The Effect
Supposedly a highly entertaining Mentalism show that you can buy the props @ your local supermarket for less than $10
Cost
$99.95 from L&L Publishing
Difficulty
(1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)
Well considering it doesn't use any slights, just psychological stuff it's hard to rate...
Review
Having read 3 of the 4 Colour Books of Mentalism, I was really looking forward to watching this. Was expecting to be entertained & baffeled by how he read the spec's minds...
Well I was definiatly baffeled... at how someone could produce something so boring, I had been watching the DVD for 20min & he hadn't even done his 1st effect
many of the effects left me wondering what he'd been trying to prove & why he did what he did
He had to solicit applause from the audiance several time (Not usually the case with the L&L crowd - even "Front Row Frank" didn't seem that impressed)
Even his famed "Para-sight" was a let down though I'd given up really paying attention long b4 then and was reading the L&L Catallogue
Overall
Well you can't say that L&L are using false advertising here... It says Nothing on the Tin & there is Nothing inside
I'm glad I watched this at a friend's house & didn't waste the money.
Rather spend your money on some of Banachek or Richard Osterlind's material...
