Without getting into excessive detail, I'd suggest that in this case (as in many cases) the "effect" is something the spectators experience only in their own minds.
Nate's "effect" is no doubt unique to the various background activities used to generate a final result.
What I've been referring to is the methods and principals used to prepare the billet itself, and then get that appropriate billet to the right place onstage, and then into the spectators hands for the final phase of the "effect" to take place.
But it matters not!, as the book is completely sold out (according to the author, never to be re-released) and only a few copies to date have shown up for re-sale.
I would posit that for those who might want to perform something similar to this, they're on their own to research and ultimately to routine something of their own invention, and no doubt unique "effect".

I am an owner of this book. It's time to put to rest the posting of hints, possibilities, 'past methods', etc!

@guyactor
I am also an owner of this book.
I agree with you.
So why make this post?
The last post was almost two months ago...
Your comment only brings the subject back up again.
Let this thread die.

Most of the posts in this thread are by folks who've already bought the book trying very hard to feel good about purchasing it.
I'm sure the majority of the folks on the Café are pleased that you're all happy with your purchase, but it also seems that most posting to this thread are seriously prone to overstatement as to the "exclusivity" of the information they believe they now possess.
Most serious magicians and/or mentalists are already very well versed in this type of methodology (methodologies actually, as there are multiple methods that can be used to accomplish the effect(s) referenced in this book).
Congratulations to those who bought the book, and please DO enjoy your book (but unless you want to betray yourself as a total newb, chill on the overstatement).

OK - I'm usually pretty hopeless at working out magic tricks but have just watched the video a few times and have to agree that there doesn't seem to be much mystery to this one. We all know real magic doesn't exist and there is a method to everything. Given the additional spend required and an assistant I think it's pretty obvious how this is done. As for the book providing a new level of enlightenment - maybe - I guess I'll never know but think that Artie may have hit the nail right on the head here.
I say in 200 words what most people say in 20.

If you are hopeless at working out magic tricks but think you know all about this one, Im guessing you are wrong. But hopefully you will use your knoweldge and perform this. It is something that spectators remember for the rest of their lives.
