"Gabriel Werlen will go down in history as one of the 21st Century's greatest mentalism creators. Bold words I know, but easy to for me to say because I have seen, read and studied his material. Gabriel has also fooled me more times than any mentalist I have ever met. And his material isn't just fooling, it's also delightfully clever, the 'puts-a-grin-on-your-face-when-you-perform-it' kind of clever. There's no doubt that his Penguin lecture will shoot straight to the top of many people's Favourite Lecture of All Time list, and so it should." - Mark Elsdon

“Gabriel is one of my all-time favourite creators. Everything he releases is GOLD!” - Michael Murray

"I love Gabriel's approach to mentalism. His subtle, and sneaky, methods are a joy to discover in a lecture packed full of real-world tested routines." - Jon Allen

“Inexplicable and deeply fooling mysteries that will make your audience’s head spin. Created by the diabolical mind of the Werlen Dervish!” - Raj Madhok

“To See Garbriel is to be fooled. Ingenious, practical, fooling thinking” - Tim Trono

"Combining new sophisticated principles with smart presentations, Gabriel amazed me over and over again. I didn't stand a chance." - John Bannon

“In Mentalism, the path I chose to walk is a little traveled one, one that but a few are taking. For his obsession with psychology, his attention to detail and for the subtlety of his ploys, Gabriel is definitely a traveling companion. I believe that his work will inspire you” - Phedon Bilek

"Gabriel Werlen's 'Green Neck System' is a testament to his genius. With practical performance ideas that captivate and innovate, he stands as a true visionary in the field.” - Paul Brook

"I adore Gabriel, he is a genius! I got and studied all of his work and use parts of it in my active repertoire and work all the time. It is that good! His "Green Neck System" (look out for his second book!) is unbelievable and incredibly versatile. Juice for your brain and creativity! Truly my highest recommendation! " - Jan Forster

Gabriel Werlen is your favorite mentalists’ mentalist. He’s the mind behind The Green Neck System, an incredible method that allows you to perform some of the most powerful propless mentalism ever conceived. With just a few questions and simple statements, he can divine what you are thinking, the decisions you have made, and even what actions you will take in the future. Now, Gabriel is here to lay not only his favorite methods bare but introduce you to brand new concepts that are guaranteed to set the world of mentalism on fire. You’re about to become privy to some of the greatest secrets in mentalism in Gabriel Werlen’s Penguin Live Lecture.

Here is just a taste of what you will learn:

Know-way
A new unpublished spin-off of the Green Neck System. A devious method for locating a participant's selected card from ten or more possibilities.

Setting The Table
This introduction to the Green Neck System allows you to know exactly which piece of silverware the spectator has chosen just in their mind. This is just the start of your propless mentalism journey.

Seeing
Three transparent glasses and invisible colored balls are mixed up, and yet the performer knows exactly where the invisible colored balls are located. This incredible feat makes it truly appear as though you can look inside the mind of your spectator.

A Colorful Introduction
A paper ball is tossed out, and a person is given an opportunity to choose any color, and impossibly, the freely named color is chosen. This is not just a great way to start a show but also an excellent way to invite a spectator on stage.

The Loser Wins
Gabriel shares many variations on this principle so that you can turn confirmations of information into miracles. Predict coin flips, know which hand something is hidden in, and so much more.

Heritage
This variation on Kenton Knepper’s Kolossal Killer uses a single small envelope and clever language to predict a single thought of playing card. It’s an exact hit every time. A mix of luck and intuition that keeps the spectator under your control.

Heads I Win Tails You Lose
A spectator imagines a coin flip and the magician successfully determines the outcome well before the spectator even thinks of the coin. This effect has a killer kicker to prove how good the magician is at predicting coion flips.

The Consolation Prize
A Bank Night routine that uses the Schroedinger Principle for a sure fire win for the magician every time. A game that is foreshaddowed from the beginning of the show turns into a knockout effect that is the perfect closer for any mentalism show.

In addition to these effects, you will be introduced to Werlen’s brand new concept, The Schrodinger Principle. This flips the concept of Dual Reality on its head and allows you to use just words to accomplish incredible mentalism that is impossible for your audience to backtrack. You’ll not only get introduced to the concept but learn incredible effects that allow you to predict how chosen numbers, imaginary coin flips, and even someone’s future.

Gabriel Werlen holds nothing back. This in-depth lecture, hosted by Erik Tait, shares some of the secrets that he’s only shared with the world’s top mind-readers. Almost everything can be performed without props or gimmicks, the concepts are easy to follow once you understand the principles, and you can give your audience one of the most authentic displays of mind-reading the world has ever seen. Prepare to harness the power of The Green Neck System with Gabriel Werlen’s Penguin Live Lecture.

You read it right. Don't buy this lecture. I want to keep it away from as many people as possible. It's just too good.

On a more serious note, I have been a Werlen fan for a long time as his methods are extremely deceptive for laymen and obliterate magicians. I have bought and read the Green Neck System and the sequel Green Neck System 2, but I have never had the chance to see Gabriel perform and so this lecture complements the books perfectly.

What should you expect from this lecture?

- A bunch of solid SYSTEMS that will allow you to make impromptu mentalism and fry people's brains.
- I say SYSTEM because it is more than just routines but surefire concepts that you can adapt to any context.
- If you already perform strong mentalism with "probabilistic methods" like cold reading, multiple outs, dual reality, Peter Turner, Phedon Bilek mentalism style, Werlen complements perfectly this style by providing SURE FIRE (100% success) methods that feel and look like the probabilistic ones so you can alternate between the two styles while keeping your hit rate high.

Haven't been so fooled by one effect in years... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 13th, 2025
The effect "seeing" is honestly one of the best mentalism effects I think I've ever seen in my life....

Erik even tried to do the craziest outcome and yet it didn't matter....

3 clear glasses and 2 imaginary dice... I think this is one of the best monte style effects too because it's literally impossible to backtrack.

This routine is worth the price and I'm not even exaggerating... literally something that would be what a person who could really read minds could do.

The first effect with the cards was amazing but Seeing is honest to god one of the smartest things I think I've ever seen.

Great mentalism Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 11th, 2025
Werlen is amazing. His thinking is incredible and his systems are explained clearly. You know you have the stuff when you are absolutely frying Eric Tait even as you’re explaining how it works.
I’ll say this, if you watch this lecture and you think the Green Neck system is something you want to explore deeper, get his second book Green Neck 2. There is a multiple spectator murder mystery mentalism routine in there for stage or parlour. It’s called Clue and it’s a reputation maker.

Buy it or Don’t Buy it ("Schrödinger Principle") Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 13th, 2025
It might sound like an exaggeration, but this is, without a doubt, the best Penguin Live I’ve ever watched in my entire life. I first heard about Gabriel Werlen less than a year ago—not in person (unfortunately)—but his name started popping up in conversations with fellow mentalists. One person mentioned him, another praised him, and I decided to pay attention. Today, I can confidently say: **this guy is the best mentalist out there right now**.

That said, I have to confess something: I wish no one else would buy this lecture. That’s right. The material is so good and so powerful that I feel like keeping it a secret, away from the hands of other performers. But since I’m not selfish (or at least I try not to be), here’s my review.

If you’re a serious mentalist or simply someone passionate about well-crafted mysteries, this lecture is absolutely essential. But let me warn you: after watching it, you’ll want to dive deep into the books *Green Neck System* and *Green Neck System 2*. And once you start using these tools, your audience will never see mentalism the same way again.

Gabriel Werlen isn’t just a brilliant creator; he’s a visionary shaping the future of mentalism. And this Penguin Live is definitive proof of that.

I own both Green Neck volumes and a couple of other publications from Gabriel, so had some idea of what to expect. Even then, however, this lecture blew me away.

It's an old cliché about one trick being worth the price of a download, but the first trick on this video is worth the price of the download! It's ridiculous, and one of the most "unbacktrackable" effects your likely to see.

After more great discussion and teaching on Green Neck, the lecture switches to the Schrodinger Principle. With live performances and in-depth breakdowns, you will learn a great tool for creating new miracles.

Gabriel is a great thinker, and his explanations are very clear. The visual aids he uses make things very easy to follow.

There are some great Penguin Lectures, but this is easily my favourite. I will be watching and re-watching this many times over the coming weeks.

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 5th, 2025
In all my years as a mentalist, I have NEVER been fooled this badly by a single performer, than by Gabriel Werlen. Although, I got to say that Michael Weber comes within a close earshot.

When I first began to watch the lecture, I was so badly fooled by the first effect Know Way, that my jaws just dropped. Then, when he explained how the effect worked, my jaws dropped even further at the ingenuity behind the workings. To make matters even worse, my jaws dropped down to the ground, coming out of their sockets, after he performed the invisible ball effect with the 3 clear glasses. Even the most beautiful woman on earth, who'd ask me out on a date, would have been able to accomplish that feat. Yeah. I was floored badly and I haven't been in a long while, not since meeting up with Michael Weber years ago.

If you want jaw-dropping mentalism that will scramble the minds of laypeople and mutilate every single cell in the brain of other magicians, get this. If you can't afford it, borrow money! Or not. Maybe it's best to keep these secrets to a select few. I do hope Penguin brings him back for round 2! I got my wallet, snacks and drinks already prepared for it!

Excellent concepts taught expertly! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 31st, 2025
Many people have already said many amazing and well deserved statements about how wonderful this lecture is. I'd like to add something, though. I would like to mention what a great teacher Gabriel is! His use of visual aids, and the way he approaches teaching his effects makes the concepts easy to understand. Having a deep understanding of a concept does not frequently translate to being able to explain it well, but Gabriel is the exception to that rule. He has clearly thought deeply about how to best convey his methods, and that makes a huge difference. Thanks for a great lecture!

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 19th, 2025
This lecture is simply incredible! I (also) almost fell off my chair within the first 20 minutes – I witnessed something that elevated this lecture to the highest possible level. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire lecture, and it offers so much to enhance one’s own practice of mentalism.

I would say this lecture opens the door to the world of mentalism perhaps more easily than many other lectures or masterclasses I’ve watched (not to undervalue the others in any way). Gabriel’s performance and presentation were astonishing, amazing, and absolutely top-notch. There is something uniquely special about this mentalist. 🔥✨🥳💥🙌👌

This lecture is a massive source of inspiration and opened new perspectives for me in the world of mentalism. Thank you for this incredible experience! I’d give it 6/5 stars if it were possible! 🙏✨
