Just had a quick look through this and I don't know what to write.
Numbers was an incredible piece of work on its own but put in this context it is even more impressive. It shows what a great effect it is by the fact that so many other fantastic pieces can be written around it. I will post the full review that this deserves when I've had a chance to really digest some of this (and try a few out). I already thought Numbers was something that anyone and everyone could and SHOULD use, this release makes that a fact! Great work Rus and great work all those who contributed!

Numbers Re Run is a fine collection of 10 additional routines, effects and ideas all based off of the original Numbers release. This release also includes the original Numbers so those that do not have it will find it here as well making this a real value for the cost. I will not describe all ten effects as that was done well already above in the original post by brehaut. I will simply state that this will appeal to the mentalist, psychic entertainer, the card men out there as well as close up and stage performers. There is something here that all will get good mileage out of. I like the fact that in addition to playing cards, one idea uses tarot cards, one a blank face deck and another favorite for me used picture cards, random objects in place of playing cards. The very first effect in this release is called Concealed and it is sweet. It was refreshing to see this first, a fine way to start this project off. Great thinking and one you will use. Ray Noble has a fantastic idea in these pages as well using the suits as indicators. I can't say more without tipping it but it plays great. It uses a complete normal deck, can even be borrowed. Once the spectator names their number, you instantly know the card at that position. This will now become the way I mostly perform this. Even better, combine this idea with the very first effect Concealed and you have an entertainer and jaw dropper. Another routine by Kevin James uses a lottery ticket which is so topical across the states and will play well and fit into a lot of performance situations. These are just a few of the immediate stand outs for me but the other ideas and presentations here are all good too by Rus plus a few other performers. Recommended |

You could almost stand and perform the 10 effects in a row and you would have a happy audience.
This isn't just 10 random ideas to fill out a book, it is 10 very different full pieces. Already slapping my face in "Why didn't I think of that?!" moments, really great stuff. I haven't been as excited about a set of variations for a very long time.

This is a wonderful ebook and I am glad to have it in my collection.
A lot has been said about the effects and the ebook so far so I will try to be original in what I say. First things first - Does exactly as it says, no funny business. I thought Numbers could have been used by almost anyone and would work in almost all settings, this book blows that apart! ANYONE can use this ANYWHERE after reading this! What is it? An original effect, followed by a set of deviations and alterations to give what I feel is best described as a set of new effects (based on the same principle). The audience would be hard pushed at times to realise that these effects are based on the same idea if you were to do a few in a set (not saying that you should). What do you get? All of these are entirely workable and you get something you can easily add into your working set and something that will prove to be very impressive (yet simple). A few of my picks - (not going into workings of the effects) Gamble - Great twist taking Numbers slightly out of its original context. Will be using this in some form, lovely stuff! Nil - Another one from Rus, COMPLETELY blows people away, makes no sense in plebs heads. Objection - Paul Miller, I really like this way of thinking, and will be using some form of variation of this effect. Destiny - Stuart Phillips, another nice idea here. Real value for money and will be used for a very long time to come, Great!

Hi
Heres is a psychological presentation of numbers that I shot on my iPhone. This is a variation that I have not released. This is the closest I think I will ever get to the Grail myth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpLeftw6S......a_player If I get enough interest on this I will write it up Apologies for the poor sound quality. All the best R |

I have just finished reading this manuscript and must say I am very impressed with the contents. I feel that any routine in this manuscript is commercial and well worth doing or adding to your arsenal. I think Rus has an elegant solution to the ACAAN plot. I have used similar ideas in my INSIGHT release, but Rus has taken this to a new level and it is worthy of your consideration.
Although all the routines are excellent, I must say my favorite is Kevin James' Lottery. This is a very commercial and topical routine and one that I will be adding to my routine. As most of you know, I seldom endorse any product, but this one I give my highest recommendations. Devin Knight |

A big thumbs up from me as well.
It's hard to choose which effect I like best. Any one of these could have been a headline act in this book I'll start to work a few of them and see what fits me best. Well done again Rus Steve |

My Review from http://www.amirasideas.com
Today I received a copy of this eBook for review. Rus Andrews is a creative performer that works with J. Prager and launch new ideas in their page. Now I will give you my review for Number RE-RUN. Is basically a supplement eBook for his original work that plays with ACAAN´s type of effects. Price: $32.99 in http://mentalshocks.com/portfolio/number-re-run Original description: http://mentalshocks.com/portfolio/number-re-run My opinion: 14 pages eBook,no photos . I was very surprise when I saw the eBook. J.Prager really knows about graphics and design as you can see in his page , but the eBook is missing from all that. No bookmarks, no picture (even when inside of the eBook says that)and a few formatting problems. Nonetheless inside of the eBook you will find new ideas with a few mix of concepts with a deck of cards that will create kind of ACAAN´s effects. I have to be honest and say that Im not a fan of ACAAN`s. I play with the idea to create the famous "holy grail" but I have other things to think in terms of Mentalism and surely ACAAN isn't in my mind. If you like mental magic with cards, you will find the ideas in here interesting. I don't feel attached to any idea in particular honestly and I think that the price is a little high for the content that you get. Rus fails in a few credits with the techniques that he uses to accomplish this basic effect ,nonetheless, a nice reading. Rate: 6,5/10 If you want to add more mental magic with cards in your repertoire, this will be an interesting reading for you.

I don't like doing mental magic, but the first time that I did NUMBERS, the women got very excited about the overall routine. This is why I like doing NUMBERS
I did NUMBERS for the very fist time, off the cuff, with the HEAT set up and flew by the seat of my pants trying to make a presentation out of it. It went over very well. As far as lay people are concerned, it doesn’t matter to them if it is mental magic or mentalism. It is the same in their eyes. And that is a good thing. LOL Heck, I supposed that a person that is good at mental magic using playing cards might even make a living doing so. One person that comes to mind is Mick Ayres. Ray |

Hi
Thanks for the above review, I respect your honesty and opinion. I didn't feel that the ebook needed graphics and fancy images as it didn't need it, I have only ever included pictures for visual aid in explaining a sleight or how something should look, in numbers I didn't see that this was neccessary. The price is $32.99 if you don't already own Numbers.... If you already own the original notes on numbers then you get a 50% discount when purchasing ReRun. If you don't own the original numbers, then in rerun you get the original method plus the 10 routines. Again thanks for your time and the review. All the best R |
