Reviews

"Secret Passages Vol. 1 is an incredible collection of amazing methods in mentalism!
I highly recommend this creation by Andreu and Ever Elizalde."

"Andreu has come up with another p**k envelope. You will have to do some arts and crafts plus - but once made it will last and can be used over and over.He also provides various ways to get the peek. Within the book you also get a ploy to make it seem like a spectator can change their mind after you know their information, and a funny routine based on the Maven's Kurotsuke effect.

There is a routine using marked ESP cards by Andreu and Ever's take on Maven's Positive/Negative idea which ends with a prediction of something the spectator said earlier in the routine. Along with the effects you get two essays on mentalism and performance from both Andreu and E.E. I think there's enough variety in this book that there's something for everyone."
