In the short time I’ve known Andreu, I’ve come to admire the way his mind works.

Andreu, I’ve come to admire the way his mind works.

He has a knack for taking clever effects and systems and turning them into something

even cleverer; Tribal Mentalism is a great example of this. Be on the lookout for some

more great ideas from him!

We are all familiar with the Binary System and its applications for use in the realm of

mentalism, and it is indeed one of my favorite methods. Andreu introduced me to a

similar, but more multifaceted system; the Quaternary System. I was not familiar with

this system being used in mentalism, and was pleasantly surprised with is relative

simplicity and it numerous possibilities.

After a brief discussion with Andreu regarding the Quaternary System he immediately
