Just read in the paper, that he plays chess against Britain's nine best players (including four grandmasters) at the same time!!!.
hmmmm i'll bet he wins 5 out of the nine or wins 4 and loses 5
ANYONE can do this!... seriously

well it says in the description that he shows you how to guarantee a win or draw. It's a shame that it will be a trick 'cos I'm losing by about 20 games to 15 to my mate at uni.

Actually the chess playing is quite a funny mentalist trick, and it is a trick.
I can't remember where I read it now (I will find the resource and let you all know) but it is simplicity in itself and the more players you are playing against the easier it is. In fact the method is to start playing a game against the first opponent and then remember.......

What do you mean Shhhhh, since he is going to reveal something from a book that is in every Mentalist's library (found it last night).
Well is it a secret if he is going to reveal the method? Unless it is a method that is just junk and to help throw the all knowing audience off the scent.
Still a method can be found very simply by looking in....

I found one method in a kid's book dating from the 1950's and I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same one. If the actual games are shown in any detail it will become obvious so I suppose it will be handled differently. Enough of this guessing - it's on tomorrow night, yippee!!
