Sounds like a good deal. Video and a 30 page PDF. Looking forward to seeing some reviews.

Why isn't this an instant download? Tried to buy it but was asked for shipping but if it's a video and PDF shouldn't it be an instant download ?

They probably screwed up on the back end inventory side of things.

Yeah, I recognized this from his lecture. This irony is that PW is too "limiting" in my venues--so I would have been bummed, buying this and not knowing it was based on that principle.

It's good stuff and he's good at it, but know you are getting a thought-out, technical treatise on one skill: PW.

Why not just say what it is in the ad copy? Seems.... shady.

I don't think there was any shady intentions especially from someone like Banachek. I think most enthusiast of the art would recognise quickly what method this entailed after watching the trailer. However, for anyone else coming across the trailer on you tube, it would not be so obvious. And as for the price, well pennies isn't it. I'll be paying 15 bucks to listen to what this guy, a seasoned pro at the height of his profession, has to say on the subject just in case I want to pocket write one day LOL!

I doubt Banachek wrote the ad copy, but I could be wrong. Just stating it is PW would be enough for the enthusiast to know, yet those unfamiliar with PW would still be in the dark.

I didn't comment on the price, nor does that have anything to do with the ad copy which purposefully doesn't tell us what this actually is.

This isn't even about Banachek, only about this vague ad copy I am seeing with mentalism effects.

Not shady IMHO. This has how effects have always traditionally been marketed. Don't people remember buying effects at the magic shops that came with photocopy instructions and you literally just had the effect description to base your purchase on? LoL.

Wouldn't the lecture be the better deal? Anyone know what is covered in the stand alone effect that is not covered in the lecture?

That's my question. It seems like Penguin has a habit of taking a single effect/technique from an existing lecture and making it into a separate product... Usually that product is equal to the price of the full lecture except offered at 50% off for the first few weeks. It's kind of annoying. They should say, "If you own Banachek's lecture, you already know this technique.". If it's an extended explanation and with other material, that's fine, but at least let folks know it's the same basic technique.

I would also like to know if this download is a more in depth look into PW then the lecture..

This is much more thorough, with live performances, much more video instruction, as well as a dense 30 page pdf.

That said, the lecture is great. If you haven't seen the lecture, then it's an easy decision -- get the lecture! It's an insane value. Banachek was extremely generous with his time and wisdom that unforgettable night. It's unfair to compare the "value" of anything against this lecture... it's just... wow.

If you watched the lecture, loved it and want a comprehensive guide with everything Banachek has ever taught about Unlimited and then some, check this out.

I know what PW is but have never studied it. Would the techniques of unlimited be preformable in jeans and no jacket?

Thanks

Depends on the jeans Smile Baggy jeans? Maybe. Skinny jeans? Probably not. In most cases, anyway.

So true. All of the above. You just can't go wrong learning from Banachek.

The download is worth it even just for the PDF guys. It's very comprehensive.
