Hi, I am thinking of buying Kennedy's newest book tell tale factor, has anyone got this? I really liked his first book, thoughts so far. I was going to order his new one in a few weeks time but I have just checked his website and he say's its a limited release that will stop being sold tomorrow and has no plan's to release it again. Any thoughts?
Thank's Darren |

It's bold stuff, but it's explained in sufficient detail that one could see how it could succeed. You need to be confident (not cocky) to do it properly.
My observation is that everything is well-explained; there's no guesswork here - though you will need to be familiar with a certain aspect of mentalism that is, understandably, not taught in detail here. But you do get tips on how to practice, and that's something you don't often see in the instructions of this sort of effect. While reading, I almost felt that the author was just over my shoulder, coaching me at every step. In short, I recommend it. I hope I'll be forgiven for also recommending that you eventually get Thoughts So Far as well. It's full of simple, practical and powerful methods and routines. I felt I got my money's worth out of both. My only complaint is that neither volume is made out of the best materials. In the case of TSF, I suspect that it will be all too soon that the lamination will begin to peel back from the cover, though I certainly hope I'm wrong. Perhaps one day it will prove viable to have this reprinted as a nice hardcover! Just my opinions... seraph127

Hi Seraph, thank's for the reply I think ill go and order it today. I also enjoyed Thoughts so far, if tell tale factor is the same type of quality (which I'm sure it will be) ill not be dissapionted.
Thank's Darren |

Got my copy yesterday, I got it out the envelope and thought, 'I'll have a quick scan over it, then have a proper read later in the week' 20 minutes later I'd finished reading it, and hour later I had to have a little lie down as my head was so full of ideas.
It's simple, I thought one thing after reading it, 'you cunning little ***!' this is such a ingenious, brilliant and wonderful idea with real world applications. If you are a good actor and can rehearse a fair bit, then you could perform this as scripted the following day, but please don't. If you are a talented mentalist and a gifted performing (like Kennedy is) then you can take this wonderful theory, and adjust it, play with it, and make it your own. This could be a whole show, this (like it's going to be for me) can appear many times throughout your show and still kill the audience more and more every time. Kennedy has covered everything in his book, including how to rehearse, something which many of us can use to our advantages. This is simply an amazing effect, a wonderful method and a brilliantly written book that covers every single aspect of the performance and allows you to fully understand how you should perform this. There are so many possibilities of performances once you know how and what to do, it's almost endless the amount of different variations and styles of performance that Tell Tale Factor will allow you to do. I'm still coming up with hundreds of ways to include this in my act, and hundreds of different ways to perform my mind reading. It really is everything Kennedy says, in my opinion it is the closest you can get to real mind reading (think Derren Browns wonderful performance on the international magic dvd, and how much that looks like mind reading...well I think this is an effect that will top that for doing what it says on the tin, reading someone's mind) This is (like all the great things) hard work, it is going to need your investment in working it into your own style and practicing. You need to be a good performer, you need to be a good actor, you need to rehearse, but boy it's worth it. So in short, please don't buy this effect, in my view the less people that know about it and perform it the better it is for me...it's just too *** good! |

Phew, such good news that it's going to be kept as such a secret, because this effect is too powerful for the masses.
My advice is simple, if you are a serious performer of mentalism, then get the manuscript before it's too late. |

Keenedy,
I went to you site to purchase both books-Tell Tale and Thoughts So Far. However, upon checkout, I realized that there was not an option for paypal. Can I purchase both books directly from you using paypal? I reside in New York. Thank you very much. Best regards, Michael

I'm afraid there is only one way to get hold of Tell Tale Factor and it's through the current website, I'm sorry I can't do more.

Is the book as transparent as this marketing technique?

The description sounds too good to be true...and is such cases it usually is prudent to read between the lines. When the author admits that several people performed something similar after seeing him perform this as a motivation for his publishing the effect you gotta wonder just how deceptive it is.
That said, the purchasers seem happy with it. |

Hi Kennedy. Just for the record, as any dictionary will tell ya, it's 'endorsements'. With an 's'. Not a 'c'. You know, just that old 'magicians helping magicians' thing.
It's a shame I have apparently missed the ability to purchase Tell Tale Factor, and by a matter of hours. Good marketing campaign, though. Those who are / were interested, and similarly disappointed at this scything of opportunity, can always go and get 'Prevaricator'. Similar product, similar 'look no props' style. For details, see thread elsewhere on this here forum.

Ian, that's why we have the Cafés spelling police, but I can see the problem as we don't want any readers getting their superman briefs in a bunch! As you yourself so wisely mention in another post, maybe we should keep on subject?
Any more purchasers have reviews? I just dropped around $6000 on 2 Hi-Def 3 ccd camcorders or I would have bought one. I guess there's always ebay! |

Ian Rowland Special user London 889 Posts |
Scott, I take your point about staying on subject. However, in this particular case, you seem to be under a misapprehension. Perhaps I can add an explanation.
Yes, we do indeed have the "Café's spelling police" to occasionally correct spelling errors here on the Café. However, the correction that I offered to Kennedy has nothing to do with anything written here on the Café! If you are interested in purchasing Kennedy's products, and follow the links, you eventually reach an ad page for 'Thoughts So Far' that says the book has received 'endorcements' from many major mentalists. Now, this is fine and it's not going to be a major problem for Kennedy or anyone else. I know this. But Kennedy has a really excellent website and very good web presence in general, so I figured it was a shame to have this marred by an easily corrected error. And since (apparently) nobody else had seen fit to mention this to Kennedy, I didn't think he'd mind if I did. Moreover, there is a mild credibility issue involved. You never know, some people somewhere might think 'Ha, he wants us to think he can read minds and look, he can't even read a dictionary'.
