The Pro Mind Set is an unusual release and could best be described as a tool kit for mentalists. You are supplied with a well-made pouch containing five mental effects plus a few useful extras, including a notepad, sharpie and what is a versatile gimmick.
Although the idea and principles behind the enclosed effects are not new - and if you are looking for new secrets, look elsewhere - all are proven workers. Also, importantly, the effects have been chosen for current working situations, whether online or when it is more desirable for spectators to indicate their choice rather than handle the props. A lot of thought has been put into the supplied effects and in the explanatory video Paul, Luca and Alan joke about the length of time it took to decide on the best shade of green for one of the props. These men care and were keen to get everything right. In addition to the actual effects there is an optical illusion card showing two illusions. Again nothing new but this really allows the spectators to engage in your presentation and, by its very nature, is intriguing. In my own presentations, I often include non-mental effects to demonstrate quirks and ways the mind can be misled or influenced and this optical illusion card is ideal. As with everything else in this kit, what is provided are proven workers. I will not go into detail about the five included effects as a description of these can be found elsewhere. However, among the effects are some real gems. In the right hands, the book test prediction can be an astounding piece of mental magic. Another effect, Photo-wave is also impressive but I think the supplied cards could, because of the markings on the back, be ideal for Docc Hilford's equivoque. I am looking forward to trying this out over the forthcoming holidays. A few years ago Luca and Paul released DTC - drawing test cards. Although so simple these cards, with plain backs and simple drawings, were perfect for mind reading and drawing duplication effects, Pleasingly, there is a set of DTC included in this release with the cards being thinner in size and so ideal for carrying around. Another positive feature of this release is the explanatory video. Not only were all the effects described and shown in detail - and with Luca providing over the shoulder shots so you could see what was being done - but also shown were some additional subtleties. I found these very instructive with moves that I can readily incorporate in other effects. The pouch supplied allows you to carry these effects around but it is big enough to add much more, including a deck of cards and other items you may want to carry around. It is a neat container and one I have already put to good use. As I mentioned at the start, the Pro Mind Set is an unusual release. The effects in the set are not really new but they are practical, engaging and entertaining. And with the additional bits and pieces, including the optical illusion card, you will be well set up for performing at almost any time and anywhere. Well done Paul, Luca and Alan - and thank you too for manufacturing a thinner set of drawing test cards. These beauts are the stuff of miracles. Neil |
