Matt sent me this in an earlier form to preview but I've only recently had the chance to give it the read it deserves. It's All In Your Head contains material I WANT to perform. The plots are straight forward, the methods clever while being well within most performer's reach so you can focus on presentation and even just reading through the book I can visualize the very positive audience reactions these effects will garner. My sixth sense tells me the audience has a lot of fun both watching and participating in the show Matt teaches in his typical clear and engaging style. Well done and recommended.

Magic Maddy already posted a pretty thorough review, so I will keep mine a bit more condensed...
A short review. Matt was kind enough to send me a review copy of this. Imaginary Ball Totally not what I was expecting in the way of method, but I like it! This can play as suggestion, a kind of a PK Touches effect. Very cool. Basically a spectator catches an imaginary ball that you drop into their hand...even though they are blindfolded and can't see WHEN you drop it! This Hand That Hand "Kind of" a which hand prediction effect, using the imaginary ball from the previous effect. You are able to predict what hand the imaginary ball will be in of 2 spectators and know how many times they will pass the ball from hand to hand in a set amount of time. I REALLY like this. The combination of the 2 above pieces would make a great little semi-impromptu set guaranteed to get a reaction! People Skills Essentially, James' Miraskill with people! Why didn't I think of this! What more can I say...oh wait, I can say more. There is a kicker ending, where you prove that you were able to predict the random numbers that the people that helped would pick. I honestly was happy with just the first part. This kicker ending makes this that much better. Pulse Rate This was a previous release of Matt's the method is direct and simple. You predict someones pulse rate, 100%. This actually uses the same method as This Hand That Hand...or should I say This Hand That Hand uses the same method as Pulse Rate I like this and have been using it since the first release. Spirit Necklace Basically this is a hand-made DIY gimmicked pendulum. What a great idea! I personally would like to see this in action, although I still think I want one without seeing. I can definitely see the potential for this. Hey Matt? What to sell me a set of these???? Ouija A Spooky effect with an Ouija Board and Tarot Card Planchette. The Tarot Planchette stops on letters to spell any word that you want...but get this the spectator is in control of the planchette. You are not touching it at all! This IMO is the perfect example of thinking out the box. What a creative method. All of the effects in this release in my opinion, are solid. If you don't use the routine as Matt has written up, this will DEFINITELY spark your brain and make you think of other ways that you can utilize the creative methods behind these effects and apply to other things. The "Additional Thoughts" sections at the end of each effect could have been sold as it's own release. There are more then 6 effects in this release...they are just hidden in the additional thoughts...you just have to apply them. Thanks again Matt for allow me to look this over and offer up my thoughts. This is a solid release...go buy it! |

It is rare that every effect in an ebook is easy to do AND excellent in effect. This is Matt Mello.
Thank the gods Matt does not work for the NSA and Hades help us all if he gets recruited. My favorite is Imaginary ball, but Ouija is running a close second. You could seriously freak people out. I love how Matt uses a subtlety in the end to let people know that maybe this was all an illusion. Great work, well worth the $30 I spent. James

Hi Gavin,
I decided to take down a few of my releases from the site, but the ads didn't come down. 'It's All In Your Head' is now only available through myself, and I've lowered the price to $15. Just send a PM if you need any details. Matt |

I've seen a whole show that he has done - he has a unique energy about him and self deprecating wit that allows an easy rapport with the audience and makes him both charming and mystifying all at once. The guy has a bright future and if he says something works, it is because he has tried it out. Best, Atlas |

Why is this not available anywhere any more? It's not available on the link above, it's not available from Penguin. Why is it not available?, and where is it available?

I just ordered this and Matt was kind enough to throw in another effect of my choice for free. I'm looking forward to it.

As KJ, has said ! Matt, is throwing in an extra free PDF of his !
I received the " Zombie and the Joker " PDF ! I know, I know, a card trick ? But, for you Spooky types, this can be done with Tarot. This will Freak out a participant in your Spooky/Seance/Halloween presentation ! Let's just say...a 'SPIRIT' will be playing with your participant ! He He Thanks, Matt ! Gary

Matt sent me The Devil's Coloring Book for FREE with my order. I really like the routines on "It's All In Your Head". I also REALLY like the Devil's Coloring Book. I do an impromptu OOTW, and I am definitely going to modify my routine to include some of the concepts in the Devil's Coloring Book. I am working on a slightly different way to present the method he described by using a paper bag instead of a jacket pocket, placing the cards in the paper bag, giving it a good shake so they can hear the cards are being shuffled up, and then having them reveal the color of each card coming out of the bag. My impromptu method uses half the deck instead of the whole deck. I think it makes for a more streamlined routine that doesn't take as long to perform.
Great work by Matt and definitely worth the purchase! Thanks. KJ |
