It has already been said many times, even by many people, it is not a pass of any kind. Plain and simple. I'm sure you believe you know, but you are incorrect. As I said before, you think you know, but are not right. The reviews speak for themselves. It is interesting that the people who...

To those who wished to see a slower, cleaner handling: Here you go. This is also a full unedited performance. http://www.thementalplayground.com/dropslow.html

It might seem "movey" because of the added shake I put in it. To be clear, NO movement is needed. Also, as some have speculated, this is not a pass. Sound on this is minimal, even completely gone with practice. I will add into the demo a slow version of Drop. I can tell you this is not...

Hey Christian, Might I suggest Phantom Band 360. It is a totally impromptu band thru bill effect, no gimmicks, and can be performed in the round. Hence the "360" title. Similar effects cannot do that. http://www.thementalplayground.com/phantomband.html Here is a link to a review thread, with...

Thanks. Glad you liked it. And that second effect, as I said before, is nothing groundbreaking.....but it looks good to layman.

Back in July I posted a video in the media section and got many great responses. http://media.theory11.com/2245-theMINT I thought I would upload a larger and higher quality version: http://www.thementalplayground.com/mint.html And here is another little thing I've been working on...

I just want to make clear that these effects in the "SESSIONS" series are not intended or promised to be ground breaking or earth shattering. These effects are solid tried and true pieces of material. Michael is a talented real world worker , who has graced the close-up room at The Magic Castle...

FYI, This effect was created by Kevin James. He then showed it to Copperfield who then put it into his show. This was years ago.

Hi Noah, This info hasn't been really released yet, but us over at Mental Playground Productions will be releasing a custom deck, and no not another "black" deck, but something usable with a standard deck of bikes. And with that, there will be an opportunity to obtain an uncut sheet. Brian

Here is a version you might be interested in. It uses no gimmicks, and is impromptu. It can also use a borrowed deck. Heres a review by Cliff Bumgardner http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?t=15557&highlight=edge http://www.thementalplayground.com/onedge.html

Yes it was a great session. Even after 2 hours Mike left them wanting more. I think we just might have to host a round 2...

From Michael Paul: There's nothing to buy or sign up for... just a free on-line magic chat being hosted by our friends over at itricks.com (a great source for magic news updates). The juicy details: Very simple... just jump on-line and visit itricks.com at 9pm tonight (EST). That's...

What effect would I perform with a borrowed bill? Phantom Band 360 of course! Impromptu gimmickless band and bill penetration. http://www.thementalplayground.com/phantomband.html

I understand that part, but they did all this for one person? I figured there would be more people to go through.

Banachek said that was only a preliminary test....so does anyone know when or if they will be showing the actual tests?

JB, I did the exact same thing. A lot of very good music. The, "We are the World" video is amazing, as was his "30th Anniversary" TV special with his brothers. Such a great performer.

Yes, Michael was a very big fan of magic. I grew up in Southern California and lived minutes from Disneyland. There was more then 1 occasion where I would be inside Disneyland and come to find out Michael Jackson was at the magic shop there, buying 1 or 2 of everything. I bought my first...

And just to make this point clear, this wont be another "black deck" or anything completely out of place looking (skulls, demonic images etc..). This is something that everyone can and will use.

A gaff deck or card is either specially printed or prepared in such a way that it allows effects that a normal card or deck cannot. On that subject.....keep your eyes open for something new from us at Mental Playground Productions.

I don't think it will release tonight. At most I think we will get the release date, or a clue to its release date, and another teaser video "Second".
