This is a fantastic course which explore a huge array of mentalism gambits that uses incredibly clever methods in a very minimal way. Phills teaching style in incredibly funny and engaging, so much so, the 7 hours vanishes before you know t! Highly recommended!
Even better than the firs night :-)
We've just got to the halfway point of day 2 and I have to say this is one of the best mentalism courses I have experienced! Phill is an awesome tutor, the presentation is magnificent, and there are so many great ideas crammed in here that I will have to re-watch this several times to get everything from it. I especially like the book test and the work on the various forces, but to be honest all of it is just so good. Thanks Phill for two very informative and entertaining evenings!
In the words of the four seasons "Oh What a Night" I have many of Phill's products so attending this Academy course was a no-brainer for me. His thinking is head and shoulders above many mentalists in the world today Having a background in design you can always be sure of a unique and quality product as can be seen with items like The DMC Elite Marked Deck and the recently released Resurrection Deck a collaboration between Phill and Peter Turner. Top effect for me on night one was Interlaced Thief which is so devious I still do not understand how it works but it just does. I am really looking forward to Day/Evening 2 which when I saw the setlist was going to be the highlight evening of the two. Thank you Phill and do keep creating and come back and do Organic Mentalism 2.0
What an amazing course in mentalism this has been so far! I can't wait for part 2 this evening. Phill is an incredible teacher and as always combining this with the Academy style learning provides an experience like no other!
Another great academy from Alakazam. Phill Smith is a fantastic thinker, creator and lecturer. The lecture is full of tips and thoughts as well as tricks that are organic, that can be performed with minimal props and that always hit. Phill is as ever entertaining and informative and it is a great lecture. A highly recommended viewing.
What a great course and what a great guy. Phill is charming, comfortable and understatedly devious...love it!
I have attended quite a few Alakazam Academy courses and I have found all of them excellent in their respective ways. However I have a strong interest in Mentalism and must say that Phill’s presentations and tuition is brilliant in that he very clearly explains this method and thinking behind each part in a way that makes complete sense. I am very much looking forward to the rest of tonight’s and tomorrow nights course. Well worth the investment already. Thank you!
Just Wonderful, really enjoying this course. Already learned some excellent techniques I will be using.
I love the idea of organic mentalism - really simple ideas that just work without any real expensive props. Phill's peek is the real Biz - really good, really simple and really fooling. A great course for anyone wanting to get into or progress in mentalism and Phill is a great creator and teacher. Well done Alakazam for another great academy course.
Phill is a master of organic, clean and killer mentalism. His thinking is ingenious and his methods simple allowing great routines and brilliant reactions. Phill's teaching is a clear as his designs and I'm going to be watching this academy over and over to get everything I can from Phill's mind. Thanks Phill and Alakazam!

Phill is a clear and concise teacher. Only half way through the first session and already I feel I have had value for money. Some very nice peeks and the thoughts behind them makes it all seem so natural. Another winner for the Academy.
Excellent course. Phill gives really clear explanations of the concepts and also good insights on real life performance tips
Phill's methods are simple yet extremely deceptive, which allows you to focus entirely on presentation. His teaching is very clear and his thinking is brilliant. Perfect for that "organic" propless and natural feel.
loving this so far, Phil is great, and this is only part 1!
phills course has this incredible way of mixing effects that are amazing but also very easy to perform everything he has put into this course can be performed without the need for fancy props and is very natural mentalism, something i feel gets overlooked a little to much this was my first Alakazam live and defiantly wont be my last, great job phill!!
What a Great Course! First Time Attending a Alakazam Academy! I Wish I had attended Past Courses, The tuition is Great and so is the Banter! Been looking to learn some mentalism for a little while now and this seems to be a great place to start! Plus Now Im Messing about with face swap which is also fun =)
Man I wish I had this info well before now... true BRILLIANCE from Phill Smith - one of modern days best creators and performers. If you want to learn some AWESOME 'organic' (and yes some so simple you feel guilty) mentalist routines.. this IS for you! A++ as always for Phill and the entire Alakazam team (Peter, Dave & H!)
Wow Wow Wow! As always these courses are fantastic! This is worth the money if only for Phill's brilliant peek method and amazing book test!! Top marks.
Phill Smith is someone who I will always learn something from and this academy hasn't disappointed so far. His mentalism is simple, direct and gives you so much scope for the presentation. If you want to learn direct and simple mentalism, that packs a huge punch, get this academy. Easily could be sold for much more!
