My opinion:
29 page eBook, well edited, with colored photographs for better explanation.
In here you will find 3 structured routines and various interesting psychological techniques for "Roshambo" , "Which hand?" and "How many Fingers?".
This work is more suitable for casual demonstration of mindreading, in a framing of experimentation and playing. With this I dont say that you cant work this for professionals, but due the psychological nature of various techniques, they are not foolproof, thus you will not always have a dramatic conclusive result. If you are a competent performer you can take this ideas and make it work, being flexible and using other back-up methods if something goes in a non-predictable manner.
My favorite was the first effect for "Rock-Paper-Scissors", which it??s naturally framed as a game. This allows you to create a relax environment around the performance and a framing that gives you the opportunity to be casual with your methods and even fail without any worry.
Thaddius also adds several additional application for the techniques applied in the routines and small ideas that you can integrate in your own repertoire.
The influence of Kenton and Peter Turner is clear in the thinking that you can find in here, so be prepare to invest in your performance??s abilities to make this ideas work. You will not fin in "Omniscient" gimmicks or secret moves, rather clever words, psychological attitudes and opportunistic techniques.
Rate: 7.5/10
I like this product, although I feel that it could cover more variety of routines and other psychological finesses, but overall a nice introduction into the mind of someone who clearly has an interesting point of view, in which psychological methods are framed in a mindreading performance.
