The Artful Remote Viewer
Cassidy, Bob
Remote viewing is often described as an ability that allows the "viewer" to give detailed information and descriptions of an unknown target location from which he has been separated either by time or space. In this teleseminar, Bob Cassidy will be describing many subtleties and presentational tips for his many published RV routines and will also explain how the RV scenario can be convincingly adapted to various personas, claimed abilities, and performance conditions.
In addition to discussing his classic methods as described in his many classic RV effects, Bob will also describe and explain a new approach based on the concept of ARV, or "Associative Remote Viewing," that allows the RV premise to be incorporated into many standard effects.

Yet another podcast in the Bob Cassidy series. Essentially you're getting a handful of effects and a butt-load of concepts, tips, angles, thoughts, ideas, routines, etc. that use remote viewing as the premise. It covers everything, when to do it, when not to do it, how to spin it, how to "sell" it, etc., etc.
This 2 hour podcast is hosted by Michael Weber who does a good job overall, but does come across as a little controlling. It was actually a little bit annoying in a couple of places. However, he brought some cool ideas and insight to the podcast that make it worth the effort to not be too annoyed.
Included on the CD-Rom is The Artful Remote Viewer pdf file, along with the mp3 podcast file, and a post-podcast pdf file that further covers things that were in the podcast that weren't in the original pdf. Basically, everything that was covered is in both audio and print format.
This is Bob Cassidy. He's a genius one of the greatest mentalism thinkers of our time. If you're a mentalist, you need this in your library. The affect you can have on people with this effect is beyond description. The kind of stuff covered on this disk can only be gotten (not to be confused with "only begotten") by the school of hard knocks. He's a worker and always will be. To be able to sit at the feet of the master and be taught is an amazing opportunity.
If you're not a mentalist at all, I'd still consider this merely because of the wealth of knowledge regarding performance and audience management. For those mentalists who have absolutely no interest in a remote viewing presentation, I would still highly recommend this, for the above reasons, and because you'll learn a lot more about your art than just a "mere" presentational angle.
Final Verdict:
4.5 Stars with a Stone Status of GEM.
