Review: How to read minds volume 2 czcams.com/video/xEjcY1MB6S8/video.html
The videos alone are worth the price. He'll often go off topic and give you valuable insight so make sure to pay attention!
agreed ....
9:28 what did magic orthodoxy say?
Great review, thanks for taking the time to share. I honestly never heard of peter turner but now I can’t get enough of him. Such a well spoken and honest person. I think I may just have to pick this up.
I actually knew you were going to upload this video... A reading of the minds, if you will...👍
LOL
Love this set, I would recommend it for anyone looking at mentalism, the props are worth the money as a starter.
agreed
The tip about using the switch wallet as a ditchable crib is exactly the kind of thinking Peter Turner wants you to do when developing your routines.
yep
I wasn’t interested in this until I saw the review! Now it’s on my Christmas list! Hope you have a great upcoming holidays!
Glad to help
Got my kit on Thursday. Very happy with it as this is my first time adding mentalism into my card magic routine. Tested it out at a work outing today and absolutely got insane reactions. While the props are a great value for the price I paid, so far Peter's teaching is the best thing about this. One of the propless tricks he reveals as something fairly unique to him got the best reactions by far. For a beginner, the explanation is worth the price of admission alone.
agreed
Great review! I ordered this for Christmas and look forward to diving in.
gnarley
Still eagerly waiting for my kit to come to Vietnam. Thank you very much for the detailed and honest review as always!
Always !!!!
Always very detailed and informative reviews - you are the best David.
I appreciate that!
I never really thought about doing mentalism tricks...until now! Thanks for the review, keep it up!
:D
Looks interesting! I'm putting sleight of hand magic in my music videos!
I got this last week, and I must agree with you... I wasn’t able to find the tutorial, till they emailed me! 😂
All in seriousness, I own quite a good amount of Peter’s work. I haven’t had a chance to watch the ENTIRE thing, but the quality is on point.
I did play around with the apps, and I’ve had some crazy reactions.
I was able to know a strangers birthday, and their pin code.
So yes, this mentalism kit is highly worth it!
I didn't get the apps
Was waiting so long for this video 😊
LOL it JUST came out
Thank you so much for this honest review! Your reviews are always the best. I can tell that you really care about giving your honest opinion on the products you review. Your the reason I picked up How to be a Magician, and you'll probably be the reason I pick up this kit as well haha. Cheers
Thank you so much!
Perfect shirt for the review 👍👍. I just got mine yesterday, but I haven’t opened it yet so I’m looking forward to seeing your review before opening my box & jumping into everything.
awesome !!!!
My go-to reviews. Thanks
THANKS
I was on the fence about picking this up. I’m a beginner and I’m interested, but man do I already have more effects than time to learn them well. Good food for thought on the future though. Thanks for the thorough review.
I have more effects than time to learn them as well
Thank you for your thorough review! You convinced me to buying the product. Ellusionist does offer great high quality products, but I still had my reservations due to the price. Can't wait to get it!
Hope you enjoy it!
Great review, reminds me a bit of the This Is Mentalism series but better as you get the props too
:D
i was waiting for this review thnx david.
awesome
He’s stays on top of things for sure
I just ordered this but I'm not certain how to use the usb card. Any pointers? Is
just came across this ... Ellusionist marketing is very thorough .... Peter Turner is the best .... your review David is very honest and complete 👍🏻👍🏻 .... 32 tricks for $119 = less than $4 a trick (even if you use 1/4 of them, it’s still a no-brainer) .... my order is in ✅
I still go back to this every now and again just to listen to Peter teach
After reading the threads in the magiccafe about this, i finally have read someone who already own this. I was skeptical getting one for myself because of what others in the page are saying. Then it was backed up by this review. I have decided! I am getting my own kit now! Thanks D!
everyone who owns this "that I know" loves it
Some people, while valuable in their own right, are complete putzes. I was extremely disappointed by some of the pro's questions and commentary, seeming to really want to harm this product's success more than anything. For example, the extremely STUPID bitching about the obviously sarcastic and humourous back-of-the-comic-book descriptions on the Kickstarter page. I'm not going to say WHO, but that thread alone has caused me to boycott certain mentalist/magicians. You read it too, so you know exactly which ones. I can't stand them knowing that they talk smack like that about a successful worker / creator who is considerably better than they.
@@KarstenJohansson some of the most mean and hurtful things ever said to me were from the so-called "brotherhood" of magicians.
Yes I saw this on The Ellusionist channel
sweet
I really appreciate this type of thing, it’s an upscale some would even say adult magic kit. I simply like that with all the magic one could buy this allows you to find out if and how you might click with mentalism. It is my belief that mentalism when done well helps magic in general rise up as an art. Thank you for the review and wow where did you find the killer T-shirt lol❣️
Great comment !!!
magicorthodoxy Great review channel❣️
Is it right that i gave the spectator a paper and i have one and ask him to say what he has writren then i would find the word on mine ?
Sorry , I'm not so good at English .
Great in depth review !!!
I almost bought this kit, but at one point i have to stop buying stuff 😅
This looks great, 120 dollars it's a great purchase for anyone who's starting in mentalism.
NEVER STOP BUYING STUFF !!!!!
@@magicorthodoxy That's my problem, i can't STOP 🤣
LOL
Nice review
Thanks !!!!
Great vid
THANKS !!!
I am still undecided whether to buy it or not. For me it is important that the 4-digit credit card PIN trick is a real mentalism trick and not only that thing with a gimmick on a thumb. Can someone help me and tell me if that trick in his kit explains the mentalist version (so without any gimmick)? I´d appreciate it.
I like that shirt, where did you get it.
Cecil
Great review! You convinced me! I just bought it, and I love it! There are so many great things in there. As you say, I know a lot of the methods, but the way Peter performs it, is pure gold. There is just one thing I can't understand. In the trailer for the kit, they say you can't teach someone to read another person, but I don't think Peter is teaching us that trick, and I can't make it fit with any of the methods he's given us. Any one else notice that? :)
it says, " you can't teach someone to read another person?"
@@magicorthodoxy yeah in the trailer: czcams.com/video/zpwhNgbANJw/video.html around 4:49 😊
it says "teach one person how to read somebody else."
@@magicorthodoxy it does, but it looks like that’s a trick, and I Can’t remember Peter teaching us that. I mean he teaches us how to read other people, but that doesn’t seem like something we should teach other people 🤔
Hey Magicorthodoxy
I have a question: I dont know where the trick number 4 of the set is.
I mean the video they uploaded on the Ellusionist Channel with the title Trick Number 4 out of 20
At wich Download i can see the tutorial?
Thanks for replying
please ask Ellusionist - they can help you
Great thorough honest review as usual, David. Maybe you have time to answer my question : I live in France and obviously my spectators speak French. I understand I would not be able to use the Dracula book for instance because it's written in English. Out of the 20 effects, which other ones couldn't I perform before a French audience and would you still recommend I buy this product? Perfectly OK if you can't answer me. Have a great day.
the Dracula book is the only thing in English
@@magicorthodoxy Thanks a lot, David.
Out of curiosity, which ESP cards do you use (and love)? Brilliant review by the way.
Glad you asked - made a review video about it ! czcams.com/video/EC-SwycgaBM/video.html
Does anyone know with any of these magic download videos can you burn them to a DVD?
if you have a DVD burner, a blank DVD and DVD burning software
Great review, David. Question: you mention being able to transfer the videos to your phone - how did you accomplish this?
a data cable and then I drag them across .... I also have a samsung
@@magicorthodoxy Okay - yes, that might make a difference. I'll google how to do this on an IPhone.
Love the t-shirt!
Finally someone noticed !!!!
@@magicorthodoxy Karl Zener and T.A. Waters taught me well. ;)
How many times can the book test be used in a row? Can it be repeated?
I would not
Can I get access to these video online or will this video come in the kit.
only with the kit
I already watched an unboxing video on Pig Cake's channel. But man I must say yours review is the best.
I watched that one also
Burn
@@thestreet9537 ?
I know what you mean peter turner is by far my favorite mentalist I have his penguin lecture but on there he teaches a technique for getting someone’s star sign that’s just a guess so he is too bold I haven’t tried out much of his stuff Bc I thought I would get caught but I backed this and live my kit maybe now I will finally become a mentalist instead of magician who does some mentalism
Another great review David
THANKS !!!!
Hi David, great review. Ordered 😀 May I ask which ESP cards you use? You mentioned in the review that you prefere different ESP cards.
Glad you asked - made a review video about it ! czcams.com/video/EC-SwycgaBM/video.html
magicorthodoxy Wow, thank you 👍🏻
Great review. My opinion of the kit is very high too. I've dabbled in magic for years but never really done any mentalism, and I think this really is a solid product for folks starting out. Did you pick up the apps as well?
no I did not.
I really want this kit are you happy with it?
mine was delivered today too!
Awesome !!!
@@magicorthodoxy Just got the kit and I need help getting to the instructions since my computer doesn't have a micro sd port. Do I need to have a card reader to access the files?
it's a regular USB
can u plz send me the video content of the kit
Hey David, just ordered, can you elaborate on cribs?? As you talked about on video, unfamiliar with it can you point me in the right direction to get GOOD info, thanks HAVE A GOOD HOLIDAY !!
sometimes there is a secret code, or a secret list of words that you need to memorize in order to perform a specific effect - a "crib" is a "cheat sheet" so that you don't need to commit it to memory.
I've been studying and practicing mentalism for more than a decade, and I bought this - because Peter Turner! I have a lot of his books and vids. How To Read Minds just arrived for me this morning, and I was first surprised at the heft of the box. Everything is high quality, and I don't think any spectator would assume they came from a box set. They look like real things everyone already has and uses. As mentioned in the vid, pros will have most or all of the bases covered. But truth be told, a mentalist who doesn't experience glee when trying and using different versions of effects they already know must be boring in real life. For example, I have the Espionage wallet which does almost everything all of the wallets do in the kit. But I really love the quality of these items and look forward to using them. And I don't really want to rely on one wallet for everything, lest people get sick of *seeing* it! And NOBODY teaches mentalism as well as Peter Turner. Nobody. I consider myself pretty advanced, but Turner just oozes technique, and I'd be surprised if I don't learn a few things from this set. At the very least, it'll be a lot of fun. $100 very well spent. (EDIT: Spelling)
great comment
I am thinking about this...
cool
Hey David which one you think will be first to learn.the how to read mind or control mind kit.? I all ready order the books from Turner I think he is one of the mentalist best that I know.
control is much harder
What’s your preferred ESP set? I am a fan of Beyond ESP. Just curious if yours.
Glad you asked - made a review video about it ! czcams.com/video/EC-SwycgaBM/video.html
I bought it but I can't find the tutorial link in the box
it's not on a link, did you watch the video? Your answer is at 3:21
David what do you think bout the usb card as replacement for the physical dvd. I’m really hoping all of magic goes in this direction, that way I can watch it anywhere. Never mind you just said all that. Let’s lobby the distributors to keep publishing in this format! I’m in love with this format. (Hear me sandersfx? Sansminds?) Great review, may just drop the dough on this.
:)
Can we guess people's name and pin code after buying this kit?
hi, I have a question for you..you said the props are very high quality.. I didn't not own any ESP card so i can't compare, but I can say that: my wife immediately saw the m*****gs and understood something strange was there (and actually they are sooooo visible and simple to discover...) AND, most annoying issue, they are absolutely transparent! I mean, i was doing the trick on a white table and when i put the cards on it face down I could clearly see the signs... I had to use a dark mat and lower the light to avoid this issue. i think the trick is very good, the cards are terribly made. which are your thoughts on this? thanks!
I said in my review that I didn't like the ESP cards and was not going to use them
Thanks for the review ,may i ask what are the marked esp cards that you use ?
Glad you asked - made a review video about it ! czcams.com/video/EC-SwycgaBM/video.html
@@magicorthodoxy Great ,thanks a lot
Great review. Have you seen the new version... HOW TO READ MINDS 2? Have you done a tutorial?
not yet - it's still shipping to people
@@magicorthodoxy Is it worth the wait? What is new?
Could you code in the method of the booktest? It looked like mother but I doubt it
I try not to give things away - it's super easy and the book is not examinable
Hi David, can you do a REVIEW of HOW TO READ MINDS 2 also please ???
I will when it comes out - it's still not released
Hi David.
Any chance you can tell me what video has Peter teaching in person..Midas Touch.
Thanks💛
video? I have seen it as a pdf
I'd like to see a Performance & tutorial taught by Pete that would be awesome.
Hey David, I just got my Tutorial Video in my Ellusionist account for the HTRM-Kit. Did you get yours too? I first thought its only on USB now it is in the account too.
I didn't buy mine from "E" - I got mine from Kickstarter
magicorthodoxy Ah okay
can u plz send me the video content of this kit
@magic orthodoxy, I just picked this up. I'm so excited. Question.. can I plug key USB into my smart tv?
if it has a USB port
@@magicorthodoxy yes. Thanks. You'd think most people would know that but I'm a little late to the game. Lol. I appreciate it
brother can u plz send me the video content of the kit
@@UltimateSaiyan czcams.com/video/BznW35zMGNU/video.html
@@eversosleight plz bro if u give me this then it will be a great help for me 🙏
Hey unrelated question here, but are there any videos of you yourself performing any magic? I'd love to see that.
nope, I don't have a camera man .... I film myself on a tripod
Ah, that's a bummer...love your reviews!
Cant stop to the first minute and a half of this video
can't stop?
@@magicorthodoxy can't stop listening*
That music intro KILLS!
Ahhh
What is the switch wallet used for? Is it for impressions? Or i have no idea? Like a z wallet?
No, like a himber wallet
@@magicorthodoxy thank you
peter is a Beast
truth
What do I plug the USB drive into
a computer ... a blue ray player ... a smart tv ....
Do you have to use the peek wallet or the peek envelopes to reveal the numbers on a borrowed bill?
have to? No, you could do it any way you want I guess..... if you have you're own way
@@magicorthodoxy but he teaches you how he does it right?
if you buy the tricks - yes - he teaches you how to do the effects
What if you don’t have a computer how do you get to the tutorial
that would be a question for ellusionist.
I received inject by Greg Rostami for XMAS, and performed it at school. One of the best tricks ever.
Cool !!!
What effects can we do with the bank card?
he gives you three tricks
@@magicorthodoxy so what are effects?
How do you plug in the usb?
Flip it like I show in the video ... and push it in
magicorthodoxy thabks
i may buy it for christmas gift. damn, oredi cheated myself like that during black friday sales...haha
LOL
I need to ask you this, would psypher pro by penguin magic be any different than peter Turner's how to read minds kit?
very different
@@magicorthodoxy which 1 do you recommend honestly
@@magicorthodoxy I have never seen a review by you about psypher pro
@@allenharden6442 PSYPHER IS only one thing - H2RM is an entire KIT! So I will always recommend Peter Turner
@@allenharden6442 its in the member section
Hello hopefully you see my comment. I saw on the website there is a Spanish version of this and an english one any idea if the props in the spanish one are in english aswell? I speak both but i see the spanish is cheaper haha
you saw this on ellusionist?
@@magicorthodoxy yea its called " cómo leer las mentes" for the spanish version
probably cheaper because not as many people want it ... you'd have to ask ELLUSIONIST your question
@@magicorthodoxy well thank you either way! And i love the videos! Just subscribed!
Hallo David, welche markierten ESP Cards benutzt du?
czcams.com/users/shorts89Osn9iGgYQ
Kennst du Eclipse? Und wenn ja, was hältst du davon? Ich suche nach einem System, bei dem ich sofort erkennen kann um welche Karte es sich handelt
Would I be able to open a phone or it must be an iphone ?
it's a made up number that your spectator creates that you call "their phone lock number"
@@magicorthodoxy Thanks for your reply although I didn't undetstand as I'm no native . Love your reviews
Never could afford this...! 😕 But nice set and good review! Thanks mate!
Ask Santa Claus for it
Dear Santa..! 😁😂
Just keep working dont ask for shhh
David, is the teaching different than his masterclass or any of his live lectures?
yes - much more beginner
@@magicorthodoxy Thanks!
@@magicorthodoxy IS DARREN BROWN USING THESE THINGS THAT YOU MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO?
@@hariprasadv3339 Derren Brown has certainly used swami gimmicks in the past yes. But some of Derren’s stuff is more advanced and direct. If you want to be like Derren, here are some products you should 100% look at!
- Proteus by Phedon (the cleanest propless drawing duplication ever created)
- Mind power deck (Derren performs this on Stephen fry)
- Decisions by Mozique (Derren performs a version of this on Stephen Merchant and this product is reviewed on this channel)
- The Manchurian Approach by Anthony Joaquin (a DVD set on how to used hypnosis as entertainment)
- Research ANY work by Peter Turner (his more advanced stuff), Michael Murray, Fraser Parker and Kenton Knepper
Hope that helps! :-)

Hello David....
Great review...
But does Ellusionist ship to India ..??
you'd have to ask them - I dont know
@@magicorthodoxy Thanks ...
Can you do a review to isabellas star 3?
i'd love to
@@magicorthodoxy Thank you very much
The saddest part of buying this is T USB CARD has no FILE inside, 0 byte NO MEDIA. I dont know how to fix it.
customer service - ellusionist
Is it a nail writer or a thumb writer?
technically a thumb writer, maybe I shoulda said "swami gimmick"
More of a thumb writer. Peter explains that it's an old industry term for a newer design, but I find this one more obvious that others I've seen.
where can i buy billets????
Buy blank on both sides index cards ( 3x5 inches) and then cut them in half.
@@magicorthodoxy where can I buy index cards?
Can you put the USB in the TV?
I guess so
I have a question that silver memory card can I use in Android phone whith card reader conector?
it's a USB connector
@@magicorthodoxy so I can use on tv end Android phone?
Work the phone unlock Trick ?
are you asking if the phone unclock trick works?
Can I unlock Every phone ?
no, older phones might not work
Thanks for reaching out. I always appreciate hearing from people.
If you have a question, it's better to ask me on CZcams or Instagram. But I do check this account periodically.

Brian Ling lul
Are you serious???
The thumb-writer is a grease pencil. What beginner is using a grease pencil when they perform?
The ESP cards have the most visible marking system I've ever seen on marked cards. You couldn’t even call it hidden, it’s the ONLY noticeable part of the design. AND you can see right through the cards!
The book test uses the first method a spectator would guess. It was the first method my daughter (who has no magic training) guessed after watching the performance. Also, for some reason they didn't cut the book to one of the standard dimensions a book comes in so it doesn't look or feel like a normal book.
The wallet is oriented like no wallet I’ve ever seen. On the Cafe, Geraint from Ellusionist says it’s a leather hip pocket style wallet but he didn't mention that it folds open along the LONG edge. No real wallet is made like this. It's too big for a business card or credit card wallet and too small to hold money. Also, it’s not real leather, that’s just a bizarre lie.
As you noted, the custom credit-card looks completely fake and that’s true whether you look at it from the front or the back. It's a clear magic prop.
The notepad is okay if you’re the sort of person who carries around a faux-leather notebook with you (I’m not).
The marked deck is fine.
Everything else in the kit is filler.
The quality of the items is about what I expected, but the decision making that went into them is so poor that I won't be using this at all. I'm not an Ellusionist hater by any means. I like a lot of the things they put out, but not this...
Also Peter Turner is BORING...his persona, his delivery, all bland and boring....his methods only decent if you are an absolutely beginner...
Wow, you're the first person I've come across who didn't like this. (even in reading people's reactions on the cafe) every himber wallet I have ever owned - opens on the long edge ... and I spoke with Geraint personally and he told me to my face that the wallets were both made of leather.
magicorthodoxy thats just my honest opinion...& i am not intending any disrespect... i can see how people would like it...if they had no experience with anything ...im guess since you “spoke with Geraint personally”, that this review isn’t exactly unbiased....
The box it comes in is pretty cool...the campaign and marketing was brilliant & had a target range of 12-22 year old boys with no experience in mentalism and lots of social awkwardness...everyone has to start somewhere...years from now some new modern day Dunninger Brown will look back and remember his first magic kit was this one...
also good to see Brad Christian there as if this was an ellusionist project from 19 years ago....
I am giving this kit to my 9 year old nephew but without the instructions. I don’t want him to get the wrong ideas about mentalism and mentalist...
I spoke with him to ask him about the kit because I wanted to present a factual review. Remember I bought this with my own money
magicorthodoxy right on...your reviews are always on point...but a review is in the end just an opinion...this review seems a little overly enthusiastic for what we actually got...but thats my opinion...you dig it, I don’t, fair enough.
Awesome shirt btw...
@@svspirit4999 I agreed with you to a large extent. However, please note that this is NOT Peter Turner’s normal mentalism style. This is absolutely a beginners kit. Peter Turner is more know for propless mentalism and hypno type tricks. Think Derren Brown.
Also, not sure if he is boring or not. I am from the north of England like Peter, and I think that’s just how we are. We elongate our vowels quite a lot. Also, I think we are quite different to Americans in that we don’t come across as over enthusiastic all the time. That’s not a bad thing by the way. I love the positive energy and enthusiasm that Americans so often seem to live their life by. But us Brits don’t tend to do that. We down play stuff a lot more. Also, I think it’s part of his character/persona that he has chosen to adopt. Tbf David Blane often put on a similar persona. A very monotone voice and minimal movement etc.
I agree that we should not concern too much about the exposure of props within this set. However the quality of the prop is not professional in my opinion. What I hate most is the ad of this kit, it won't make a person become attractive within his friends, it might just make him look like a more weird person. If someone want to have friends and become center of influence, it is their personal character make them so, and not a single trick of magic. It might break the ice but at the end of the day, it is all about that person.
True
Pete needs a bigger shirt just saying lol
:D
Why does every magician have to have the stupidest tattoos.
What are cool tattoos?
