)."

I have had a few people pm me about this effect with two questions:
1) Am I truely taking it off the market on January 1, 2011---the answer, YES. The only issue will be if the site that sells it is slow to take it down. However, I assume it will be off the market on Jan 1 and I have no plans to sell it again. 2) Why am I taking it down? There are many reasons but the main one is that I don't want to check paypal everyday for the rest of my life for orders. I know there are sites which take care of it for me but... Anyway, thanks to all who have contacted me and happy holidays. Greg |
