Right Now! by Nefesch
What they say:
Hey guys
Just letting you know
that I am finishing a new manuscript, which will be available in a PDF format, and ONLY available thru me, It will be ready and available NEXT WEEK.
The manuscript name is: RIGHT NOW, and includes three MENTALISM effects, that you can do any time anywhere to convince people that you CAN REALLY READ THEIR MINDS, this are effects that you can preform anytime someone asks you: "READ MY MIND RIGHT NOW"(which I don't know to you, but to me it happens very often):
This are the effects included
1) HOT (stands for Heads or Tails)
This is a three steps routine, in which you ask your spectator for a coin (any coin)
you ask them to flip it in the air and to cath it in their hands, without letting you see it. You ask them to take a look at the coin, to find out if it is face or tails up, you NEVER see the coin and yet you are able to know if it is heads or tails.
IT IS THEIR COIN, IT IS THEM WHO THROW IT IN THE AIR, and it is THEM WHO CATCH IT, it all happens in their hands, and yet you are able to tell ACCURATELY what it is (heads or tails), and if you are thinking that somehow you "track" the flipping of the coin, NOT that is NOT the method (you can do this even looking away from your spectator, to prove you are not glimpsing anything), it is something TRULY PRACTICAL, and easy to do.
2) BUBBLES:
A borrowed glass, and a borrowed beverage (gass beverage, like coke, pepsi, etc)
You ask your spectator to think of the name of a person, a card, an object or whatever, you ask them to pour the coke in the glass and to see the bubbles that the gas place in the inner side of the glass, so far NOTHING, now you give them a spoon (borrowed if desired) you ask them to mix the coke using the spoon, the bubbles move of course, and now they are shaping the initial letter of whatever they were thinking of.
all objects can be borrowed, and it is almost impromptu, I would love to say it is impromptu, but NO it is not, for it requires a 2 seconds set up (yes just two seconds)
3) THE PURE THING:
You are your spectator to BARELY think of a card, now listen to this:
He thinks of a card, you NEVER ask him to say the card outloud, you NEVER ask him to write it anywhere, NO PEAKS, no stooges, no nothing, 100% IMPROMPTU.
I know it sounds IMPOSSIBLE, and YES IT IS. But I am being 100% honest is, this is a technique I am ussing ALL THE TIME.
In which you ask a person: THINK OF A CARD, any card, and yet you are able to reveal it PERFECTLY.
YOU do not suggest a card, it is a totally FREE selection, NO PSYCHOLOGICAL FORCES AT ALL.
This technique is so great that I could write an ENTIRE book about it later to include different routines, and applications for it.
100% practical, and requires nothing more that your mind and your spectator's mind.
YOU DO NOT NEED A DECK OF CARDS to perform this.

Difficulty
HOT: 1-3 (sleights involved can be mastered with just a little practice even by me
) ,
Bubbles : 2 ,
Pure Thing: Depends on the performer, pure mentalism is involved and I'm honestly not that experienced to judge
Review:
I really wanted to purchase this as I have a great opinion for Nefesch, which was enhanced after his performances in the "Next Uri Geller Show" here in Greece. I also had the pleasure of chatting with him recently and he is really a great bloke ! And at that price it is a steal even to satisfy your curiosity
I received my (personalized) copy a few hours after i placed my order and I'm very very pleased (and for that price it's indeed a steal). I'm not that experienced as I do mostly card tricks for family and friends, so the majority here was new to me and I'm happy I learned them !
Regarding the routines now. My opinion after a quick read here at work (yes I should be working but it's Friday and if you are a software engineer you just have to stand in front of the monitor and everybody assumes you are working
)
HOT: 3 phases each involving a different method (all of them can be mastered perfect from anyone with a little practice I think). I'm sure that I will use this a lot. For one of the phases you must use an everyday use object that most carry or if not it's quite easy to carry around and you can find it everywhere. For the other two phases you just need the coin (obviously
). Great one !
Bubbles: Cunning Very easy to do, set up needs indeed 2 seconds, very visual (just tried this here at work on my lunch break ) , great trick to do at a bar,restaurant,etc when your friends ask you for a trick. Another one that I will perform quite often.
Pure Thing: The idea is great, I just started reading about mentalism the past months and I can see this being of great value. Once the technique is mastered I think that at the right hands it will be a great "weapon". I'm very curious to try it when I return at home and my lab rat (sorry my wife I mean
)
Overall:
Thanks Nefesch for publishing this at an amazing price ! Each effect could be sold individually for this price and it would still be a bargain !
As for scoring this I don't have a reference on how to score something like that, they only thing I can say is that the Value for Money scoring would be a 10.
