The Zodiac – Vernet
$25.00 http://www.murphysmagic.com/product.aspx?id=61317 The Hype: With this little innocent-looking book, which fits perfectly in your pocket, you'll be able to perform a complete mental act. You will divine instantly the sign, day, and month of birth of any spectator. You'll also be able to divine the spectator's aura, their personality trait, and the spectator's lucky card. You will know everything immediately, without touching or coming near the book and without any fishing or questions. THE SPECTATOR NEVER WRITES ANYTHING. You'll also be able to divine a freely chosen word from the book. This book allows you to do a complete routine with divinations, predictions, coincidences, ACAAN (Any Card At Any Number), calendar card, etc. The spectator never writes anything. You never touch the book, It fits perfectly in your pocket. Always ready, You can repeat it instantly. You never ask any questions. It uses an incredible new method, Totally self-contained, No anagrams. A complete mental routine IT INCLUDES A SPECIALLY DESIGNED POCKETBOOK, WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS, AND A VIDEO DOWNLOAD. My Take: It is virtually impossible for anyone who is involved in any way with magic to be unfamiliar with the Vernet company. I am sure we have all owned one of their thumbtips at one time or another. And as a major supplier in this area, we have come to associate the name with quality. That continues with this new release. You receive a very nicely printed spiral bound book that is just the perfect size to fit into your shirt pocket. Video instruction is a download but you also receive a booklet giving you the needed information. The demonstration uses three copies of the book. You receive only one but it is really all you need. This effect is based on Astrological Sign by Eduardo Kozuch which is also a Vernet product. However, in Astrological Sign, your spectator is required to write a number of things down. There is no writing necessary for The Zodiac. This method is also simplified making it easier to perform. You will be able to divine your spectator's Astrological sign, month of birth, date of birth, aura color, card associated with his number and the trait associated with his astrological sign. A book test is included which is based on the work of U.F. Grant. I recognized the method as it is also used in the Mother of All Book Tests. It is very deceptive and easy to do. And considering the MOAB goes for over $300.00 and this is only $25.00, it is a very economical way to add this effect to your arsenal. The methods employed are very clever. The spectator never says a word and you are able to give him a fount of information. However, I found the video instruction to be very difficult due to the language difference. Fortunately, the enclosed booklet helps to understand. It took a few times through to connect the instructions with the method needed. Once you get it, there is no problem and this is well worth the time needed to learn. There is a cheat sheet built into the book but it will be much more effective to memorize what you need. In fact, after some practice with the printed instructions, the video was easier to follow and worked well with the print to lock everything in place. There is one phase I predict a number of us will leave out of the routine. To name the card connected with the astrological sign requires knowing the Tamariz Mnemonica stack. I personally do not use a memorized stack so this will be one part that I do not include. There is still plenty of strong material to put on a convincing performance. If you do use the stack, a system devised by Simon Aronson makes it easy to figure the proper card. The book itself is nicely printed and looks to be pretty durable. It is colorful and attractive and should engage your spectator's curiosity. It fits nicely into your pocket so it will be easy to carry along whenever you go out. My wife and I will be taking a cruise and this will definitely be along with me. I would highly recommend this effect. It is not only made with quality but it is good, strong magic. As most of you know, good mentalism effects go for much more than the average magic tricks They are harder to back engineer and quite often you can perform them with materials either in your pocket or the spectator's. Considering the range of effects included Zodiac is priced ridiculously low. Get this and take the time to actually learn the methods and, like American Express, you will have something that you will never leave home without. |
