I meant Luna the actual person/character, not Luna the book test trilogy.

I got mine and it is beautiful. I have not read the mechanics at this hour but the physical Diary itself is quite creepy and very well created. Definitely an object that will compel curiosity.
Congrats Vic and Rick! I'm going to go study it now. |

Lillian just arrived. Amazing, beautiful, tragic, glorious. We are off for a walk.

Received mine- and it is a work of art. The aging is absolutely spot on, it truly looks and feels like a lost book from that time period should. The workings are devious, and the entrys are creepy to say the least. I'm going to weave this story into a full blown seance. I applaud Outlaw for going hardcover- keep up the great work guys. I can't wait to see what you cook up next.

Just got the Diary and have barely had time to read the booklet of suggestions.
I have been into Magic for over thirty years and I can honestly say -for the first time -that Vic and Roth (would have said Rick but don't know about the rhyme) have come up with an absolutely unique project. I hope I won't give away much, but don't expect an extensive script. Wow!! These boys actually give their customers credit for being performers of the bizarre. There is no limit to personalization of Lillian's Diary. This is not a cookie cutter effect that another performer watching a presentation will view with a knowing grin. It is haunting and when you read Vic's introduction, there will be goosebumps. Lillian has the potential to be the most incredible thing I own, but that will be my responsibility. I am confident enough to believe in my abilities and imagination as I keep perking with thoughts. If you are an aficionado of the genre, thie mos grist for the mill. |

Just received mine today. It certainly looks and even feels like a book that's more than 75 years old. As a number of people have pointed out, "haunting" is the best one-word description. Given the linkages between Lillian and other points within the back story universe Rick has created and expanded through a number of products, not to mention the way in which the Diary itself is structured, there are any number of directions in which this effect can be taken. One of the best things about Outlaw's effects is the way they stimulate the imagination and Lillian's Diary is a perfect example.

Well said Spindoc. You took the words right out of my mouth.
Some people use the mother of all booktests...Lillian's Diary is THE Mother F'er of any and all booktests period. No offense intended |

Thought I'd bump this thread back up to the top as there doesn't seem to be much conversation here on at the Penny forum about "Lillian's Diary." I was initially excited about this book because it claims a different method than the "Luna"/"WA"/"Reflections" one. How are you people liking this, and, without revealing, of course, can anyone address what they like or don't about the technique used?

After a long delay, I finally received my copy of Lillian last week and I must confess that I am impressed with its look and workings. Thank you Rick and Vic for the team effect. Now to work on developing a routine utilizing it!

I like the fact that the effect can be spun either light or dark. I also like the aspect of audience involvement in the revelation part of that kind of presentation.
Because no in depth direct patter is included it's a challenge to come up with a script for Lillian's outside of just doing the effects that are possible. There's nothing I don't like about Lillian's. It is quite different from the other outlaw booktests and presented in the right manner it will be a killer. It's not like the Luna series or WA where the method is pretty much cut and dry with some memory work. Lillian's goes a bit farther and feels like it completes a circle within itself. I think that it's most important to establish a mood when working with this one before you start using it. It's not a cookie cutter booktest at all. It's great. |

How would lillian do in a walk around situation??

Others may disagree with me, but Lillian's Diary is more suited to an intimate or seance type of presentation. Even if done as a singular booktest a mood should be set that walk around presentations don't allow for. That being said I know that some have posted here that they use WA for walk around and I would not but Lillian's Diary is still quite different from WA or other booktests.
Come to think of it I wouldn't call Lillian's a booktest...more like an act unto itself. |
