Paul! You revealed my true identity to the masses! Now we need to figure out a way to further adapt Brandon's method to erase the minds of anyone reading this thread.
saysold: By day, I work at Penguin as the "good looking guy" at our head office. By night, I moonlight as a super hero sidekick. Trevah Whateva is the name I use to protect my identity. Shhhhhh...it's suppose to be a secret. Thanks for chiming in, Brandon. I'm seriously LOVING this one. I just fried a few brains with it. Very well done, sir! |

Hey guys,
So I keep getting the same question being asked that seems to be a concern. It's difficult to really explain what it is on an open forum so I'll do my best to address the concern. First of all, the penguin team is doing a great job and I'm happy to work with them on this project, as well as the other projects lined up. However, the demo video for LACUNA is not even an accurate or clear depiction of what the effect is. People seem to think that the effect is about switching someone's signature for something else. That's not the effect nor does it have anything to do with the effect. I'm not sure why that is highlighted in the demo video. The concern that everyone is referring to, has absolutely nothing to do with the main effect at all. It's a "bonus" kicker that is optional. It's a way to "PROVE" that you actually erased their mind ONLY if they attempt to convince everyone else in the room that it didn't work. The "proof" card that people are worried about is only brought out when and if that participant decides to pull it out. In the demo video, we intentionally drew attention to it just to show that extra layer. The discrepancy of the "proof card" possibly being switched is not an issue. I boldly pointed out the discrepancy thinking she would agree, but she didn't. That was the only time that has ever happened to me, and it just so happened to be the one part they put in the demo video lol. It can easily be avoided by not mentioning that discrepancy. I highly urge everyone who has purchased this, to go out and try it before assuming that it won't work. You'll see what I mean. Trust me. I've been doing this for a very very long time. I've been performing this on stage, and in close up situations for real people who hire me for their events, and this is the ONE trick everyone talks about. I was hesitant to even release this on a mass scale for the sole reason of so many people knowing about it and performing it. A part of me is kind of relieved that a lot of people are hesitant about purchasing the effect and even performing it, and the other part of me is frustrated that people aren't giving it the credit it deserves. On that note, the penguin team is working hard in an effort to clarify what the effect is by re-cutting the demo, also adding credits (which were cut out for some reason). My personal opinion, I think the release may have been rushed? I'm happy to know that the changes and fixes are in effect though. Please feel free to continue asking me questions if there are any concerns or if you want to just bounce ideas back and forth. Thanks everyone for your support and I look forward to hearing more positive comments and about your experiences performing Lacuna! BQ
It occured to me at once that love could be a great illusion, that makes fools of brilliant thinkers everyday

So would you say it is worth the $20 or should I just go look for the book instead ?
also i have a question about the "Erase" part of the routine. im pretty sure ive got a good idea how it happens so I'll say this. How would you match the hand writing ? |

Hey all,
Just saw this amazing little offering from my friend Brandon Queen last night, bearing in mind I am friends with Branden and envy his work as well as own a copy of Phathom. So first off, this is an extremely awesome premise, honestly if you perform for women, do a memory divination as well as hypnosis set that showcases amnesia then you will undoubtable get asked if you can do this exact effect. This is some seriously powerful stuff, I hope you all get as much inspitation from this piece as I did because it really is one of the finest pieces to float to the surface from the underground mentalism scene. -Jakob |

I have this and I think this is an effect that DOES work and I think the price is reasonable. This is NOT a throwaway. Everyone is going to have a different take on how to perform it, and they should. If you take this routine and conclude it doesn't work as explained, I think, in this case, you haven't put your work into it. The routine is solid, just make it work for YOU.
Without giving away any method, I hear that there is a concern, and I think it is probably surrounding the participant writing a name on a piece of paper. I don't see this as a problem. My take is to do the pseudo-hypnosis or whatever you decide to do a bit earlier in the routine. Tell them they are going to experience this as a bit of an out-of-body experience. Ask them to slowly print the name. Problem solved. I think this is a very powerful routine and I am very happy with my purchase. I think this is the first thing I have ever seen from Brandon, and I say, Brandon, EXCELLENT WORK. Well done! KJ |

I've not been introduced to Brandons works before and took the plunge purely on a whim.
This effect is absolutely brilliant! I cannot praise it enough! Totally not the kind of effect I would normally do and yet, it is probably the most excited I've been to perform something for well over a year! Not to say that it won't be a challenge to perform for someone who isn't used tot his style of effect, but that's what makes it exciting. The method is complex but totally brilliant in everyday. Everything is executed an thought out with precision and any slight bug bares I had with it are cleaned up in the supplemental PDF. I really can't rate this enough and I totally think it is worth the asking price! You cleanly read someones mind and them erase it! Its a great premise and I applaud both Penguin and Brandon with this project. I highly highly recommend this! Jamie Daws

I really like this effect.
The handling can be streamlined when combined with a certain Matt Mello effect. I'm going to PM Brandon with the suggestion.

I like the thinking and routine as well and am open to different thinking. That's how we grow:)

It’s still great, the instructions are poor as in the middle of the instructions he kinda throws you off with portions that should have been in the beginning. Other than the teaching being a bit poor and unplanned it’s still a wonderful pseudo-hypno effect.
