Can anyone speak to retention? This is a bit of a weird question, I know:
Is this a knack thing that once you get it you have it? Or is it something people have found you can stop being proficient at if you don't keep using it? Aka - is it like riding a bike? Or is it "use it or lose it?" Thanks! (Ps I know people may not be able to answer this but personal experience is helpful. It's just I'm going to head off to college soon and one of the pieces of advice I keep getting is hold off on magic first semester of college) |

I should mention I already bought the book, and I'm waiting to receive it.

I think that this is one of the most interesting techniques in mentalism... the book is awesome...
Ben did an excellent job on it... but I hate the fact that it is now available for everybody! The value of this technique is also more than 40$! I really don't know what to say now... I really hope that you, ben, will have success with it! But I think it is too good for an ellusionist product (: |

Lots of scripting gems in there from Peter.
Making playing cards emotionally relevant by saying 'I don't want to reveal anything too personal, so we'll use a playing card' was brilliant. lol Gonna go back through video with a note pad ASAP. |

I am dissapointed that Ellusionist is going to be selling this. A bunch of kids are going to be showing how it is done in youtube.

I have several different variations other than them in print (which I have discussed with Ben) Having used these techniques for years and having LOTS of unpublished material on this stuff (which several people including Ben have received). Who knows there might be a mix of minds in the future for a future collaboration! Pete was referring to this. Didn't mean the to take anything away from Ben. One of the best purchases I made this year. |

Can't wait to receive mine! I really love these bold little methods! This reminds me of Springboard by Michael Murray and White Room by Ran Pink.
Imagine incorporating either one with COG :O So they are merely thinking of a card, and basically changing their mind, so the COG method is 10000000 % invisible now! |

The good news: Cog is available in the USA from Ellusionist.
The bad news: Purchasers of the Ellusionist edition will *not* be admitted to the closed Facebook group. |

Received mine a few days back from Ben.
The book is tiny in size, trust me, you will be shocked, it's like a long pocket edition. About 50 pages. Writing is very good, clear and concise, no BS. A few mistakes in there, but nothing major and you probably won't even notice them. Method is simple and straightforward, but it's one of those things that you get good at after failure. You WILL fail. First few pages are scary as he explains another method that is not as good, and I initially thought that was it. The video Pete did is not exactly how it is explained in COG, it's a little bolder (suitwise and not being able to change the prediction). I give this a solid 8.9/10, just because it's not for everyone, and I'm annoyed that E re-released this. |

Having recently purchased this, I encourage everyone to PERFORM this on real people. The only way to get good at this is through practice...there is an inherent failure rate embedded into this, but you will get better with time.
Regards, Mike |
