The Product:
This is a review of John Barratt's new PDF: OCD, meaning Obbsessive Compulsive Disorder
This is being sold only through John, and will be sent ot within 24 hours of ordering as a pdf manuscript.
It can only be purchased by sending payments to: eternalkaos@hotmail.co.uk via paypal.
The PDF is 25$. (Which is WAY under priced.)
Marking system: x/10: the rating. the higher the better
Difficulty: x/y/10: 'y' will be either one or zero. one means that there is lengthy setup or an uncommon gimmick.
The Effects:
K-Bend - A nice and cheap, readily available keybending
gimmick along with John's routine using it.
--K-bend is so ingenious. and I envy John for coming up with it. but anyways. it is a great routine. and the only reason I won;t use it is because I don;t have any keys I can bend.
Difficulty: 6/0/10: It takes practice...There is a gimmick, but it's common.
Effect: 6/10: It's a great effect, and best fit for a whole routine. not a stand alone effect.
Intuition-X - A demonstration of intuition... or that of
influence/mind control.
--- This is a very simple, but hardhitting effect. many different presentations.
difficulty: 5/0/10 - Easier than K-bend, but will still take practice
effect: 8/10 Very powerful if presented right.
mind step - A thought of card under shoe
-- Nice, simple routine with an original handling for it;s use I'll definately be using this.
Difficulty: 4/0/10 - You need a deck of cards, and to know the routine and another two moves.
Evil Intent - A piece focusing on the emotion of hate... also
includes a completely impromptu and propless version.
--Wow. This one is dangerous. I've been looking for a good Russian Roulette but they were either too expensive, or not my style. This one is both affordable AND my style. But IT IS DANGEROUS. I WARN YOU NOW!!
Difficulty: 6/0/10 - you MUST practice this., there is nothing extra other than the props the spec sees.
Effect: 8/10: Very workable for closeup, or stage
A picture is worth... - A book test... can be used for predicting
pretty much anything you want, as long as you have the skill to
achieve it.
-- An great mentalism effect. you can make it so that you predicted the thought of word a few hours ago, to months, or years. Now, this effect is worth about half of the PDF itself. I'm not a mentalist, but if I were, I'd probably use this. it looks like real magic!
difficulty: 8/1/10 : there is a bit of pre show word, and a bit of work do be done and a few slieghts during the routine.
effect: 9/1
Inside your mind... inside my shoe - A demonstration of
influence and character reading.
Great method, but I won;t use it. Not because it's not good. but not my style. anyways...
difficulty: 6/0/10: requires practice and some sleights.
effect: 5/10: In my opinion, the worst effect in the book. but still very nice.
V-Doo - A weird experience that they won’t soon forget.
--V-doo is a n AMAZING routine. It is worth the same, if not more. It is a lot like the effect Wounded ( coming out by Paper crane Productions.) But is much more impacting. All I can say is that it is amazing.
Note: This is NOT Wounded. This is much different in feeling, and the overall effect.
Difficulty: 3/1/10: easy, but risky
Effect: 10/10 It's is so powerful....
C-Bend - A signed coin bend.
--The basic method is not all that original. but still very powerful. there are multiple versions taught.
difficulty: 8/1/10: there are a bit of iffy parts method wise. but great none-the-less
effect: 8/10: Very powerful if performed properly.
Overall
This PDF is a MUST BUY. The effects are killer, and the methods amazing., V-doo is definately not supposed to be in here. it is just too good....
9.5/10. That is not an average. Just the effects, methods and presentation of the booklet are amazing
