Jheff's Guide
WHAT IT IS:
Instantly viewable/downloadable video, 28 min.
HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE AD COPY IS:
The ad copy doesn’t explain anything at all except that these are routines that build on ideas of others, which basically describes most mentalism routines. There are three routines, which can be done as a set or individually. All of these routines deal with double-blank cards with words written on them.
The first routine deals with an Annemann idea, though I’m sure it goes back further than that. It uses a very simple and very familiar principle. The second, inspired by Robert Nelson, uses another very simple idea. The third routine, a “You Do as I Do” plot, is based on one that was shown to Peter by Laura London. He could provide no crediting for this, though.
SET-UP AND RE-SET:
There is a one-time prep of writing words on two decks of cards. There is no set order for these cards so there is no re-set necessary, though the first phase may require a small card adjustment to re-set.
WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED THAT YOU NEED OR NEED TO KNOW:
You will need to obtain double-blank cards. These are easily available from Amazon or your favorite dealer.
SUITABLE VENUES:
Close-up, Parlor, Walkaround
JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
Though the ad copy doesn’t specify the contents of this video, Peter tackles three classic effects that are designed for the beginning mentalist to use to hone their craft. However, Peter’s takes on these classics also make it worth getting for the more experienced mentalist.
