Just some ideas on keeping you magic and mentalism files safe... Also check out the reviews on https://ko-fi.com/mentalismoas

Just some updates for last month

I found the price point to be around £44.99. For everything included, I feel like I got a really good deal. If you’re considering purchasing this, I would highly recommend getting it directly from Adam’s site, https://www.deceptive-secrets.co.uk/store/p/everyday-esp , as I feel that supports him directly.

In an effort to work on my writing skills, I am currently reworking the reviews and articles.

The MindHaus Store is an online retail platform, accessible via mindhaus.co.uk, that specialises primarily in products related to mentalism, readings, and mystical arts, with categories including FILMS, E-BOOKS, PHYSICAL GOODS, MERCH, and a BARGAIN BIN. Lewis Le Val is a central figure associated with the store, having authored or collaborated on a vast number of its offerings, such as "Devil...

https://the1914.com/collections/main/products/this-is-absolutely-real The provided sources offer conflicting perspectives on the mentalism book, This is Absolutely Real by Thom Bleasdale, published by The 1914. The YouTube channel "Unbiased Magic Reviews" strongly criticises the book, calling it terrible, unoriginal, and filled with ineffective routines, while specifically recommending rea...

Can the AI hosts bring order to this age old debate?

Just some general stuff to update you all.

A standard Zener deck consists of 25 cards, with five of each symbol. The beauty of these five shapes is their universal simplicity. They are instantly recognizable but lack any strong, inherent cultural baggage, unlike a standard playing card suit. I utilize this symbolic neutrality by assigning metaphorical weight to each shape, which enhances the overall mystique of my mind-reading demonstratio...

Imagine this: a mentalist asks you to think of any random, three-digit number. Before you even say it aloud, they scribble something on the back of a business card, place it in their wallet, and set it on the table. You then name your number—let's say "769." The mentalist slowly opens the wallet, removes the card, and turns it over. In clear writing, it says "769." An impossibl...

Looking at Minimal Mentalism and what this can offer.

Just a podcast to explain further and get a few things off my chest.

It is my pleasure to offer a detailed deep dive on the vital topic of switching wallets as they pertain to my work in mentalism, drawing directly from the essential tools and observations available in the sources.

Ok folks no AI this time (apart from the background music) on the next up coming review!

I am delighted to provide an extensive and detailed review of the outstanding products offered by Steve Dela, encompassing his revolutionary marked decks, innovative accessories, and highly useful gaff cards. Steve Dela operates his shop over at https://www.nightflightdeck.com , and I have found that his commitment to quality always shines through, often providing high-end tools at a very competit...

Ah, hello everybody! Welcome to what is essentially my deep dive into the latest release from our very good friends over at The 1914: Triharder by the brilliant Simon Lipkin. Full review can be found over at my Buy Me A Coffee site.

I recently had the opportunity to dive into Ben Williams' latest release, 5WITCH - 5 Natural and Deceptive Card Switches. As a reviewer, I was sent this download free of charge, but I assure you, I am looking at it very carefully, reviewing it as if I had spent my hard-earned money (or, in some cases, the money donated to me by supporters). Any time Ben releases a new project, I sit up and lis...

I am genuinely excited to share my detailed thoughts on ICE-BERG, the minimalist ACAAN effect created by Daniel Dorian Johnson and published through MindFX You cab it from https://www.mindfx.co.uk/collections/mind-reading-effects/products/ice-burg-by-daniel-dorian-johnson

I recently took the plunge and downloaded Trifecta by Simon Lipkin, available through The 1914, and I’m ready to share my thoughts on this collection. This download presents a trilogy of powerful, practical, and entertaining mentalism effects suitable for close-up and parlour performances. I managed to grab it early for £20, although I believe the price has since increased to £25. The whole packag...

I’ve been searching for a smart, versatile pouch or wallet to help organize the everyday tricks I perform, and frankly, most generic pouches just don’t cut it—they’re designed for items either too big or too small for a magician’s needs. That’s why I was keen to get my hands on Dee Christopher’s Maverick, the next-generation Everyday Carry (EDC) pouch. This item is specifically purpose-built for &...

A few months ago, I decided to dive deep into the world of MADISON.cards and its accompanying knowledge hub, The Madison Library, and I have to say, I am genuinely impressed by the scope of content and the professional ecosystem Daniel Madison has built around his brand. This review covers both my experience browsing the physical products on the website and the sheer volume of tutorials available...

As a magician and playing card enthusiast, I'm always on the lookout for decks that combine beautiful design with clever, practical functionality. When I stumbled upon a YouTube review of the Circuit Playing Cards by The 1914, I knew I had found something special lets Deep Dive folks... https://the1914.com/collections/accessories/products/circuit

This has been a Deep Dive I've genuinely been looking forward to sharing. I have been working with Spidey’s "ABSee" utility device, and I must say, the deception in its simplicity is truly profound. https://alakazam.co.uk/products/a-b-see-by-spidey

I’m kicking off a series of posts revisiting older products to provide my final thoughts and feelings. Often, when you get something new, you're really excited, but a few months later, that enthusiasm has fizzled out. That might be because of a flaw, or sometimes, you come back and say, "Hey, this is still fantastic, I love it!" Today, we are revisiting the Providence Playing Cards. Wh...

Hello everyone! I hope you're well today. I'm doing another deep dive, but this one comes with a slightly sad note. With the recent passing of Max Maven, also known as Phil Goldstein, this review is officially a tribute to his memory. Max Maven was more than just a performer; he was a profound thinker in the world of mentalism. His contributions, from his prolific writing in publications l...
