“I saw The Bookless Book test on the DVD set and immediately assembled all the parts and practiced it and presented it as a feature in my street set here in Virginia Beach, VA. It was an immediate hit and I have used it for platform shows as well as the street. I was thrilled as the spectator who knew where the words came from was just as impressed as the audience since they were astounded that just that one word was revealed out of the choices they had.
Now that I have "Facade" I see all kinds of performance additions and a ton of other ideas that I can hardly wait to use in my next show. Colin's new ideas and twists for this effect and others is an absolute gold mine! I belong to a mentalism group and when we meet in a couple weeks I will be showing one of the newer effects from "Facade" knowing I will be blowing even them away with what I have learned so far...and that is with only reading half the book!!! This stuff is too good to rush through it.” - Jack Shea
"I am a big fan of Colin's work. As a professional entertainer i am always looking for material that is strong, simple and very commercial, this is something you always get when you purchase any of Colin's work. His latest release Facade once again shows that he is one of the most creative minds in modern mentalism, you will find something that you will want to add to your act. The book is clearly written and with very strong routines, you may well struggle to decide on a favouite! For those of you (like myself) who like to adapt ideas you will find much to inspire you in this book. I shall be using material and ideas from Facade in my 2012 professional shows and you should to!" - Stephen Ward Professional Mind Reader & Author
"As usual, Colin delivers a mentalism tour de force of major import and impact. This man never ceases to amaze and impress me on virtually every level that could possibly matter. I've only begun ripping into "Facade," but what I've read thus far is incredibly intriguing and exciting. Thanks so much, Col!" - Daniel Ulin
“Great work again Colin. I love the fact you have taken what was already a great effect and made it stronger.” - Paul Rae
“Have no words that can describe this work just to good. One of the best investments I ever made so happy thank you Colin.” - Carl Zen
“Just finished reading FACADE. This is truly amazing! Just brilliant!!! Money WELL spend! Thanks Colin for this one!” - Kiki
“One of the most talked about routines from Colin McLeod's best-selling OPENING MINDS set is his "Bookless Book Test." He even performed it on the television show Penn & Teller Fool Us. (You can see his performance on YouTube). This 45-page PDF manuscript details both the original handling and variations using the idea. It includes many color photographs to illustrate the routine.
The blurb is pretty accurate as to its contents. I will only add that the original effect requires a gimmick that you may have to purchase at a magic shop if you don't already have it. However, McLeod includes a version which uses a gimmick one can make using desktop publishing. McLeod is certainly one of mentalism newest thinkers, as those who have his OPENING MINDS know. If you're a fan of the "Bookless Book Test," then you probably have skipped my comments and gone right to order it. If you're unfamiliar with this, this certainly is a work that has practical ideas that I should think every mentalist would be interested in.” - Jheff, www.Marketplaceofthemind.com
“Just when I thought this idea was at it's best, the genius of Colin does it once again, bringing THREE additions to this clever & unique principle in Mentalism. The three routines contained in this book just take everything to a whole new level. For those who love this effect, but weren't too confident with the original routine & felt the experience of the onstage participant wasn't strong enough, then you will see upon getting this book how Colin has taken it to a whole new level, giving you all the confidence you need, creating the perfect execution of dual reality. For those who love and use the original routine, you're going to absolutely LOVE the ideas in this book. If you are not familiar with this routine, you are in for a BIG treat.” - Brandon Queen
“Facade includes several creative and practical variations but mainly it's the important subtleties that give you everything you need to go out and perform this and blow some minds. Colin goes through the history and inspirations for coming up with the effect which gives us a clear understanding of the thinking behind this practically impromptu miracle and the mad genius who came up with it. Thumbs way up!!!” - Ran Pink
