Wish there was more detail to much beating around the bush.Also with all respect Dan's expertise is not in mentalism or code acts all of a sudden this comes out on the market.I am skeptical about this one just my opinion.

Just don't know tempted but will wait to here more.Now if a person like Osterlind put something as such I would not hesitate to buy it.

exactly the opposite here: if mr.Osterlind put out something like that I'd know it would be too "magician" oriented. : and I'd stay far away from it: osterlind overload may be dangerous !! |

I am still a big fan of Osterlind you will never be disappointed whatever he puts out.Anytime he puts something out I buy it sight unseen always a winner.Back to subject I just can't picture Dan as a mentalist he has never done anything but magic.Dan is a great guy but no mentalist.Sorry my opinion again.

I understand you welland as a matter of fact I picture Osterlind as a magician AND NOT A MENTALIST so to me Osterlind and Harlan are on the same level.
but I prefer Harlan as human being. Sorry my opinion again: |

And repeating over and over "just my opinion" as your mantra/excuse, doesn't make you a Zen master. Dan has put out some excellent mentalism material over the years. Your appearance here started out as fishing and then turned to smearing. Read some of the reviews by respected mentalists on this and the other large thread of the same title. http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......=303&156 That is if you sincerely are wanting to find out the truth about this.

IMHO, anyone who puts Dan Harlan above Richard Osterlind or even on a similar level in the mentalism arena has NO idea what they're talking about or has got to be kidding.

Dan Harlan is no mentalist period.Anytime I hear his name I think rubber bands.Maybe he stumbled on one thing might be good but mentalist his not stop already.I am not going to compare him with no mentalist period because he is a magician.I think as movie man mentioned you guys don't know what your talking about.Psidroid what mentalist are you talking about I see no heavy hitters you are talking about.Maybe I need a rest from here need to find a place where people know what there talking about.

Look being this will be my final post Here on the subject.Maybe Dan came up with a winner it's possible.But ninety percent of the hype here on Café never lives up to being good, the other ten does maybe this is one of them.There is an inside joke you want to know what's good go on Café whatever they say it's the opposite.Yes to much hype here that is why I am skeptical.Plus one hundred for a DVD no way not even the biggest heavy hitters in mentalism charge that much.Plus Dan is no heavy hitter or mentalst in my opinion again.

Let me give you a final example.Take a person like Rick Roth all of his products are tremendous but he stays in his zone.He sticks with the bizarre theme and is consistent.He does not jump as Dan does from rubber bands to mentalism .There are any examples as such not trying to compare one with other but they all stay in there zone.Dan is not in zone that's some leap again from magic to mentalism.As far as I am concerned he has no track record for me in mentalism.Anyway enough publicity for Dan he has gotten more than he deserves.You can all say what you want but these are my final thoughts and will not respond no more.

CarlZen,
Either you have an axe to grind with Dan or you are just plain stupid. And, sorry guys, but on a HUMAN LEVEL I too prefer Dan Harlan than Osterlind's prima-donna attitude. A code should have VALUE for what it is, no matter who created it. You don't like the code? Go play with your fingers into electric sockets or go play with a ball on a highway. Xiqual - Well done!
Then you'll rise right before my eyes, on wings that fill the sky, like a phoenix rising!

Considering the way Harlan behaves when answering posts or silly critics to his creations I too prefer Harlan behaviour than the other magician mentalist mentioned.
Consider the following. If someone said something like that on this code and the code was created by Osterlind, by now those people would have been insulted and belittled by Osterlind himself calling them names. Up to now for what I see, Dan Harlan did not. The code is good. It accomplishes what Harlan says. The rest is irrelevant. |

For you education, Dan has release a mentalism VHS (pack small play big mentalism vhs) about 10 years ago I think, so it means he perorm mentalism for a long times, maybe even before you're born...
