The fact that the block is lucite and almost see through with no electronics seems really good to me.
No matter how many times you say the wrong thing, it will NEVER be right.

anything could be mentalism if you play it right. IMHO of course.

My objective with this particular effect is to use it for 9 - 18 year olds in an upcoming convention in June and then in August. Seems easy to carry.

I would still use it for adults and stage however.

I thought the old timer advice was to never perform mentalism for children as they are incapable of understanding it?

Um, the only ones who believe that are the ones who’ve never done it. The rest of us know that is completely false...

I am an old timer. I don't listen to what others may say. I just do.

So you kinda sorta contradicted yourself. A little bit. In a weird sorta way.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Isn't this effect however kind of like the 5 stones one black the routine that everyone raves about.

So Bob C. Lee E. Docc H. and many others are all wrong about performing mentalism for children? Wow! I had no idea.

Thanks for making my point for me, Senor. Continue believing what you’ve read from the “old timers.” Smile As I said, those of us who do mentalism for children know differently.

Not trying to be rude at all, but there are threads you can read to hear alternate opinions if you’d like, and there are books available as well. But you seem comfortable with your beliefs, and there’s nothing wrong with that...

Senor,

Not to disparage the "old timers" I knew Bob. He had a ton of great ideas and advice. No doubt. I just watched his closeup killers download. They aren't wrong. Opinions are never wrong, they are opinions.

But even Bob didn't 100% listen to the "old timers" Bob used playing cards in Mentalism. Don't some of the "old timers", heck, even some of the "new timers" say you can't use playing cards in mentalism? Playing cards scream MAGIC.

I do what works for me. YOU need to do what works for YOU. Not only based on what others say you shouldn't do.

The wright brothers were told humans can't fly. Huh?

The old story about the Bumble bee... Bumble bees don't care that the experts claim that it's impossible for Bumble bees to fly. Well good thing Bumble bees don't know that.

I think the term "mental-magic" strikes fear into people's hearts....much like "veganism"....

everyone is scared of it, a few are proud of it, but for others, they roll their eyes at the term and judge...

embrace your mental-magic...its ok!

Well it took a few days to get to me, only a few.

Today I have it. I don't know what to say but it's fantastic and well worth the money.

Watch the lower most full performance vid on Steven's site. This is exactly how you will perform it nothing is left out.

Easy, no thinking and superb prop.

I'm glad I own it.
