The Coral Fang is Luke Jermay's third collection of material to be published. This manuscript does not concentrate as heavily on the use of suggestion in mentalism as his previous works and featured within these pages are several sure-fire effects as well as a few new twists using suggestion techniques and genuine psychological methodology.

The book features the following effects:

Touching on Hoy:

Which is in my opinion the best thing I (Luke Jermay) have ever come up with. Simple, direct and strong. Three people think of different things. You then reveal what each person is thinking of. No pre show work, no props, no stooges, no kidding!

The Dangerous Opener:

The performer influences a spectator to select the safe bag for him to crush. He slams his hand down on the selected bag revealing under the bag left, an upturned razor sharp knife. A 100% safe version of the modern day classic. No pre show work, no danger, no stooging.

Pre - Show Scripting:

A powerful model to be used for pre show work. It allows the performer to reveal much more during performance with no extra effort.

The Psychic VS Psychological Performance:

An essay that features a model of scripting to allow the performer to involve all types of audiences in his performances. This scripting allows the performer to appeal to both the skeptical members of the audience and the true believes without offending either party. It also means the mentalist has the potential to work within both market places.

Blowing Bubbles:

The performer reads the mind of a spectator who is visibly seen to react the moment the thought leaves their mind. They also confirm the fact that they felt you reach into their mind and remove that very thought.

Phone Prediction:

A novel and entertaining prediction effect with a very different climax. We will let you discover this one for yourself!

PK Lip Stick:

A stunning twist on the modern day classic. Bridging the world of the unreal and the magickal.

Blindfold Sequence:

A member of your audience is blindfolded while another focuses on a number they think of. Amazingly and with no pre show work or stooging the blindfolded spectator accurately reveals the number focused upon. This could be used as much more than numbers.

This is really good stuff. Here's my two cents on each trick:

TOUCHING ON HOY: It's a little risky, but pure "mind candy" if done right.

DANGEROUS OPENER: Finally, a Russian Roulette without risk!

PRE SHOW SCRIPTING: Not really a trick, just some good ways to get more information from the spectator without them noticing.

PSYCHIC VS PSYCOLOGICALl: An awesome essay on how Luke makes sure that his show satisfies both the believers and non-believers of of the sixth sense.

BLOWING BUBBLES: Sure fire way to make a spectator forget exactly what they were focusing on. I believe that this was also featured in Building Blocks.

PHONE PREDICTION: Not as clever as I thought would be, but I do think that I will use this.

PK LIPSTICK: A great twist on the "Ash/lipstick from your palm to theirs" thing that Criss Angel did.

BLINDFOLD SEQUENCE: I really like this one. It uses a couple gimmicks, but you could find 'em here on Penguin for under .

OVERALL: This is really something that you need to get if you do pretty much any mentalism. I also recommend 7 deceptions.

Not useful to me Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 6th, 2010
The thinking behind the effects in this book aren't terrible by any means... a little too derivative perhaps, but certainly ok. The problem for me is that just about everything in the book is predicated on dual reality or pre-show work. There's nothing inherently bad about that, but my own personal bias is that I prefer effects than are more direct and designed such that they don't require these sorts of crutches.

If this isn't a problem for you, you may find some workable ideas in here. But for me, I honestly don't think I found even one.

I prefer 3510 than this book Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 3rd, 2010
Since I've read all Luke Jermay's book that can be found in Penguin Magic, I think 3510 is much better than The Coral Fang. The Coral Fang is more expensive than 3510, while two of the my favourite routines in this book (Touching On Hoy & A Dangerous Opener) can be found in 3510 also. And I don't really enjoy the "The Psychic vs. Psychological Performance" chapter of the book. Besides, I never do pre-show work so "The Pre Show Scripting" chapter did not interest me. In conclusion, buy 3510 instead of this book.

Brilliant Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 7th, 2010
I like Luke Jermay. Maybe it's that bias that makes me think everything he puts out is fantastic. I like the creativity and complex thought that goes into his work. I haven't actually used any of this material because of the set-up that goes in. i like a more limited setup or off the cuff style of mentalism. This is a great read though. For fans of Luke Jermay this is a must own. If you are not yet sold on his greatness, then it wouldn't hurt you to pass it up.

There is nothing more to say of Luke Jermay other than that he is a genius. This book has some genius effects that are quite reliable to perform, much more than his suggestion work. This book is basically an entire show. You are injuring yourself by not getting this. Enough said.

Dual reality at its finest Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 4th, 2020
The only dual reality that i found better is in Oz pearlmans lecture which i would recommend its incredible. Touching on hoy and 2 other effects are well thought out and have scripted patter to take all the guess work out. Not a fan of forcing a shape where you still leave your success of the trick based on your spectators ability to follow directions but if your top notch in specator management you should get through that. When you take risks for these upscale mentalism tricks its best if you have some "outs" just in case its not a hit. I took a lot from this but with all thats out nowadays i would have thought the price would drop.

Brilliant, but the presentational wording is stilted and could be more deceptive... Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 23rd, 2016
I love the routines in this book.
However, I'll give one example of some wording/patter
that could be greatly improved.

The way Jermay scripts Touching on Hoy,
you would probably not want to do this TOH,
and also PK Touch, in the same act.

This is because,
amazingly, Jermay uses the same wording
you would use in PKT (which makes sense in PKT)
in this routine (which is unnatural and makes no sense in TOH).
Not only does the wording sound very weird,
but I think it risks exposing the DR.

I have changed the wording from,
"I'd like the person who felt me touch them to think of..."
or "If you felt me touch you just now, think of..."
to:
"I'd like you, the one I just touched, to think of..."

There's probably even a more natural way of saying it.

Coral Fang by Luke Jermay Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 2nd, 2007
Luke Jermay always amazes me by his clever thinking. This may be a small manuscript, but it is jam-packed with GREAT mentalism that really hits anybody right between the eyes, even the skeptics. And I totally agree with the description in "Touching on Hoy": It really is the best thing in the entire book!

However, this is NOT, I repeat NOT for beginners. You need to know a few suggestion patterns, rapid inductions, etc. Before you get this, you might want to check out "Building Blocks" or "13 Steps". If you have either of those, this book will be pure gold to you.

Luke is quite possibly the best instructer ever Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 7th, 2007
I must say that everything Luke puts out is gold. The Books The Downloads The tricks and the dvd are all gold . Having Luke's name on a product is like having the kosher sign on a bottle of pickles, its good.
