Being a scorpio myself I'd like to add, that "we" are pretty awesome in bed too!

That is BS Penguin Paid me a set amount up front for the lecture....
Then the royalty payments they paid me recently, the only time I have had a problem with penguin was waiting for payments which was resolved (which is something that happens to most artists with companies). LOL this industry is funny. Also Penguin have asked me to come back so why would they be withholding any money and or thinking that was the case? There is ONE section on the lecture I do use p*e S*ow and I OPENLY explain that I have in the explanation of the effect (it lasts about 15 - 20 mins out of the entire lecture). It is during the section I talk about being a creative consultant and television performances. Anyone who has watched it will understand the bit I am talking about. Ian Rowland, Marc Spellman and others also have a section on there's that does. The rest is very much live, you don't even get the opportunity to set anything up. Pete x |

As usual, someone makes a bulls**t statement, other people expand on it, everything goes to hell in a handbasket.
I've watched disc one of Jinxed and as with all your stuff Peter, I was thoroughly engrossed and amazed all the way through. As for 'sugary crap'...I'm afraid I'm one of the sycophants that thinks the way you present your stuff to be truly fabulous. Your Penguin lecture was a revelation to me (as I told you once on a PM I beleive) The thing I find funny about comments on presentation is that if an effect is presented in a way that opposes a persons taste...the obvious thing to do is to present it another way and make it your own. For me, it's not so much about Peters presentation...it's how he thinks about presentation in general that really inpsires me, and not just in my mentalism, but all magical endeavours. Kay...so now I'm gonna hop off the Pete Turner Train and go worship some other person. Doesn't really matter who, as I've stuck cut-outs of Petes face on all of them. Maybe we'll have a tea party. Rightso...this is all getting very Tobe Hooper...I'm off. |

Hey guys,
Saw the aforementioned comments and thought I would chime in, as the "Penguin lecture guy" and the person that Pete used in the lecture, I can say that it was NOT all preshow. I've been a fan of Pete for a long time, but there wasn't any covert preshow used...besides who CARES anyway is the thing I don't understand...If I could get those kind of reactions from preshow then hell yeah I would do it. If preshow was good enough for the greats then why shouldn't it be for us...but I guess I digress... Getting back on topic now, Jinxed is amazing and I performed a few of the techniques the other day (not direct routines as I prefer learning techniques over routines anymore) to amazing reactions. The star sign thing still makes me smile beyond belief...I kind of prefer if it doesn't hit honestly and those who own the DVD know what I mean. Helpful hint...Kentonism plus the techniques from Jinxed equal a god like status. -Jakob |

My original post about the pre show thing focused on whether that would be a valid reason to not pay Pete. However the reality is that the value in Petes lecture was not in the effects themselves but the thinking behind them. If you watched the opening effect and merely thought Pete was teaching a method for an ACAAN then you missed a hell of a lot. I got an immense amount out of Petes explanation for that effect and absolutely none of it had anything specific to do with the ACAAN plot.
This wasn't a lecture to teach effects it was all about concepts and principles and philosophy the effects were merely vehicles to demonstrate the lessons Pete was trying to get accross. Most of the effects could be done using a variety of methods. Sure Petes material contains some very strong effects and this particular set is no different. I will definitely use several effects from this set but I will take far more value from this set than the effects themselves. If you buy this set and just get some new effects you will get your money's worth, there are some fantastic effects on these dvd's. But if you listen to the explanations with an open and creative mind you will get an incredible set of tools and principles that can be applied to far more effects than those taught on the DVD.

I may be a little late to the party but I thought I would just chime in.
I bought Petes penguin lecture last year having never heard of him before. It was in the next hour or so that my performance changed forever. I now perform mentalism exclusively only because of Peter and the incredible gift that he has passed onto me. Anyone that knows me well enough will know how much I rave about Pete. Just look through my posts on the Café, I honestly believe he is the greatest performer of all time. I can also attest that Petes stuff WORKS. I use it nearly every day of my life and have very very rarely had problems with it. Everything Pete has released is absolute gold (I consider Izzzy Star 2, to be the greatest effect of all time). It is very rare that a performer will give me the same gift of feeling absolutely bewildered and amazed, but Pete has successfully done that to me via Skype and through his incredible material. I am very lucky to call Pete a friend, and I really do consider him the greatest performer and creator of all time ever. Matt |

Well, that was interesting... Ok, I guess It's all about where you're coming from and where you want to go. I really appreciate the excitement Peter's fans have for his work. I do believe Peter is a creative, hardworking dude and I wish him the greatest success. My initial post was pretty specific but it got a bit off track I'd say.

I use Peter's method to guess star signs and it feels like it hits more than one in twelve times.

Ended up doing my video review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eh-7jW4BP3I
BTW I found a bargain online to get both JINXED AND FREEFORM MENTALISM (bundled!) |

I wish that more of these threads consisted of reviews for the topic at hand as opposed to personal opinions of the creator and/or his other effects. I would love to read more about "Jinxed" and it's content so that I can come to a decision as to whether I should buy it or not.

It depends on what you are looking for. Pete's material, in general, can be considered more difficult as it is not 100%, however this DVD set is all about taking old principle,Ed and using them. Read Practical Mental Magic and you might find some dated material. This DVD set is Pete's take on a few and advice as how you can update dated effects and combine them with others. I personally love this DVD set.
Best wishes, Harry

A Question and an Answer: A one person q and a routine with some cold reading thrown in. You can tell the person what question they are thinking of and give an answer but there is so much more to this effect that could be capitalized on. I use this in a multiphase mind reading routine.
Life Equation: using nothing but their phone calculator they come to their own special integer which you predicted in advance. I use this impromptu and is quite powerful with a numerology reading tagged on. Rosie red: a person thinks of either a name, place, or object and you can divine it but during the explaination Pete tells you how to guess a random country, do a perfect e*****que, and a few other things that are pure gold. Finger finger: two spectators secretly hold up a number on their hands and give you the total. You can then easily tell them how much each person held up. I originally was not too keen on this but the I tried it out and now this is one of my go to impromptu effects. Cigarette divination: they take out a number of cigarrettes from a pack and you can divine the number they take. I don't smoke and my friends don't either so I don't use the physical pack but he explains one you can do just mentally that I use. It's also impromptu. A lock and keys:you can guess a participants written cell unlock pin code from a series of cards. I use the one from Bigger Fish 2 more than this one but if I also use this method from time to time. A slate and a number: you can divine a spectators birthday another ones drawing and you finish with an add a number all with one move. It is worth the price of this DVD set alone and is an entire act when interweaved with other effects. I have a more in-depth review on penguin magic and I encourage you to look back a little further in this thread for other peoples reviews. I highly recommend this set. Best wishes, Harry

'How it this possible? So much offense and trying to put down a product in such many ways...' I like the DVD, you'll need to watch again some chapters to understand everything, but this is very good !
