Taken From Two
Posted on May 01, 2008
"Basically, I took two concepts from a couple of masters in mentalism - Richard Osterlind and Kenton Knepper - and put them together for this effect."

It was great, but the build up was great and all for a not so great "Hehehe, yeah..." reaction. I thought it would be stronger. AH well, 4/5.

Pretty good but the reveal of the card was a little boring.

Neat effect. I would touch up the presentation a bit though, it seems a little choppy.

What Osterlind and Knepper principles are you using?

Awesome effect!

Its a shame you said "let me guess..." as you revealed the card. You built up the presentation on a premise of possible psychological influence yet the words you chose to say as you revealed the card in my opinion, suggest albeit very subtly that the effect was mind reading.

It is important to clearly define the effect you are presenting. This may be one of the reasons for the slightly weak reaction. Also i feel that you did not fully sell the conditions under which the effect took place.

There are a few other things i'd like to mention, such as an extra subtlety that can make this routine alot stronger but does require more work

I like it! I myself perform a similar effect. I keep Kollasal Killers as a seperate routine.

But another way to go (the way I perform it) hand one spectator an invisible deck to hold out in full view the entire time, preferable another color. Then hand the other person the BCS deck. Do the same routine but once you know the card, they don't even have to say it out loud. Have them concentrate on the card and they say I made a prediction before coming out today, yadda yadda yadda Invisible deck.

Same basic principle but I always like the option of getting more people directly involved when I can.
Great job though!

hmm... never thought of that. I like that idea. I've just always been rather apprehensive about handing a spectator a gimmicked deck, though...

That uses Richard Osterlinds Breakthrough Card System. Its an amazing stack with a million possibilities. Chris Angel even used it a while back. Its much better than Kevin Parkers from what I have heard of his effect.
