Review: Split by EVM

This really isn’t a good product, it’s not a very impressive effect to begin with, and even after you’ve paid for the trick itself, you’ll need to pay more to make the gimmicks. The gimmicks needed to make this will…

CRIB! The Art of Hidden Info by Richard Osterlind - cover

Even if the bonus section at the end wasn’t included, this little book would still be well worth picking up by anybody interested in mentalism and/or magic. There are loads of ideas on where and how to use cribs. But…

Review: Darkwave ESP by Adam Cooper

Why are people saying this is an excellent product? It’s bloody terrible. Not only does it not add anything new, it actively detracts from what it’s pretending to be. The reason Zener cards use the designs we are all used…
