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!
I get it! not the important stuff...
