I don't see myself performing this but I'm sure some people will like the impromptu and quick nature
of the routine.
I feel $35 is a bit overpriced because the method can be explained in just
a sentence. Or you could understand it yourself if you saw a full uncut performance. It's also kind
of angle sensitive.

I use Banachek's PK touch in some of my shows and it never ceases to amaze folks. It's very subtle
and hard to catch when done correctly. D'Angelo's Touch is not your standard PK touch in that most
routines are built around the fact that folks never notice what your hands are doing. In D'Angelo's
version, your hands are constantly flying around the person like an angry insect so even if they
don't catch the moment you touched the spectator, they know you did something. I showed the video of
his performance to my wife (who didn't know how the original PK touch routine actually worked) and
she immediately pointed out each time he touched the spectator. If a non-magician can spot something
that quickly, I won't consider it.
In the right situation with the right performer, I guess
this would work. I wouldn't make this your go-to routine if you were going to create a larger stage
show though unless your character is fidgety and manic already. This is more for an impromptu, on
the street performance.

If you are wondering about purchasing this effect I highly recommend that you get it now. I love
this version of Pk touches because it is very smooth and looks absolutely impossible(after
practicing of course). I’m so happy I got this! Your spectators will be completely stumped and
everyone watcing will be very entertained.

I think this is the best touch ever
Now I use it in every show of mine and the best thing is I
always have the power with me
Important: As soon as I saw the performance I believed that the
method only worked with tall people but I was wrong. I am not so tall but it works very good!

This so different than the other touch routines, I have maybe 7 routines and they all use dual
reality, or they are mechanical (thread or a thumper of some sort).
This is NOT mechanical
and it DOES NOT use duality, the touches are in real-time. This by itself dissuaded me initially,
but after I saw his performance videos I was sold.
This is a bit gutsy, but with
confidence, it should be easy.
Do not read the book first, watch the videos. After viewing
the videos the book will make a lot more sense. Honestly, I read the book first, and the explanation
(which was clear) made me think it would be easily revealed. It is not.
This is something
you can easily do in walk around and stage. Even in a restaurant (if you have enough room). When
D'Angelo does it it is amazing.
This can be combined with other routines - but why?
2 Cons.
The video is not in the Penguin downloads (WHY????)
The link to the videos
took me some time to find. It is at the bottem of the copyright page.

I love this! One of the purchases of the year for me. Very well done for creating such a visual and
jaw dropping routine.

The videos and PDF are excellent and the method is very clever and bold.
Also it's the only
method to my knowledge which allows around 6-10 touches in real time.
But it's not for
everyone. I like performing PK touch routines slowly because it's an eerie effect - you felt a touch
without being touched. I think the frantic presentation takes away the eerie factor and just makes
it look like a puzzle.

This for 35$ Is GEM!!!! I mean it. First of all if you are wondering if it is juat a booklet, no.
You DO get video instructions which are fantastic and I believe about 5-6 Love performances are
shown for you to have an idea of how it should look like! Even after seeing the live performances, I
COULD NOT even guess the method. The method is just Genius! Now, is it simple? No. You will need to
practice it a lot and make it seemingly impossible to backtrack or see any moves. If you perform as
good as the trailer after practice, there is absolutely no way anyone will have even a slightest
guess. I do recommend you really practice and don’t just write dumb reviews just because you feel a
fear or are new to mentalism. Mentalism is for serious seekers and this is absolutely wonderful for
the people who will try for perfection. I don’t think its that difficult. I think even beginners can
get this to work after trying and practicing 15-20 times or so. The booklet provides additional
presentation details which are Gold as well. Tge touches are absolutely real time and they “really
feel the touches”. There are absolutely NO gimmicks whatsoever and it can be done anywhere and
anytime. Can be performed surrounded as you develop finesse. The real mive is very easy but you need
to work on the theatrical effects and study the booklet and watch videos (first) to gain deeper
understanding.
Cons: I don’t think thrre are many. Just for new people, you need to have a
movement and it should be smooth. That will comeeith practice. There is also a bonus where you can
(with invisible power🤗)lift the hand of a spectator slowly

This is something that will BLOW PEOPLE'S MIND AWAY! I saw Rafael's performance live and everybody
was speechless! It's my Everytime and Everywhere effect! I performed it at the Beach wearing only
the swimsuit , and you can't imagine the reactions of those watching the performance.
If it had
cost 150 $ I would have bought it anyway!

I got this on another website (a danish one for quicker and cheaper delivery), but I need to spread
my joy for this effect where ever I can.
I know I said "one of my favorite PK touches", but
there really aren't that many to chose from, other than Banachek's, since they are either really
expensive or a closely kept secret.
This one, hovewer. 35 dollars is a good price for this.
Unlike some tricks where you basically pay for the name, this is a good price for what you are
getting.
The touch is COMPLETELY invisible (people can record you doing it, and no one
would see anything weird) and looks extremely convincing. Everyting anybody sees is just you
pointing at someone, and they feel you touching them.
It's not really that difficult. I see
some people saying you would have to practice 15 to 20 times just to get it right, but I did it the
same day I learned it, and, while it could have looked smoother, it was extremely convincing. You
would have to practice to make it look REALLY smooth.
The advantages this has over
Banachek's PK touch is that it's real time (the spectator will raise their arm the moment you are
pointing at them) and it's more impromtu. Banachek's PK are impromtu, but it's best for stage or
other, more relaxed settings. Not something you could quickly show to a spectator on the street.
D'Angelo's touch, however, can be used both on stage and as a quick demonstration of your
psychic powers on the street.
I DEFNITELY recommend this.
