If I may answer your question, I'm sure Ian won't mind. It is totally different to Val's Book Test. You can't do his impromtu, with any book and it needs some "work" on your behalf first. Howard |

Thanks Howard. Have you or anyone else here performed it? Just wondering how it plays compared to some of the more expensive book tests (e.g., MOAB)?

NB; Hereby stated that it in what I write below, are no secrets as such revealed.
Even if you owned this material, you hardly would find any secrets. Some details are mentioned though. I find no point in not warning innocent people about this lecture notes. Quote:

I have listened to all the hoorays and applauds for Marc Paul, and because of the above mentioned strong recommendation, I bought the lecture notes. (thanks G_d I didn't buy the DVD!!) Asking 20 - twenty- £ sterling for this is nothing but daylight robbery. First, the Book Test How in the wide world is it possible to give a recommendation like the above, mentioning that this could be sold for £100?????? This test is nothing but one fragment of one of Richard Busch's non gaffed booktests in Peek Performances. (actually the first peek in the first booktest)Exactely one and a half pages all together, a few lines on the method. Hey, I'm talking about one single ordinary riffle peak here!! Marc Paul can in no way claim ownership to this. I honestly would not believe such to be possible!! So, The lection notes. If you read the entire add at Marc's website, you are lead to believe that you are introduced to original one of a kind, out of this world concept with original ideas. I mentioned the booktest. The "So You Can Read Minds...Prove It!" sounds cool, eh? Listen: "This is a real money making effect. Imagine this. A potential booker phones up and asks you exactly what mentalism is. You answer their question by doing some direct mind reading over the phone revealing their own star sign even though you have never met them!!!" What it is??? An absolutely ordinary progressive anagram with signs!!! Just the anagram. No philosophy. No nothing. I can recommend Doug Dyment's first class book, Sign Language if you should be interested....but not THIS!! No way!! How about "The Ideal Tossed Deck" Marc Paul spends one full page to tell what a tossed out deck routine is, concluding with: "The method is simple. Use a "MASTER MIND DECK" also marketed as the "MONTECRISTO DECK". I can't tell how it works, as it is a marketed effect. However, as far as I know it has never been used as a tossed out deck. I will give you a clue, and this will make it clear to owners of the pack. When the rubber band is put on the pack, it is xxxx xxxx xx xxx xxx. You can get a MASTER MIND DECK from Peter Nardi at Alakazam. Tell him that I send you." HOORAY!! The rest is to me more a less a boil together of other peoples work.(not all refered to) For many of routines, nothing is revealed, except for a few words on Marc Paul's presentation. You have to buy the effects, books etc.from others Others of the routines aren't close to anything clever, at least one is based on conspiration with spectactors on stage. The in the add mentioned AAA (Anytime, Any Place,Anywhere) mind reading routine reveals absolutely nothing, but are some word on Marc's thoughts on how he reccommend to logical build an act together based on 4 marketed books/effects of Lorrayne, Berglas, Becker and Bobo. + what Marc calls "An instant Centre Tear" I always try to communicate in a proper language, but this time I'm tempted on the oposite. I don't know if the entire DVD is about the same as above mentioned, but at least some of the mentioned so called effects mentioned in the add for the DvD is also included in the lecture notes. Maybe this is valueable materiale in GB, but I would believe no where else. Read the add. You'll see that you are lead to believe that this is original extraordinary creations and complete routines by Marc Paul. Well, think again! I'd rather recommend "Mickey Mouse Magic Club" Sven ."....reminding myself of not to listening to just anyone anymore..." I know for my self that if I ever should stumble over any of Ian Rowland's reccomendations again, I will make sure to stay as far away as possible from what he recommends. I'd rather trust just any "Honest Joe" used car salesman.
