Review: The Return of the White Dwarf by Bob Cassidy from http://www.amirasideas.com

Bob is one of our living heroes in this art.
His contributions in effects and theory are huge and truly elevates Mentalism in other levels.
Yesterday Bob and Jheff from MarketPlace of the Mind released this eBook containing a new version of the "2 envelope test" AKA White Dwarf plus extra ideas for the classic "Name/Place"

What´s the White Dwarf ? A great tool to get information secretly with proper psychology behind.

My opinion:



24 page eBook, plain text without photos. No fancy edition but excellent information
(at the end the most important).

The eBook is divided in 2 sections.
In the first part Bob explains the original "White Dwarf" (which is basically a simple and easy way to get a full billet p**k with nested envelopes), the " Eye of the White Dwarf" ( another version of this idea) and his new version called "The return of The White Dwarf".
Bob explains all the subtle details of this new handling that allows you to give all the props at the end to your participants.

If you know Bob´s work, you know that the Logical Disconnect is a very important factor in each effect, and this is not exception.


Now, about the White Dwarf, I honestly prefer the classic approach that appears in Artful Mentalism but I appreciate the good points of the new version.
You need to work a little more in this version, but you will rewarded knowing that in the end you can give away everything.
The second part is excellent as well as the first one. Bob gives you extra ideas for the Name/Place routine that you can add if you perform this piece , or incorporate that tools to similar effects.



Rate: 9/10

An excellent reading, new ideas that even if you don't use in the future, will give you proper understanding in how mentalism should be construct and perform.

Thanks Pablo for this review !

Good review amira!, out of curiousity is the new version less " envelope specific"?, hard to describe without exposing anything,
Ive always struggled to get the necessary items with the required properties in the uk,
