Http://youtu.be/60vEabWI75Y any reviews on this? looks to good to be true. Mind Deck by Vincenzo Di Fatta

Hello,

Just got confirmation this morning from the supplier. We will have this in stock this week at Hocus Pocus.

Best regards

Gee I don't know - I mean I can see what the performer is doing (more or less), and that's fine I guess but this also seems like an effect that you would not want to do in a situation where the spectators might talk afterwards (which in many cases they will in close up or strolling). For stage - ya, maybe.

I'm assuming this works on the concept most mentalists are quite familiar with - again nothing wrong, but also not that ground breaking either from what I am seeing.

Most here I would guess are performing close up for friends, family and co-workers and as such this probably isn't going to fly.

For stage or larger settings this might be a nice concept.

The ad says at the end:

No electronics

No Magnets

No stooges

Really?

Really !

Oh, a wise guy!

Looks like Monte Cristo cards & a reverse fan. But it can't be, cause we're told this is "New".

I don't think MC at all as that is basically a ***e.

I think here you have a completely free choice.

I can do almost the same trick using a borrowed deck in FASDIU conditions!!! I learned this trick in a DVD full with "easy to do" card tricks. There's no need to buy a special deck to do this effect. See you!!!

You certainly wouldn't want to perform this on two friends. DR springs to mind. On two strangers that will part their way after the effect, then this is a miracle.

This I suspect needs a bigger group and maybe similar to a TOD which we are discussing at Inner Thoughts - the bigger the better.

Not quite DR but in the same vein.

The ad seems misleading in a number of ways - would be really cool if the creator or someone else with knowledge of this release would chime in to address some of the legit questions brought up.

Looks to be similar (if not identical) to a Ted Lesley idea.

Looks the same of the Tony Binarelli's Supermentalism Deck to me...

Which is based on the Lesley principle that I mentioned.
Only there appears to be one handling difference that I can see.

e

Wich Ted Lesley idea did you mean ?

It's probably best not to discuss too much in depth here - but the method used is well known.

Yes you are right

Can the spectator examine the deck?

Only if the spec is blind or blindfolded.

It may be a really nice deck and best for stage. Again, would be nice to hear from the creators.
