CONTENTS :
Two Out of Three Will - A few games of Which Hand turn into an impossible display of subliminal influence.
Copperhead - A participant is able to guess the coin held in your fist, even whether it shows heads or tails! A perfect impromptu ice breaker.
Multiplex - A double drawing duplication using nothing but an unprepared stack of business card, a pen and a devious subtlety that’ll go straight into your toolkit. This is a real close up killer!
Principia - This is a reputation maker. Two thoughts are written and mixed up. A participant destroys one and isolates one. You go NOWHERE NEAR either card, and still you read two minds in the cleanest manner imaginable.
Rogue - A participant hypnotised and temporarily given the power of a photographic memory. After looking at the faces of a shuffled deck for only a moment, they become able to flawlessly find cards face down again and again and again!
Telegram - You genuinely close your eyes. A participant thinks of a card, shuffles a deck and hands it to you. Not only are you able to stop at the card they are thinking of, you can name it as well!
Meridian - On a single business card, you write a prediction, and a participant makes a series of genuinely free and secret choices of different ESP symbols. Every single time, the prediction perfectly matches the choices made.
Espair - You attempt to influence a participant’s thoughts through a series of 50/50 choices, and even if they feel like they’re able to resist, you prove that you knew exactly what they would do from the very beginning! A weird little miracle.
Review:
I’d heard about Simon’s material and read some of it before so I purchased this. I love what is contained within this book. It’s currently a pdf, spanning 59 pages.

There’s a very clever application of the free will plot that is simplistic in nature and not over complicated for spectators to follow; Combining which hand with the free will plot to create an ideal opener for a group (or even one on one) setting. Great for table/group hopping Mentalism performances.
Copperhead has to be my favourite of all of the effect - simon teaches a ‘bold’ way to do this, and a surefire way that still looks just as clean. I love this one.

Principia is another one that had me grinning - another method that I quite simply love. Simon states that some may not like the application of the method in the classic Name and Place routine, however there is none of the regular spiel that occurs in the Name and Place. I’d say this certainly has its place as an adaptation to use within the premise. The performer never touches the billets after the information is written - that can only be a plus. I will definitely be using this in my work.

Overall, I would say that this book is very well thought out and the effects are all evidently tried and tested (by the level of detail In them. Several very nice ideas are contained within, and I will certainly be getting use out of them.
