yawn.. sorry... what happened at the end , I fell asleep..

Do you have to turn the paper over so suspiciously when you perform it?

Not really worthy of a one trick buy, is it?! MK, you say "there's more going on than you think..." - hmmm, well, if there is, than in my opinion it's doubly silly, given that the "extra sneakiness" you suggest certainly doesn't take the effect beyond what's perfectly achievable with the O.A.P.

And much as I dislike over-hyped products, if you are going to demo something, do it well! My particular favourite was:

"So you name any number, between one and twenty."
"Eight."
"Eight? Ok... now I'm going to write the name of a playing card..."(Carefully draws two distinct circles, takes pen away, then thinks "ooh, that might have been a bit obvious" and goes back to do some pretend scribble...)

You don't have to like it .

Yes, but Old Age Pensioners are a pain to carry around in your pockets at a gig...

I nearly brought this before the video was released. Now I am very glad I didn;t. I am ashamed to say I almost fell for the advert claiming that it is something new, as opposed to something old

guess the oldies are the best!

Am I missing something with this...or is it as obvious as the video makes out?

come on now Beard... Its Steve fearson.


The man stopped brining out really new and original ideas years ago.. Now, the stuff he releases tends to relly heavy on tried and tested methods.

Those methods being known to guys like us, who do their home work.

hahaha ive complained to this company,and have just got my money back...

At least Steve was honest in the demo, and delivered what you saw... a very clever revamp of a classic principle in mentalism.

Michael Kras wrote:Review: Being a huge fan of mentalism (I dabble), I was very excited about Mental Epoch. Steve promised a borderline revolutionary use for one of mentalism's most popular principles, and that's exactly what I got. Mental Epoch is a seriously good piece.

its not revolutionary, borderline or no...

I'm seriously tempted to release mine!

i dont mind saying that this would be fine for a beginner to test the waters with...but other than that, nah...

I think the young chaps warning in his review stated you need expirance in the field of mentalism. I think Mr Kras hasn't had much himself.

Iain I take it the effect you are on about is the one you done in the pub on saturday to the foxy young lady.

yeah - though, without the added alcohol or low-level flirting...

i got a kiss on the cheek though! that's enough to keep an old man warm on a cold lonely night...

you know, i believe that the O.H.P is in the ladybird book of magic.

(Ian, I bet my ohp effect would get more than a peck on the cheek )

I think the drink and low level flirting made it work. And I must say its a lot better then Fearson effect.

Ok, so you don't like it.
