ANATE by Dee Christopher

Postby Lee Smith » Jun 9th, '09, 14:51



What it says -



ANATE is a psychological technique.

It's a subtlety that is not 100% sure fire, but when you get the technique down and you hit, You'll know it.

Imagine placing one card on the table, face down. The spectator decides on a card, they turn over the card to reveal a perfect match. The place explodes.

Imagine holding your wallet in full view and asking a spectator to name a card. The card is then instantly pulled from your wallet.

Imagine something that you can carry with you always, to create impossible, unbelievable prop-free demonstrations with boundaries as limitless as your imagination.


There is no indexing, no gimmicks, no stacks, no nothing. All you need is a single playing card, or a maximum of four cards in your wallet, or maybe a post-it note to write a prediction.


The reviews speak for themselves. As mentioned before, this is a psychological technique. With the correct study and performance you will blow people's minds, it's not for everyone... Is it for you?

Review -

I hope this has not been put up already but couldn't find anything after doing a search.

I have to be honest I almost did not do this review as I like the effect so much. I dont want to many people performing this effect, but I thought id share my thoughts, on it. Also dont usually review anything that i have not tried in the real world.

So here we go. When I first looked into this I was not to sure what to expect, then once I had read the PDF and chuckled to myself thought great, loved it right away, its so devious and could not wait to try it out. Its so sneaky which it makes it even more fun to perform.

I'll be honest that im a pretty bold performer and I just love this sort thing. As it says clearly in the blurb its not 100% surefire but you know when you hit and believe me you will know. I have found that with a bit of practice this will work almost every time. It just takes a bit of confidence and audience management, there are plenty of outs you can use when you miss so that the spectators will be not even know.

I have had some of the biggest reactions ever with this and it feels like real magic when it hits (you cant help but smile everytime :D ) a bonus is its a real magician fooler aswell :D there are many workers I have spoken to that all use this, and iI now use this all the time as well.

There are a few performance ideas in the PDF and also some ideas for the outs if you miss. Its well produced and easy to read.

Once you know the method you can start trying this out as soon as you have finished reading it.

I would say that a few people will probably change the revelation in some way as I have done to fit my own performance.

All in all i love this and dont think anyone should be put off by the fact its not surefire. Like I say no one knows when you miss so there is no chance of getting caught, but you will have to try it to see the reactions this gets.

The more you perform ANATE the more you will get used to how it works and you will amaze yourself how well this plays..

10/10

I hope you guys check it out.

This sounds like it will replace something in my show I needed to change, can the card be different every time?

Great Review. I have used this for some time now. Confidence is the key to pulling this off. It's a great effect if you only have one single playing card on you. :wink:

I bought this and couldnt believe just how simple the method is!! I think before I start to use it I need to make sure I have sufficient "outs" just in case. I can imagine it being a lovely little thing to perform though, and I look forward to when I do!!!!

Hello! Just joined the forums and lo and behold look what I find!

I'm really glad you guys that have picked up the PDF like it, it's something that I love to bust out when the time is right!

Anyone that knows LOKI from Pieces@3am, that can be a PERFECT out, it's what I use if I don't hit - Just pose ANATE as a psychological evaluation, if it hits, continue with the effect, if not, explain that by naming .... it tells you alot about the person, bring out the chips and LOKI it up!

Mastercycle, the force isn't limited to cards, in the PDF I briefly cover using the force to simple force a number, an object and once you know the concept, you can start applying it elsewhere too! Some one emailed me not long ago with a FRUIT force! :P

I must stress that this will only work in English as far as I know, I've yet to find another language that it does work in, so unless you perform in English, it won't be for you!

For those that do perform in English and do even a bit of mentalism or mental magic, this could be the perfect tool for your impromptu arsenal!

All the best,

DC

It's NOTHING like db's force at all - completely different in method, and as mentioned in my previous post THIS IS NOT LIMITED TO CARDS.

You can essentially force anything on a spectator once you know the technique. (within reason, you'll understand when you read the PDF)

This is a very versatile technique that a lot of people have called the most sure fire psyche force they've ever used. The reason most people see it as a card force is that the focus effect described in full is my thought of card in wallet, SIMPLEX KILLER.

It's only one presentation ;)

Best,

DC

I love this. First time I did it the reaction was "I was determined to name a six but then for some reason I changed my mind at the last moment - and named the card on the table". It's that strong, when it works (which is most of the time) it feels like real magic and/or mind-control. Excellent stuff!

I'm a little late to the dance on this one, but I wanted to chime in. ANATE was interesting to say the least. I do think it's a little pricey for what you get. However, if it's something you use regularly, the investment would be well worth it. For me, I don't think it suits my style. I've posted my full review (Note from Mods: As per the message below, please post reviews here in full - links to elsewhere aren't really appreciated)
