What the ad says:

Even the most famous psychics in the world are never this accurate!

Introducing Hotline, a formidable utility tool delivering precise readings, astonishing routines, and impactful reveals.

Disguised as a contemporary mindfulness tool, the card initially promotes meditation, urging focus on achieving an ideal future. However, beneath this facade, cunning secrets are concealed.

THE HOTLINE READING

A simple numerology reading is offered. Each numbered square on the card represents a desirable future quality. Your participant is asked to mentally select one that resonates with them, and as with all numerology readings, a basic calculation is made. This can be done on their phone (which you never touch). Enter, the Hotline Equation. This devious calculation produces a genuinely random four digit number upon which to base your reading, however, secretly coded into the total you'll discover their chosen quality. You now have immediately relevant context for your reading, as well as a guaranteed reveal that was never written down or spoken aloud.

Before you recoil at the notion of employing mathematics, know that Lewis insisted the Hotline Equation meet specific criteria. It had to be:

Mind numbingly easy.

Endlessly repeatable.

Deceptive.

A different total every time with no patterns.

A free choice of all values entered. The participant chooses any numbers they like.

They don't tell or show you what they've entered.

Quick, with no more than three steps.

Justified and easy to follow/understand.

Not boring.

As far as participants are concerned, all you see is a random four digit total, yet from it, you extract their exact thought, which becomes the crux of the reading.

The Hotline Equation meets all of the above.

SUPER PSYCHIC

With a few business cards and a pen, Super Psychic is the Hotline Reading on steroids, allowing you to reveal even more details about participants from home addresses to job titles and cherished names, all without prior knowledge. Even renowned psychics pale in comparison to this level of accuracy.

PEEK WALLET INTEGRATION

The Hotline card is made in the U.K. from 100% plastic, with a special finish that allows you to write on it with regular sharpie. Hand both the card and pen to your participant and ask them to circle their choice. Then, in returning the card to your peek wallet, you'll have access to their most desired future path, which can be revealed in any number of ways (youll find plenty of inspiration for this in the tutorial video). The cards finish allows sharpie ink to remain permanent enough to perform with, and yet easily removable with some pressure from your thumb.

MINIATURE BOOK TEST

The cards reverse features a brief text outlining its pseudo-purpose and conceals a classic book test. Participants think of a word, and moments later, you reveal what it is. Three methods are taught (no anagrams). This test is a perfect warm-up or connection-building process before performing Super Psychic.

You could turn up to paid gigs with nothing more than Hotline, a pen and a pocket full of business cards, and perform all night with the content people care most about, doing the things that a genuine psychic or seer would probably do with their abilities.

Whether youre a complete beginner or experienced professional, the downloadable tutorial video will teach you everything you need to know to get the most out of your Hotline card. Along the way you’ll also learn plenty of tips, subtleties and advice from Lewis Le Val.

Hotline stands on its own as a powerful tool, but may be harmoniously combined with Lewis Le Vals bestselling reading system, Devil Knows.

you'll receive your very own 100% plastic Hotline card, made right here in the U.K., with a link to the downloadable tutorial videos.

Please note: download link ships with card.

My thoughts:

When I read the ad above, I was quite intrigued. This seemed like something I would really like and potentially use. Generally I very much like Lewis LeVal's thinking.

After receiving my HOTLINE card and instruction link in the mail, and going through all of the tutorials, over-all I felt disappointed. This is just my opinion, and your mileage may vary, but there were several things about this project that just don't work for me.

For starters, I can't read much of the HOTLINE card without my glasses. The numbers and words associated with each number are large enough, however, the small lettering on the rest of the card is hard to read. The reverse type (pink letters on black background) does not help.

The second issue I have is the core method using math. Or as the British say, maths. Lewis says in the tutorial he is not good with math and made the calculation as easy as possible. And I agree as far as calculations go, it is pretty easy. However, it is still a calculation that you have to remember, and the participant has to follow your instructions exactly. If they make an error when doing the calculation on their phone, the result will be wrong. I'm not good with math. I always use a calculator to double and triple check even simple addition, and often get different results. So that should tell you how bad I am with math. In the heat of performance, I'm not confident I would give the instructions correctly, and I would be worried the participant may not follow my instructions correctly.

The third issue for me is, I really do not care for the whole process of using a calculation to secretly know what topic the participant is thinking of. I thought I might like it when I read the ad, but I just do not care for it. If I'm going to do a reading for someone, I would much rather just ask them what their question is. And if I'm performing a mentalism effect, there are other ways to secretly obtain their question which I prefer.

The final issue I have with this release is, the instruction on how to give a numerology reading is very minimal. I've been studying numerology for years, and am very comfortable giving readings using numbers. But for someone with limited knowledge or experience with numerology, they really are not going to be able to perform HOTLINE without some study and practice of numerology. Several times in the tutorial Lewis mentions another release of his that goes into more detail on how to give readings. This would have been a much better release if the section on how to give numerology readings had been more in-depth, and included an actual reading or two.

Is this something I will use? No.

Would I buy it again? No.

These are just my opinions. Your experience may be different.

Man I wish I read this before I bought it. It’s in my wallet like other tricks are in my drawer.
