However, a majority of the tutorial is shot too far out. More close-ups would've been a lot more helpful. Addtionally, the tutorial link is a long web address that is microspic in writing and impossible to type in correctly into your computer, so you're forced to scan the QR Code for the tutorial and watch it on your small phone screen. There are html shorteners out there which would make it far easier for people to type in and better for those who want to watch the tutorial on their computer or laptop. You can use the camera on your pc/labtop to read the QR code.

I previewed it at Magic Live! This year and people REALLY loved it there too. I was really fooling a lot of people with it (Especially the first part). Its a routine I wanted to solve for years and once I did, something I never leave the house without. I have performed this many many hundreds if not thousands of times by now and I will do it forever. Itsmagic - thanks for picking one up. I hope you try it, it is a very strong thing. Not only is the trick really engaging but all the details I share as part of the tutorial teach techniques I have learned over the 20 years I have performed Mentalism. This was actually an expensive item to produce but of course you are buying the idea, the details and handling and the objects - keep that in mind. I think for whats shared its very good value. What you are saying about font size is a surprise to me, it has never been an issue. With all demographics of people all over the world. I work with a professional designer on everything, and I am very happy with how this came out. All the close up shots you need are on the tutorial are there, if there is anything you need clarity on, Im happy to help anyway I can. Remember that once you scan a QR code and open the tutorial, you can email, airdrop, or message to any other computer or device - youre not stuck to watch on the initial device you scan on. Alex over at Monster Magic just reviewed NST here: https://youtu.be/Z9MWa2FGjak?si=pq-xZL72kyhK7OPc Here is a full performances for those who want to se me doing it: https://youtu.be/s20rZX72zgQ?si=fLvJZBA-v_A5HYJ- I am around when I find time to help with anything and answer anything people are curious about. Good thoughts to you all! Chris My Work - https://c-r-products.yolasite.com/Store.php#!/~/

And placed out in front maybe on an easel? Thanx

And placed out in front maybe on an easel? Thanx You could indeed, quite easily. However, my suggestion from experience with this - just do the routine with the props as is. No need to make the game card bigger as then it becomes a prop. The card is just there to remove any memory work and give context. You and your spectator read questions from it, there is no need for all to see it. Hopefully that helps. Chris My Work - https://c-r-products.yolasite.com/Store.php#!/~/

joogy Regular user 186 Posts	Posted: Nov 23, 2025 12:10 am 2 Hola all, I bought this and absolutely love it. I performed it on my family yesterday, and they are always trying to catch me out, but this blew them away. I am a casual performer for friends and family,but I have learnt quickly, if you cannot engage with your spectator or audience, it doesn't matter how good your props or sleights are, you will never wow them. With No Small Talk, you have no option but to engage, and the beauty is that the spectator actually isn't even thinking you're doing a trick, until you hit them with the first phase. If you're a shy person, this may even help with your social life in meeting new people! I'm no way a top magician, or even anywhere near a good amateur, but I can talk for England and India combined, so this is so easy to perform for me! I highly recommend it. PS: I don't know Chris Rawlins personally, but he did say if I posted a great review, he'd send me free tricks for life!! What!!! It's a joke, its a joke for crying out loud!!
Psy Veteran user 343 Posts	Posted: Nov 23, 2025 12:24 am 1 Can this be translated to other languages?

Yes, but obviously you'd have to make your own card. The card isn't anything special though, but if it doesn't match with the envelope, which is a game envelope, it will seem weird. But although the envelope is gimmicked for a peek, you don't have to use the envelope. You could just make up your own card in any language and use any peek you want.
PatrickGregoire Inner circle 2740 Posts	Posted: Nov 23, 2025 04:20 am 1 Actually, apologies but my last post wasn't entirely accurate. The envelope is designed to accomplish the first phase as well as the peek for the second phase. But you could easily make your own envelope.

I just got in from an event where this would have been a perfect fit. Ordered. Look for all the world like you're counting the brain cells in his cranium. -Theodore Annemann
