This video has so many great ideas and subtleties. Some genius applications of the Dunninger Ploy.
And the best version of 'any card at any number' I've ever seen. It's so brilliant and simple. Some
excellent thoughts on equivoque. Well worth the money.

Colin runs thru his routines with first, an intro, the actual live taped routine and then an
explanation. He uses a friend, Mark, who does a nice reparte with Colin, challenges him at times
during the explanantion.
Colin is honest and sincere and describes WHAT WORKS FOR HIM.....and most everthing he does can pack into a briefcase for a 60 min show. Great ideas and intellect! Did this review help you?

I've seldom gotten so many effects for one price, let alone such a low price.
Many may not suit your particular style, but due to the laborious deconstruction of every effect you gain an insight into the cogs and wheels of them and could if you wanted construct entirely new effects. One of the best deals around if you want to start mind reading. Did this review help you?

Ignore the reviewer who gives this a low rating. This is one of the best purchases out there for
mentalism, by far. The value here far exceeds the cost.
What you are provided is a variety of solid mentalism effects that Colin has used in his own performances. I count 15 total effects (9 stage and 6 close-up), and each one is discussed at length, with numerous subtleties, and Colin performs it live as well (and then discusses what went right and wrong about the audience portion). The cost for 4 DVDs here is a bargain. Of the 9 stage effects, 6 for me were things I would have paid three times the cost of the DVDs for. They are things that I will work into my routine, and the reaction from these is amazing. Colin offers one of the best ungimmicked book test effects I have ever seen -- possibly the very best. This is material for workers, not something to show your friends. They employ classic principles in mentalism, in some cases, but brought up to date and routined for impact. If you have been looking for some material for strolling and close-up, a couple of the close-up effects are equally as strong (though a few aren't). Part of the difficulty in assigning a rating is that the effects presented are not all equally as strong. Which is true of every DVD and book I have ever purchased. I guess the other reviewer got fixated on an effect he didn't like. The good news is that some of these are absolutely brilliant, and worth the entire price of the DVDs. You will get several effects from this that will go right into a working parlour/stage performance. Did this review help you?

Colin McLed "Opening minds" is the best mentalism DVD set I have ever purchased. He goes beyond the
procedures and mechanical of the routines. His routines are well thought out and he builds layers
into his presentations. His routines are not like Max Maven, Banacheck, Osterlind which are
practically build upon the approach of "just follow the steps 1, 2, 3, etc. and you'll be ok." In
the end, what you learn form Max, Banachek or Osterlind are "mentalism tricks" but what you would
learn from Colin McLeod are "mentalism tricks in-depth."

I did not see any penguin reviews so I looked elsewhere on the internet and found a positive review
and I decided to make the purchase.
This is a great value. There is a lot of very usable routines and principles taught. I took off 1 star because one of the trick demos was missing. I must have 4 or 5 Mentalism DVDs and this is by far the best. Any of the 4 Dvds justifies the price. highly recommended, Did this review help you?

The Opening Minds DVDs worked on my old non-widescreen TV.
Though these were shot with widescreen in mind, the menus are toward the center so they can be accessible on an older screen. I enjoyed the DVDs very much and learned a lot. Especially loved the close-up one on one mentalism. Did this review help you?
Excellent mentalism, well taught

There is some seriously strong magic and mentalism on these 4 DVDs. Colin and his mate are
entertaining company, talking through every routine in great detail, from the origin and thinking
through to the execution.
Special mention goes to Quite Wordy, with a ballsy approach to the Book Test (I am still mustering the courage to perform it!), as well as seriously devious methods behind Lottery and Winning Numbers. All in all, very good value. Did this review help you?
