This is possibly the most fiendish piece of laminated card I've ever seen.

I tried it out on the missus last night, and she freaked - unusual for her, as she's the most magic-proof person I know.

I'm very impressed.

Crumbled and placed order today.

Very nice product and very well developed effect... quality stuff.

Just saw he's done another card effect. If this as nice as the thought reader I'm sold.

Yeah, I ordered that today. I'm so weak....

I really, really like this. One piece of advice though, don't try it on someone who can't see very well! I was working at a wedding and after impressing a table with my usual routine I thought "Seize the moment! Give the thought reader a go!" So I produced it from my pocket and presented it to the lady sat next to me. "I'm sorry love," she said, "I can't see the writing. It's very small isn't it?" Ah.

So my advice is to only use it on nubile young ones of whichever flavour you prefer. Hurrah for the thought reader.

How about carrying one of those credit card-sized magnifiers for visually challenged people?

Ah but then you're in danger of being "caught out" if you know what I mean. I believe that the size of the font is that size on purpose to deter folk from...well, you know. (Don't want to give too much away).

Actually, I don't because I don't have my card yet. But will have it tomorrow, with any luck.

It is really cool. Read the instructions first though. It really is worth reading every page of the detailed instructions as afterwards you'll know the principle inside out and will hopefully feel very comfortable using it. Great piece of kit.

Well I got this about two weeks ago and read through all the instructions. I was a little bit perturbed by the workings, so it has basically just sat here. However, yesturday I just thought I'd try it out and it worked beautifully! I've only tried it the once but I'll definately be sticking it in my wallet and taking it with me now since I got such a great buzz out of the first performance. This looks like real mind reading. It would be very easy to perform this wrongly, but all of the presentational subtleties are given to you in the instructions making failure extremely difficult. This little card has given me a great deal of confidence in performing mentalism, in a similar way to how I felt after getting away with audacious card moves in magic. I can't wait to try this out again and again.

I asked the second person to relax and just quickly look at one word upon the list...to see if the first person really could mentally influence them in a free decision...

so I got the first person to start describing their object, the one they were trying to transmit/influence the other to pick...

the word and description matched...

Fantastic idea!

This is fantastic, and looks so good in my magnum next to sanctum II, and kioku, a killer with good audience management.

Me like alot.

I have this and the You Know Who Card too and the subtleties really take it to another level.

When I first saw the items I was "Oh!" but after reading the instructions - was well impressed. Real thought has gone into the performances.

This sounds like another one for the CUPS list....yes, they do exist.

I feel that when good service is given, it needs to be recognized.
I bought this effect a month ago, but the laminate had started peeling away and gathering fluffy lint etc etc.
I e-mailed Paul 2 days ago Re this problem, and waiting on my doorstep this morning was some shinny new replacements! WOW.

A big thank you to Paul for a great tool to the mentalists arsenal, and a big thank you for the prompt and efficient customer service.
