Peter Turner is one of the young cool guys in modern mentalism. He is well grounded in the classics and understands Corrinda, Dunninger and Bob Cassidy but he also is able to communicate his magic to the masses. He spends a lot of time on a single magic effect in this lecture and gives a cursory glance at other principles he works into the effect. It really feels like a jam session on a single effect rather than a complete lecture. It is different and I’m not sure if that’s a bad thing.


Pin Number Divination: Using a funky feature of the iphone the mentalist is able to divine the spectators cell phone pin code. In fact this method could be applied to divine any number. This is a good effect but it can only be performed on an Apple phone. It is explained in depth.


Michael Murray’s Calendar: Here Peter uses this method to allow the spectator to divine your pin number. You don’t need a phone for this but you do need to be clear. The spectator has to think a lot. Each time I have tried to perform this the participant gets confused and it completely ruins the effect. I would say that if you want to perform this you need to select a participant very carefully and make sure that you are explaining the process as clearly as possible.


Special Number: This is a beautiful equation that uses only numbers from the spectators life to come up with a force number. This is the stand out to me. It is clear and powerful. The spectator must use their cell phone but the mentalist never goes near the phone. Peter routines this together with his star sign divination. It works well.


Star Sign Divination: Using a classic method and a couple unique touches Peter is able to divine a thought of star sign without having anything written down. His psychological tips are very helpful but it will take time and energy to memorize a certain set of information. This is very clean mentalism for sure.


All together, I would be less inclined to call this a lecture. It is really a jam session on divining pin numbers. Each effect comes about from Peter explaining what to do if a spectator does not have an Apple phone, what to do if they want it repeated and what to do if something goes wrong. As it has a huge focus on number divination I would say that if you want to divine a 4 digit number check this lecture out. If you do not want to divine numbers or star signs there are no methods here for you, only ideas on presentation and psychology.
