Wander wizard, thank you for you review! So glad you are enjoying it! Im glad it is better than you expected! Always nice to receive a trick and for it to surprise us!

Paul, there are many versions of this around! I was unable to find a version which met my needs though. Non that allowed the spectator to feel like, they never let go of their selection. A version that required no gimmicks and nothing other than the photos provided and a version which allowed things to be written on the back of the photos. This, to me feels like the version I could never find! And I love performing it

As a photographer I use images a lot in my own effects.
And am always interested in other people's effects when Photos are involved.
I will be picking this up at Blackpool in a couple of days.

Steve

Hi Jamie, Just ordered this. I am going to use it with LUNA from Outlaw effects, all based around an lunatic asylum. I will stamp 'Insane' and 'Sane' on the backs and use it in the same manner as your trailer. Just a different outcome, really looking forward to getting it.
Paul.

Stephen, Its so nice when two world clash together and make something all together more interesting! Photography and magic are one in the same to me. Photographs are real magic to me. They are time machines, memories, evidence, they are the sea, the living and they allow us to see what we really shouldn't be able to, over and over again. So I'm with you, I love photographs in magic and no doubt, they'll always inspire me in what I do!

Paul, that's such a wicked idea man! Love the insane idea! Might be a nice notion to tell them it is a test that the doctors would give the patients of the hospital in order to determine whether they are intact insane. That somehow, one insane person can detect another. Tell them 8 of the photos are intact normal patients and two are insane. Then at the end of the trick, you are basically suggesting that your spectators may intact be mentally insane! XD

Im so glad you are all enjoying it! The guys will be demming it at the Alakazam stand at Blackpool! However, if like me you can sadly not get to the convention, My stock is arriving tomorrow! Ive got a creepy page set up for it! http://jamiedaws.co.uk/jamiedaws/thedeceased.html

As always, if you have any more questions, please let me know!

Jamie Daws

Hi Jamie, thanks for the reply. That is exactly my intention. In fact that is my exact story line. Great minds think alike.

Best of luck with it.
Paul.

Be good to have this for the weekend! Fingers crossed

Paul, that's a very good premise indeed! I like it!

Anybody received deceased from Jamie's stock yet?

Just received this today and absolutely love it. In my patter I will speak of the famous "Vanslight psychic trial" and how accusations of psychic powers brought ten people together in a court room In the late 1800's. Two accused psychics and eight jury members. Can you find the accused psychics from the group of ten? I predict you will...

Good magic to all,


Eric

I even throw in the juror number!

Was it from Jamie's stock or Alakazam's? Just looking for some info whether Jamie started sending his orders already.

I'm waiting on mine. Sent Jamie an email a few days ago, but no reply yet.

I'm watching for the postie too..........

So sorry for the delay in rep;sing guys! As you can imagine, its been a crazy couple of days!

Ive just this morning collected the rest of my stock from Alakazam so the latest you should receive your parcel is Thursday if you're in the UK. Some US orders were sent out with the first batch last week!

I was just talking to Peter up at the shop and he's just told me he's finished filming an extra for the Alakazam account. He handed me a set of photos which I believe Moz who works with Alakazam has hand aged and they look absolutely incredible! Honestly, they look so authentic! They have filmed an explanation of how to age the photos which I think has added so much value to this as a product! So when you get the DVD, please don't forget to register it at the Alakazam Magic website because they guys are doing so much to add to this product!

If anyone has any other questions, please don't hesitate to contact me! Im also on Facebook which is normally a quicker way to get hold of me!

I would love to read a review of this from someone who has received it and tried it out, when possible.

Thanks.

Ok actually tried this yesterday. It went over way better than I thought it would! And I mean way better. I got the old "Wait wait do that again.". Guys this is a very nice effect and I highly recommend it. The pictures are nice and I like the small size of the photos. I'm very pleased with this and as I said earlier I use a psychic trial as my story. It went very well. Hope this helps. Btw I ordered from Hocus Pocus magic and they sent it this past Friday.

Good magic to all,


Eric

Most importantly my beautiful wife enjoys this.

Eric! So glad it went well and you're enjoying it! I think the power in this effect is amazing and I agree, you'd never expect to get such amazing reactions from something so simple but theres something so eerie and different about it, it just affects people!

Just thought id mention, Peter has just added a brilliant video with Moz on how to age your photos in a clever and brilliant way! I have a set of the ones Moz aged himself and they are quite stunning! Infant, ill be using his raging method on all of my photos from now on! They look amazing! Just log into your Alakazam account, go to Register Product, type in the code Dave mentions on the DVD and you'll have immediate access to the extra videos!

I've posted some HD photos of the aged set on my Facebook so check them out!

Jamie Daws

Jamie this is a fantastic idea! However I have to admit it is 2:40 am here in California and I so wish I would have just checked in at the Café as I normally do at 7am. But I did as you advised and registered this with Alakazam and watched the aging process of the cards. It was an eye opener and I can't wait to age them. I have often wondered how that was done.

Thank you very much and now it is off to my bed for a few more hours of much needed sleep. Of course with this process in my head I'm sure I know what I'll be thinking about as Mr. Sandman finally sprinkles his sleeping dust.

Thanks again.

Good magic to all,


Eric

Just aged my photos and they look awsome! This is a beautiful touch.

Good magic to all,


Eric

I have an easy handling tip. When getting the two cards in the right position you can do this by simply showing the person how you want them to take one card and put it to the back. Do this twice and you are then ready to deal out the cards. Pm me if you have any questions.

Good magic to all,


Eric

Looking forward to picking this up Saturday.
