Just wanted to let everyone know about a new Luke Jermay download. You can only find it if you search his name. So, I figured I would provide a link to anyone interested.

That was one of the more better penguin magic effects I've seen.

I quite enjoyed it actually. The various stages are appealing to me, and I'm a big fan of Jermay's stuff in general. I'll wait for reviews though, like most products.

I enjoyed it as well. The method is very simple (assuming I know how it works)...but the subtleties that he's using are extremely good and worth the price of the download in my opinion.

I suggest those interested in a pseudo-memory demonstration using cards to look into "More Memory Man" from Joel Givens's book "Sessions". It is my firm belief that it is a much more practical, well structured, convincing, and strong routine.

This effect is good. It it one of the three effects that was printed in "The Bigger Three" manuscript. I'ts actually the only one of the three effects in that manuscript that I actually liked enough to perform. I believe it was designed for stage, but it's boring to perform on stage. At least when I do it. However, It does play very well in a small group setting, or even close up.
This is a steal. Because, I basically paid $250 for this effect. And now the value of my manuscript has dropped immensely. I kind of wish I saved my money to purchase the downlaod. A trend that I see happen a lot, is that great effects published in private manuscripts, end up being massivly published a couple years later. :-\ But anyway.. great effect, great price, easy to do. But.. not easy to perform and be entertainig. Definatly needs a lot of showmanship.

Luke did this for a room full of magicians at the Magic Apple when he lectured. Most were completely fooled. It does play very well.

Picked up this a day or two ago myself, loved the presentation. You've probably guessed the method, but it was worth the download (450mb) and the price. All the small detail is covered, I predict many will still feel its too bold or too risky, but it is SUCH a nice effect, especially when presented as well as Luke did.

Can this be done with a borrowed deck?
How many Magicians does it take to advertise a trick? Three.. One to steal the trick. One to steal HIS trick. And one to write a good review.

I think the effect looks good, but that presentation was terrible. Boring, and absolutely now build up or anything in each reveal. It was just-turn over the card, 'was this it?' ok, next stage.

This effect truly is more than what it seems. Here is a vid clip of Derren Brown performing the same effect. Like I said in a previous post- This effct really needs a lot of showmanship to make it entertaining. It's easy to pull off, but difficult to pull off well.

I thought Luke had a great presentation. It was nice to see a presentation that is not completely about psychology or psychic phenomena. The memorization ploy is something that people should do more often

I bit the bullet and am not dissapointed to be honest. I look forward to performing this.

Well, I don't think this is memoria. I mean, it's the same type of tricks, but I'd say it's a mix between him remote viewing (by jermay) and memoria.
Having second thoughts, has anyone bought it and got there money's worth? |

Looking at Derren Browns performance and Luke's performance the two effects are VERY VERY similar. Some one who purchased this, can derrens approach to this effect be done the same way as lukes? for example, can I be turned completely around when the card is pulled from the deck then replaced? PM me if necessary.
