JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
This is an incredible collection of material designed to up your game as a mentalist. Though I’m a contributor and a member of the faculty of the Mind Gems Brain Trust, I hope that you can trust that I can be objective enough to say that, without my contributions, this would be one of the best and most important purchases of the year, especially if you’re one who can use this advice.
