Does anybody remember the "Cassandra Deck" - by Docc Hilford? Back in 1999 Docc made a buzz in magic when he invited no more than 50 professional mentalists to be privy to a wonderful mentalism/magic effect and principle and own this now famed special deck. This knowledge did not come cheap and for this privilege to be in a special group of Magician/Mentalists who could perform the “Cassandra deck” they each paid $100! Once the 50 decks were gone the magic community and many Professional Magi tried in vane to obtain one but to no avail. Docc kept the secret exclusive for four years.
Flash forward seven years to 2006…….. “Believe” It has happened again. I hope the magic/Mentalism community is ready for what is coming their way. I am here today to review an amazing and devastating piece of mentalism that was created by two amazing magicians from Ohio. Aaron DeLong and Justin Miller. “Believe” was the brainchild of Aaron DeLong and Justin helped him iron out some of the details and add some great things to it. This effect is only being offered by Justin at his lectures to a select few. This will not be sold to the general public and there are only a small amount being sold. Trust me when I say that this is something everyone will want to have. I was privileged to be the first to own “Believe” besides Aaron and Justin and for that I am grateful. I feel the same way that they both do that I am very sad that this will be offered to more than just the three of us. I would be glad for this to remain hidden forever. As that is not the case I will tell you what you need to know about “Believe”. “Believe” is not only a new effect but utilizes a completely new principle in magic/mentalism that has not been seen before. That principle has a plethora of applications that will aid the performer in many situations. The effect itself is a multi part reveal and mind read of a spectator from the small and intimate setting to a large stage performance. Let me break it down like this for you. 1. A spectator chooses a card. 2. The spectator thinks of a word that is special to them. Could be a name or what have you. 3. The spectator never says the name to you or anyone. 4. As you follow the patter you reveal the name of the card. 5. To add to that you then pull out an envelope that has been sealed and dated. Inside that envelope is a card. The card that your spectator choose. 6. Now it is time to make the spectator “Believe”! You turn the card over and written on the back of the card is the word they only thought of! It is hard to give this effect the justice it deserves in words alone. It is so strong and powerful in performances and is able to be adapted to anyone’s performing style and personality. Aaron and Justin have created something that is near perfect. No spectator or magician will be able to go home and reverse engineer this effect. They have placed roadblocks and detours in all the proper areas that will leave you “Believing” and with your head spinning. My advice to the magic/Mentalism community is to find out when Justin Miller is lecturing and beg him to let you into the “Believe” club and then keep the secret close and never jeopardize it. For what they have created is something so profound that people will have no other option but to “Believe” you read their minds. Cheers, Cody J.H. Pace

Cody,
Thank you for such a great review. I still have so much fun doing this routine for people and I am glad you are enjoying it as well. Have you had anyone tell you to leave the table yet? I revisited a table I had performed this at and the ladies asked me to leave because they had just come to terms with what I had done to them! HAHAHA! We all laughed together and I bid them goodnight. Cheers, Aaron

Wow,
I got a call from Aaron today and man am I glad I did..BRAVO BUD! You deserve it!!! To answer some questions. I lectured in florida last year no plans that I know of yet to lecture again this year but I will keep in touch. There will NOT be a demo of this due to the Exclusivity of the effect. They are priced at $50 and the dvd (when made) will be given to all of you who have purchased it at no additional charge. Justin Miller |

It's killer...I saw Justin lecture here in Vancouver and picked one up - I'm still working on the presentation of it to tailor it to my own personality but the method is definitely solid. It's basically ready to go into your act out of the package. I will give this a more solid review once I've done it for lay audiences but as an effect it certainly seems like it will play strong.
It's fantastic. Great work to both of you!

Why does it suck that something is exclusive? I say its a good thing!
We need more secrets and more "exclusive" effects. |

It will suck for ME that's what I meant about it. I agree on your comment, it just sucks that I will miss out on it, that's all.

Paisa23,
I do apologize... sort of, for releasing an effect like this and only to tease the community with 100 of them. Just some info on the release of this effect - I am only making 100. I will release them for now through Justin Miller's lectures only. He takes 10 with him to every lecture. That means 10 lectures from now, he may sell them all. We have already released 6 into the world. Only 94 left. If I were you, I would find a way to get to one of Justin's lectures. The reason for exclusiveness? I only wanted true performers to get their hands on this piece, not merely the curious. I will not apologize for the price. You will slay audiences with this effect. My word is my bond and I will not release anymore than 100. Besides, they take a really long time to make and I have no desire to make more than 100. Cheers, Aaron Oh and I will be keeping this exclusive for 3 years.

Do not even Semi apologize, its fine and I completely understand. For the most part my initial post was just kinda sarcasm. I often refer to people on this site, how it sucks to be stationed in Iceland and not be able to go to any lectures so forth and so on. Its fine it wont kill me. I leave Iceland here on Thursday, go to Jersey for two weeks then Texas for two weeks then I am stationed in Montana. From what I am hearing is that there are few lectures up in that area as well. Thanks for acknowledging my post but again its not a big deal. You guys enjoy what sounds to be an incredible effect.

Justin is going to be in TX soon. You should PM to find out where. Maybe you will be there at the same time.
Iceland sounds amazing! Are you from there or just stationed there for now?

John,
I will not be at Mindvention and due to the exclusiveness of this project, I am not trying to have this demoed everywhere. I have no intent to make it that commercially available. Although, I perform this all the time. Either catch me or Justin in action to see it. Sorry to say that. Aaron

I must admit for those of us that don't live in the US, it is a little unfair. The effect sounds nice etc, and it sounds like a great trick, but I'm not paying hundreds, maybe even thousands to go to America just to see the lecture to buy the effect. I understand about its limited etc, but even the Cassandra deck was available to magicians worldwide, just once the decks were gone, they were gone.
'The reason for exclusiveness? I only wanted true performers to get their hands on this piece, not merely the curious' Some people who attend these lectures are purely hobbyists, yet they are getting this opportunity over professional workers who don't have the opportunity to go and see a lecture. I am offering the price of the effect and to pay shipping for this, and it would still keep its exclusive rights as there are only so many being made |
