Hello everyone!
I am proud to announce that my new ebook is finally available for purchase! "The Magician" That Became "The Mentalist," is a collection of workable material and ideas that I have created over the past few years. I share with you some of my most used, original routines that I use in the real world. I also share some of my thoughts on mentalism and magic.. This includes the importance of performance, dual reality, simplicity, and much more. In this book you'll find useful effects and advice, whether you are a magician, mentalist, or in between! I even share a new principle never before seen in mentalism or magic. A principle I named the "WatchStop" principle that can be adapted to fit your own routines! Whether you are a newcomer to magic/mentalism, or a seasoned pro, I'm sure there is material for everyone to enjoy within these pages! The effects taught: QuICk: A marked coin is found within the fibers of a selected playing card! This mixes some magic with some mentalism principles to create an unbelievable miracle! Sneaky Peeky: A devious utility move used to read the minds of two spectators at once using only a deck of playing cards! Dual Fiction: Two participants' minds are mentally connected. After being fully in sync, They both find their thought of playing cards in a borrowed, shuffled deck! Impromptu and gimmicked version taught! (Gimmicks not included). Demo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbyJHPhzN5k The Gambling Mentalist: After a participant is able to use their intuition to divine the thoughts of the mentalist (a wonderful prop-less introduction in which the spectator guesses your thought of card!), they are able to take it a step further and randomly select a playing card that ends up completing the mentalist’s winning poker hand! Training Wheels: A beautiful stage piece using a pendulum that allows for great theater. The mentalist is able to divine a specific memory of a volunteer by contacting the subconscious mind! I.C.A.A.N.T. Even: A stage or parlor ACAAN that seemingly meets most, if not all of the conditions for the "holy grail." A deck is given to a random volunteer and told to keep this deck guarded! Twenty or so members of the audience randomly generate both a card and a number. The cards are dealt face up by the volunteer and the selected card is found at the selected number! You could even have three cards and three numbers selected, all found in the correct positions! Never touched by the performer, audience members truly make free and random choices, and no memorization whatsoever! This uses a classic mentalism prop which can be made at home! 79 page instructional ebook. Pictures included for easier learning! Only $25 (10 dollars off when purchased through me and with provided proof that you have purchased HandWhich). Paypal: incredibledd2@yahoo.com For HandWhich purchasers: Please send an email of the last word on page 5 for proof of purchase! |

Hey guys! I've ben lucky to receive a copy of Dustin Dean ' The Magician' that Became 'The Mentalist'
The .PDF is 80 pages long, it contains 5 effects + 1 peek, and I feel he has put a lot on work in his project. 1- Coin In Card. Nice presentation, method is good, the subleties are very good and his little touches make the effect stronger. Laymens will be impressed by the effect. He give some advices about presentations too. Nice! Pros: Hit hard; They'll be surprised; They'll want keep the card and coin. Cons: Not necessary a mentalism effect but easy to add some subleties to act as a mental magic too, (He said and explain this too) Preparation required (1 min). 7/10 2 - “SNEAKY PEEKY” "The Effect: The mentalist is able to divine not only one thought of playing card, but two thought of playing cards from two different participants!" It's a double peek / control I've ben using this in some of my performances too, but not as the same method described on the pdf, and only using 1 peek instead two. Bascially you're getting a peek of both selected cards, It will depend on you, if you make a big deal 'controling' the card, well you'll be spotted, but if you act naturaly, it will be fine, no problem. Hard to rate but I'll rate it as a 7.5/10. 3 - DUAL FICTION "The Effect: Two participants are fully in sync with one another. After making completely fair choices at the same time, they somehow find their selected cards in a borrowed, shuffed deck! Dual Fiction is my go to, impromptu card effect. It always gets great reactions, and seems completely impossible." This is very good, I'll use this for sure, I've been using a similar method to get a 'prediction' with selected cards and ESP symbols, but this is very smart and everything is justified. The impromptu version is very very very good, and the gimmicked version is so amazing. Very easy to do, no cons for me, fantastic opener OR closer. (Yes sound strange but it's true) Be sure to have a nice presentation before using this effect okay? 9/10 for me. "THE GAMBLING MENTALIST" "The effect: A participant after practicing and learning more about intuition, is able to select the only card needed to complete the mentalist's winning poker hand!" It's a funny effect, and I like it very much. It's an effect I'll perform too. I can't rate it in dificulty because it's so easy, and you'll just need to talk, until the end. it envolve a move (so easy....) and it hit hard. Be sure to read all the subleties, they are very valuable. 8/10 Training Wheels "A beautiful stage piece using a pendulum that allows for great theater. The mentalist is able to divine a specific memory of a volunteer by contacting the subconscious mind! " Well, I love this style of effects, It's a beautiful effect to do on stage! The idea is very good, when you'll read the explanation you'll laught, it's so easy to do and cool. 8/10 I.C.A.A.N.T. EVEN "The Effect: The mentalist hands a volunteer a deck of cards. Both playing cards and numbers are randomly generated by twenty members of the audience. One of these numbers are chosen, along with one of the playing cards. The volunteer deals down to the number, and the card that was chosen is found in that exact position!" It's a perfect ACAAN to do on stage, you'll be surprised about the method, and I can guarantee you'll love the idea. 9/10 Overall opinion: Nice effects, nice subleties, nice hints, 80 page long, well wrote, images included to better understand what's goin on, I liked this project a lot. 8/10

Here is my review on this ebook by our friend Dustin Dean.
You can immediately feel that he has worked a lot to put all his ideas together. Some generalities and common things / “filler” is there, but that is OK. Maybe he could have reduced the total number of pages to 20-25, because it is written in very big / large letters : 15 lines per page only ! Pictures are here to clearly illustrate what he explains, very nice. The text is very clear (some typos) and well written. Now, concerning the effects Coin In Card: I like this one, good presentation, direct. People will like it. Quite original. Sneaky Peeky: As said before, it's a double peek. Not so original from what I know. I prefer other pethods for this type of effect. Dual Fiction: This one is great, especially the gimmicked version, which is the one I will use. Very direct. Excellent. The Gambling Mentalist: No so good for me… I prefer TTCBE in order to create this type of miracle. Too much procedure in this one, and not very hands-off. Training Wheels : Very good effect to perform for stage. Simple, direct and well explained, as always. I.C.A.A.N.T. EVEN : I am a true ACAAN lover, so I was expecting a lot on this one. Well, this is OK. You need to carry extra stuff to perform this, which will give you the number and the card chosen, but it is worth the price if you are lazy about learning a very pure and direct ACAAN (like MirACAAN ). Everything is well explained, and to the audience, it will appear as if every choice was randomly made by the spectators. Maddy added some nice subtelties to it, which is great.

I've had a few inquiries about the deal I am offering..
The ten dollars off applies from purchasing HandWhich, and you can even purchase them at a bundle right now for only $24.90. So yes the discount even applies on the introductory price! This means that you can basically purchase both HandWhich and "TMTBTM" for the price of one! The introductory price ends tonight at midnight, however the HandWhich discount will still apply. Have a pleasant day everyone! -Dustin |
