Decoded Decoded Decoded Decoded Decoded Decoded Decoded

This two-disc DVD Set is unlike any you have experienced before. On Decoded, Morgan & West reveal the artistry behind their "code" act. You'll learn how to secretly communicate with an onstage partner to divine serial numbers, the value of pocket change, a randomly chosen word from a book, and much, much more.

But what if you don't have a partner on stage? The entire of disc one is dedicated to learning their fantastic technique for training absolutely anyone to divine information and objects on the spot, within two minutes. You can key in a friend or spouse to perform magic with you, without any advance rehearsal or preparation, and have the same impact as a professional double-act.

The first DVD focuses on casual coding effects to perform with a friend or spouse as your accomplice, where they can learn the code in minutes, including:

  • How to code the colour and value of a playing card
  • A clever multi-phased "Which Hand" routine where you guess which of four spectators hold the coin
  • A drawing duplication
  • A Multiple Selection routine where you find spectator's cards while blindfolded

The second DVD contains Morgan and West's professional code routine, as performed on television shows such as Next Great Magician in the UK and Penn & Teller: Fool Us. They even teach their famously guarded secret of being able to code the number, total value and denominations of coins a spectator holds, plus the last-four digits of their credit cards. Their routine has fooled magicians for years, and now you can learn the full workings!

No electronics or phones are needed; the entire system is based on the words, pauses, and body language you use onstage, and these closely guarded secrets are being revealed for the first time by the inimitable Morgan & West. As one of the UK's most popular double-acts, Morgan & West perform on stages around the world as Victorian time-travelling magicians. You will see footage from their live show using the techniques on Decoded.

"Morgan & West have come up with a genuine classic in DECODED. Stylish, ultra-clever and probably the best release we've had the pleasure of watching in almost 15 years of Magicseen magazine."Graham Hey, Magicseen Magazine

Charlie

Super impressive body of work. Worth the time and effort.
Versatile principles that can be applied to other routines easily. Also, fun to watch!

This is an excellent download if you ever want to learn the secrets of coding within a Magic setting. It starts of with a few simple techniques, and progressively gets harder as you gain more experience. I tried the simple stuff using my 12 year old daughter to fool the rest of the family and it worked really well. It does of course need plenty of practice but is really worth the effort if you like this kind of thing. Mo.

I am not interest in performing mentalism, but was curious to learn some the techniques involved for my own personal edification. The gentlemen presented the rudimentary concepts of coding by first giving a performance of a trick, followed by a clear, concise explanation/discussion of the method they used. It's a wonderful lecture/class.

This was an excellent purchase. The performances were baffling and fun to watch. I was completely fooled. And the instructions following the performances are terrific. Both guys are hilarious, but they are excellent teachers. I highly recommend the videos and can't wait to try this material out.

The download is divided into two parts. The first part is basic coding that you can do almost impromptu or with minimal practice. While this won't give you a full mentalism act, it will give you some basic material, some of which scales to some solid mentalism. This is something you can easily do with a fellow magician as a quick and dirty duo act or with your spouse for after dinner entertainment. Part 1 is worth the price of the download.

The second part is where the mentalism gets truly impressive. It build on what you learned in the first part, but is not something you will do with your spouse as a parlor trick. This material has quite a bit of memorization and will require practice both for the send and receiver to make this natural. This is not something you will do casually. It really is something to be done as part of a duo act. However, understanding this will help inform what you learned in part one.

Excellent system that is well thought out and expertly taught. Starts with simple concepts and then builds upon a logical system for two person routines. Second download talks about stage systems which require further training but again they are easily accessible with proper training and practice. Highly recommended as an advanced telepathy act.

 
Reviewer

Absolutely brilliant. Packed full of real world material in an easy to understand format. Highly recommended not only for mentalists but anyone looking to increase their knowledge.

If you are part of a two person act, Decoded is without a doubt a must have for you. Even if you know nothing about coding, this DVD is a thoroughly entertaining introduction to the matter by the wonderful Morgan and West. By the end of watching, you will know how to communicate a fair amount of information impossible to your partner invisibly, allowing for some of the most incredible, direct and powerful mentalism routines one can do. It takes practice, but it is bound to pay off for anyone wanting to try.

I am so grateful I bought this video. Superb material, simple yet thoughtful and effective techniques.

Decoded, this is excellent, a great video, nice clean back drop, clean setting, play time is just over three hours, demos, and tutorials are all fully explained, very enjoyable to watch, and very easy to follow, they even blind folded Andi, which i found amusing in the method they used to do this.
once you have watched just the first part of this video, you will be able to do some off these effects straight away,
Just follow the methods demonsted.

I have enjoyed seeing Morgan and West at The Session and on TV, but I hesitated to buy DECODED at first since I don’t perform with a partner. Based on other reviews, however, I did purchase a copy and am very glad I did. The two DVDs are entertaining to watch and I admired the thought they had put into their routines. Moreover, I found several techniques that I can easily teach my wife for informal demonstrations at social gatherings. I recommend this highly!

This is a great start into code work. I love how they break down the code into steps from basic to more complex. I can’t wait to find someone to perform this with.

My wife and I have been discussing for a while the idea of us doing a show together... Well when I saw Decoded at Magic Live, I knew this was what we've been waiting for.

It takes lots of practice. Let's be honest. The great pieces do take practice. But what I love about this is that the practicing is fun and watching M & W interact on stage and in the instructions... I feel like they're in my apartment giving us our own private tutorial.

Not only is this worth 10/10 but the fact is, these guys are gentlemen and that makes things that much more better.

If you haven't bought it yet. Buy it now. Even if you don't have a partner to perform with. There are some methods to quickly teach a friend to code.

Thanks guys for sharing with the community!

I love all things Morgan and West - so I bought this as soon as it was released at The Session convention.

Whether you want to learn a couple of quick bits or a full coding routine then this is the dvd for you.

To be fair, even if you have no interest in coding at all then this is still a beautiful opportunity to watch two masters of their craft at work! :)

Decoded is a modern way of looking at an age old principle. Fresh, fun to perform and absolute stunning to your audience! Pick up ANYONE and start to learn and perform decoded right now! :-)

I was lucky enough to win a copy of this (which I was going buy it anyway).
The way the dvds are contructed works well. It starts very easy ( my 5 year old son performs it with me for friends) upto their most famous routine that is mind blowing. They make the teaching light hearted and entertaining.
Even if you don’t work with anybody else it is worth seeing how coding works and its potential.

A great intro to 2 person telepathy! There are ideas in here for all levels of skill. If you have in interest in 2 person telepathy definitely get Decoded and a friend. Morgan and West even explain their full act as seen on tv, just remember this type of act takes time to master but is well worth the effort.

A fabulous intro into code work, by two chaps who are so entertaining to watch that it's like watching a movie on tv: we laughed, and learned some basic code work in just minutes! Two thumbs up!!
