Due to the fact that even though the teasers are not really that great, we know Luke Jermay is joining T11 for an effect. So i've been a big fan and bought most of Luke's stuff so i thought i would review some of them. Starting with one of the most popular one, emotional intelligence.
What they say:
Jermay's room-shattering THREE PHASE mind reading routine. Entertaining a room full of people has never been this easy! Completely impromptu. Can be done on business cards.
What I say:
This is a really good effect and have performed it a couple of times, and when i did, i got pretty good reactions.
Performence:
Ok. So i saw the trailer and was really interested in what Luke had to offer. The performence is as follows. You have 8 cards (blank) that have diferent topics on them. You ask someone to pick one and you read their mind of what one they did pick. Thats the first phase. The second is you cause a second person to read the spectators mind. and the third you go into more detail of what those things of the topic are (picking different cards for each phase).
Method of 1st phase:
I really like this and anybody can do this whether you suck with cards or not anyone can do this it is so easy. so props for that
.
Method of 2nd phase:
This one you will be a little disapointed on but try it because it will work. it is not 100% but Luke gives you GREAT outs so you have no excuse at all. Just try it because it works about 80% of the time.
Method of 3rd phase:
My favorite, but this is just basically a version of the classic plot. im not going to tell what the plot is because i dont want to give the method away. But if you know a little about metalism, you will know how to do this effect right away. Very easy though.
Angles:
You can perform from all angles so yeah 5/5.
Difficulty:
Easy as anything really. One of the easiest effects to do 1/5 (low being easy)
Teaching:
Teaching is great and i have to complaints about that 5/5.
Overall:
I really like this effect and is very easy. So try it out and you won't be disapointed. The only thing you have to know is that you have to have a GOOD presentation (as with any other effect though) or else it won't look that good. But dont let that stop you. If you like Metalism, have Buisness cards, and carry Index cards or something, or even if you carry these cards with you, you will love this so check it out (a little overpriced i think but hell, isn't all magic now a days). I give the effect a solid 4/5. check it out.
PS
if you want me to do any reviews on any other Luke jermay things, let me know and i'll do it.
warm regards
