Any body else bought this - so far there's a luke-warm response and an ecstatic one!

I really like the sound of it, but have fallen for such mighty claims before...

Not for the beginner. Needs mucho audience management and will never be a 100% hit rate, but with work you will do miracles. It's only £20 - do you need another one trick DVD or book of card tricks or would you rather buy this and have a totally new principle at your fingertips. The zodiac routine in particular has great potential.

Just purchased.

It's very clever indeed - looking forward to getting stuck into this. Not seen anything like it before.

Ok, this is beginning to sound quite interesting.

TheStoner, you say you've never heard of this principle/method before. So my question is how many mentalism techniques you are familiar with? Sorry if this sounds a bit harsh, but please keep in mind that english is not my first language, and I'm trying my Best to be polite.
The reason I ask is because I've studied a fair amount of Osterlind and B. Richardson, derren Brown. A tiny bit of docc hilford and of course anneman and corinda. Not that I don't know where to find new techniques or material, but if this is a new principle I can't say I'm not interested :D

I like this effect - it's definitely new.

I do mentalism for a living, if that helps.

It's new - it's genius - buy it. Best for the experienced worker not the hobbyist

Yup, just want to add this is definitely for an experienced performer. It's heavy on audience management and presentation. Won't take much for the routine to be wrecked!

Just one last question before my mind is made up. As I mentioned earlier english is not my first language, and therefore my performances is in Danish.

I've seen that the ad states While the method is designed for English, it can work in any language..

But my question is if it's possible to translate the "script/the things needed to be said" wihout any loss of the original effect?

Thanks in advance

Ok, my mind's made up even though I wasn't sure if there would be a problem translating the effect to danish. So I went on and bought it and I'm very glad I did.

There is absolutely no problem with translating this effect to any language you desire. And I'm really looking forward to study this technique which turned out to be a really good buy.

As others have mentioned it does require some presentational skills and audience management to make it work fluently, or else it could easily seem somewhat weird and not that powerful.
