Looks like we have a 'new' miracle maker on the scene. The dvd also is available in Blue-ray format.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGwS_ssoLmk&feature=related The ad: In this DVD, you will learn a collection of LLV's working effects that are easy to do and insanely powerful. If that wasn't enough, you also have access to a 45 minute roundtable discussion between LLV and Dee Christopher on subtleties and techniques that you can add into your own performances to make them more powerful and effective. Harmony - Despite the spectator giving a deck of cards two thorough shuffles beforehand, the performer is able to know the exact order of cards in a chosen suit. Curiosity - The spectator secretly conceals their own coins at various locations on their body (left pocket, right pocket and one in their closed fist). The performer is able to divine the location of every coin. As a finale, the date on the third coin is also revealed under seemingly impossible conditions. Binary - The spectator finds their selected card using an unknown prediction card from another deck. The prediction is then revealed to bear the same value as the original selection and to have even predicted its numerical position in the deck. Off with his Head - During an entertaining exposé of card cheating techniques, the performer finds a royal flush in a deck of cards previously shuffled by the spectator. Hack - A number force using a spectator's borrowed phone. Caterpillar Control - A flashy card control paying credit to Chris Brown's Venus Trap. Wardrobe Change - Instantly make a card change by popping your T-shirt! As well as all of the material taught and the roundtable discussion, we've also included 4 PDF files on the disc to expand on some of the effects and subtleties taught; You will learn to tell instantly whether your spectator is left or right handed, how to sense when a phone is about to ring and how to create false memories with a little known visualization technique. |

Le Val was a guest on this week's WPR and did Harmony for the guys. Very cool. He presented it as a memory demonstration, although he only glanced at the face-up spread for a split second.

To be honest, lunatik, I'm not sure it's something I would do. Memory effects are not really my style, although I do enjoy seeing a good one performed. It fooled me. Seemed to fool the WPR guys, too.
It's basically as described: Craig named a suit, and Dave gave the deck a couple of cuts and a couple of faros. le Val had Dave spread the deck out, face up, and he made a show of glancing at the deck for a split-second. Then he looked away and shielded his face with his hands while he had Dave deal the deck face-up onto the table. le Val called out which card from the chosen suit would be the first one dealt onto the table, then the next, then the next, 'til he'd named all 13 cards in the order they came out of the shuffled deck. One interesting point for those who've watched the demo Zombie posted: le Val said it doesn't matter how the spectator shuffles the cards -- so presumably the spectator could do overhand shuffles rather than a riffle or faro.

Thanks French! I'm thinking that the principle might be useful for possibly using it as an 'unknown' card selection. but that might be weak compared to the original presentation. I wonder what other effects could be done with this principle? good thoughts!

I honestly don't think you can have it done with an overhand shuffle. Matter of fact... I just tried my theory and it works. So unless he is doing it differently, you cant over hand shuffle.
I've been training these cards since they were small.

Lewis does some hypnosis and mind reading too(YouTube). Looks promising.
By the way, he seems to bear some resemblance to Daniel Madison! Maybe the accent?
please pardon my English

And Harmony is only one effect from the DVD, 'Curiosity' obviously interests Craig P, and from the decription above has me intrigued. has anyone else seen the DVD, or performance of any of the effects?

A friend performed Harmony to me and unfortunately it fooled me for the first 3 cards and then the method becomes pretty apparent, to me at at least.
I'd imagine that a switched on spectator might catch on too. |

Even if they showed up in numerical order, how did they after 2 cuts and 2 riffle shuffles. That to me is what's amazing lol

There is a similar method in Steve Beam's Multiple Impact with two riffle shuffles on a multiple location effect.

Ben Earl also has something using a similar principle.
