Divine by Colin Mcleod
“Colin Mcleod IS the future of mentalism. Some in our field are superb performers, others are immensely creative. Colin Mcleod is both. And that sets him apart from just about everyone.” -Ken Webber
“There’s a very short list of creators/performers in the magic community that I will sit up and pay close attention to when they speak. Sometimes they speak through their commercial releases and if I’m lucky enough to be their friends, I get to hear from them directly! Colin Mcleod is at the top of that list. If you get the chance to hear, see or read anything from Colin you WILL walk away with a fresh innovative perspective. I guarantee it.” -Bill Abbott
“Colin Mcleod is one of the greatest innovators of our time. I absolutely love Colin’s approach and performance style; he has given me so much food for thought in the past that I am forever indebted. He is ultra-quick minded and his material is outstanding. He is a mental force not to be reconciled with!” -Peter Turner
“Colin’s Mentalism is utterly practical and deeply diabolical. Some seriously clever stuff from a seriously nice man.” -Andy Nyman
“Colin Mcleod has interesting, creative and fun ideas about what mentalism can be, where it can go and how it should be presented. He devises powerful, head-scratching mysteries that take the entertainment value all the way up to 11, all of which he performs well and explains clearly without taking forever to do so. If there’s something else to want from a mentalism lecture, I don’t know what it is. Colin has a terrible haircut and an accent no-one can understand, but apart from that both he and his lectures are a treat. Watch, enjoy, learn and prepare to be fooled in the nicest possible way by a mind so sharp you could slice rocks with it.” -Ian Rowland
For the first time…
Colin shares not just his methods, but his entire process on how he’s able to create things in the unique way that he does. From learning how to use the Multi-Dimensional Die to reveal the exact memories of spectators to performing a guaranteed ‘Bank Note in Hand’ style routine, without the requirement for any fancy electronics, you’ll be gaining a personal insight displaying why he has gained a reputation for …
He teaches his real world routines with a deck of cards. Learn to perform ‘The Tossed Out Deck’ where people merely think of cards. Memorize a deck of cards in less than 2 minutes and have the entire audience take part in testing you know which card was at which number and in a short essay, you’ll even learn how to lay two cards face down and have the spectator’s correctly name them.
You’ll learn the up to date work on his Q&A routine with nothing held back, his unique perspective on Mental Epic and how to make it play BIG to a real world audience.
As well as these, Colin will reveal for the first time his opening routine for close up situations to ensure everyone is engaged and gets involved AND his ‘head line prediction’ methodology where you not only accurately predict any real world event, the event organizer also predicts what you’ve predicted. This is something that has never been shared before and will instantly become the cleanest way of making predictions in advance.
The book is laid out as a series of essays and as well as learning everything above, you’ll be learning some of the uses developed for the ‘Dunninger Ploy,’ this section alone contains a multitude of extra effects to consider, an essay on making billets psychologically invisible and a question and answer session with Peter Turner where we’ll find out exactly how Colin perceives different areas of our craft.
There is also a chapter on the journey Colin has taken, the people he has met and the influences he has had to guide him to this current point in his career. By the end of this book, you’ll know exactly who he is, exactly how he thinks and exactly how his thinking, his methodologies and his principles can and will benefit you.
