Yep. Both of those two guys are super sharp - I can definitely attest to that. And they both were quite impressed.
Me too (or three, in this case). Elliott |

Another beautifully constructed routine from Sudo. Excellent.

Hey guys,
So I have had a chance to read it over twice, and try it out as well. The pdf is well written, and everything is very clearly explained. Sudo has done a great job on this routine as well as the engaging presentation, that feels real. It is one thing to read it, but it is another thing to have it performed for you over Skype with Sudo. I called Sudo last night, and I asked him to show me the routine, since I wanted to see it done live over video. He went ahead with his presentation as if I was a layman, and when he guessed the two numbers even though I was already aware of what was going on, though I had only read the pdf once, he still managed to slay me, and I had him do it again for me. This routine kills! It killed me! I am sure it will be a lot of fun performing as well. It is impossible to backtrack, due to the presentational structure and nature that Sudo has developed, so even the smartest person wont be able to figure it out. I have my dice and will always carry them with me from now on, so I can do this effect. I believe, for me anyway, even though I knew what was going on, there is a moment in the routine where the spectator believes the effect is over, and they relax, and then Sudo hits you over the head with the number revelations on both dice....its like even though I knew what was coming, I forgot the method behind the 1st part, and that is why it slayed so hard when it came time for the revelations.....so in actuality, people don't stand a chance, even magicians, though it may seem they have the method, they wont......just ask Elliot B, and his friends, as well as other magicians that Sudo has performed this for. This is easy to do, strong, killer, no filler, and will always be ready to go when you need it. Worker material. Cant wait to hear what Sudo has in the pipeline next.......for those that like ACAAN's have Sudo show you Area52.......killer ACAAN....and easy to do as well. That was my first introduction to Sudo's work long ago when I purchased it. Anyway, worth the asking price, and you are supporting one of the good guys in the business as well as getting top grade A material for your repertoire. Thanks Alex Alejandro

Wow - so he had even read the method and it still fooled him. That sounds about right with this.

I am going to perform it tonight for a bunch of high end executives at my gig that I have coming up in a few hours.
Will report back tonight with reactions and thoughts. I did it for my wife and for my friend, yesterday, and it killed, now to perform it in front of real world audiences. Stay tuned.........putting it to the test.......should be fun. Alex

One word: WORKER!
I did it all night long......during the whole gig, at every table. And these are a bunch of scientist types, so yeah......one guy came up to me afterwards and told me he had an idea on the method, but had no idea how I managed to tell him the numbers on the dice. He then saw the trick a second time, and followed me, and the result was a different one, so for him I altered my presentation since I knew what he was looking for, and it flew right by him. This routine simply works. Thanks Sudo Alex

So I read the description by Last Laugh. I vaguely remembered an old Sudo routine that had a similar outline. I dug it up and read it. It sounded almost identical up to a certain point.
So I confirmed with Sudo and he indeed confirmed to me that my thoughts are correct. Guess what, I figured out the whole procedure (and method) up to the final reveal which is where I did not know how to move forward. I played with dice and try to work it out to no avail. And finally today, I was able to purchase it. And I am so glad I did!! Even for someone like me (an engineer) who was familiar with the workings, there was a little brick wall that needed more research and finesse. Well, Sudo saved me the time and effort. He even handles the "finesse aspect" elegantly. Reading the manuscript, I can see the 'asking price' being justified given the research, structuring, and the in depth analysis of what is going on. This is not a routine you will do 5 minutes after reading the manuscript simply because it has a lot of working pieces that need to mesh beautifully. It is not hard by any means, just a coherent piece that pays attention to detail. The routine is just brilliant!! This is really some of the best thinking on an impromptu mentalism piece. Every thing is well justified. And here is the beautiful thing about it. If you use some of the more expensive gizmos, this routine will save you when one is not around. Even better, this routine can incorporate that for some amazing hard hitting mentalism. As for this being mathematical, well, this involves numbers so one might say that it is mathematical, but the mathematics stops at some point and the routine just throws it out the window. I am not interested in the mathematics debate as I believe everything in life is 'mathematical' but the common perception watching this routine unfold beautifully cancels out methods in the head of the spectators. I will be using this from now as I already know how well it plays (and the reviews preceding mine already show that it is a worker)!! Simply put, I LOVE IT!!! Well done Sudo!!! |

I am sure if you have read this thread you already know how good this effect is. Plus Sudo puts out clever and engaging routines worth performing. I agree with all that has been said. I had the routine for awhile and did not have the dice to practice. It is much simpler with the dice and learning the structure and presentation comes pretty easily.
The overall highlights of this routine is that it cannot be backtracked. It is always ready to go, takes up no space in your pocket, gimmick free and is one of those mentalism effects with no false notes and seems like real mentalism. By that I mean that if you could really read minds, this presentation might be something you would do to demonstrate your power. It is also user friendly in that you can do it quickly or stretch it out and the script is an informative lesson about aspects of mind reading that your spec will appreciate. You can also interweave this into other mind reading effects, variations of which hand routines, numerology readings, dice routines, |

!!!! (See? prediction 100% correct! Pretty good, eh? )
Adrien you *could* be correct. That said, this has been performed for numerous knowledgeable performers who have been in this art for decades and they couldn't backtrack it. So far, it hasn't happened. Even performers who know the method were thrown off of it because the way the routine is structured and the extra bits of built-in psychological smoke. But this was never designed to "fool" performers anyways. It was designed to mystify non-magical folk. The fact that it happens to bamboozle Mystery performers as well is just a nice cherry on the top and the mark of a well-constructed routine. |

I'll just chime in and say that I've also bought this from Sudo now (but I had to do it off-site, because the online shop wouldn't work for me), and I think it is very elegant. I haven't had time to practise it yet, I've only read the manuscript a couple of times (on the plane on a business trip). I can see that it will (probably) take me some time to learn it properly (not because it's very difficult, but remembering the required paths through the routine will not come all by itself, at least not for me).
He's obviously put a lot of effort into it, so I'd say the price is justified. |

Sudo lives in a very high stress environment. I have spoken with him and know this to be true. If he disappears for a while it is most likely nothing to worry about. I will not ever talk about what he has shared with me, though others know. Just give him some space and time and he will return.

The more I mess around with a pair of dice the more impressed I get with the sound of this routine. For full disclosure I know nothing about the workings of this routine and I'm in no way affiliated with pseudo other than him adding and blocking me probably two or three times in the last year hahaha!

I'm a bit better now. I can't deal with the "outside" world for extended periods of time and needed to take a "time out" after spending nearly a week of being highly interactive with others with the release of this. I had some unknown individual harassing me here through PM's and across multiple email addresses under a variety of names and aliases and it was causing my mind to short circuit and go completely bonkers and distrust everything and everyone to the point of delusion. When this happens, I go into "shut-down" mode and will block the entire world at whatever cost. This is also why I "friend", and then "unfriend and block" people all the time. I can't collect "friends" on Facebook or I go haywire - I simply cannot deal with that many people on my list...and especially if you never interact with me on that platform.
It has been my lifelong experience that "normies" associate mental illness with people of low intelligence or mental retardation etc, and this simply isn't true. People see that I am highly intelligent, yet fail to realize that I don't arrive at the same mental connections that others do because my brain is hard-wired differently. Therefore, they expect to me to function (and think) like they do because there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with me on the surface. Whether I like it or not, it is both a blessing and a curse. Believe me, there's many times when I wish I could just be one of those people who is content to put square pegs in square holes all day long and be oblivious to everything - like Forrest Gump. However, the nature of my illness causes me to see and notice patterns intensely - very intensely, among other things. To the point that I go mad sometimes because I can't stop seeing them in everything and where they overlap and how they are all related. I have tried my entire life to explain these things to people but nobody sees them...it's like they can't get their eyes to focus properly to allow them to see the magic 3-D puzzle. In the end, I face constant ridicule and left feeling completely alienated. I can't even speak anymore. I have to make up lies to just be able to carry on a "normal" conversation (to appear normal) because there's nothing for me to say...I don't live in the same world as everyone else, and truth be told, I hate it here because I have never belonged anywhere no matter how hard I have tried. See? I try to explain to people and it just makes me look more crazy for doing so. There's nothing I can do. I can try to explain things until I'm blue in the face and it's just a lesson in futility. Nobody can understand and they still expect me to rationalize and think as they do. It's like imagining what it might feel like to give birth to a child. There's just absolutely no way I could ever really know what that's like as a male. It's the same situation with me trying to understand how "normal" people think and rationalize - and vice-versa. I apologize that I'm such a mess sometimes. I don't mean to be, but I have nobody in my life and generally don't even see another human being for 5 or 6 weeks at a time. It is always "me vs the world". Ever since I got clean from addiction it has been this way. I write now, because that's all I have left. |

I applaud you for being so open and honest with your challenges. I think we're living in a time where it's extremely helpful for individuals like yourself to be open about it. It helps the rest of us to understand a little better and be more accommodating and compassionate.
And it especially helps others to not feel so alone. I'm definitely grateful for you.
