Just got mine today. All I can say is wow... The craftsmanship of the items supplied is a thing of beauty. This is a great piece to perform right out of the box. The playing cards look so good all ready aged.. Nice work on the photo as well. I can't tell you how nice this whole package looks, you have to see for yourself..I will be using this tomorrow! Thanks Jamie for another killer effect! The only thing I hope is this trend of effects (Heirloom,Legacy).. Underground puts out will not come to an end. Peace!

Wow - thanks Rick - glad you're pleased with it!

Today I finished the write up of the stuff I wanted to get in to the free download we're making available to anyone who buys Legacy - this contains some additional hints and tips, an updated version of the handling and a bonus routine that will make you smile!

Cheers,

Jamie.

OK here is an Update on my puppy Athena, Picked her up from the Vet a whooping $900, but needless to say that she said that we should monitor her for a bit but for the most part she is out of the woods. Thank god she was really tired last night but got home from work today and is a lot more active... Thanks a lot guys for the prayers, I never thought I would be a Dog guy but you grow attached to these little monsters... Here is her after we got her and when she saw her brother again... OH YEAH I opened my mailbox today and got a package, when I opened it I was suprised with what I got, I thought about the method IE with Killer Elite but was pleasantly surprised at the quality of everything you get, From Wallet to Revelations. Surpassed what I thought it to be and can not wait to play with this.. GREAT GREAT JOB Jamie and all who had part in this Gem. VERY VERY VERY Pleased... Hope to have my own vid of me performing this, this week on my youtube page...

WOW LOVE THIS THING!!!! This is how a Close-up effect should look. a Really nice effect made up of really nice and believable props that will last. And the irony here is, the older the props get the more realistic it becomes... LOVE IT!!! Jamie I too like your presentation in the notes and for the EXtra thing.. Awesome if you want to go that Route...

Glad you like it and pleased to hear your dog's doing Ok.

Should be releasing the free ebook soon with the additional handling and ideas etc. This will really elevate the routine even further for you I think...

I should point out that the alternate route that Paisa23 refers to is not the ebook bonus stuff but is that we have provided an additional 'prop' in the package that allows the purist mentalist to present the routine without a potentially 'magical' result. We try to think of
everybody ;-)

Jamie, I cant wait! I keep going back and forth with the alternate Prop, the magician in me says YEAH but the sometime mentalist is saying NO DO IT THIS WAY! Only issue I see with the original is that it might raise a question or challenge. Rick what do you say and Jamie, what do you use? Aksi just want to add why I Love the OBO out for Heirloom becuase it makes the story so much more powerful...

So far I have been using this the non magical way so to speak. I have used this at least 20 times now and have much success with it. I have been asked a couple times though can I do this again, and I say yes but... I never got to tell you about my uncle yadda and go into Heirloom if need be. (EX.)I came from a long line of traveling card players..etc...

Legacy – By the Underground Collective and The Vanishing by John Allen
I love the concepts of this effect. Many years ago I released an effect called Horrific Vacation. This I would do along with Heirloom and it killed. Combining two strong effects back to back to me has always been a win win. For one once you go into the next effect they normally do not ask you to repeat. Their fill of amazement is satisfied back to back.
Since I received Legacy I placed The Vanishing by John Allen cards in the pocket along with the Legacy playing cards. As soon as I open the wallet to start Legacy I take out the little envelope for the Vanishing and place that on the table and explain that I will get to that in a moment but first let me introduce you to my late mentor in magic.

Anyone who has read my book Taking Center Stage will know I love story based Mentalism. Legacy just like Heirloom is so customizable and the routine fits just about every type of performer. By combining this with The Vanishing it allows me to go even deeper. As soon as I am done performing Legacy I then say how my mentor had a mentor who he studied and that being Houdini. Since both props are aged everything fits nicely.

Don’t get me wrong Legacy and The Vanishing stand on their own as stand along effects, however if you want something that will give you a bang bang back to back then I suggest you give these two effects a try together. Then for a third routine, go into Heirloom why not it would be the icing on the cake.
Good job Jamie and Colin once again you guys turned out a great effect

Very pleased with Legacy. The props are fantastic and the instructions are nicely printed on thick paper. (Glad this didn't come with dvd instructions as I'm getting tired of all the dvds that come with simple tricks these days). Everything is clearly explained and the props are a joy to handle. Well done to everyone involved with this project.

Hey that's a nice video Paisa - thanks for posting! The guy peeked too soon though ;-)

BTW Floyd - I'm gonna grab me a copy of The Vanishing now. The current handling I have for Legacy would work nicely for this - I'll explain once I've put out the freebie that updates you guys on how I'm doing it now.

Cheers,

Jamie.

Yeah I saw that but I wanted the Right reveal in order to post. If I would have posted any other ways that the effect can go then that might have given it away to others who have seen Josh's Demo on the website. I have better reactions of other performances but for those that do not have one I couldn't put those up..Cant wait to see what you come up with and Vanishing sounds awesome.

Is the right video? This is Mark Jenest's Chaptrick. Was hoping to see Legacy.

It's a tricky one to demo in that respect but most likely by now anyone reading this thread has pieced together the basic
method if not the entire handling. Inevitably other videos will show different handlings but even an eager magician figures out the whole thing, the quality and specification of the product should mean it's not viable for anyone to make a homebrew version.

And if a layman's so eager as to chase down multiple videos across the Internet through a multitude of forums then... Well he should become
a magician since he has the right mindset ;-)

Cheers
