<<I'm here as a creator to answer people's questions about the product and help them figure out is this a right fit for them.>>

I will echo this statement as it sadly is not for me. I'm disappointed Jonannes no longer has the "BTbonus" material available, but it was bound to happen. Just my own opinion. If anyone is on the fence, I would recommend looking for the original. To me, it's like a sneak preview to the show.

Hey everyone!

I'm choosing 10 people from this community to who I will show the full performance of the whole system who then can come back here and report what they saw and what's their opinion about it.

The respected reviewers in the Cafe like MadisonH, BMWGuy, canaday all have already shared their opinion about what they saw, but now I'm looking for regular customers and casual performers who are interested in the product.

I'm looking for 2 types of people who love the plot. If you are interested, then leave a comment and also let me know which group are you:


1) People who own my previous release Breakthrough
2) People who own some other product in the plot so they are able to compare TBS to what they already own, but they don't know me and have never bought anything from me before, so they have no bias.

When I have selected 10 people then we are going to have a live watch party together and hangout a bit and you can ask me any questions you want.

This is gonna be fun! Who's in?

I'm up for it. My first posts to this thread were as a skeptic, but I fear I've now spent too much time defending you and this product launch for my review to be seen as objective.

I pre-ordered weeks ago. Haven’t read this thread so I’m not sure what all the drama is about, but I’ll share my thoughts once it gets released.

I’ve recently bought the original Breakthrough system which is great, and happy to take a look at the full performance.

Hi Johannes,
I have been intrigued by the goings on of this product, so count me in. I have never bought a product of yours nor have any unique connection to you. This would likely compare loosely to Healed and Sealed, which by the way I contributed a subtlety to, and which was used by David Blaine.

As suggested by lunatik I am willing and able to give an unbiased and careful review.
Please check regularly if you are becoming the type of magician Jerry Seinfeld jokes about. (This applies to mentalists as well.)

You are in! Will send a message once I have the whole group together!

Some feedback for the system I haven't shared here yet:

Quote:
“So clever, so devious- each phase is better than the next. This isn't just a quick trick - it's a full fledged routine!” - DAN WHITE



Quote:
“What Johannes has done is completely revolutionary in every sense of the word. Every method was like WOW, WOW, WOW - layer upon layer genius level thinking. It’s really hard to get that kind of reaction from me, because I have seen so much magic. It’s very rare to be able to do magic that powerful anywhere, anytime with a borrowed item, which I can do for the rest of my life. I would have paid $500 to learn the whole system. This is one of the coolest, innovative and practical pieces of street magic I’ve ever seen. Johannes Mengel is a creative genius.” - LLOYED BARNES

I'm happy to wait for the release and share thoughts then, but would be glad to help look at flow/scripting/layout of the instructions early if desired. I'm not a professional magician, but I am a full-time educator!

I own/perform Healed & Sealed as well as a few coin through can effects (including the Criss Angel version, that is not a brag btw).

I've also already pre-purchased The Breakthrough System through your website.

As such, I'm happy to be included on your list, if there is still room.

Here is an example of a book review I did a few years back, for reference: https://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/sear......=9567372

You’re trying too hard. Finish your project and release it. You’ve hyped it enough. Magicians always line up for the “latest and greatest”. Just my .02. Worth what you paid for it…

Couldn't agree more. Talk about posting the same message over and over and over.......it's now getting old.

Yep… Also I’m really struggling to see how this can beat Sinful or Capture (ok there is a very small preparation for Capture… but well worth it visually…). Curious to hear from other reviewers (especially if they can compare it to those two effects).
