Blindfold Card Reading: You'll learn an underground card cheating technique that allows you to identify selected cards from a truly shuffled deck, while legitimately blindfolded.

The Devils Deck: Harlan teaches you to make a clever deck of cards that shows you exactly where any named card is, tells you which cards are missing, and helps you find any four-of-a-kind.

Bank Night Revisited: Harlan's updated spin on the perennial favorite, Bank Night, where everybody wins big money, but you always get to keep the top prize.

Dr. Bridges' Thought Projection: A word is randomly chosen, and you reveal your prediction is the page number where it appears in the dictionary. Plus, the word is circled!

The Chess Knights Tour: Blindfolded with your head turned away, you're able to call out every move your helper needs to make for a perfect knight's tour of the chessboard.

The Tarbell Rapid Memory Act: You'll learn to demonstrate your super-memory skills by instantly recalling twenty random items in any order, forwards or backwards.

All classics Report this review

Dan Harlan's Magic of the Mind lecture in the Tarbell series contains effects that are all classics, not just in Tarbell but also in Corinda's 13 Steps. As always, Dan takes the basic methods and improves upon them, adding his own spin to make them better. My only quibble might be with his version of the memory system. To me, doing a s******** o** move defeats the purpose of the routine, which isn't that difficult to begin with if you practice. But to each his own. Of the Tarbell mentalism lectures, this one is just about at the top of the heap because you will see something that you will like and use. I really like Dan's version of Bank Nite, for example, and do it with a slightly different method from Tarbell. But I think that I'm going to add Dan's excellent nuances. For me, that was worth the price of the download itself.

Great Material Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 6th, 2018
All the presentations in this lecture are excellent.
The movements of the "knight" in the Chess presentation are fantastic, although it is not really a magic trick and can be only appreciated by chess players.
The trick of memorizing the 20 words is an old classic in mental classic.
I have presented this trick using words actually given by the present audience. It can be performed very easily.
I like the idea of writing the words in flash cards and read by a spectator.
The problem with using words from previous presentations is that you need a large audience since 20 people will not hear their word in the presentation, plus you need to make substitutions. Using the actual words is more effective since members of the audience can recognize their words. It is very easy to make the associations right in front of the audience.

Amazing stuff here Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 21st, 2020
Dan is such a creative genius. I can't stop marveling on all his takes on effects and how he can build just about anything. He is the MacGyver of magic. There so many cool ideas inside that I can't pick one.

However, his take on the Knight's Tour is fantastic plus he could easily make and market that idea.

On top of that, I loved his take on the Memory Demonstration. I actually do memory acts, but I loved how he came up with a way of giving you extra time to memorize yet it will look like you are doing it instantly.

Amazing stuff!!

Hot Half Dozen Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 9th, 2018
6 effects, one using an old card cheat method but one that can easily fool modern audiences and card magicians. A "Devil's Deck" that blew me away when I watched it. An actual foolproof Bank Night, and more. Plus the effects are modernized from the book and you get Dan's insight as to why the changes were made and how to better sell the effects. Just his insight alone was worth more than what I paid for this one.
