Here is the "sales" pitch

I do have this, and it is one of the best mentalism products that I've purchased. It's well thought out, complete, and a total fooler. The quality of the props far exceeded my expectations, and the directions were clear and detailed. In fact, those not used to performing mentalism will find several very good tips on the general practice of mentalism.
I also have cruise control and double vision... all of which are great products. As detailed and complex as the structure of the routine is, I was quite surprised how easy it was to learn and memorize (yes, you'll need to remember a few things). If you have the cash for this, and are just checking to make sure the reviews are good before you take the plunge... do it, you won't be dissapointed. Mike I'm not sure if the ad mentions... but you'll only get good use out of this on stage, and not close up really. |

Thanks Mike. I know how this effect is done but wanted to know how it goes over in real life. I appreciate your input.
Not that I was considering close up but now that you mention it, what would or could be the drawback? Kent |

Hie , it is stated in the sales pitch that this uses US phone technology......
I'm living in Malaysia and am not familiar with the mobile telephone service in USA . Can someone please tell me the requirements needed to perform this ? Many Thanks, David

Because of the way it is setup, your spectator would have to call a US phone number and that could be costly.

Well I have been working on this and it is a great routine. Notice I did not say effect. Performed properly his would be at least a 10 minute probably more routine. It is well thought out and the instructions are very elaborate. There in lies one problem that I see. Both the DVD and the written instructions are quite elaborate. This is not necessarily a bad thing but I have found that they tend to skip a bit when you are following the DVD or instructions. This would work well if there was just one added feature on the DVD that is missing. I think the DVD needs to show an actual performance either in public or a simulated one in the studio. This would tie all the important pieces of the routine together for you to see. Since the instructions as well as the DVD move around the different phases of the routine it is very hard to follow. Maybe it is just me. This in no way is knocking the overall routine or effect that is sure to give the audience a WOW factor; it is just a suggestion. I think it would be a great effect for the working performer. Notice I said working. That is because the price is a little steep for the hobiest. I most definitely can see that due to all the extras with this item why the price is high. There most definitely was a lot of work put into this routine and is worth the price. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the highest I personally would give this an 8. What do others who have this feel?
