Such words from David are humbling, as I know how… unbiased AND brutally honest he is. Thank you for the honor and for the time you’ve taken for Orion David.
I have these routines--or at least versions of them--in an earlier book by Bilek, Phasma. He's quite the thinker, so much better than the usual "name" propless folks (and we know who they are). I've been working on his stuff as well as Joshua Quinn's Chunneling and Steve Yachanin''s Thought Association, which are in some ways similar. This is material that's easy to understand, but you can spend the rest of your life honing your techniques.
If you are going to buy only 1 product in your whole life, make sure its the 2 editions of Orion. I am telling you this is that special heaven-send product of mentalism , the holy grail you all have been waiting for. It beats every ..i mean every thing out there. you are influencing and reading their mind in the most direct way. I had hit and miss with Proteus i must admit, but with Orion i would say you are 99% hitting.. not just hitting.. hard hitting. your spectator will remember you for this. The only explanation they have is Mind reading. period. I am not a seasoned performer I mostly perform casually. But I have been following mentalism products for a longgg time, both reading and purchasing. I have bought a lot of products expensive and cheap ones in the past, some good, some bad, some very good etc. With each of them you will still have this missing feeling But not with Orion. Buy this you dont need any other Mentalism products. invest your time, respect the creation and in a few days, you will be out there just killing!
@unbiasedmagicreview: thanks for the great review - could you give an estimation how many of the routines/concepts are difficult to perform in a different language because they needs more than a simple translations ? I could not justify to put in the all the work for lets say chunneling to make it work in my language.
Phedon addresses this in the book - there is some material that doesn't work as well in English like Phasmatic Names but the majority of the routines in the book are language independent because the concepts can be applied to any language.
Hey I’m looking for a coach in mentalism . I want to learn maybe 4 cool tricks for the kids and maybe my guys at my local bar that doesn’t involve any props . 1 is there such a thing ? 2 id regather pay a coach for verbals and trouble shooting because my eyes are not what they used to be. Thank you
There's a ton of great mentalism out there. I guess it depends on what you want to learn. Check out some of my reviews - you might see something that interests you. I have never heard of a mentalism coach but I'm sure you can find people who are into mentalism who can help you. Feel free to email me directly if you ever want to talk shop. Hopefully my reviews can help you and also save you some time and money!
Pricey but well worth the investment!! You get more value from one of these books then you will from buying all of the overhyped "best" effects Murphy's magic is hyping on their channel.

Thanks for stopping by Phedon!
Phedon's releases are simply amazing... he's probably my favourite mentalist. Minimalistic, deep and simply beautiful mentalism.
You can really appreciate the time he has put into these books.
Phedon's work is absolutely amazing across the board. 100% recommend anything he's released. Great review, thank you.
Amazing review !!
Thankyou for this
Absolutely fantastic set of books. The routines David suggests are a great start.

Superb review of an amazing book. Looking forward to part two.
Glad you found my review helpful!
Always a pleasure. No nonsense reviews. Hi from the UK 🙂🏴
Thanks!
Thanks for this helpful review, David! Can’t wait to see what you recommend from the second Orion book. Hope you’ll keep reviewing mentalism books!
Any plans on doing a review of Bannon's latest book "Very Hush Hush"?
I am currently reading it....

Only for this, Orion was worth writing. Get out, amaze, be happy, make others happy, and raise a glass to my health 🙂

Phedon stated that only 3 effects are language dependent.
You’ve got merch??? Love the baseball cap.
Thanks!
Thanks David.
Glad you enjoyed the review.
You have branded hats?! Where can I buy one (or two)?
HA HA! Yes Thom... I can send you one!
I think the routines are only possible in English?

Only 3 of them if I recall correctly. Orion has been translated in French as a matter of fact.

Thanks for the review. It's a pricey 2 volume set. How do you feel about the value?
Pricey but well worth the investment!! You get more value from one of these books then you will from buying all of the overhyped "best" effects Murphy's magic is hyping on their channel.
I do not own these books yet.
You will love them!
a question - first, thank you for the review. my question is - are these books and the concepts in them are language dependent?
Some routines are language dependent can only be done in English, but most are not.
@@UnbiasedMagicReviews thank you!
