MY COMMENTS:
This is the latest issue featuring a new regular column by
Banachek, which debuted in the previous episode (#17). In
this issue, Banachek discusses the importance of simple peek
in general. And, specifically, as it regards to playing
cards. He presents an outstanding mentalism routine with
cards that can be done with a borrowed deck of cards. There
are some very basic sleights involved, but it's quite
powerful.

Another mentalism related column is by by Wayne Kawamoto in
which he reviews Barrie Richardson's DVD set and Wayne
Dobson's new set. Wayne Dobson is not known for being a
mentalist, but he's created some pretty good mentalism
effects and props, a few of which are on the set.

The rest of the contents of this disc are the expected
variety and includes coin magic, kid magic, card magic, the
spotlight on Kostya Kimlat, etc. These "episodes," as they
call it, are a lot of fun.
