Steve, if you're on the board (not steveline but Fearson ) Does this rouine need a deck of card or can we use anyzthing else like business card?

This reminds me vaguely of a principle Fearson has used before. *ne *he*d principle, because it requires you to first ask them to choose a card to predict.
My flash players down right now so I can't see the video to check if I'm wrong or not. Still, it looks like an interesting piece. It's a brilliant name.

DekEl, in the video he tells us that he uses none of the traditional mentalism techniques in particular the *ne *he*d principle.

I also ordered it pre-release. One thing about this site is that the delivery is very prompt (My experience anyway). Looking forward to learning the method - he also states that it can be used to predict any number between 1 - 50. Last time I did that was with my trusty N""" W""""".

The predicting of a number between 1-50 is a bonus routine so not sure if it's going to be as straight forward as the other predictions,if it was surely it would have just been included or maybe the main selling point.

Yeah, zhe prediction between 1-50 doesn't use the gimmick.

When I read the print, I didn't get the impression that it revealed any number from 1 to 50, if you get my drift, although I might be wrong.

From watching the video the dirty appears to happen @ 1:01 and looks very much like a traditional method in my honest opinion .If the ad states otherwise I'd question it.

This looks good but, as Parmenion, was wondering, could you use business cards rather than playing cards?

I think the surface are used to mask method would be too small on a business card .

I agree. It just looks like a multiple out system. Frankly I'd rather use Christopher Dee's 50-20; it's impromptu.

I've just received this. It's a new method. The ad speaks the truth. No multiple outs, 100% accuracy.
In my opinion this is huge, it could be applied is so many ways I literally got goosebumps when I watched the instructions.

I'm surprised. Especially that he would apply it mostly to selections with only two options if it wasn't an out system. Regardless, thanks for the note. Might have to check this out eventually.

No, only one card is used. It's new. And it's brilliant.
I purchase mostly everything Fearson comes out with. This is by far the most fantastic thing he's produced since the floating cigarette. I've been playing with this all evening.

Both the video and the description make it seem like he's simply come up with a playing card-compatible version of an established principle that usually wouldn't work with playing cards, but is typically used with business cards, post cards and other things -- which, incidentally, are far more natural, congruent and believable for this purpose than playing cards. I mean, if you're writing a prediction of what someone is about to say, why on earth would you use a playing card rather than on a notepad, business card, or random scrap of paper? Because you're a magician, and you therefore suffer from an unfortunate mental condition that compels you to use playing cards for every slightly conceivable function, from a surrogate notepad to a flyswatter to toilet paper?
Anyway, if it actually is something more than an eXpertly adapted rehash of a known principle to a new writing surface, someone please let us know. And if that's the case, then let me repeat the obvious question: can it be used with something more congruent than playing cards, i.e. a writing surface that a normal person who isn't afflicted with a debilitating playing card obsession might use?

That's what I thought when watching it:
'There's no way on earth I'm going to go through a deck of cards every time I perform a prediction effect.'
The one major question I have, is if it doesn't need multiple cards, then why use a whole deck in the demonstration and make it look like your doing a f*ls* d**l?

I got mine well over a week ago. It is an excellent method for somebody new to performing/creating. If you just buy the "Effect" and follow the script, well either you are new to Magic/Mentalism or you are just part of the Mr/Mrs Curious Brigade that just wants to know "How's it done". I do believe though if you add you own style/twist to the method, it could serve you well as part of a lead in to a bigger effect at your next show. I can confirm that there are no Multiple cards.

"markthorold- I think the surface are used to mask method would be too small on a business card .
Mark"
-----------------------------------------
If that's the case, I wonder if it could be done with a small notepad instead of a playing card. This looks good, but using a playing card is the 'weak point' in it, at least for me. I will order this if you don't have to use playing cards. Anybody have a clue?

No, you couldn't use a note pad. I don't understand the big "Hang up" on the playing cards, a little creative thinking can overcome this easily & turn it into an advantage!
