Wow! What a breath of fresh air to stumble upon such a gem!
I take my hat off to Ran for this one. I love The Zen System on so many levels. Firstly, I can appreciate the method as a fantastic piece of thinking, and really have to congratulate Ran on piecing this all together into one coherent process. Secondly, this allows me to focus on improving my cold-reading skills, under the guise of giving a Zodiac reading. Thirdly, the effect itself is pure perfection. It garners interest by showing the spectator something commonplace (astrological readings) yet mysterious (the fact that they do not know how astrological readings are "generated"). It builds this interest by offering to give them a PERSONAL reading. It has a beautiful denouement when you hit them with the exact day and month of their birth. I am a big fan of "Day at any date" (I utilise Paul Brook's method from Chrysalis of a Polymath) and plan on incorporating this to some extent when using The Zen System. Well done Ran! You really deserve massive credit for this wonderful piece! Warm Regards, Steve

I'm wondering, Ran, is it possible to buy replacement cards.
Maybe I'm a bit paranoid, but I like to have 2 of each of the best effects. I'm very prone to leaving stuff in my pockets which ends up in the washing machine. Don't laugh it can be quite expensive! Luckily the last thing I did this with was Jon Allen's Flexion, and it came to no harm. Could have been my Promystic "thingy" Steve |

Also I think it may be an idea, for the folks who do sit down readings etc. to make up a postcard sized set.

I actually combine Christian Chelmans ZODIAC from Capricornian Tales to Ran Pinks ZEN system for an absolute hit, and fabulous results!
Yesterday I killed with it 2 times. Spectators are shocked that I could know so much about them, especially their bdays. Alex

I'd like to congratulate Ran for releaseing this. I was stunned at the concept and the ingenuity behind the ZEN System. This simple system allows you to give a complete stranger a reading and then finish by telling them their star-sign and birthday. That is mind-blowing!! All the memory work has been removed, all the complexities of the system have been simplified into one single tool that is a dream to use. This has to be the best and easiest star-sign divination system out there. Well done to everyone involved.

Got to see Ran perform Zen in several different situations while I was in LA. Conversational magic at it's finest and best of all it does not seem like your doing magic. Just a casual reading with a killer ending! Nice thinking Ran and great to get a few hang out days in!

The ZEN system is a truly fantastic piece. I would urge anyone that has purchased this to join the ZEN forum within Ran's website. There are many tips and ideas to be found.

This is a wonderful piece of utility. I was fortunate to see Ran perform this at the Magic Castle and it was great. I have taken my time to really work through this, but I can say I when I went through it I was so excited about it I spoke with Ran about certain presentational aspects of the system.

Thanks for posting Bro! That was a very fun night!!!
Also Kinesis deserves a big thank you for pointing something out to me about the system. I keep adding pointers on the Zen forum and it turns out it's the perfect place for me to make litte addendums to the instructions. So thank you Derek. I'll be adding a Dutch version PDF of the ZEN cards in the next few days thanks to some helpful new friends. You know who you are... Ran

Just received this and fully agree with all of the praise it has received. It has been put together with great skill and effort yet requires minimal skill on the part of the mentalist. A few basic reading skills and an ability to converse would help. A tremendous tool. If you don't own it, order it now. You won't be sorry.
