This is my review of post mentalism.
This trick is exactly the same as The Perfect Prediction - I'm seriously angry about it, I bought the thing and basically bought a *insert gimmick* for $30 when I can buy one for $3 and have been doing so for ages. Fine I only bought it out of curiosity, because I wondered how else this could possibly be done, but still I feel scammed. Whats his name who "created" this was plugging it saying its totally unique, nothing else like it rah rah rah. It's a total rip off of Perfect prediction! They've got reviews up and he's saying his "top magician" friends are shocked, asking him how he came up with it. Well he COPIED it.
It's ridiculous, anyone take an existing idea, effect, whatever, make up their own notes and buy a load of *insert gimmick*s from china and make a load of cash claiming it's original, and seriously he can't POSSIBLY play the I invented it too, I didn't know about perfect prediction card, bull **** he didn't. He didn't take 2 minutes to search google and see if it existed? See if he had any contenders. Come on.
Buy Perfect Prediction instead you get lots of other nice little routines with it too, it's a much better product, its cheaper and it's an original idea, not a copied one.
This is the effect:
Before a major event (football game, election, etc), you offer to make a prediction to one of your friends. However in the interest of security, you don’t want to hold on to the prediction yourself, nor do you want your friend to. You offer to mail the prediction in the form of a letter to your spectator's house, using the US Postal Service. In this way, it would be a felony to tamper with it!
You write the prediction, put it in an envelope, address it, put a stamp on it, and hand it to your friend. You then invite him to put the letter in any mailbox in town.
The following day (or whenever the letter happens to arrive), alone at home, your friend's brain will slowly disassemble itself and finally shut down, trying to figure out how you knew.
YES. It's as clean and straight-forward as it sounds. There's absolutely nothing misleading in this description. Get ready to be talked about, this is a reputation maker.
And it's a great effect, but he's passing something off as his own work when it isn't. No credit. Nothing. Even ellusionist give people bloody credit.
So all in all don't buy it you'll be wasting $30 on a gimmick which can be obtained for $3. Buy Kenton Kneppers perfect prediction.[/b]
