The Effect
* Chronologue: A predicted card matches what is written in a diary on a freely selected date. New work and psychology including stage and close-up versions.
* Name/Place Routine: A couple of spectators think of a person and a place and you divine their thoughts.
* Psychomatic Deck: A spectator looks at a card in the deck and you read their mind, telling them what card they are thinking of.
* Fourth Dimensional Telepathy: You reveal the name of a childhood friend, the name of a pet, and reproduce a previously drawn illustration.
* Card Memory: A rapid memorization of a shuffled deck of cards.

Review
Cassidy performs his professional show in front of an amazed audience of mentalists and then explains everything.

If you ever wanted to make people believe you can read their minds. Cassidy teaches many of his original routines and discusses how to structure, present and create a mind reading show.

Includes dozens of technical and psychological tips, theories and advice about prop management, pocket management, staging, checkpoints, prop construction, mnemonics, establishing actions, taking advantage of coincidence, prop selections, miscalls, billet preparation, covering of errors, precautionary measures, giving clear instructions, deck stacks and making mentalism credible

Overall
A good choice for mentalists of all levels of expertise
