> Pieces at 3am Volume One by Dee Christopher

Rudimentary. Below even simple. My worst purchase on Penguin by far. Report this review

Too rudimentary.

Author himself says its too simple everywhere in the book so as to reverse psych you to believe its a niche feature or something. Id be stupefied if anyone would be fooled by these methods. There's hardly a youtube link or anything where the author is seen performing any of these routines though he claims that they are from his repertoire and that he's had people in twists performing these routines.

All in all its my worst purchase ever on penguin which is not their fault however.

Loki's description and a few of the others are described inaccurately in the ad copy above. Me makes it sound thru clever wording as if the poker chips are mixed by the audience. He doesn't tell you that the audience never gets to mix them and he mixes them in his own hands and instructs the spectators where to keep each chip.

Downright children's best guess methods and he finally challenges you in the book saying "Come on your guys, you are mentalists, im sure you can make these work" or something like that. The book is filled with statements like "If your a good performer you should be able to make this come off as a miracle".

Save your money. I wouldn't take this book seriously even if it was for free.

Ive seen good mentalist make the one ahead principle work.and fool ppl. And bad performers can nvr pull it off. To many corny mentalism books and dvds on the market. Most make fun of magicians and sleights. Yet they always make use of cards and magic. I stick to well known authors
