My review continues!
The Placement !@#$e (page 33) A method that is as "old as the hills" is used in a somewhat novel way, "...enabling the performer to predict more than one outcome and combine those outcomes into a multi-layered prediction." p. 33 Collective Dreams (pages 34 - 40) "This routine will also demonstrate how with a little thought, it is possible to use structured imagery to combine mind reading with a multi-layered prediction." p. 34 A complete script for the routine is provided. Up next, A Wallet Full of Dreams . |

My review continues!
A Wallet Full Of Dreams (pages 41 - 44) While sitting at a table as a guest at a wedding, Scott performed A Wallet Full Of Dreams. "A year later, the bride re-told the story of the routine as it had been told to her by this same lady. It went something like this. 'He put his wallet on the table and then told me to think of somebody I know and to imagine walking around her house on her birthday. After I’d imagined it in my mind he took some cards from his wallet and showed us that he’d already written on them everything I’d imagined. Not only did he describe her house in detail, like the colour of the door and the furniture in her living room, but he knew she had a little boy and on one of the cards he’d already written her name even though I’d only been thinking about her. It was bloody spooky.'”. p. 44 Note: the bride's perception / recollection is slightly different than what actually occurred. This is one of the strongest routines I've ever read using a simple P**k wallet. Use the wallet you already own, or make the DIY version Scott briefly describes. . |

Scott, if you don't ask Bill to write the intro to the next book, yer nuts!
Look for all the world like you're counting the brain cells in his cranium.

My review concludes!
Take a Break 2.0 (page 45) A quick re-cap of the core method and its various enhancements and options taught so far in the book. The Structured Portrait (pages 46 - 51) The final routine in the book: "With that in mind, the last effect in the book is a prediction routine that I came up with a few years back, one that until now I haven’t shared with anybody. In this context, it is unique because it doesn’t require a p**k and you never actually see or know the exact information the spectator is creating her images from, in fact, you can perform this from the stage while your volunteer remains seated in the audience." p. 46 Multiple methods are used to create layers of deception and what appears to be a truly impossible effect. Bonus Idea (page 52) Another ingenious twist that provides you with, "...yet another completely hands of prop-less routine that can be done just about anywhere." Final Words (pages 53 - 55) A discussion that includes some of psychic entertainment's most famous historical figures, and how in most cases they did not use sophisticated technological gadgetry or props, but rather "...created a world of psychic illusion out of almost nothing." With encouragement for the reader to do the same. Conclusion: Structured Imagery provides the mind reader with a new, specialized tool kit. Learn and master this tool kit, and you will be able to describe in detail images, colors, sounds, feelings, sounds, smells, tastes and more, which the person only imagined, never wrote down, and never spoke. Unlike other works I've read, the propless tools in Structured Imagery are sure-fire, resulting in multiple 100% hits, without guesswork or long, convoluted process. Simple, streamlined, effective and powerful. 10/10 Highly recommended. . |

I got this yesterday without having read any reviews or doing any research. All I can say is it is an absolutely incredible!! The book is easy to read and understand and is packed full of amazing routines with some going straight into my working set. It is genuinely one of the best books I have ever read and by far my best buy of 2022!
Thank you so much Scott for sharing these incredible ideas |

It's interesting that yesterday there seemed to be a sudden flurry of interest in the Structured Imagery book on my website culminating in an email request from the editors of the Magic Circles in-house magic magazine asking if I could send them a review copy. I couldn't work out why until someone sent me a link to the unbiased magic review channel where it seems he's named one effect from the book called the structured portrait as his number one best buy of 2022. Here's the link if you want to find out why. https://youtu.be/U6-E4fQI5HQ Wishing you all the best and a Happy New Year. Regards Scott |

Thanks, Stunninger for your detailed review. Unbiased Magic Reviews just dropped a new video on top 5 Mentalism effects of 2022. Structured Portrait was his #1 pick for 2022. I’m not a mentalist but I’m fascinated by the study of good mentalism; I’ll plan on picking up this book.

Have to admit that UMR brought this to my attention also. I’ve had a gift certificate from Penguin but I couldn’t decide what to use it on. This e-book from Scott made it an easy decision.
Looking forward to digging into it. My immediate impression is that it is a steal at the price. Sure, I used a gift card but like many of you, I’m pickier about what I use those on than I am with my own money. Suffice to say that I would have no problem spending more on this considering all the time and effort that must have been required by Scott to create these very workable presentations, not to mention putting them down in words in a very thorough and easily digestible fashion which is no simple task. |

Agree. I picked this up on a whim last night. Not normally my cup of tea but thus far I’m enjoying it.

Likewise - thanks to Scott for a superb e-book. The routines are excellent, however I think most value is in the fact it gives a framework to flexibly create a whole range of your own routines. There's so many possibilities.
Cheers, DC |

I'm sure Secrets would be a wise purchase but I'm mainly interested in the routine Structured Imagery and wondered if there's any benefit to buying this over Secrets? So, basically, is it an expanded version of what's in Secrets or a repeat of the same information?
