DVD 1
* A Question and Answer (3/10):
This effect is a weak opener, just more of the same if you’re not new to mentalism. There’s nothing new or that hasn’t been already explained on Practical Mental Effects – Use of env*******s by Annemann himself. Rest is simply Peter’s acting and a lot of talking.
* Life Equation (8/10):
Excellent and clever effect. Definitely my favorite of DVD 1 and one of the few I would probably use with a few tweaks here and there so the methodology doesn’t become obvious, otherwise it can’t be repeated for the same group twice.
Also, there’s no explanation as of performing it for stage so I assume it can only be done for one on one mentalism.
* Rosie Red (4/10):
Even though the performance looks amazing and the concept it’s not bad, there’s a BIG catch to it – and it’s obviously writing down. Might as well use any other kind of p**k device and get the job done, looking much more fair also to the spectators.
He later discusses the Slate # 2 which if anything at all, it’s not a bad idea but it’s completely unreliable to perform to anyone that’s a skeptic and it’s not surefire
As a lot of the material is on the DVDs, it takes away from the points.
Also, Peter Says more about his “If I dont fail it doesn’t matter” This is something I doubt you’d want to do on all your paid gigs.
DVD 1 – Average Rating = 5 / 10
* Finger Finger (2/10):
More than “Finger Finger”This would be a more fitting name. “Filler Filler”. Just a very and well known old f***e applied to the effect, nothing absolutely new and as most of the dvd’s material, it can fail most of the times.
There is nothing more to be said about this DVD. It could be better left off the DVD. Sure, Peter as usual says he doesn’t care about failing but I wonder if your audiences would really be happy with performers failing all the time, I guess not.
* Cigarette Divination (5/10):
The method for what is shown in the video performance is so obvious that it’s the first one that came into my mind as soon as I saw it. The spectators can’t examine anything.
Peter Provides a handling with an imaginary cigarrette which hits 50% of the time with an unjustified process that makes it only half as effective.
Nicht everything that shines can be considered gold.
* Locking Keys (2/10):
The effect’s premise is intriguing, but it is actually made up 2 parts. The first is reliable and is explained in classic books on mentalism, while the second is unreliable.
Another great looking product that disappoints.
* A Slate and a Number (9/10):
The closer is a nice routine that relies very heavily on DR, it’s pretty risky as you’re playing with the perception of several participants, but it’s a very well thought effect which I enjoyed in general. The second DVD has the best effect.
DVD 2 – Average Rating = 4.5 / 10
Overall Rating = 2.4/5
* Conclusion
It appears that this is the whole “Mentalism is not about method but presentation” People like these take it too seriously. Peter, who has released in here a bunch of effects that don’t live up to the overhype of this DVD or to the title of the original Practical mental effects book, as I would doubt the presented effects are practical if any at all, let’s hope for the sake of Mentalism, this doesn’t become a trend.
At almost 200 USD, I would recommend to stay away from this and either buy the original book from Annemann or even Richard Osterlind’s 6 Set DVDs, you will learn a lot more from his vast years of experience.
This was the conclusion of 31 magicians.

It’s well worth the money. Read this review

JINXED’s seven performances are performed with strangers in the streets or at venues in Greece. The explanations for the effects can be found back at Titanas Magic and Vangelis Haralampous.
You can easily break down the DVD. “play all” Or, you can view each effect individually. If you choose to “play all” The introduction and prologue will be included in the viewing. Each trick’s explanations are more than a simple explanation. “how to” But there’s more to it “behind the scenes” Theory about Peter’s craft and how he’s arrived at his ideas. Behind the scenes discussions include: building confidence, the gypsy peek, multiple outs, be bold, invisible force, updating the old, combining methods, versatility, peeks, mixing principles, Annemann plot, slate #1, slate #2 and more…..
Volume 1
0. Prologue – (15:09) Peter Vangelis and Vangelis speak on the Titanas Set. Peter His premise for the DVD-set and his appreciation of Theodore Annemann are set. The thing with these tricks on JINXED is – you’re basically learning how Peter These classics are presented here. So don’t expect to “learn” These DVDs offer some incredible new methods. And I would argue that 90% of the magic that comes from these effects – the “reason” Why do they look like? “magic” Is Peter’s presentation and his ability to work with strangers.
This means that you will be excited to buy these DVDs. “how” and you’re hoping the “how” We are here to help. Peter isn’t giving you new “how” His approach is to show you how he views the effects, and perhaps some of the other things you might have overlooked. “outdated” Oder “un doable.”
For Peter it’s not about “how” It is not something he does, but it is what he is doing. “why” he’s doing it and how it relates back to his performance.
In all fairness – I bet some people will be disappointed that there aren’t more earth-These are shocking revelations. It is important to examine the content of this article. Peter is trying to get across – this is really an argument to revisit the books on your bookshelf and to not dismiss the classic effects because they seem to use an outdated element. Peter Take it all out and asks “why did this work -THEN – and how could it work now?” What is the? “thing” Behind THE THING
In a Karl Fulves book, the Magi exits the room, then enters a bedroom to close a door. This allows his house guests to choose an object from a random list. It is called The “secret” It was then that the Magi gazed through the keyhole, watching to see what it held. “item” In the room that the house guests selected. That effect could be dismissed and I could say “well, house doors don’t have keyholes you can see through anymore.” True, but… what’s the principle? A way to “spy” on the table. What would we do in today’s culture? Get a Nanny Cam! You can install a hidden camera and have a feed from your bedroom.
One last thing – as these tricks involve mentalism and mind-reading – these effects are more geared to the walk-around, or the table-hopper magician, and not for someone who does magic just for fun.
1. A Question and Answer (Performance 9/Explanation 17/31) / a hybrid of Practical Mental Effects. Peter Receives a written response that is sealed in a stack.
Review: Masterful in Peter’s hand, Peter Combines a cold-A divining method that uses a “secret” Most beginning mentalists know this already.
2. Life Equation (Performance 6,02 / Explanation 25,18) The magician uses a cell-phone calculator to guide the spectator through a series a special numbers that lead him to a personal integer.
Review: A hybrid from 202 Methods of Forcing. Another very familiar method. I think this trick was in my very first beginner’s magic book from the 1950s. (Simple Tricks for the Young Magician by Green) Like the previous effect – you’re learning Peter’s routine and watching how a master crafts these classics for the modern age.
3. Rosie Red (Performance 2,43 / Explanation47:05) this is an effect of slate prediction that requires an audience.
Review: A reworking an effect from Practical Mental Effects. I admit that this was what I did when I learned. Peter’s method for this effect, it was kind of a let down – it’s not an effect I would do – but what I loved was the explanation after the explanation. The video is below Peter There are many ways to force and equivocate.
Volume 2
1. Finger Finger (Performance 4:37 / Explanation 12:41) an impromptu number guessing game.
Review: A variation of the effect from The Jinx. At first it doesn’t feel like a “trick” And Peter does not sell it as such, more than it’s a way to build rapport with a spectator. But if it hits – it hits BIG
2. Cigarette Divination (performance 2.37 / Explanation 17.02.2) The spectator takes a random number of cigarettes, and you can see how many they have taken.
Review: A variation of The Jinx, originally performed with matches. This is a fantastic foresight effect that any bar magician or cigarette magician will immediately adopt.
3. A Lock and Keys (performance 4:12 / Explanation 13 11) Peter guesses a spectator’s written cellphone unlock key from a series of cards.
Review: Peter’s take on Anneman’s “Seven Keys to Baldpate” & Henry Fischer’s “Lock and Keys.” Trick using a cell telephone to perform a trick that was used before the invention of the phone.
4. A Slate, a Number (performance 24.10/ Explanation 7.12) Peter This is performed with three spectators who divinate numbers, birthdays and pictures.
Review: A passed over effect from Practical Mental Effects. Peter develops a beautiful routine you can do with a group of people – easily a closer that would solidify you as a mental savant.
End Review (5:04 min) “This for me is a little about telepathy as it as much about empathy” Peter Turner.
My advice – buy the book “Practical Mental Effects” Also included is this DVD.

Very disappointing for the $$ invested. Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy Ontario (login to view reviewer name) on May 5, 2014.
I’ve been a big Peter Turner I have been a huge fan of the author for about a year and have bought several of his books as well as one DVD set. Jinxed It was somewhat disappointing for the price. Peter Creative and original thinker. He combines multiple methods with very clever presentations. However, not all of the effects can be described. Jinxed Look a bit contrived especially on disc 2. It’s not as natural as the earlier releases (Devil in Disguise). Actually, I think the Peter Turner Penguin lecture is far more effective and has better effects.

Less is more
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login required to view reviewer names) May 4, 2014
Annemanns work is still good, it works well, the routines work fine, and the peeks are interesting but not new. Peter Turner talks too much and mixes stock reading, astrology…,many words, sorry thats too much, his earlier releases were much stronger, especially Devil in disguises,
I’m sorry to write this, I think he is a likeable and charismatic person but less is more!

This is a great product. I have a few of Pete’s products that are limited and there’s always something that blows my mind. This product is packed with practical, useful effects and it feels just like the real thing.
For serious mentalists:

5* material, 2* price… Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login required to view reviewer names) May 4, 2014
First off i’d like to say that i own freeform mentalism by pete and none of the material is repeated on these dvds. there is a lot of stuff on here that is modern(even though it’s annemans material)and will work in the real world. You can also use many of these effects to get women. I know it sounds corny, but if you want to stand out from the crowd, this is a great way.
these dvds, i would give an easy, and well deserved 5* rating but that mountain of a price is just absurd . This dvd retails for $90. It should be on Blu for this price.-ray and be personally signed by pete…
p.s. if you’re a noob at mentalism stay away. marc spellmanns’ download is your best bet.

Jinxed This is simply amazing. This review should be reported

Let me start by saying that I already own most of Pete’s work and that I am a big fan of his take on mind reading. The effects on the DVD are great but I mostly enjoyed Pete and Titanas talk as I think that’s when you really learn how to be a better performer and maybe a better person as well lol. We appreciate your kindness. Peter Thank you to Titanas and Penguin for the great project.

Peter Turner’s material is always great but the Jinxed The DVD set is an amazing experience. He demonstrates some incredible effects with each nuance. His offhand remarks are also a great source of inspiration. This is a great video. It’s hard to believe anyone would not want it. I would buy this product before the limited edition is gone.
