I haven't gotten Double-Down yet, but I hear it's another great effect mindhunter here. I see Business Coin Prediction is also mentioned and I just happen to have that one...Here's my take on it.
Just have to chime in here about Bryn "mindhunter" Reynolds, "Business Coin Prediction"...I'm just starting out into the mentalism stuff and must say that I have happened upon some great people so far in this. It was suggested to me by a forum member here that is quite expert in these matters, that Bryn Renold's "Business Coin Prediction" was about the best of this Positive-Negative genre...I purchased it from Bryn recently and have to completely agree that it is an amazing value and effect. I like saying this part as I say it all the time about my own effect, "It's just $10 bucks!" But what an amazing effect. I've looked at several other Pos-Neg effects and this one rings best with me. It takes away all the uncomfortable stuff and allows you to be competely confident in your prediction. And boy is it ever clever, what a gem! Anyone that carries business cards should have this, and if you don't have business cards well here's a great reason to go get yourself some. The effect is very well-explained in a simple-enough, straight-forward but engaging page & 1/2. With just a little bit of practice with this, you can blow people away...I mean completely spook them out. It's a great piece of pocket mentalism that you'll carry with you everywhere - guaranteed! I expect to try a lot of Bryn's products now as his Business Coin Prediction is quite a remarkable piece of mentalism. Oh, and it's not just for mentalist. I'm more of a coin magic guy, but this is just an excellent effect to break up all the coin stuff. Same goes for cards guys too. We like to pack light and this fits right in and allows us to show that we are a lot more than just coins...Heck in this effect you use "Imaginary coins." It don't get much better than that for a coin guy. Marvelous effect - For once in all this mentalism stuff there's absolutely nothing to think about, just get it! -Mb Hey, I'm already reading your mind, here's the website http://www.mindmagic.myfoolmoon.com/index.html *And here's some great words about Café member Bryn Reynolds, this effect and his work from one of the world's best Mentalist, Richard Osterland...Don't get much better than that. http://www.osterlindmysteries.com/blog/?p=54

I neglected to mention this above:
I wanted to thank all of you that mentioned to the Café staff that someone was selling casino card sets advertised as my DOUBLE-DOWN in the "Effects for Sale" forum. I let Richard use in on his DVDs for two reasons: 1) uhhhh....It was featured on a RICHARD OSTERLIND DVD!!!...lol...HUGE ego boost 2) Although a DVD purchaser is of course free to assemble the necessary decks to make a set for their own use I knew they would find it more cost effective and easier to get a set from me directly. Plus, you get bonuses like the crib, etc. I don't get on here as often as I like due to my employment so I didn't catch it and I appreciate those that did and brought it to my, and the Café's Staff, attention. They took immediate action and I certainly appreciate that. P.S.: I still have a few sets of this run left before I get time to make another run this winter. Because I appreciate the eyes here, I'll offer a discounted price of $25, shipped, to any Café member on these remaining few sets. (Same casino back scheme that Richrd featured in the DVD set.) Thanks again, Bryn

Mine is on it's way and I am looking forward to the possibility of adding it to 'Stolen Cards' by Lennart Green. They both use casino cards and the routines should compliment each other nicely...I can't wait!!

Thanks, Paul. It should arrive shortly.
I certainly hope it works for you by incorporating it with "Stolen Cards" and you will have a whole routine with just 10 cards! Bryn

Bryn,I am considering purchasing your effect 'Double down'.I have to say the presentation of mixing up the cards in such a way is wonderful.But why only 10 cards? Why not 21? (an odd number might be best in case of an equal split by the spectator) Why not use a rainbow deck or 20 different blue casino cards? Am I missing something here?.Are the cards individually marked beyond the fact that they are all different? With best wishes to you. Andy.

Andy Moss Special user 713 Posts |
Bryn, ignore my above post. I have experimented with a deck of cards and have thought about this effect. It seems to me that there are only two possible ways in which one could achieve it. The first is through using a memory stack, false shuffle and a system of identification/ subtle marking for the cards. The second is even more ingenious and involves an adaptation of the G******** principle.I am becoming more and more interested!.
P.S I am assuming that your casino deck cards are all sold out.I shall wait patiently until the new year then I think I read earlier on in this link that more might become available again.I shall keep my eye on your web site. With best wishes Andy. |

Thanks, Andy.
DOUBLE-DOWN uses, to one degree or another, some of the above principles you mentioned. The "biggie" that makes the whole thing work, and play is "impossible," in my biased opinion, was tipped on Richard Osterlind's new DVDs. That one amazing principle is the Smyth-Myth. THAT is the reason I use 10 cards...(and I can get 52 sets out of 10 decks!) Thanks for your interest in my sold-out "Casions Deck & Kit." http://www.mindmagic.myfoolmoon.com/custom2.html I have a couple of other mentalism projects in the works but may do another run of this deck this winter if there is enough interest. Thanks! Bryn

Got my copy of Double Down and LOVE it. It is easy to do (some memorization required) and has great impact. My wife is never fooled by anything was fooled with this and says it's one of her favorite tricks. I might use it along with Stolen Cards since they both use casino cards.
Nice trick...Buy it!

Mine arrived last week and WOW!..what a great routine. As I hoped it does tie in very well with 'Stolen Cards', in fact doing so, really strengthens both effects.
The principles used are very subtle and the little memory work involved very quickly becomes second nature. I agree 100% with tgplano...Buy it!

I am VERY glad it passed the "wife-test" as those are sometimes the hardest (but that is a good thing...it keeps us working harder!) Thanks again, Bryn

Just ordered "Double Down" and "Buisness Coin Prediciton. I can't wait to see reactions from this. I have the perfect gambling routine this will fit into. I have one question, what is stolen cards. Can someone direct me to a link for this effect? Many thanks in advance.

"Stolen Cards" is an effect by Lennert Green that some have reported being able to acomplish with a minor adjustment, using the cards I supply for DOUBLE-DOWN.
Thank you for the order...I certainly hope you enjoy both effects!

Illusion & Beyond,
here is a couple of links for 'Stolen Cards'. This and 'Double Down' definitely go hand in hand. http://www.ronjo.com/thestore/prods/stlncards.html http://www.worldmagicshop.co.uk/stolen-c......130.html Although the ads state that it comes complete with a custom 'Rainbow Deck', they are, as shown in the photograph, the same style 'Casino' cards which Bryn supplies with 'Double Down'. Enjoy them both, they are real workers. Paul Mc.
