Is this something you could do even if your not a coin magician?
Im a mentalist and I have never worked with coins and I can honestly say that I don't have a single coin sleight down. |

With Psyche the only simple "move" happens in the beginning, which is very covered and forgotten by your audience.. from that point on The effect is over for you, but it has not even started for them. They will have the coin bend in their own hand and then watch it melt VERY visually infront of their face, with their initials bending into view.... and you are out clean.
I am always amazed at listening to people describe seeing PSYCHE to their friends.. " Its not the trick you fooled them with, its the one they fool themselves with" -AG Andrew Gerard
Well then...

Thank you for answering
Do you cover how to do the move on the dvd? Also, is this as strong without a bending tool? I live in sweden and the coins are very thick here so most benders leaves huge marks in them if I'm going to bend it real time. |

I can tell you I use to work for a club owner from Vegas who opened a club here and initially what he raved about was a signed coin bend performed by a former mentalist he had working for him. I heard one of (if not the) best is one done by Mr Osterlind.

Never had a problem with switching and rarely have I gotten someone who wants that much proof.
But having said that, I finally got to watch Psyche.... Brilliant!! This is the kind of thinking everyone should put into their magic and mentalism. Don't just go out there and start doing stuff without putting in the time to think about what you are doing. Gerard gives you his thoughts and the psychology behind them. A fantastic DVD that will add so much more to all the benders out there. Greg

This is by far one of my best purchases this year along with "Branded" and "Extreme Burn". The switch move is motivated and well covered, and the actual bending looks like the real deal. This is a must-have for those interested in this plot.

Jared, I am so glad to hear that! Branded is also a great effect I have it on me all the time.
Nic- I hope you get your fathers day wish. If any of you guys have " ACCURACY " it is the PERFECT effect to do before PSYCHE. Many of you will know why now. all the best, Andrew Gerard
Well then...

I got Psyche a couple of days ago and I have to say, this is amazing.
The routine is so well thought out and every move is well motivated. By far the best coin bend on the market in my opinion The bend itself looks amazing as well. I actually performed this today and everyone was amazed and one guy called me out and said that I switched the coin, and everyone just looked at him and said "Dude, the coin just melted how was that switching coins and started to laugh at him. This together with Cardiac is probably the best effects I have had the pleasure to own. |

Now I agree they may not think he has other worldly powers but lets not delude ourselves here, even if you do deep mentalism or serious presentations etc trust me many of your audience members will still think it was some kind of trick.. Back on topic, Gerard has some great stuff out there and I am sure this is no exception.. Good thoughts Spelmann
It's not goodbye, just see you later...

I thought I would chime in here!
I have personally seen Gerard perform this routine for laymen in a bar and I have to tell you from first hand experience.....it's incredible! After I saw this routine I spent a few months trying to figure out what coin bender he was using, that is until the DVD came out! Boy was I fooled :o) Great job Gerard!!! MJ |

A.G. Special user Vancouver- Canada 960 Posts |
LOL Thanks you Matt, you should have just asked me, I would have shown you PSYCHE no problem, those that know me, know I am always willing to share...You spent months tryingto find a bender that did not exist !
And to everyone else that has sent me pm's about PSYCHE, Thank you so much... your experiences and stories about performing PSYCHE and the reactions you have got make it all worth releasing. Presentation over method always, Andrew Gerard
Well then...

Well done Andrew! |

Andrew... just wanted to let you know my wife came through for Fathers day with a copy of 'Psyche' .. and have to say your routine really rocks!
The simplicity of setup multiplied by its impact makes this worth its weight in gold... thank you. - Nicodemus

Hey Nicodemus, that's great.... sounds like you got your wish.
enjoy PSYCHE. Strolling magician, thanks for that. I think that sometimes the process of finding the best effect leads you right back to the beginning. AG

I have had this for a few weeks, and I have studied it and used it on the public. I must say this is a hard hitting effect. Or I really should say routine. This routine is very well structured in a lot ways, such as misdirection, and psychology. You can tell that Andrew has put a lot of thought into this project. It packs very small and plays huge. I feel like I have learned a lot from this, and iam not talking about just the effect, but this DVD is like a mini course in misdirection, and psychology. Bottom line this stuff is very strong, and I am looking so forward to more stuff from this creative genius.

A.G. Special user Vancouver- Canada 960 Posts |
Badger, I am glad you are getting all the good stuff that goes with the routine.
I am so happy that you feel like you have learned more about the misdirection and psychology of routining etc... that to me is the key to performing PSYCHE or any effect. all the best, Andrew Gerard
Well then...
