I can't help but grin.

Although, it did seem like you almost off handedly ignored the girl, even though she was part of the trick. you could have worked with her a little more ;)

You mentioned that you were too low on your forces and I have to agree about that.

For the first spectator (the girl) you did not give the procedure of reading her mind a method it came off too easy.

With the second spectator you did not really even 'try' to read his mind like you did with the girl. I would have hesitantly got the colour and maybe even the suit before going onto water mark. You also rushed the reveal of the card on the napkin I felt, considering you told him he was going to be difficult.

The fact that you had a perfect condition napkin in your pocket may have also flagged a few warning bells even on a sub-conscience level, as nobody does that. However, if you had scrunched it up in your pocket like you used it prior and there was no bin around it would be more accepted.

I personally liked it good job. Just get the girl more involved next time, and maybe have the napkin under the cup or something just somewhere so it looks less setup, but overall I really liked it.

Your performance was really AWESOME. It's a good idea to combine a mind reading trick with watermark.

I just think that you vere going too fast on the girl's card revelation. When i'm doing mind reading, i first receive a color (red/black), then i say that it can be diamonds/hears or clubs/spades but that i don't receive this information. Then, i'm feeling that their card is a low/high card, probably (or not) a picture card. Then i reveal that the card is (let's say the of hearts) a five... the five of hearts, yes, the five of hearts.


At the beginning i'm receiving a trouble information, because saying that their card is red is simply 26 chances out of 52. Then i'm getting closer to their card when approaching the value of their card. Next, I enounce the value and to finish, I find their very card.



Sorry for my english, i'm french.

I thought the video was incredible! Props to whoever was filming. Also, I really appreciate the fact that whenever the effect was over you still got their reaction on film. I admire the fact that when the effect was over, you just remained silent and let the reaction build. Great performance all together, you really understand showmanship! I subscribed to your videos just now!

Mind reading for one shouldn't be played off as an easy thing, there must be some sort of condition that makes it happen. It doesn't just happen. But if you're just a magician doing mind reading stuff then thats what they generally do.

It makes it look like a trick. You should know this from your reaction you received from spectator number one.

And you didn't even try to present anything in that performance, you just did tricks. Did you think it was a good performance? I didn't.

Where was the zeal? The emotion? Where was the purpose of what you performed?

Hellz yeah.

Quoted for truth. I cant state my opinion here since I dont do mentalist related things :/.
 
If you were playing that off as a mentalism effect then i advise you to think through your patter.

Give them some a story to hook onto. I felt that there wasnt a point. You were jumping from stage to stage too often.

But its nice that you did some street. I clap to that.

Everyone else has said everything so there isnt much to say. TP...

Mikk.
