"There's probably no other tool in mentalism as important as the swami gimmick. Yet most mentalists don't use it because they don't know what kind to use, how to use it, how to wear it.. I'm gonna show you ALL those things, AND the routines I use them in. You don't want to miss this." -Richard Osterlind

TODAY, Richard Osterlind is giving you an unprecedented look into the ESSENTIAL mind-reading tool he uses on a daily basis. Many topics explored in these courses have never been published before. Don't miss it.

"His biggest gift may be his ability to explain in practical, down-to-earth language how to become a legendary mentalist." -Maxwell Murphy

For over 40 years, Richard Osterlind has been pioneering new ways to read minds, hypnotize, bend metal and more. He's considered one of the living legends of mentalism.

Aimed at serious students of the art, Osterlind's 13 Steps is a MODERN look at the fundamentals of mentalism based on Richard's lifetime of experience. It has some obvious similarities to the classic text, Corinda's 13 Steps, but is an entirely independent course based on Richard's own experience.

Today, Richard released STEP 3

PROFESSIONALS: If you perform mentalism professionally, this is a must-have. If you wanted to introduce mind-reading into your act, there's no better way to start. Osterlind is a pro's pro.

I get it! not the important stuff... Report this review

I love Richard Osterland and most of what he has produced, but the attention paid to the gimmick in this download is way, way too long (reminds me of his "Bank Night" opening routine opening one of his instant downloads where he just goes on and on and on.

I love the swami gimmick. I am developing a lot of misdirection techniques, how to write in true folds of paper (not a corner - which seems so obvious as well as unusual to write on the card corner).

What I was hoping to see was much more method and technique. What has he developed and tried that sucked for him? What (throughout his thousands of shows) always works? Etc., etc. Very disappointed the ID did not contain much more of that type of thing. That's what I want to learn from a seasoned master mentalist.

The swami gimmick writer is an absolutely amazing tool that by no means is "on its way out" (as another review wrongly suggests). With brilliant misdirection, well thought-out patter, etc., you can produce miracles that blow spectators minds at a moments notice.

Long live swami gimmicks and modified and new methods/technique to continue to produce incredible amazement!

Another winner from Richard Osterlind. I already have most of Richard's DVDs, yet I learned new things on this video lesson. Everything you need to know for close up and stage use of a swami. My favorite part of this download is where Richard teaches 'Inside the Fold' including the 'Super-Secret Dr. Jaks move'. Very cool, very practical and very deceptive.

Great course on effectively preparing and using the swami. Thank you, Richard!

Listening to Mr. Osterlind is like listening to an old college professor who is skilled at breaking everything down. He helps you to grasp a better understanding of this all important magician's tool.

Answered a lot of questions Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 11th, 2015

I had been struggling with the gimmick. (fit, writing etc)
Like so much in magic, all I needed was a few pointers and everything fell into place. This provided those pointers and much more. Can't wait for the rest of the steps.

I have been impressed with Mr. Osterlind's presenations and lectures/DVD's for years. He has a straight-forward approach and easy to follow.

I got the first in the series and was captivated. I did not get the second because it is not an area of interest. Regarding the Swami Gimmick, I have never experience such a rich, helpful, and informative presentation on the subject! (That's from a magician who will probably never use one.)

I am looking forward to the rest of the series.

Consistent Quality Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 11th, 2015

Even if you don't prefer a swami gimmick, this is quality stuff. I've always used a boon but after watching this video I dug out my swami from the drawer and started working with it.
So far, each lesson has been loaded with helpful, practical information. Keep 'em coming!

Amazing! Swamis are an invaluable tool. Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 2nd, 2015

This is a great lesson on swami gimmicks, its an hour long. Many great things are taught including hot to fit, prepare, and use the gimmick.

Question: Does anyone know where to get the swamis that he uses in the video?

As one comment said, it would be nice to know what did not work in his early use of the swami. But the information given is gold. What undernail writer works, how to prepare it, how to fit it, how to subtly get it on your finger (although that does require practice).
There are routines given for its use, If they are not enough, look at Osterlind's other DVDs.
For those who criticize the lack of routines, this is not something you will do an hour show on! This is a utility, a very valuable utility, that, as a mentalist you need to know how to use.
If the undernail version is not for you, try the Vernet Magnetic Boon writer or a band writer.
Richard Osterlinnd does cover the various types of thumb writers on another of his DVD projects (Corinda?).
