The possibilities of this are endless. You want to know the name of someone's first kiss ... Train track it, where somebody is going on holiday ... Train track it ..... A star sign? ..... Train track it. The price of a pound of bacon ... Train track it ... Ok you can't do that last one but you could train track that they had bacon in their sandwich. First letter for Moab .. Train track it, in fact forget the first letter, borrow a book, tell them to pick any word, any length, any page then train track that bugger right out of their head.
Actually wait a minute, I don't want you buggers train tracking, forget all that, it's decidedly average, you wouldn't like it, I may just take a kidney from each kid and buy them all and burn them to protect you all from such an undesirable little thing .... You will thank me for it ..... Honest. Now move along, nothing to see here. Mark |

And yes, in retrospect, the last two sentences of my previous post are really, incredibly open to horrific abuse.
Best, Atlas |

I contacted Atlas about a Skype demo of this. Can't wait to be "Train Tracked".

Lol at the veto. This sounds wonderful and well worth paying a premium for.
Limited is cool, and I fully respect a creators right to release their babies into the world as they see fit, I'm just pretty chill and don't like to make purchases in a rush. If quanity available is enough as to where I don't have to hover over a mouse at a pre-determined time, I'm still in. =) |

But performers who have been "train tracked" describe the word choice as "genuinely free" and "without restriction". But I don't know for sure. Just going by what has been posted.

I've also been inundated with requests to demonstrate Train Tracking over Skype. Again, I apologize, but unless you are someone I have already met and know personally, I won't consider it. I just don't have enough time to make that a possibility. Best, Atlas |

To what extent can this withstand scrutiny if you have a crowd and one of the members of the crowd videotapes a performance. Is it something that can be easily backtracked on video, since it potentially relies on linguistic deception?

Thanks Patrick, Todd and George.
Mike - the method really lends itself to 'jazz' performances and as a result, there are a lot of different ways to present this. When I include Train Tracking in my stage performances, there is nothing to see that an audience could use to backtrack. Up close or over the phone, there are several ways that you can make the final revelation - making backtracking more impossible. But, in general, because what happens is so impossible - especially since you only do something and the rest of the something is never addressed, the participant can't see a way forward and can't reason out what happened. Plus, in certain situations, there are some pretty nice things that you can do that have no something or other and the participant who may have had a theory has it instantly erased. Alex - Yes, this is an English only effect, but the method can be applied to other languages. I just don't speak them and don't have the capacity to make those alterations where needed. If you are fortunate enough to be bilingual, then once you understand the method, I'd expect you to be able to make this work for your chosen language. Blake - I am working to finish the book before I make any firm decisions on pricing. Right now, I'd expect the book to cost around £150 and be ready around the end of June. I haven't decided exactly how many copies will be made or how to release this. I may release all the books at once, or I may release them in waves over several years in a manner similar to the way the Grismer lock is sold. For those who are interested, I've included an extract from the book: 'You now have in your hands the most closely guarded secret that I have to offer. Imagine being on the phone with a potential client, and performing Train Tracking for them. Reading the mind of a person that you just met over a long distance and under impossible circumstances. I've booked shows using nothing but this method. After reading this book, you will have the ability to ask someone to think of a word, and you'll be able to tell them what they were thinking of – with no props of any type involved, and, should you so choose, from a distance. I've had several other performers tell me that this ability is their 'Holy Grail'. What is perhaps the best thing about this method, is that it has an inherent versatility that lends itself to creativity and flexibility in presentation. This will be evidenced in the text that follows. But before we proceed, I'll give you a warning – There is work to be done here. I am evidence that it is thoroughly possible, and I can promise you that the reward is worth the labor. There is freedom that comes with the mastery of this method. It imbues you with a unique sense of confidence – you are comfortable in your own skin and never again shrink when confronted with the question: “You're a mind reader? What am I thinking of then?”' I hope that helps to address some of the questions out there. Thanks to all for your interest and enthusiasm. Best, Atlas |
