Hello there Café,
I wanted to pass along some info that a new ebook is being released by Adrien Lochon. Full disclosure, I did edit and proof this book and know Adrien personally, But this is a large step forward in my opinion. Here's the blurb: Too often, our time is spent trying to make ourselves look as impressive as possible, but what truly makes a performer memorable is the connection he can make with his audience. The Jafi Read is an exploration of how to have a magical conversation and truly connect with someone. It does happen to feature a star sign reveal at its core, but the real value of it is how everything comes together and gives you the tools to engage with your participant in a meaningful way. With The Jafi Read, conversation is the method. You can perform this with absolutely nothing on you. There’s no anagrams, no guessing of letters and no long procedures. Nothing feels out of place and there's no deception to be found. No stone is left unturned: the mindset and psychological tools are laid out, there are multiple variations of the star sign reveal and even a simplistic - but ultimately very effective - system for readings. The Jafi Read was previewed to other performers for months now. See what they’ve all been raving about: This is the way that propless was meant to be. Only available directly through me: paypal 35$ to adrien.lochon@gmail.com or use the link above and I'll send the PDF as soon as possible. https://www.paypal.me/adrienlochon/35usd Thank you, Adrien.

I love this. Not because it's another zodiac sign divination - because this is a high quality product. It's well thought out, road tested, well written, beautifully formated and loaded with crazy good thoughts on philosophy, building connections and presentation. As long as you are not braindead you WILL get something out of this book. Btw, Adrien is the least money-hungry mentalist I know and he worked long and hard for this masterpiece - do yourself a favor, pick it up and support this talented man!
Much love, Nico |

Is this language dependent in any way?

No, it's not language dependent. In fact, English isn't Adrien's first language.

Thank you for the love, Craig and Nico! You are awesome!
And thanks everyone for the PMs. To answer a couple of questions, there are absolutely no language restrictions (as Craig already said), no dual reality, no reframes or reliance on eye/body cues. This is purely conversational. The book was written for months and has been reviewed by some of the biggest names in the game, such as Aaron Alexander (who wrote the foreword), Fraser Parker, Paul Voodini, Jerome Finley, Phedon, Warren Thackeray, Steve Wachner, Mitchell Kettlewell, Ever Elizalde and a lot more! This isn't just a star sign reveal. It is a study on how to CONNECT with the people you perform for. There's indeed a star sign reveal in there (4 of them in fact), but there's a LOT of thoughts and ideas about what mind reading should be, a simplistic readings system and and even a memory reveal! |

The star sign reveals in the book also happen to be the best ones out there, in my opinion. There's one core method to the star sign reveal and the others in The Jafi Read are variations of it (including one where the participant doesn't have to say anything for you to learn their sign).

I get what you're saying IAIN, but... what do you suggest? My friends shouldn't comment on my releases?
If you go to the purchase link ( http://jafi.adrienlochon.com ) you'll see that Voodini and Finley's quotes are the first two. I made that on purpose: those two GREAT performers and creators aren't my personal friends and have absolutely nothing to gain in saying something nice about my work. Jacob, on the other hand, is a close friend and he's very clear about that on his review. Let me propose something: YOU buy the book and tell us what you think about it. If you find no value in it, I'll refund you no questions asked. If you do like it, I'll add your quote to Voodini and Jerome's. Deal? Quote:

I mean, look at craig's opening post - its great that he's honest, but its kinda written like he's passing on some news - but really, he's very involved in the PDF and its only available from him - but then he also includes your paypal details as well as his? that's confusing...
going on Jacob's video review, I'm not quite sure what I'm getting, its a memory reveal but its also a star sign thing? and! there'd be no point in adding me to the quotes... and look, you know I release stuff - why not just be upfront and do it yourself? I've done exactly that downstairs in inner thoughts...

And yeah, its normal for friends to comment on a release, or those that get a freebie - look at the honesty in matt/last laugh's new release - everyone identified themselves upfront...
again - I appreciate its difficult to get the word out and just wait for a purchaser's review, but there seems to be a shift going on with what the audeience wants in their reviews...and the first one seems to be transparency... as soon as I see the usual group of people all pumping each other's work, I immediately stop myself from buying it, even if it sounds interesting... not quite sure what the answer is, apart from wait for a review from a purchaser, or what I sometimes do - if I get an email or PM saying "I bought so-and-so, and I liked it..." I sometimes ask "would it be ok if you wrote a quick honest review of it please"...

It's only available through ME and he only gives MY paypal. It's not "kinda written like he's passing some news" it's written EXACTLY like he's passing some news and that's the very first thing he says. The very next thing is that he did the editing and proof-reading. It's OBVIOUS he is biased. I don't know how he could be any more honest than that! But being biased doesn't make him automatically wrong Quote:

I didn't do it because english isn't my first (or second) language, so I asked someone else to do it, in the hopes they would communicate better than me. But if you've proven something it's that people read whatever they want to read, so I guess you're right: it wouldn't have mattered. I would explain exactly what you're getting, but you're obviously not interested in the book... If you still want to talk about it, let's PM instead of filling the thread with useless talk, it that ok? |

Ah yeah, I misread - sorry, craig is obviously posting on your behalf, as it says "its only available through me" and I took "me" to mean craig...my fault...
my other points still stand...as I say, I don't quite understand from Jacob's review, what it is that's on offer... what's a magical conversation?

You would get, among other things, a foreword by Aaron Alexander (who's NOT my personal friend but has shown interest in this project from the start), a couple of different star sign guesses (really good ones!), a simplistic reading system that I've used since forever, essays on authenticity and REAL magic, essays on how your star sign TRULY influences who you are as well as other related thoughts and three variations (these are completely different effects, with completely different presentations, that use the core method in very different ways... one of which is a memory guess).
There's also a private Facebook group with full performances and a lot of bonus stuff on the way. |

Ok, so can you describe the main effect please? That's what I'm not sure of...
I know its conversational - but what is the conversation about? time scale from start to finish for the performance to happen and all wrapped up are we dealing with physical motions at any point? is it 100%? thanks...

Being able to have that conversation in a genuine way, without any prewritten scripts and sprinkles of magic throughout, is what the book is mainly about. I'd say the conversation is about the participant, but it doesn't have to be. If you want to deconstruct this to it's bare elements (which I think is a mistake, but understand it's necessary for people who don't know it) I'd say it's a reading with a built in star sign reveal.
The duration of the whole thing is pretty much up to you: I've done this in 10 minutes, but I've also done it in maybe 1 minute... One of the performances I've shot has the reveal coming at around 2min, but the conversation doesn't end with the reveal. No physical motions at all: I've done this over the phone and it's 100%. There is a variation that is ALL ABOUT body motion (and it's what makes it interesting) and another variation that uses them in the usual way, but the main method doesn't rely on that. Just words and almost no procedure. |
