Here is his independent review of my book, Devil's Tarot, for The Magic Circle's magazine (November 2025):
It's rare that anything new comes into my running show, but PI Max is a brilliant system that takes a few hours to learn and then you never forget it. The audience is instantly blown away. I recommend the original system from Vincent Hedan.
Haiku permet de faire voyager le spectateur, très simple à réaliser avec un résultat poétique sensationnel.
Cela donne envie de faire ce tour de ,mentalisme encore et encore, très satisfait de mon achat je recommande.
In his book "Your mind is still my playgroud" describes Vincent Hedan 11 mental routines. 5 of these tricks, I will implement in my standard program, because they are outstanding in point of vue of entertainment, easy to perform and highlighted with very good histories. Everything is well thought out. Furthermore, there are two chapters on theory, worth to read as well.
The props you need to perform are easy to get and cheap or you have them at home.
So, my conclusion: a wonderful book, every Dollar worth of the money. Highly recommended.
Wow Vincent Hedan really stumped me with his card magic.
His presentation is tidy and at times even funny! A funny Frenchmen, yes apparently the do exist!
The premises are well thought out and his brain is like a supercomputer!
I recommend this for anyone who likes Mentalism and Card magic.
On going through Babel it was quite obvious that a lot of thought had gone into preparing the Babel Book Test;and,in order for a performer to perform Babel confidently and well a thorough grounding in the methods involved needs to be done.
Definitely not a book test for the casual lackluster performer.What is required is a performer who can bring a sparkle to, wow the audience,put on the gold dust and do justice to Vincent Hedan's brilliant methods in Babel.
If you can do that you definitely won't be disappointed with the product.
