Think Pink Complete Edition

THE BLURB:
The Complete Think Pink contains more than beautiful
techniques. It is a dissertation on the psychology and
process of using this amazing center tear, which can be
applied to so many mentalism routines. The beautiful
illustrations by Tom Jorgenson make learning it fun and
easy. Not only does it include some of my pet effects but
also I have included fresh routines and ideas from some of
today's top innovators in mentalism, including Kenton
Knepper, Greg Arce, Andrew Gerard, Lincoln, Newell Unfried,
Tom Jorgenson and Yaniv Deautch and a total of 11 new
effects to get your creative juices flowing. If you are
looking for a way to achieve mental miracles, just Think
Pink!!!

In this edition you will learn much more than just the basic
Think Pink technique. This book also includes new twists and
techniques that make Think Pink even better. These advanced
techniques were originally published as a Mindvention
supplement and were only made available to a select group of
mentalists. These new ideas have been updated, tested,
tweaked and all the while new ideas kept flowing. One
chapter of the book deals with justifying the writing and
the tearing and how to incorporate the logic into the
presentations. The book examines the peek moment and how to
make it most invisible. Every angle is covered including why
sometimes no justifications are needed. An interesting idea
on how to make a spectators thought appear on the
spectator's body is one of the many bonus ideas also
included. Mentalists who have previewed this edition have
told me that the 11 premises at the end of the book are well
worth the price of the book.

* Can be performed anytime. Every step looks natural.

* The secret information is written on the center of the
paper.

* No switching, stealing, palming or preparation and no
funny moves.

* Can be done with business cards, index cards or any paper.

* The paper never leaves the audience's sight. You tear the
paper to 1/16th its original size while your head is turned
away. The pieces look tiny and useless, yet you can still
read what's been written inside. Let them burn your hands!
(with their eyes, of course)

* Allows you to show the papers from all sides during and
after the tear and still access the information in a direct
but very subtle manner. The information appears
horizontally, upright and easy to read.

* Think Pink is ideal for one-word descriptions, names,
dates and numbers. PERFECT for creating mental miracles at a
moments notice. This is a technique you'll use for life.

If you've been searching for a practical technique to gain
secret information then, Think Pink is for you.

Think Pink has:

MORE POWER
MORE LATITUDE
MORE FREEDOM

More Power

With 11 premises to apply the techniques, you'll be doing
new and different effects, all using the same invisible
method.

More Latitude

They write in the center of the paper, no funny drawings or
constricted areas are needed. Think Pink allows you much
more freedom of hand movement and timing than any tear ever.
Peek the writing whenever you wish. The writing is always
face up when read.

More Freedom

The moves are simple, natural, clean, and you are angle
free. Think Pink can be done surrounded, close-up, standup
or onstage. No stealing, no palming, no sleights! No awkward
hand positions and no unnatural tears. It's all normal moves
and its all easy.

Previous to Think Pink, business cards were usually the most
difficult thing to use for the Center Tear/Peek. Yet,
business cards are the most convenient paper to use. Think
Pink was especially created for use with business cards. Now
you can pick up any business card anywhere and launch into
amazing demonstration of mental abilities.

Think Pink is perfect for spontaneous amazement anywhere,
everywhere. It is equally effective using Index cards of any
size; 3x5 for close-up and standup, even 4x6 cards can
easily be used on larger stages. Works excellent with square
shaped paper and Post-It notes too.

Easy To Learn & Easy To Do

Over 60 pages of fully illustrated step by step instructions
that will have you up and running in no time! 11 dynamic
premises will give you ideas and effects to use as soon as
the moves are down tight.

NEW methods of the peek itself are given. When and where and
why are all explained in detail, making this miracle method
of mindreading simple for you to learn and apply.

If you have already learned several different approaches to
the Tear/Peek, Think Pink will give you specific advantages
you will appreciate every time you use it.

MY COMMENTS:
This is a new expanded edition of Ran Pink's center tear
technique. To briefly re-cap what I said about his original
booklet, I can't say that this technique is better or worse
than others (specifically Richard Osterlind's), because
everyone has their own preferences. It certainly works, it
has its advantages, and it has become popular among many
mentalists.

Let me just clarify a couple of things from the blurb.
"Over 60 pages of fully illustrated step by step
instructions that will have you up and running in no time!"
Please don't misunderstand that this is an automatic
technique that you can do minutes after you read it. It is
clearly presented so that you can understand the mechanics
quite quickly. It may be "Easy to Learn & Easy to Do," but
that doesn't mean it's "Easy to Master." In other words, it
will take some time for mastery. It's not difficult and,
for most, I'd say it's far easier to master this than a
classic coin palm. But you still need practice time (a few
hours, at least) to get it down smoothly so that it can be
effective in performances.

The Think Pink Complete Edition is a beautiful 63-page,
hardbound book, about 8.5" x 11". Included is Ran's
original handling, Tom Jorgenson's handling, which was
featured in the 2005 Mindvention supplement, and eleven
effects contributed by many notable names in mentalism. The
blurb above pretty much covers everything you need to know.
Do remember that this is a limited edition and Ran sold
quite a few of them at this year's F.I.S.M. So, if you want
to get this highly recommended edition, you must act fast.
