Lee Asher left too? Hmm. Not going to speculate on why it is, but I just find it odd that for such a young company that started out with everyone so enthusiastic about it that so many people have left it.

Works for me.

Not trying to be rude, but what reason does anyone have to care if you use their review on your website?

That can't be done FASDIU. I just write it down anywhere available depending on where I am. My hand, spec's hand, napkin, business card, etc. Great effect.

What are some of your favorite Mentalism effects using cards FASDIU (from a shuffled deck in use)? I love using a memorized deck when it comes to mentalism with cards, but sometimes during an effect or performance the deck ends up shuffled. So what do you go to then? Here are some of my...

...when threadwork is done poorly by people who do not know how to handle it, yes. I use thread in every show I do and I perform for very intelligent people. The common reaction I get isn't "It's thread!" it's "How in the world did you do that?"

If he accuses you of using thread and you aren't it doesn't matter either way. Saying "no" changes absolutely nothing about the situation.

Check out Cultural Exchange 1 & 2. Great magic, and it's all designed for the exact environment you're performing in--loud music where your patter can't be heard. In fact, on the DVDs, whenever Apollo or Shoot are performing you hear nothing but music--just like they were performing the effects...

Nice. You presented the effect very well. Not sure I'd rush out to try and sell it though. Not a knock against you, but I see so many levitation/PK effects coming out that hail "No threads! No magnets!" and I just don't get it. I use Loops religiously and the effects I perform with them--even...

You're not going to learn NLP from 13 Steps or Practical Mental Magic.

My favorite line of hype on the cards was this one: "Michaelangelo took four years to create the Sistine Chapel masterpiece... these took five." That cracked me up. Red back bikes for life.

Two of the best I've come across are: The CAAN from Mnemonica (page 82). It uses a memorized deck but it's very clean. The whole thing is a mental calculation and a pass. That's it. Spectator names any card and any number and they count out the cards the face up. Barry Richardson's impromptu...

I would cut Through and Through. Not that it's a bad effect, it just doesn't fit. I'd cut either Saw or Thread too. It's going to be hard to tie all those effects together in a way that doesn't feel forced. Doing all five, I think, is just going to undercut the strength of each individual...
