THE BLURB:
Looch is an innovator and creator, he utilizes both new and
classic techniques to achieve mind reading demonstrations
that are in a class of their own, he has consulted with some
of the leading mind readers and mentalists around the world
and performs at select events in the UK and Europe.

What you will see on this twin DVD set running over two
hours are real performances for real people, in fact five
students who have never met Looch until the very first
demonstration. Filmed on location in the dark depths of
Eastwell Manors cellars the atmosphere is perfect, the
students quite nervous and Looch ready to perform the
impossible.

Twelve dynamic routines for close up, parlor or stage:

A question of time
The perfect opener with a borrowed watch, a random time is
set and you are able to reveal it.

How is that done?
Is it possible for a participant to read your thoughts, in
this demonstration you project a random time in to their
minds?

Intuitive Aiii
A diabolical perception & memory demonstration using a pack
of playing cards that is incredibly easy to do. Even Raymond
Babbitt (The Rain Man) would be impressed.

Wake up Dr Rhine
Quite simply one of the best 3 phase ESP routines available.

The Influencer
Looch demonstrates the ability to influence a participant to
draw exactly what you want.

Nod to pocket watch
Is there such a thing as freewill, are your choices your own
or are you being directed subconsciously?

R.V. Protocol
A demonstration of remote viewing, phase 1 you predict how
many fingers a participant will hold up. Phase 2 the
participant mixes a deck of cards face up and face down and
you name every face up card, not only that but you also name
them in order with your back turned.

Psychological foresight
Under test conditions a playing card is selected, it would
be something to just divine the card but with this routine
you prove you knew way in advance.

P5YCHOM3TR1
A brilliant twist on the classic Sneak Thief effect that you
will use.

Psycolorgy
What do colors really represent, can we predict the choices
made based purely on color. A fantastic 2 phase packs small
plays big routine with a killer ending.

The collector
Demonstrate remote viewing, divine unseen images and reveal
the killer climax.

The hustler
A wonderful routine based on a psychological game of pool
where the outcome is totally predicted.

Running Time Approximately 2hrs

MY COMMENTS:
Though there's nothing new in terms of technique or
principles, Looch has put together some very strong,
practical, and useable routines that I found refreshingly
effective for the working professional.  Many of these
routines use playing cards or some other type of cards and I
know that's a turnoff for some.  Also, all of the routines
are for close-up or parlour because they involve some type
of cards, however a few can be adapted to the stage.

Some of the effects that I particularly like include
"Psycolorgy" which uses different colored cards.  "The
Collector" involves cards with drawings on them which are
freely chosen and duplicated by the performer. "Intuitive
aiii" is a card effect that demonstrates card memory.  "Wake
Up Dr. Rhine" is a very strong ESP card routine which uses
one bold move to accomplish most of the routine.  "The
Hustler" uses a classic control technique to predict the
outcome of a game of pool.  This is just a sampling.

What each of these routines have in common is that Looch has
constructed each into a very strong routine with a
beginning, middle, and strong finish.  Each routine has two
or more phases and each builds to a logical end.  Looch
certainly demonstrates that he has the skill to put together
a solid routine and that's another strong reason to get
this.

This 2-disc set also includes explanations with an assist by
Marc Spelmann and Peter Nardi.  The fact that these strong
routines play close-up and that most involve cards of some
sort is certainly a consideration in your purchasing
decision.  If that's your cup of tea, then you definitely
want to check out this DVD set.
