Sounds fantastic. Another member asked but didn't recieve an answer about how long the process was to get to the reveal. How many layers of questions to the reveal?

@takeachance
most people will perform the effect with a 3 section system (i say section instead of question because you are not asking the spectator anything, you are telling them what they are thinking). It can be performed with as little as 2 sections and up to 4 for those who have just started learning the methods. it all depends on the skill of the performer, and their ability to use the principles effectively. |

Thanks guys, sounds very tight indeed. There has to be a process and this seems to be constructed along the very credible route. Looking forward to studying this.

Package arrived this morning. On a design front, I love the fact the book is small and easy to pocket. I'm going shopping later so will read this over coffee.
I'll feedback my thoughts later. I'd also like to point out Ben shipped this fast, and I received a dispatch updated once posted. Thanks for a good customer experience. Chris |

The whole concept surrounding Cog I had read about maybe 12 years ago in an NLP book. At the time I remember thinking it had some merit, but I never explored it. Ben has done so and to great effect. He has taken this basic principle and like all good mentalism, combined it with scripting to gel it together and make it work. As others (Ben included) have attested, it will take work (like mastering a card sleight Ben states in the booklet).
So does it deliver. Well I've yet to get further that just reading the concept. But if it does, and from what I've read, I've no reason to doubt it will. Then you will have something as close to actually reading someone's mind with zero props, nothing written down or selected etc, as possible. I've already given some thought on how I can best practice this and I've come up with a statement I will use to prime my spectator at the start of the procedure. Also it's true, Cog is not limited to resolving a card someone is imagining. It could be used for so much more. In fact Ben briefs on how to use the method to reveal an emotion followed up my a memory they're imagining. This is one principle I'm gonna work hard at. Because it really could be the perfect anytime, propless mind reading experience so many on here seem to be looking for. I've never met a Ben, I did pay for Cog, and I wish him a great deal of success. This one folks is golden. Chris |

The more I perform this the better it gets - totally awesome stuff, probably the best thing I've seen in 2013

Received and read straight away!
Nice thinking. The value part seems a bit transparent... need to try it a few times to convince myself! Quote:

Perform it between effects. So each bit of the process is done inbetween something else, that way it is never noticed as there is a time delay.
Then finish with the kicker x |

You tell the participant to imagine if it is a red or black card, a club, heart, spade or diamond, a picture or a number and then imagine the value in their mind. Without asking them to answer anything out loud or write anything down/ choose a card out of the deck. you look at the participant and then reveal the exact card (suit and value). There is no restricting questions, they genuinely have a free choice of any card and there are no psi forces. This is genuinely what it says it is. That is the effect you will learn. I have used this principle for more than five years (Not with playing cards) and it works solidly. I use this to divine all sorts of things. Several people who have purchased this have seen what I use it for (I am not going to tip what I use it for) but the possibilities are not just for playing cards. There is a limited number of copies and I would not hesitate to get my hands on a copy (I have used this principle in the real world and it kills). I am not hyping this, I don't know and have never met Ben. I could think of many different ways to do this (other than what the book states)and if Ben contacts me I might be tempted to record a video of me performing a variation of this (not exactly as described in the book but a variation of). Who knows! Pete x |

My beautiful little "cog" booklet arrived and I have to say this is simply clever.
yes, you do have to put some work into it but it is not that much once you know how to apply the "principle ". practice makes perfect and until then one can simply employ the outs the book provides. now the principle behind this is really something and got me thinking applying it to all sort of routines. buy it for that devious principle alone. well done Ben! |

Cog is a nice book that does a very good job of summarizing how to actually implement subtle techniques. It is much more than just theory or wild ideas. It represents actual practice.
A sales video could be honestly not be made, as Cog is more of a valuable tool than an effect to be duplicated. I like that. |

Couldn't resist. Ordered it on a whim.
