Nathan (and other pre-release order participants),
You should now have the PDF of the "Ode to Ekman" routine in your inboxes. This is the "next to last" version of the eBook, but I wanted you all to have the routine instructions and eBook now. The "helps" files (photos and other materials) will be included with the "official" release, which will be emailed to each of you when ready. My designer is working diligently on the "final" revisions (which I hope to be completed this week). You now have the instructions, routine and nuances (along with some alternative presentations and methods). I sincerely hope you all enjoy it. I look forward to having everything complete and officially releasing my routine, "Ode to Ekman". I hope each of you have fun! Take care, Sean Another note: the official release price will be $45.00 and will be available from my website (please disregard the errant price listed at the site), the link will be placed on the site when it is officially released. Thank you! http://www.watersmindworks.com |

Just received this, have only cracked the cover, but it seems very nicely presented, and the effect is right up my alley. I'll report further tomorrow, after a sleepless night digesting this manuscript.

Just got done reading this cover to cover, and loved it.
I love the way Sean thinks with his work. This is an excellent piece of that is NOT to be passed up. A great, and seamless use of principles used to create a fun to perform piece of mentalism. Another great expample of "Simple is best" approach with a dash of brilliance. Made my night... Best Regards, Paul h. |

This, like Sean's previous work, 'Ponderings', is excellent.
It is a beautiful full presentation performance piece for stage or parlour. Sean has really written up everything you could think of, answered every question I could ask, and everytime I thought I could improve on it in some way I found out that I was quite wrong! The methodology is exactly what is needed, it is very clean, and the effect really is something special. This is one of those pieces that we can all learn something from, be it a brilliant routine to add to our show, or (and most importantly) how to present a piece artfully. It is clear that a tremendous amount of hard work has gone into this, and it really does deserve attention. Top class work from Sean Waters - again. Thank you for releasing this! |

I have a lot to say about "Ode to Ekman" and will be reviewing this in detail when I have more time. Put short, Waters was not kidding when he states this is a SEAMLESS psychological illusion. This really is one of the best combinations and application of thoughts, concepts, structure and effects that I have seen in quite some time.
Sean, you should be extremely proud of this offering. It's rare to find work of such amazing quality and "Ode" is an absolute winner and is absolutely going straight into my act! There is no doubt about it - after reading through it once I was in love with the routine. After reading it twice I was already collecting the proper materials to make my own set and variation, I couldn't wait another minute. If anyone is on the fence regarding this purchase I can only say it is well worth the money spent and the thinking behind the routine alone and how Sean has structured the effect is worth many, MANY times what you will pay for the routine. Of course USING this piece of work once will pay for itself many times over. This will be the highlight of many working acts, guaranteed! There is also room for customization and I for one will be utilizing the "Rayid" model of eye structures and readings for my own presentation. It took me awhile to get around to reading and properly contemplating this piece - I'm kicking myself for not having made it a top priority as far as my own learning and research is concerned. Rarely do I see such perfect pieces. I've got tons more to say about this seamless routine and effect. It gets my highest marks and praise and while I knew it would be wonderful (based on "Ponderings" and the content therein) I had absolutely no clue what I was in for or how d**n good it was going to be. I'm terribly impressed. Mark Sean Waters down for another dynamite offering. In my experience and for my performance style, this is as good as it gets, absolutely wonderful! Sincerely, Jerome Finley

Hi Sean
Ponderings was great. Is your offer still available as it not yet up on your site? thanks Andy |

Waters Inner circle 2508 Posts |
Thanks everyone for the kind comments! I am humbled by your enthusiasm and support for this project. It is appreciated. I am glad you have enjoyed it.
I know this will not suit everyone's performing style, but I think the routine is so flexible that most any mental performer can adapt the presentational premise and methods to suit their stylistic preferences. If anyone is interested, please paypal $45 to: sean@watersmagic.com I will respond as soon as I can with a return email with the file. Thanks everyone, Sean |

Wow. This is beautifully written and extremely well placed.
What a beautiful piece. Sean already got his Zentalism badge for Ponderings, but he gets another one for Ode to Eckman. "You might as well retire." Those that have it know what I mean. Sean is a rare breed. The mentalist community is VERY lucky to have such a thoughtful creator on board. I can't stop thinking about OTE. A gorgeous routine and a very positive contribution. Bravo, Sean! DT3 |

I stayed up 'till way past bed time (nearly 'get up time') reading this.
I meant to just read a little bit and pop off to the land of nod but couldn't stop reading. It really is seamless. Very clever and intelligent combination of ideas. I especially like the use of, shall we say 'genuine cues' and the totally safe 'environment' in which they are used. Using them in them as a 'subtitle' I think is the way forward with this kind of thing. I use something similar (same principal, applied differently) in my own work using it as part of a prop-less L&D test (sort of!). Oddly, this is one of the reasons I love Sean's work, both Ode and Ponderings, we share an interest in using 'real' techniques but using them so that if they fail, no one ever need know! I also like that you give us the reasoning and thought process behind each part of the effect. I think it helps the reader not just know how to do the effect but understand it. Another job well done Sean.

After reading "Ponderings," I was eager to be among the first to buy this during its pre-publication sale. Then I stooped to offering to proofread it for Sean, just so I could get an early look at it. I wasn't disappointed – and neither will you be. This is a wonderful, fully fleshed-out routine just as Sean says.
I threw away an act I had been working on for several months to include this in my repertoire. I've seen so many people on this forum wondering about and scrambling for Derren Brown's secrets, especially the secret to Reminiscence. I promise you "Ode to Ekman," is easier, more bullet-proof and just as astonishing as DB's great effect. But just see for yourself; it has a money-back guarantee, you can't lose. |

Sean,
Just wanted to tell you that OTE is another winner in my book. Although I'm not a fan of pre-show work, this is so good because of layering, I just may add it to my show. But the real reason is because I always am thinking about doing a psychometry effect 'cuz I think it's very entertaining for the specs. But the last revelation is worthless. OTE solves it in a HUGE & entertaining way. Keep up the good work! Mark Piazza |
