MY COMMENTS:
I had a discussion with Dan Harlan about my Greetings of the
Mind and he told me that he's a mentalist at heart. Whether
or not one agrees with him, this certainly is an incredible
contribution to mentalism and, specifically, to those
wishing to do a two-person code. His system is very easy
and based in a standard code that you may already know. He
does have a very clever memory system for the basic work on
this.
I had to try this out, so I taught my oldest son this
system. At the time of this writing, he's fourteen. It
took him about five minutes to learn and five minutes of
practice. We then did a brief routine for his younger
brother, who was quite frustrated that he couldn't figure
out what was going on. On the DVD, to show how easy it is,
Harlan even teaches a newbie the basic system in five
minutes.
Included on this DVD, which is over two hours, is a complete
description of the system. To be clear, the explanation
takes only a few of those minutes to explain. The rest of
the DVD comprises Harlan and his partner, Jen Weston, going
to a county fair and doing all sorts of psychic stunts using
this sytem and demonstrating how this is done.
A good majority of this disc comprises a stage show. Harlan
and Weston perform a fun stage show, which is nearly 30
minutes. It contains divination of thought-of colors,
names, numbers, and drawings, among others. Afterwards,
Harlan and Weston explain it all. And the DVD contains
templates to print out all the necessary props for the stage
show (such as cleverly designed jumbo ESP cards and picture
cards), plus flashcards to use with your partner to aid in
learning.
As the title suggests, the code is contained within the
words that the sender is giving to the receiver. Harlan has
made sure that this is not complicated, it is easy-to-do,
and it is fun to do. If you've seen the fast-paced two
person code act that the Evasons do, I can say that their
style requires lots of practice and memorization to do well.
This system is not designed for that, but it's an excellent
and highly recommended starting point for anyone who'd like
to start performing the two-person code act.
