“COG is a comprehensive manual for those wishing to perform a piece of pure, uncluttered mind reading. It will not come easily, but with work and understanding, it will allow you to simply tell a spectator which card they are thinking of; all with nothing written down, no cards in play and no other compromise. Recommended.” – Luke Jermay
Pure Mind reading to divine a thought-of card. You’ve seen David Blaine do it. You’ve seen Derren Brown do it. Now, Ben Seward brings his own methods to achieve this astonishing feat.
Cog outlines the methods by which you can actually walk up to someone and tell them the card they are simply thinking of. No forcing a card from a deck. Nothing written down. Just clean, pure, mind reading.
“I’ve never been able to read minds, but I told my spectators and family that I could. I used a peek or gimmick, I was a fraud. What Ben has put together in COG means that I can now do what I pretended to do before, without having to lie.” – Geraint Clark
“When the script alone becomes a disguised vessel for the method, you’re able to produce truly profound & impenetrable effects. It’s this concept which has captured Ben’s creativity, resulting with a beautifully direct & personal routine.” – Ollie Mealing
“I had a few doubts about this at first but having witnessed Ben execute this flawlessly, time after time. I am left amazed at the idea, but more so at Ben’s study on the subject.”

I received the book and read it straight away. It’s full of great ideas and methods for achieving that wonderful goal – mentalism that looks real, because it is! Most experienced performers will probably already do something similar to the core effect described here, but I’ve never seen it so well analysed, explained, expanded and presented for real-world use. Definitely one for the worker and not the hobbyist, if you’re going to do this for family and friends expect to crash and burn horribly, and it will takes some practice, nerve and good observational skills – but once you’ve got it mastered you will have an impromptu any time any place anywhere piece of kick-ass mind reading. Great stuff!

This is part of the dream for using cards in mentalism, to have your spectator think of a card and then you tell them what it is. Doesn’t get much more direct than that!!! truly spectacular book and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it! went out to a gig after just reading and received hits all night! awesome stuff!!!!

Great book. Basically finished it in one sitting and immediately after tried out some of the ideas. Without practice and just a basic understanding the results were fantastic. I even impressed myself with the information I was able to gather.
Great book, worth the money if you’re serious about your work. Doing any mentalism at all? Get this book. I do mainly card and close-up stuff and even I’m getting great use out of this book combining it with other effects.
