“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.”

Time to put away the props: the sponge balls, the thumb tips, and even your cardistry decks. Time for an experience that leaves the spectator stunned because there is no plausible explanation other than it is what it appears to be–authentic mind reading, which in a real sense is what you’re doing. This method has opened the doors for me in many ways and lifts magic and mentalism out of triviality.
The method does require practice (you didn’t do a credible double-lift on the first try, did you?), but if you are used to working with people your skills are already at least partially developed. On my first five or so attempts I missed one. I get some near hits now and then, but I’ve found that being off one or getting diamonds instead of hearts does not diminish the effect, but strengthens it. If it were a trick, you’d nail it every time, right? You really are poking around their minds.
This is GOLD, but as far as I’m concerned the fewer people who know about this the better. My precious!

This goes beyond an effect and is really a system of possible tools and concepts that have shifted the way I think about magic. This is not a fully polished item-there is a lot of work left for you to do. In this way, I feel that it is much more worthwhile than many fully finished effects, which give you very little beyond the basic method and presentation. This book opens door and starts you thinking. If you are willing to put in some work, this is a must have.

One thing to keep in mind about COG is that, while it’s presented as a “think of any card” effect and that’s what the bulk of the book is dedicated to, its capabilities extend far beyond that effect. With some ingenuity and presentational creativity, you’ll have a weapon in your arsenal that you can apply/combine it with any number routines to divine merely-thought-of information in a much cleaner way.
