"I have just given this a read, and have got to say that I was very pleasantly surprised. What you will find in here are very creative ideas that will shed a new light on some classical ideas, using simple ideas to give you the ability to take your effects to the next level. I can really imagine these effect playing out great. Nice work. " Luke Turner Hello everyone! Welcome to my first release! My name is Kassim Beydoun, and I am so glad to share with you my ideas and thoughts on Mentalism. In "I Miss Charlotte" I share with you 5 routines, ideas, some new principles and techniques to divine your spectators thoughts with no props. Some of these will use a pen and paper but your spectator never writes anything down! What makes this release different to the rest? Well, it’s a very quick read, in this PDF you will learn new ways on how to know what letter someone is thinking of with no props what so ever! You will learn how to divine thought of words with basically no process at all! And yes! Most of these principles and routines are 100% sure fire! Effects Mind Palace: The spectator thinks of a word, and in literally 20 sec, you know what the word is! Very deceptive, no dual reality or peeking. Nothing written down by the spectator. Multiple variations. 100% sure fire. This one is designed to work in English but can be easily adapted to other languages. Letter Code:The spectator thinks of a word! Then thinks of a random pin code based on their word. Nothing is written down by the spectator. The performer can reveal both pieces of information. No dual reality, no one ahead! You can do this entirely verbally if you want, but that would mean you would have to memorise a few things. But definitely possible. Post-Pressions: A way to turn a post it note into an impression device. No carbon paper. Gimmick is very cheap and accessible in lots of places. Lett-er: A way to restrict letters in the alphabet from 26 letters to 10 without them knowing. Then you can be down to 2 letters. Point: A way to have someone think of any letter in the alphabet, and your able to be down to 2 or sometimes 3 possibilities.

For lett-er can you FORCE one of 2 letters? Or force one of 10 and then know which one of the ten they are thinking of .
Thanks Sleepy |

As a mentalist you must always ask yourself what if! And throughout your life you should seek to ask and answer this question over and over again, only then will your wildest dreams become a reality!

Grabbed it after seeing a particular review on the sales page. It kind of tips part of one of the methods. I've had a *very* brief look at it and am excited about a couple of ideas.
So far: I wish it was fleshed out a little more as I had some questions about the way things could go for one piece that weren't addressed. Another piece left me wanting a little more clarity/instruction as well. In another moment, I tried to be somewhat difficult and prove something wrong on myself, and I was successful, showing it's not 100% 3 times in a row which made me immediately disappointed. BUT, then I tried it on my wife and was very pleasantly surprised all 3 times it worked perfectly. I had to admit it put a smile on my face. Clever. And in the way it did I suspect it may be more the norm (I hope, I will keep testing). So for this I'm excited as there are two concepts I can't wait to start trying more. (Naturally, I'm not my audience, so the wife test was promising and had me wanting to get going on more people.) And the other thing I really liked has great promise too. It totally has a "why didn't I think of that" vibe and I'd be really surprised if other brilliant minds aren't already doing this. The price is fair, especially if it pans out as well as the hype. The product isn't fleshed out as much as I'd like to see and definitely feels a little bit hastily thrown together, but product creation-wise more than effect-wise (although that remains to be seen still). I don't hate it, and I might really love it. |

Are these ideas that could potentially be used to enhance non-propless routines?

I decided to buy this and agree with Nathan. There are some clever thoughts and principles but the release could have been so much better. The effects could certainly be fleshed out and elaborated upon and some careful editing too would have helped.
I feel this is a work in progress with more work to be done. Neil |

Final anlysis: too fast, too soon
Seems to be a lot of writing in the Café lately about a myriad of mentalism stuff on the market. Looks like this may be part of the new riders of the mentalism sage. |

What about non English speakers and is that modular ( do you see it feting with other propless methods ) ?

In my opinion the best effect in the book, and with tweaking it definitely has potential, is only for the English language. As such, it would be difficult to work in a different language.

I'm reading through this now. CHARLOTTE’S MIND is not 100%. This effect needed some more work before publishing. A quick Google search brings up tons of exceptions and I could think of several ways that it wouldn't work. It's a clever idea, but it's clear that this hasn't been worked through, or if it has the author is leaving out quite a lot of "real work".
