I just read the write-up for "7 Deceptions" by Luke Jermay/Kenton Knepper on Kenton's website: http://www.wonderwizards.com/item.php?id=44

Has anyone purchased this? If so, could you please post your reviews?

Thanks in advance.

I could be mistaken, but last I heard from Kenton, it's not shipping yet. If it is, I'd like a review as well.

Correct. The material is awaiting shipment. Luke is also selling copies with an early reservation discount, but he too is expecting the initial stock from Kenton.

I received e-mail from Kenton Friday, informing me that my order was on the way.

Jerry, would you mind giving a review on the material when you try it out? From the page it looks amazing, forget your name? Thanks!

Sure thing.

Isn't there anybody here who has received their copy yet? Im anxious to hear about it!

sincerly,

I just ordered mine from magicsmith. There was no comment about availability so I guess they have it in stock.

Who is Luke Jermay, anyhow?

You should check out his introduction on http://www.kjmagic.com if you want to know anymore. Not that it's very informative, I just thought I'd let you know.

Luke jermay's 7 Deceptions is an excellent book, well worth buying and full of excellent material, not for the beginner though but a very useful tool none the less.

Very strong use of linguistics and suggestion. If you do private sittings for a group of people or even stage work then you will use this, if you are just a hobbyist then maybe you wont, but you will learn some great techniques. I wont review the book because this is the wrong place for that but I am glad now that I bought it.

I recieved 7 Deceptions last week and I agree with Wayman, if you like kenton you'll love this, its not for the beginner, however, if you understand linguistics, and in the right setting - very powerful

Thank you all for your kind words.

Luke Jermay

the effect called "Blessed" is absolutely brilliant. I recommand anybody to look at it and try it. I haven't received my book yet but i can't wait to read it and see what Luke Offers us.

I would like to compliment Luke, as he well knows, on his wonderful book, 7 Deceptions. I found it very direct and well thought out. Most importantly I found it very clear and precise.
I found his work far more clear and easier to understand and explained much better and more precise than I found Kentons material to be. Thank you, Luke.

I also respect his attention to detail and that you explain, in full, leaving nothing out - which is an aspect of Kentons work that I sometimes feel is done.

That would be his effect published at Online Visions previously mentioned. See it here:

Blessed is an effect I use as an "informal" bizarre sequence. Not really mental at all it is however if doen correctly, the hardest part of the effect is finding a good scar material actually - but that done it is not to hard at all.

I'm intrested how many of you guys mix mental with bizarre/story telling?
