A beautiful mentalism lecture, but audio quality is awful

It was a great honor to be one of Nikolas' volunteers for his lecture the other night (19.10.20). Most of his effects were new to us guys and he has shown again, through his ideas and passion for magic, that he will be a great innovator especially in the realms of mentalism. Not only does he take old tricks and revamps them but he has introduced new methods and ideas and it is a breath of fresh air. We can expect, and I know we will see, a lot more from this very multi-talented young man. I have to add that he is a very much accomplished musician, writer and composer and he amazes me how he finds the time to juggle between his music and love for mentalism. Forward and beyond Nikolas !

This is definitely a lecture you don't want to miss. Nikolas is the brains behind Cinemental, Zener Match, The Collector, Spellebrity and I believe there are more to come. He delivers this lecture with lots of great effects and routines. He shows us his perspective in Mentalism and sharing his amazing ideas. It consists of 9 effects and Nikolas analyses everything and makes this lecture completely straightforward, leaving nothing to question about. His methods and his thinking are very clever and clear in each effect, and magician fooling as well. I am definitely adding some of those in my performances. I highly recommend this lecture to anyone interested in Mentalism and believe me it is worth it. Well done Nikolas. I am definitely waiting for the next one.

Great lecture of mental magic with nine very practical effects; excellent value.

A fantastic lecture of engaging mentalism pieces that showcase a variety of clever methods. The effects all rely on easy to understand principles that camouflage beautifully in the routines. You will have a hard time picking your favorite routine as the course is packed with winners. You will definitely be adding a few of these gems to your set!

Well, what can I say? Nikolas Mavresis creates great magic pieces like Zenner Match and The Collector and this Academy will not dissappoint anyone interested in mentalism. It was a great night filled with some really clever ideas.

Inspirational, plain and simple! A joy to watch, to learn from and experience. A lot of ‘why didn’t I think of that’ moments which gave me with a wry smile from start to finish. Recommend this very highly indeed.

if you are a working mentalist buy this... I have watched many of the academies and this is in my top 5. Nikolas Manvresis' thinking is first class, clearly outlines every routine and every effect is commercial. Just buy it, any one of the ideas on their own is worth the cost of the course. and the last CineMental is fantastic .. mind you so is the bank night, oh and the Cluedo and the ... ( you get the idea)

A great Academy with lots of material and ideas to think about. Russian Bank Night is a fantastic routine. Nikolas delivers an excellent lecture and I would recommend this to anyone with an interest in mentalism. As for value for money, I'm not sure where else you could get direct tuition for the price!

I like mentalism and this was the subject at its best NIKOLAS MAVRESIS'S take on the subject is great with very refreshing thinking - Not to be missed. I am glad I did not miss this Academy. Thank you.

Just sat through this Academy the methods and thoughts Nicholas presented were thought provoking. Gave all the attendees lots to think about. So much content. Worth every penny.

A fantastic academy as always by the Alakazam team and Nikolas Manvresis, On rethinking effects and taking a fresh Approach
