hi

I´m not really into Mentalism, I only know Stigmata and some cold reading stuff, but "Tagged" looks really cool.. anyone purchased this from ellusionists? any comments on skill level, performance and reactions?

thanx!

Hi mandrake,

This is a different version of tagged, i cant believe thay have released two effects of the same name at the same time.

Tagged by rich ferguson,

I do not own this have not performed this so can not give the best feedback, but i know how this works and i think it could be very good indeed, its prob the best version of any word on spectators arm out there due to the fact that it is so versatile.


This can be a long word or short, there is also i indepth explanation for performing the book test method, but a simple playing card force would cut things down for more of a walkaround performance.

I may actually use this at some stage, and that is saying something as i dont put many new effects in my show (especially from Ellusionist)

Rich Ferguson has always had some good stuff out there.

This is worth checking out i can see alot of people using this.

Neither can I, apologies all round, I guess we need to be very sure which one we're talking about! (Also not to be confused with 'TAG' by Chastain Criswell )

So! I couldn´t resist and bought the DVD.. alone to get my phonenumber on chics is worth the money hehe


The gimmick is obvious, as usual in Europe, I had to search the entire Web for a decent supplier for the gimmicks requirements.
But to build it is very easy.

Problem nr.1 (not with the trick though)
Its freezing cold in Germany right now! so doing this trick on the street is almost imposible due to several layers of Jackets and coats people use to wear, and even indoors people mostly have sweatshirts on or whatever, there are of course ways to get them to roll up their sleeve but I think it would be better if they don´t have to.

Another requirement for this is "Balls" you have to look the person straight in the eye when doing this, do not flinch, and of course at some point get actually the word on their arm without them feeling it.

So its a very powefull effect but it has to be practiced A LOT to get it just right, like learning a script but still be able to improvise if things go wrong, and I think the first couple of times they will.

I´ll post the reactions I get when i get to perform this on others than my roommates

I purchased the download for this the day it came out and I admit it does take balls to do, but I practiced it since I got it and just performed it fir thebfirst time and it was amazing

My advice if you do it is use the miscall force as it works easiest. Also I tagged my spectator at the stArt of my routine and let it sit till my closer and they were blown away. It was pure gold
