Once again, Jamie managed to knock it out of the park! I've purchased all of the 'Taboos' courses and I'm never disappointed. Jamie uses his creativity and a variety of methods to bring you this wonderful story that all comes together for the perfect online séance. No stone is left unturned and with Facebook support, you will be able to recreate the whole experience for your audience. Highly recommend.

Where else can you get 4 hours of top class magic entertainment for £15? Add to that we learn how to perform a huge range of amazing spooky effects makes this unbelieavable value. Just using one or two effects will give your clients a great experience.

Once again Mr. Daws knocked it out the park. This has to be my favorite out of the TTT's so far. You can tell Jamie pays great attention to details when he puts a routine together. This is definitely worth way more than what you pay. Trust me this is definitely worth purchasing.

Fantastic routines and beautiful stories! Jamie share very useful links and information about how to build an electronic haunted bell and also many files and photos which we can use for the routines. Excellent!

Once again Jamie has done it. Despite the social distancing issues this year, Alakazam have put together what could be the best Tackling Terrifying Taboos yet. A fantastic act, with clever methods which had me fooled. Also nice to see Mr Terry Tyson passing on his thoughts and wisdom. If you love bizarre magic, then this is a no-brainer. Well done to all involved - Can't wait for TTT5

One of the real terrifying aspect is how Jamie comes up with a Unique complete act every year! And again smashes it! Not only with Incredible routines guaranteed to chill the bones. But ingeniously Justified methods. Also, the building of cost effective props And in TTT4's case electronic utility device that can be made for under £50 with no soldering or electronic experience. Simply Amazing.

I have attended all 4 of the Tackling Terrifying Taboo sessions at Alakazam and every year they get better and better. TTT4 was superb. The effects, the story, the presentation, the ideas just kept coming. Hats off to Jamie Daws and the Alakazam team - you pulled off another gem of a night.

Jamie Daws never ceases to amaze me with his Academies and this one just raised the bar again. A very different format to his previous Academies as he put on a complete show featuring various effects that worked seamlessly and then at the end he went through everything in great detail. So whether you are looking for some great spooky effects or a masterclass on how to put on a show then this is an Academy not to miss. I can highly recommend this Academy to anyone Brilliant.

Astonishing.. The methods and theory of mentalism dark haunting spirits, storytelling and pure entertainment putting a haunted set together. A must have , a must to be there LIVE , even though you get it downloaded into your account or to your computer. Jamie has continued to inspire me yet i am so behind and slow compared to how easy he makes things. I hope one day to be at your speed Jamie, and for now will continue to be amazed, Alakazam Academy feels like home, and it feels good to be back! If this is available for download, ADD TO CART!!!!! An option that might not be available in the future, take advantage of the taped course, still learn everything / watch and will be directed to all info needed as you go through it. Happy Hauntings Covid 2020, ALAKAZAMFAM, YOU ROCK! - Andrew Ace

This was another great installment in this series! We got to experience a full length show and then learn the details of the secrets behind the effects as well as being treated to a plethora of performance tips. Everything presented was real-world practical and additionally was well suited to virtual shows. I have all four of the "Tackling Terrifying Taboos" and this one is as excellent as the rest. Jamie provides new ideas, and his guests bring added insights. I am looking forward to (hopefully) another session next year.

Although I did not think that this was an academy for me! However having booked and watched it along with Jamie's other Academy's I have learned so much It was worth every penny.

I've done all the TTTs and each one pushes the bar higher. So many great ideas and intriguing stories in this one. Even if bizarre is not your thing, this is a master class in routining many effects together and building into a consistent story. The effects could be adapted for a more general mentalism presentation. Highly recommended.

Brilliant evening. As with everything Jamie releases this Academy is well thought out and he has clearly spent a lot of time and work into it. Plenty for me to think about and work on. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you Jamie and Alakazam.

Jamie and the team does it again. You are not just provided with tricks. But a full hour plus show! You get a nice preview of his latest release. An interesting concept with Zenar symbols. A very well timed jump scare to boot as well. So guys and girls, buy this you won't be disappointed.

Wow awesome! There were so many great effects in this academy. All rolled into an awesome full show with brilliant storytelling. Great explanations too! Worth every single penny!

I never knew all the history surrounding the ouija, but TTT4 showed us all that the spirits are indeed amongst us. TTT4 was wonderfully scary many times and thoroughly enjoyable experience. A complete show for your Halloween.
