More reviews:
"Revolutionary ideas that soon will be the standard for all mentalists .... Worthy of being seen on TV and still be believable!"
- Joe Monti, National TV Producer (Criss Angel's Mindfreak)

"Utterly baffling."
- Colin McLeod

"To say that I'm impressed is an understatement! This is something I will carry with me personally everywhere I go. The secondary DVD also includes a staggering amount of additional files which open up limitless possibilities for magicians, mentalists and hypnotists alike. Words simply do not do this justice."
-Michael Murray

"This is one of those times I wish I could toss my moral compass out the window and just tell you this product is crap... just so I can keep it to myself."
-Bryce Kuhlman, My Lovely Assistant

"This is for the thinking mentalist who wants to be at the cutting edge of new ideas without using stooges or electronic gadgets. Real magic of the mind that takes advantage of how our minds work!"
-Paul Draper

"Chris, you are a freaking genius and you can quote me on that! The method is diabolical!"
-Matthew Johnson

"Ingenious and innovative... It's not often that some new and useful principle is brought to mentalists, but Chris Philpott has done just that. Highly recommended."
-Jheff

"This is just ridiculously good. I got it expecting to find it interesting and possibly useful. I was not expecting to be wholly blown away by it, which I was. What I wasn't prepared for was how well-executed they are, and the amount of work that Chris obviously put into them, on many levels, to make them as effective as possible. It's rare that I get this excited about a new mentalism item, but this absolutely warrants it."
-Joshua Quinn

"It's awesome!"
-Ran Pink

"A radically new breakthrough in the art of mentalism. The 100th Monkey is brilliant and takes dual reality to the next level, the effects are powerful and well thought out, even greater is the core technique which opens the door to endless possibilities!"
-Robert J. Gould

"I think it is great. I had to rub my eyes a few times just looking at it!"
-Craig Filicetti

"This is effing great, so please stop talking about this. The fewer that know about this, the better!"
-Sean Fields

"BRILLIANT!! No hype... No BS.... Everyone we have shown it to is blown away. Thank you for producing something that is really worth more than the asking price. WE LOVE THIS THING!!"
-Paul Gross

"In the hands of a good performer, it can become a deadly psychological weapon, to produce the most organic mind reading ever! I can't recommend The 100th Monkey highly enough."
-Robert Marsi

"A LOT of work went into this and Chris's passion and personal investment is obvious in all aspects of the production. Great job!"
-Bill Cushman

"This is easily one of the best releases within the past year - pure genius."
-Brett Barry

"Excellent, top of the line stuff from a master... this is the sort of thing that other performers buy the rights to in order to keep to themselves."
-Atlas Brookings

(This review is for 100th Monkey by Chris Philpott)
I was very excited for this trick, as I do a lot of mentalism effects. However, while it states that it can be used for close-up, spectators also will "lose their ability to read" if they are close. It's a shoddy gimmick, and I've had children see through it, it's so transluscent. Chris Philpott basically sits in front of the camera the entire time explaining the effects in little detail, and it's hypothetical best case scenario at that. Nowhere in the description does this tell you that the effects have a risk factor. Only one of these effects are reliable, "Sixth Scent", and even then, you'd have to be a stage performer to do it. I am very displeased with this, an optical illusion that should be sold at Toys R Us for $10, not worth $80 at all. It is sitting at the bottom of my shelf in a box and I am debating setting it on fire.

I have done this trick a good 20 times and no matter how picky I am about the lighting, spectators guess how it works about fifty percent of the time. I can't say that I would recommend this one, but I like the idea and hope it can be perfected in the future.

80 bucks? weak instructional dvd Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 27th, 2014
(This review is for 100th Monkey by Chris Philpott)
I know an extra dvd was given with other goodies to print out for your use but still I feel cheated. The instructional dvd doesn't have any live performances just exactly what you see on the trailer. Chris basically sits in front of a camera and tells you things you can do without really giving any detailed demonstrations or live performances to prove his theory. This feels like an incomplete project. For the 80 bucks I poured in and days of trying to put together strong patter, I really feel that I've taken away time from other stronger effects that I receive great reactions from. this is going in the draw, highly disappointed, worst 80 bucks I ever spent.
I really tried to give this the benefit of doubt but as one earlier reviewer put it. It worked about 50 percent of the time as everyone knew about the mystery of the gimmick. Old science trick for adults if that, doubt its performance will interest a younger crowd so save your Begonias....

Very Cool For Pros Only Though... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 26th, 2013
(This review is for 100th Monkey by Chris Philpott)
This is really cool ! I'm stoked about it and fortune enough that for me at least right now $80 is not a ton of money...

However if i was stretched for cash and could only buy 1 trick I'd def feel a little burned. Not because of the quality or the amount of content you get out of the product but more because this trick is really for working professional mentalist.

I'm just a dood who is dabbling in magic for fun. I brought this to the bar and it was fun to play with but really only got a 50/50 result out of it and it not nearly as cool as the trailer makes it out to be.

BTW there are no full performances on the DVD which always a huge red flag. I wish I had known that before I bought it...

Overall really innovative and great addition for any working pro... if you are just an average person though. Save your cash unless you have a ton of extra floating around and want to try this !!!

Interesting garbage Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 27th, 2014
(This review is for 100th Monkey by Chris Philpott)
I agree with a previous reviewer that this should have been sold at toys r us for $10. Talk about a finicky gimmick. This definitely requires incredible audience management skills if you have even the slightest hope of pulling it off. Mr. Philpott has gone onto my naughty list as someone to avoid in the future..in an effort to stop flushing my money down the toilet. On the plus side I got an extra DVD case and two more coasters

Really Fun! Report this review

(This review is for 100th Monkey by Chris Philpott)
Great idea. I love fusing technology with illusion. This was right up my ally. I had a pretty good guess at how it worked before I got it so it was just what I wanted it to be, and more. Wonderful ideas in the DVD and PDF.

Good but hard to pull off Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 20th, 2014
(This review is for 100th Monkey by Chris Philpott)
Overall, the effects are sound and if you are a seasoned stage performer, you should be able to pull this off. However, I am not a stage performer, and I haven't had the confidence to try this at my local happy hour in front of a group of under 10 people.

Lighting is very important for these effects to work properly, and trying to perform this impromptu at a bar or restaurant is very risky since you don't really know how the lighting will be. Also, crowd control is important since there are angle and distance issues to think about.

Yes, the trick is pricey. Is it too expensive for what you get? Well, if you are a stage mentalist with some experience, then the price is justified. For an amateur impromptu bar/close-up magician like myself, it's probably a bit too much, especially since I don't think I will ever feel confident enough to try to pull this off.

The DVD quality is also mediocre since it's just a talking head for the most part. Seeing more detailed performances would have been more useful so that we could get an idea of how best to perform these effects and get away with it.

I don't really regret buying the trick since I was curious how it was done after seeing it performed on AGT. And yes, it was done exactly how I thought it was, which makes me think others might also be able to guess how it works. I think it would best be performed quickly, then move on to something else to not give the audience time to ponder it over.

Awesome trick. Definitely deserves 5 stars. Preformed it at a party, and it worked great! When I first received the gimmicks, I was immediately out preforming the trick. Don't hesitate buying this, you won't be disappointed.

I would like to give a 5 start for this amazing trick. But it came with a defective DVD. Not able to access anything and I am left out with few cards. When I checked penguin private forum, 2 other people had the same issue. I hope it will get solved soon.

I use this when I teach the Scientific Method. We talk about observation and show them this effect. You have to be careful with the distance you do this with your audience. That is why it is a 4 but love the effect
