Of course, you've heard of Luke Jermay. He is arguably the most influential mentalist of the modern era, having published over 30 books and manuscripts, released a bunch of DVDs, and consulted for major TV shows, as well as created his own very successful live stage shows. He devises some of the most groundbreaking mind-reading material available and he conveys the illusion of real mind-reading better than just about anyone.

In this Penguin Live lecture, he begins with nothing but a deck of cards and no matter who thinks of a card, he knows what it is with uncanny accuracy.

Next, he has one person write a name with which he has some emotional connection and others write the names of celebrities. Then, as Luke is zero-ing in on the emotionally charged name, he reveals other information about the person who wrote it...information he should have no way of knowing...like his birthday, his father's name, and finally the name he has written on the card.

Then, he has three other guys join him on stage and each one thinks about some unique information. Luke begins to reveal who is thinking about what and even gets very specific by revealing exactly what each one is thinking.

He also has a clever prediction that reveals at what number certain cards will appear, but I must admit that my meager descriptions don't suffice. Honestly, I can't rave nearly enough about Luke Jermay. Watching him makes me want to be that good. His mentalism feels real and is thoroughly enjoyable.

And in this lecture, he teaches many of the reasons why as he talks about the composition of routines, incorporating narratives, and being an agent of awe.

So, you simply have to tune in here to see why top pros seek his advice as we welcome the incomparable Luke Jermay right here, to Penguin Live.

I very much enjoyed this lecture. I found it just the right balance of theory and practice, and the format was just about as perfect as it could be to teach this material.

Luke demonstrated two very strong pieces, then when on to explain each, their components, history, and variations, In fact, anything I could think of asking was answered, and the detail given ensured that everyone present understood.

After the demonstration and explanation of the first two pieces, Luke entered into the theory aspect of his lecture. I really enjoyed this section, and will have to go back and review it when the download is available. Not only did he discuss the core principles used in the first two routines, he discussed his views of magic and mentalist, entertainment, structuring your performance, why he strays from conventional thought on openers, and much, much more. His thoughts on cold reading, claimers and disclaimers, and a host of other things. In short, we learned a bit of how he thinks.

At right about the two hour point, Luke entered the second performance phase. I’m not exactly sure how many routines were demonstrated and taught in this section as multiple variations were also explored. These were very strong pieces, and based on principles taught in the first section and elaborated on in the second (theory) section. Had the lecture not been structured the way it was, many of the key and core principles may have not been understood or not truly understood.

In addition to very cool routines, and what could be a complete 1 hour show, we were all provided with key concepts and building blocks to expand upon and build our own material with.

To conclude the lecture was a very candid an open conversation between Dan and Luke. I know that this helped me understand Luke a lot more, where he has been, and some of what he has gone through. We also got a glimpse and where is going to.

I highly recommend this lecture to anyone interested in strong, personal mentalism and mind reading.

Amazing! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 26th, 2015
I'd like to start off this review by saying that I've been a big fan of Luke Jermay for quite a long time and I watch him perform and teach whenever I get the opportunity (unfortunately, I've yet to see him in person). This lecture exceeded all of my expectations!

Luke not only covers some amazing effects, like his version of the TOD and Connection, among others, but also offers insight into the theory of structuring a show and finding inspiration in the magicians/mentalists of the past and present.

I can already guess that some reviewers may complain that "there weren't enough tricks" in this lecture, and I have to say that those potential reviewers have missed the point entirely! Luke has shared enough material for you to go out and, not only perform an entire stage show, but to do it in your own voice.

In conclusion, I would highly recommend this purchase to everyone. The amount of information you get for $29.95 (or $24.95 for pre-orders!) is unbelievable.

I want that deck! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 2nd, 2015
Luke needs to find a manufacturing partner to sell the deck he uses in the first routine. It would sell like hotcakes. I've been a fan of Luke's work for as long as I can remember. My first exposure to him was in one of Kenton Knepper's manuscripts. I think it might have been Miracles of Suggestion. (Side note... that manuscript has one of the most clever and bold Headline Predictions ever. David Hoy and Dunninger would be proud.)

If I was forced to be critical of this lecture, it would be sleight (misspelled on purpose). It's actually not a criticism of the lecture content, but more of a note for what I think Luke could improve upon. When he is storytelling and engaging with earnestness, that comes through in spades (another magic reference, can't help it). When he is in that mode, I hang on to every word he speaks. But there were quite a few times where he made quips and jabs at his participates. Obviously he was going for humor with those, but they didn't fly for me, and they didn't seem to fly for the live audience either. It's just a delivery thing. A slight pause and smirk can do wonders to quell the audience's tension of "he just made fun of that guy, that was funny, but maybe I feel badly for that guy who just got made fun of, but how did he take it, I hope he's not upset, but that was funny, should I laugh?"

Derren Brown does similar quips with his audience a lot, but in his case they land with laughter. In Luke's case here, they just felt a little bit mean, even though that clearly wasn't his intention.

Anyway, that's a very hyper-critical analysis of one small issue. Long story short, if you are at all interested in mentalism, do yourself a favor and purchase this lecture.

Captivating Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 2nd, 2015
This was a well thought out, highly informative mentalism lecture that invited you into the depths of Jermay's mind. It was oriented around some of Jermay's best work and it flows from effects to theory, really focusing on presentational style and playing with dual reality. Jermay was genuine and generous and I haven't seen this level of sincerity since Peter Turner's lecture. A real pleasure to watch, highly recommended!

Brutally pro Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 30th, 2015
I have never been a great fan of Luke's commercialized products. Actually, if you check, very few of them have 5-starts average popular rating.
But the lecture…it is simply the demonstration of how a true pro should always be. It is not only about the effects. It is, above all, his stance on stage and how deeply thought his act is. If you want to see a great professional in mentalism, this is it.
You may like mentalism or not, you may like his approach to mentalism or not, it may fit your needs or not, but this is definitely the top penguin lecture in terms of professionality imho.
Congratulations Penguin and Luke Jermay.

Solid Gold! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 28th, 2015
This lecture is solid gold! Not only the effects are amazing, there is great theory behind the effects and the methods are practical and deceptive.
I know that many performers are very interested in learning new effects but the true value of this lecture is the advice Luke gives in putting together a show, performing it and overall becoming a better performer.
There is nothing else I need to say. This will make you a better performer.

One of the most valuable lectures you'll ever see. Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 3rd, 2015
I follow Luke's work for a long time. This "new" Luke is really refreshing and even more inspiring. In this lecture you'll not learn great material, you'll also have a thoughtful, deep and provocative lecture. This is the real thing. Not only a lecture about mentalism and performance but also a lecture about life. See it asap.

Incredible Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 2nd, 2015
I have seen every lecture for the last 8 months and this is without question one of the best. It was brilliant in terms of the choices that he made and in terms of the choices that he encouraged the listeners to make.
One of the few lectures that I will watch again and again.
His thank you at the end was so heartfelt and sincere that it touched me deeply.

Excellent! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 2nd, 2015
This lecture was one of the best lectures Penguin has had.
Although most of what Luke did, did not fool me, his presentation and insights were outstanding.

I wish more were like this.

Inspiring at the highest level Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 29th, 2015
Luke is still a voice to hear in Mentalism. His ideas and insightful thoughts at times gave me literal shivers and made me realize how passion, time and hard work is in everything that he does.

In terms of effects, he teaches a great TOD routine with a deck that allows several opportunities. His "living and death" test is beautifully constructed and his complete dissertation of his "Touching on Hoy" including several variations is just a small piece of light of his truly genius mind.

My favorite section was the theory talk related to performance, understanding your character, the magic that you are doing and much more.

Thanks Luke for your efforts, all the best in your work and life.
