So, I have a small mentalism routine that I've themed around the idea of "Thoughts". I'm still stuck as to whether or not I should present it as "I'm reading, manipulating, destroying and changing your thoughts" (etc....), or to go with OwnerM's idea and tell the audience it was a lie. Staying...

Hey guys, I was wondering, how do you present your mentalism acts? Do you say that you have special powers, that it's magic, or Do you say you use techniques like reading body language, psychological suggestion etc. - even if you don't, or Do you say it's all sleight of hand and...

I didn't like it. I watched the preview, thought out a method in my mind, hoped I was incorrect, bought it, found out I was right. Not too keen on the method really. Albeit, if you like the effect you see, go ahead - get it. But I'm just not keen on the... awkwardness of the method. I prefer to...

Which makes me the 3rd. Can't stand the look of the Propaganda deck. Sorry. Looks horrible. -Sam H

Really? Theory11 and PenguinMagic are both online magic retailers, which means there is a huge element of competition, just like in any form of sales - Royal Mail vs Parcelforce, MacDonalds vs Burger King, etc. etc. They're always going to be trying to make more money than the other, hence...

Oz Pearlman seems very tied to Penguin, I highly, highly doubt it. It'd be like Jonathan Bayme making a downloadable video tutorial with them. -Sam H

Haha, hell yeah :p -Sam H

Gah. A deck of cards? Sorry, I'm hugely disappointed. Seriously. 1) The prize for finding the last page of the hunt slippped dramatically. 2) Far too much hype for a deck... =/ 3) I'm not too keen on the design either, I completely agree with Toby, they look a little kiddy don't you think...

I was about to say the exact same thing. If your spectators are catching onto your doubles, it's your fault, your doubles aren't good enough. Sorry, but it's the truth. -Sam H

Enlisted. Gah. -Sam H

I was just about to say that XD Haha, that made me laugh. -Sam H

I love my marked deck (Daniel Madison : Blood), for one simple reason. Presentation. All I do with mine is ask them to pick a card, obtain the identity of it - easy as pie - and then play it up. I roughly take 5-6 minutes of just revealing their selection. I ask them if they are left handed...

I'm going to be real critical here (I'm a bit of a graphic guy too, 4 years of photoshop experience)... - There's no focal point. In a good picture, you need the eye to go somewhere. This doesn't have that. - Colours are all over the place, there's not really a colour scheme, more randomly...

Yes, I've seen the second video. It is without a doubt, that person. I don't wanna say anything but there's one extra tell-tale sign. Found the next clue. Too bad I suck at b****y. -Sam H

It is? Oh. I was always under the impression it was Daryl's - it's him I learnt it from. -Sam H

I do quite agree, it's a great trick for hecklers and those wanting a kick in the teeth alike. I've had great times performing this one, when every spectator thinks a mistake is imminent, and you turn around and do the one thing they're least expecting - which makes it at least one hundred...

Probably the only answer that genuinely made sense to me. Exactly the same thing I'd do. Or, if I was eager to impress, a simple force and reveal. -Sam H

I live in England, and I; Play an hour and a half of Rugby every Wednesday (an extra hour and a half on a Saturday if there's a match on - every fortnight, I'd say) I play six hours of tennis a week (I should really get back into that... it used to be 20+ hours :() And I'll work out for an...

Thanks very much for all your help guys, it's really appreciated. I think I've got a routine now though - I added Jay Sankey's Memory Lapse. It's just the patter I'm working on now. I also thought it'd be appropriate to add the message I sent to toyrobot concerning this; Just highlighting...
