I've been messing with this for the last few days, the Extractor: http://www.imentalism.com/index.php/e-bo......xtractor
After a few days of extracting using the multiple methods Jeff described, I tried it out. I walked up to someone from my class named Rob. I hadn't officially met with him, all I knew was that everyone called him Rob. I hadn't talked with anyone else beforehand, hadn't arranged anything with him before, I just asked him if he would care if I read his mind. Naturally he said sure. I then asked him to think of some personal number, like the month he was born on as well as the day he was born on, and add 1 to it. Everyone knows that I'm a big math person so he must have been expecting something long and drawn out, and so he wasn't at all prepared for what came next. Without anything else, no prompting, no fishing, absolutely nothing, I said "Twenty." and he gave me the strangest look. He was stunned, and I was psyched. He (and other people standing around) must have thought that I had too much sugar over the weekend because I was literally jittering with excitement thinking of all the ways you could use something like this. Think of a number between 1 and 10 to multiply it by: 140. (using the 7 force). I could have written it down as a prediction and given it to him to hold beforehand. Asked him to think of a book, a sport, an animal. Utterly anything. His Dad's middle name. His phone number. The possibilities are endless. Other ways to disguise your knowledge of his mind might include having him write something down, like his email address. I could put my hand on the folded slip and instantly name it. In a sentence, this is exactly the kind of mind reading I have always been looking for. Perfection hits hard, but I think Jeff Travilla nailed it on the head. |

He said there are only going to be 50 sales of it (due to the nature of the secret I also think it very wise). It takes some practice, but with a little work, you can do everything I listed above in under 48 hours. It kills. I'm sure you know what I think about weak links, but this effect has none. Its pure and glorious mind reading I've already thought up a way for it to work with playing cards. Book tests.. Book tests around the world for that matter. |

There are actually only 13 left. And yes, Jeff takes the 'limited edition' part very seriously. There will be no more once they are gone.

I am glad that he actually provided a valid reason aside from it being extremely powerful (and dangerous, depending on how you use it) tool. Its both affordable and limited, not like the sort of thing where the author puts it at several hundred dollars and only 50 copies, because he "wants it to stay out of the wrong hands", even though its website (if any) is so obscure that the wrong hands could never get at it. |

Actually it does say 13, you need to refresh your cache It's only a jpeg banner, thus the reason. My bad.
And tonight it will say 10 when I get home. I agree 100% Carlos (I'm assuming that's you). |

(And yes that's me) I would imagine that this could be a super-enhancement to any cold reading routine, being able to tell who their parents were, siblings, etc. It can also be easily hidden as something else, e.g. the ultimate swami prediction, so you do everything the same a normal gimmicked method, except you leave out one of the weak points (like holding the paper), and leave some of the old ones (like asking what the answer was before you turn it over), to fool magicians. I'm already working on another routine (to perform on someone else). The real beauty of it is that no one ever suspects the secret because their imagination stretches from what you can actually do. |

Just wanted to pop in and say thanks to everyone who's grabbed up a copy today. Also, thanks to Carlos for the very kind review.
While the system is fun to work, it is by no means perfect. It's not the holy grail by any stretch. I just hope no one bought it with too high of expectations. It's fun, yes, but it also takes time to uncover the information. I wanted to be transparent and forthcoming regarding what the actual "Extractor" is and is not. Hopefully, if you have read the ad-copy on iMentalism.com you will know exactly what you are receiving. There are eight copies left. Sorry, people have responded to this review almost faster than I have been able to keep up. Sincerely, Jeff

Just to note, even though we've had our differences, what Jeff has stated above is as honest as one could ever hope for coming from a creator. Well done Jeff, I for one applaud you for your straightforward honesty.

I was glad that the ad copy is not at all misleading, unlike some other products I have purchased in the past. It was worth every penny because I can pull of the same direct mind reading I did today for almost anyone I know, even people in other countries, because its not language or country dependent. Its the only trick that I know of that without a force at all allows you to know with dead accuracy what answer they are going to think of before they think of it. Quote:

I have seen other products that left you wondering if you were going to like it or not until you purchased them, but this was a worthy exception. Jeff's personal insights and comments regarding methods via email were also invaluable, and another reason why he obviously has to limit it to 50 copies. |

Well, Jeff knows where I stand on the entire concept of what Extractor is, so it's a kind nod in his direction and a appreciation

With my new target I am working on a triple mind reading routine with just a few hours of prep work
First off, I'm going to explain how many fake mind readers look at the elbow to read what someone is writing (although its not really that useful). Then I am going to step away about 6 paces and ask him to write initials of his "special someone" on notebook in large writing, pretending to look at his elbow. The rest is just fun.. rattling on about how the chances of me guessing correctly are 676 (26 squared) to one etc Next, I'm going to ask him to put the paper away and ask him if there are any numbers in his email address. Would you divide that number by 4, and then concentrate on it? I think its an odd number. 7? The chances here are infinite to one because he could put as many different numbers as he wanted in his email address. Lastly, for a kicker, I'll have him add the last digit of his phone number to the month he was born on and the day he was born on. 12. Chances here are 304 to 1. Can't wait until Wednesday. |

Congrats to Jeff for a great product.......I still havent tried anything with it yet....my bad.....I mean I've only had it for like 2 years!!!
Time to revisit the Travilla machine Kam
If I speak forth, many a mind will shatter,
And if I write, many a pen will break. .....and when I consider my own self, lo, I find it coarser than clay! |

Well, it was a great run, but all things must come to and end. Such is now the case with "The Extractor." Thanks to everyone for your support and encouragement. I doubt many first-time authors have received this much support, and I honestly can't say "thank you" enough.
So, this one is over. But there is more in the works! I am now in pre-production on a DVD project! Many who have "The Extractor" also have a bonus routine called "The Restaurant Caper" to give them a taste of my thinking along other lines. If you purchased "The Extractor" before I typed up the bonus routine, send me an email and I will get it right over to you. Thanks again, from the heart. Jeff jefftravilla@gmail.com
