MY COMMENTS:
Jack's books are always packed with loads of ideas and
practical effects which get your creative juices flowing and
your excitement itching to perform them. This is the next
released book in his Collector's Edition Series (TRIO was
the first) and it focuses on mentalism that can be done in
walk-around situations.

Obviously, there are a variety of effects in here and some
you'll use, some you'll be intrigued with, and some may give
you an itch because the methodology bothers you. That's par
for a book like this which is filled with solid ideas and
routines. There are four sections, including one that
contains routines from performers besides Jack, and the
sections contain effects using a variety of props. Also,
Jack has included quite a few essays about performing
mentalism and getting started in mentalism.

Oh, to be fair, I should remind everyone that you're more
than welcome to take what I say with a little bit of salt,
since I've been helping Jack format and edit his books for
mass publication. So, I may be a little biased towards this
material, but I'm fairly certain that if I was to read this
and not have worked with Jack, I'd say the say thing and
still highly recommend it.
