Greetings, Café members.
Some of you might know my name, though I suspect most of you don't. For many years, my close friend Patrick Redford has been trying to convince me to release some of the effects from my personal repertoire to the mentalism community. He's finally coerced me to video record one of my card mentalism effects, and I thought I'd post it here to see if there would be any interest in me putting this out for sale. If there is sufficient interest, we'll record a follow up to this performance footage which will include the explanation of the effect, as well as some bonus material in the form of some theory topics, commentary, and alternate handlings and presentational angles for the effect. If the reaction to this video is positive, you can expect more releases from me in the near future. Here's the link to the performance: https://www.dropbox.com/s/aj2wu3vv7heulu......raph.mp4 Submitted for your consideration. -Ben Blau

Whether or not you decide to release it, it's a great demonstration! I love the concept, and the presentation was very entertaining. It also fooled the hell out of me! If I were you, I'd keep that under your hat. But, I'm not - so pease sell it so I can use it! =)
Fantastic! |

I *think* I know what's going on, and it's very clever. If I'm wrong, thanks for leading my mind in an interesting direction.
A nice lesson too in congruence and giving directions clearly.

I enjoyed it, have no idea, if you put it out I would buy it.
By failing to prepare, we are preparing to fail.

I liked it a lot too ...by George!!!
Seriously though, I enjoyed the premise and it would be a very cool release. I am wondering if the effect has 100% accuracy or is it similar to Ben & Steve's release where accuracy is about 85-90% but still incredibly fair an amazing? Great stuff - very fair.

This is a wonderful effect. I would buy this in a heartbeat. That's saying a lot, considering I'm not big into cards these days. All of the elements just seem so fair, and it leaves a lot of room for presentation.
As landmark said, great job with spectator management. I can't wait to see more ! |

This is such a beautiful routine. Add me to the list Ben. The only problem with showing us such a video is that you leave us wanting to see more of your work. Maybe it is about time to emerge from the 'underground'
I hope to hear soon about your releases. |
