This is a pretty neat routine. I guess the biggest takeaway here would be the concept of shuffling the spectators instead of the cards. This is interesting and routines could be built around it. The mechanics of the routine are very simple and nearly automatic. It is also easy to customize some parts of the routine... you will know when you read it. All in all, I am happy with the purchase and I think you would be too...

I commend AK Dutt on a fantastic new release. The new methods given for performing an old classic are highly innovative. In fact, the creative thinking takes this far ahead of the original and IMHO this now qualifies to stand on its own. This revisit adds a lot of great value. Keep up the good work.

I am a big fan of Larry's Some Total... And later I was using another variation of Greg Arce till date..
Just read Some Total Redefined by AK.
Really, re-defined for the modern era... It has great potential that could floor your audience just about anywhere. And definitely will fool magicians too, even those who think they know the method.
Purchase this book and read it, then re-read it. You will get something new which will be fit to you even if you are performing mentalism or mental magic.
Truthfully, I thank AK for not keeping this one to himself, yet he might have kept this one to himself and made a great reputation off of it.
The author had well explained each and every thing, so that even if you are new to this plot, u won't go wrong.
My only major issue is the price. I think this is slightly UNDERpriced.
If you are into mentalism or mental magic, I would recommend you make the investment in this new book that I hope will become a modern classic.
I loved it...well worth the money! Looking forward more ideas from the author int the future

Some Total refined is simply a brilliant variation which can be performed without assistants. I have been performing the similar effect wherein volunteers call out digits in random order and it turns out to be the total of 5 five digit numbers previously sealed and handed to them. But I have always had to use a stooge as one of the volunteers to kick off this effect. Some total Refined enables the performer to get rid of this weakness. Congrats A K Dutt for thinking out of the box!

Just bought some total by Mr. A.K.Dutt. One of the best effect Re-Defined by Mr. Dutt.
Simplicity and to perform without assistant is one of the feature of this effect and most powerful key feature is the placing of the number is different positions and columns. which allows performer to stun repeat audiences. Hats off for this wonderful effect.
