Review of Mes(s)merize by Stefan Olschewski – Book

21 Jul

Reviewed by Bernard Sim


The description in the ad for this effect is rather unbelievable, rather bold I’d say, however, this routine is as what the ad described and it is not a pipedream.

If you were to perform it as what the book says, you would require a lot of envelopes and a lot of spectators. Fret not; an “economy” version is included in this booklet. The economy version doesn’t require any envelopes at all. This effect is best perform for a large group, it won’t be as effective if you perform it to one person but I guess you can modify it to perform it to a single spectator. You will need to make your own gimmick which is very easy to do.

Apart from the main routine, there are many other routines based on this effect included. These bonus routines are from different contributors who Stefan Olschewski have shared the idea with. Some of these ideas are; predicting a bill’s serial number, predicting an earlier “prediction” and even predicting a drawing. Some pretty cool and nice ideas there.

If you buy this, you are not just buying a single routine; this idea is like a utility device. You will have many applications for it.

Recommended. Rating 4/5
