Just saw this on youtube. From the preview it looks like a combo coin bend + pulse stop + Luke Jermay Twisted Palm type thing. I wonder whether this is a Benjamin Earl effect or whether it was just him doing it in the preview. Looks like it has some promise.

Doesnt really suit me cos Im not a mentalist, but Im kinda suspicious of how it emphasizes no stooges etc.

TheAlkhemist07: Would you be just as suspicious if it were ONLY a coin bend? Or ONLY a pulse stop? Or ONLY a suggestion?

If anything, I'd say the three parts all compliment each other to make the effect even EASIER to perform. Stooges certainly not required.

It is a Benjamin Earl effect.

Its not that they do compliment each other.
But there are several titles at the start EMPHASISING the fact that there are no stooges.
Its probably because its such a good effect that I dont trust it.

it looks like one of those "too unreal to be cool"-effects to me. Have read some about pulse-stopping, and it's .. how should I put this without any exposure.. HARD to do I guess. Think you're right about the pulse-stop, coin-bending mixture, so six years in the making is just some marketing-thingy. If it's done the way I think it is, it would be a bad purchase for me as I know 2 of the methods, but if not it's a really great trick.

Haven't tried much mentalism yet, but was thinking of using the XXX-gimmick to pick up girls predicting their middle name or something

I like the looks of it. I would get just to see how it was all combined. I do like a nice pulse stop and a coin bend.
