“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.”

My review on COG will be quite different because I don’t consider myself a “Magician”. I’m learning and working primarily around the field of Psychology and the deceptive practices. Now for the review – The product itself is an amazing piece of art. It’s difficult, requires several psychological understandings (body language etc.) and it will take time. It would seem to be too weird to be true but it is. As a deception artist I can tell you that it’s superb. I don’t think that there is any version, technique or variation for this type of effect (think of a card) that you can say that is better and more realistic then COG.
**there are many gimmicks for this kind of effect but keep in mind that this one is totally clean and I mean TOTALLY**
I have bought the book the moment it was published and I cannot say that I regret it. In the end – I would recommend this book to anyone who wish to do “real” deceptive magic. This one is beyond simple “Mentalism” effect. This one is a psychological gold mine.

COG is an excellent, impromptu, perform anywhere technique. It gets awesome reactions when performed correctly. I will warn you that there are parts to COG that are more complex, thus creating the intermediate rating. Give it a week or two of practice. You’ll have most of it down no problem.
