Good work Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 23rd, 2015
Got this! I'm not a regular performer, but decided to put this into action, for my family, and friends, as well as some publicity online!
Excellent idea, but I decided that the hundred monkeys principle was not required, so just plumped for real predictions, according to Chris' excellent observations and advice! A little courage goes a long way!
And boom! Six for six!
Hope others tried this with as much success...!

It worked great at my Oscar party! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 7th, 2015
Wonderful! If you could really predict the Oscars, it would look exactly like this! An ingenious use of a principle that’s blown people away on TV and stages around the world (the gimmicking is totally invisible and reliable if you follow the instructions). But that isn’t the whole method: as Chris says in the promo video, part of the method draws from a quirk of this year’s Oscars and it may not work again for 20 years. I hope he’s predicted incorrectly on that one. I want to do this again at the next Oscar night (or election, or Superbowl…) This is a just fantastic and a great value for the money.

Oscar Predictions - nailed it! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 27th, 2015
Chris

We nailed it! I can't tell you what a thrill it was to perform your Oscar 2015 Predictions for my family during tonight's award show. As magicians, it is rare that we can give our family members an experience of real mystery. They are too jaded, having seen one too many card trick. Even if they don't know exactly how you did something, they will deduce that there is some trickery at play. Watching my two teenagers’ reactions to me hitting “6 out of 6” perfect predictions was awesome.... They were clearly mystified and felt that they had witnessed the real thing!

I say this not because I relish pulling one over on my teenagers who have seen it all, but performing this effect was a very interesting experience for me and will inevitably influence the way that I think about my own magic. A few things that I take away from this experience are:

- It was a cool feeling of camaraderie to know that as I was unraveling this mystery, my fellow magicians were doing the same. It is unusual for a magic experience to take place simultaneously for multiple audiences around the world, without live feed or simulcast.

- The real time nature of the effect added a jazz element which reminded me so much about what I love about Second City style improv comedy. There is a real performance thrill to being "in the moment" and creating those magic moments when an improv piece really gels... This does not happen every time but when it does, is sheer magic for both the performers and audience.

- Another unusual aspect of this piece is that it took 4 hours to perform...This is a rarity and while I would not suggest that this become a norm, it helped to elevate this from a magic/mentalism trick to an Experience... something that is not only memorable to have witnessed but also something that will hopefully live on the minds of your audience for a long time. And, in the event that this slips into someone's subconscious, the memory and experience will be re-awakened next year and every year thereafter that they turn on the Oscars.

- The unscripted and low key nature of the performance meant that I could just relax and go with the flow of the event. This laid back style is part of what made the method so disarming. Because nothing was seemingly happening other than my spectators opening envelopes, the heat was totally off me, the performer. This makes me think that a laid back, hands-off approach can be a powerful weapon for other magical effects, where it is organic to the performance setting.

Thanks for sharing......The direct, super-clean and diabolical method is nothing short of brilliant! I also appreciated your thinking regarding living with less than 100% certainty and how this allows you to present such a clean and confounding effect. The effort to eliminate the last percentage points of risk of failure, are not worth the price that you have to pay. It had never really thought about this before and I think it is liberating and opens up many more magical possibilities.

I did not see your Penguin Live lecture so I am curious to know how effect went over with fellow magicians...I am guessing that many were fooled.

Now what!? Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 23rd, 2015
When I purchased this, I thought that it would be something that I could perform in the future. However, there was zero discussion about whether there was any use for this after the Oscar show.

This could have been designed to be more flexible toward the future. Perhaps incorporating a method to allow the performer to create their own custom cards, or an additional set of cards that could be used in a routine that re-creates the Oscars, perhaps an "Oscars of the ages".

Just be warned, if you purchase this, you are probably not going to be using this ever again.

Good effect for this years Oscars Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 22nd, 2015
I downloaded this not to use it for the Oscars, but based on what one reviewer said about being able to use this principle for other events such as the Super bowl which would be a less impressive perdition then predicting the Oscars, but would be more of a sure thing at 50/50 odds you can’t lose and don’t need any of the outs. Except maybe knowing what a cretin ambiance of the room is, but that is an easy out. I just would like to know how to make these cards up for other events or situations, so we all can use it for other things other than just predicting the Oscars (This year) I like the principle and see a lot of potential with it except it does have its limitations. For example I can’t explain why because I would expose the secret, but it won’t work for all situations for example it would not have worked for THIS YEARS Super Bowl between the Seahawks and Patriots. You will have to download it to see why, that being said it’s a great principle just not real world practical. This download has everything you need in the PDF file to use it for the Oscars tonight, but unless you know how to prepare the cards for what you want to use it on it has no other use than this year’s Oscars. I would have really liked to have seen how I can prepare this for other things, had he gone into some detail on that I would have given it 5 stars. However if you’re at an Oscar party or something like that tonight and you do this, you WILL BLOW EVERYONE away and if you think that’s worth $10.00 then you will want to download this.

Wow! Cool idea! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 21st, 2015
I was not aware that Chris had a trick similar to this done on America's Got Talent. Do you remember where the magician read a name off a card, then the card was shown to the audience, and it was different than the read version? Whats really cool about this is, there are no switches!(For this trick, for the Oscar trick, there is an out, just in case.) No sleights! Uses a cool technique that I was not aware of. The cards are included in a zip file for the Oscar trick, so all you have to do is print, and you are ready to go. I will tell you that this is a pretty sure thing, however, there are some "outs" given... just in case! I haven't done the trick yet, just watched the video and looked at the files. I think this will be fun at our Oscar night gathering. But, I also see me using this as an MC Bit in the future.

Very ingenious trick Report this review

I really don't understand why some reviews are so bad. I think that this is just fantastic idea and I can see other uses than Osrcar 2015. It needs some thinking and can be used in stage routines if you just think about it.
