THE BLURB:
Sean Waters - author of Ponderings - "Games People Play" is
yet another beautiful pagaent of ideas from Iain Dunford.
"Mind Cell". It is inspired by Koran, Nyman and Shaw, and is
Iain's wonderful take on the "Medallion" effect. What's
more; this medallion makes sense. This is a fantastic
premise and idea, and once again is a wonderfully commercial
routine.
Thom Bleasdale - creator of the Tommy pad - "The whole thing
is a collection of excellent effects, with great plots,
fantastic audience interaction and really strong results. It
is wonderful."
David Meade - "Hangman is a timeless nostalgic throwback,
conjuring up memories and presentational angles that the
mentalist should always strive to invoke. I plan to use much
of his thoughts as presented here, and am delighted it's
being released."
The Psychic Hangman
MindCell
Crossed Thoughts
Postabulations
MY COMMENTS:
Iain presents a quartet of intriguing ideas (actually more
than that if you consider that Psychic Hangman has several
variations). Some of the routines and ideas explore the
theme of games - hangman, crossword puzzles (The Psychic
Hangman, Crossed Thoughts). Postabulations is a
Confabulation variation using Post-It Notes. Within these
routines, there's nothing new in terms of principles, so
you'll be disappointed if you're looking for those, but
Iain's work contains solid thinking and intriguing plots.
This 43-page book is available as a downloadable e-book or
as a soft-cover paperback (which is slightly higher, natch).
