“Christopher Taylor is simply a genius. Electronics, thematic, blocking, directing, teaching, the man is a REAL wizard. Even his worst ideas are gold”
Marc Salem
“Eric Samuels is a charming performer and a calculated thinker. A wonderful combination in itself, but his love of technology adds a whole different perspective to his mentalism.”
Colin Mcleod
“Eric is a very rare discovery in the world of mentalism… Sit back, keep your eyes, ears and brain open and learn from someone who has much to teach”
Luke Jermay
