Psiwave

THE BLURB:
Welcome to PsiWave, a small collection of semi-related
mental effects, and also a semi-detailed examination of the
mysterious topic known as

The Magician’s Choice.

This 44 page manuscript includes
7 effects, plus a set of 5 Jumbo ESP Cards.

In addition, there is a chapter that dissects a standard
example of Equivoque in a step-by-step manner—thus creating
a basic guide that is not only thorough, but also
user-friendly.

Learn to identify common mistakes, and also how to correct
them.

Learn to focus not only on what to say, but also on what not
to say.

MY COMMENTS:
This is a fairly thorough exploration of equivoque in
general and using this technique with a set of five ESP
cards in particular. It's an intriguing combination and
makes for a fascinating read, and also for some invaluable
insight into the technique of equivoque. I know that some
may be turned off by the use of cards, despite them being
ESP cards and not playing cards, but it's the discussion and
principles that is what's important. Several of these
routines can certainly be applied to other objects besides
ESP cards. Besides the title routine, the others are
Reversing the Flow, the Hole Card, Nebulous Ambiguity,
Isolation, Starstruck, and Circle of Signs. There is also
additional material on PsiWave and a section with closing
thoughts.

I've always liked Rick's writing as he takes the time to
explain the history, nuances, and subtleties of each
routine, not to mention that he challenges the reader to
mold each routine into his/her own unique performance. I
enjoyed this immensely and recommend it. This 44-page
book comes complete with five Jumbo ESP cards, which do
have special qualities which are discussed in the book.
