FOR ALL THE DETAILS READ BELOW

What if you could convince someone that you could truly reach into their mind and place a thought there?

How much fun would it be to not only know what someone is thinking but to be able to prove it without a shadow of a doubt and with 100% accuracy!

Well friends, wait no more as your fantasy has now become reality!

Mental Killer is a new app from the creative and devious mind of Max Krause. With this app you will able to present demonstrations that will have people questioning reality in ways you never thought possible.

Here is only one presentation of Mental Killer:

The performer removes a card or piece of paper containing a phone number and places it on the table.

The performer then explains that he/she is going to try and influence the spectator to make a decision. Once that decision has been made, the performer will call the number on the card or paper placed on the table before the effect started, which is the number of the performer's friend, to verify whether or not the performer was successful.

The spectator is asked to think of any card and once a card is committed to, the performer dials the number with his/her phone.

The phone rings and an answering machine message comes on and tells the spectator the EXACT card they had chosen. Truly unbelievable!!

Mental Killer will be an ever evolving and expanding app that you will want to use in almost any social situation. Mental Killer will become your most cherished secret assistant and the more you do it, the better it will become.

The most difficult part of performing Mental Killer will be keeping a straight face as you completely baffle your unsuspecting victims!



Review
I have had a mixed bag of Iphone apps previously as a lot of people, even those with no magic knowledge whatsoever, figure out that the phone is doing the effect and so isn't really " magic"
However I have to say this is really superb. The best part about this effect is that it doesn't appear to be an Iphone App at all. The performer looks like he is just using the Iphone as ..well a phone!
This can be done with a real pack of cards or an imaginary pack ( ideal for me as i don't tend to carry cards with me) and it involves a totally free choice. There are no forces required whatsoever.
The added bonus with this effect is that it is not country specific and can be adapted so that it would appear the phone call involved is being answered within the UK as well as USA.Both the ring tone and voice are English if desired!! Every element is customable to the performers choice in the easy set up.

I spoke to Max on Facebook and he is extremely pleasant and helpful. When discussing another of his effects he offered to teach me a necessary move needed for that effect over Skype if i need it! I m sure the offer would be there for this effect but trust me you will not need the help it is so simple to do!!

Difficulty
I would say a 1. Its so so simple to do on the technical front. No secret moves or sly pressing of buttons like some apps.

Overall
Brilliant effect and for very little money. UK price was £6.99 on Itunes and worth every penny. Only bought it last night so have not tried it out for real yet but cannot wait!!!
