The first question is about the Optical Brain-wave Illusion. It's in his new book but he also sells it as a gimmicked item. Seeing it's in the book, is it a gimmick we can make?
The second has to do with his impromtu "any card at any number." It's in his new book and he also sells the manuscript individually. I know a lot has been said about it, but do you believe it's worth $20. Is it really as clean as described? Thanks

I can only speak on the CAAN effect. It is that good and looks that clean.

The Thought of Card at Any Number is a close-up trick (the one sold separately, that also appears as a PDF on the PDF CD). This trick is really good. Well scripted. It's clear why this is his favorite card trick; it is one of mine, too.
The mechanics of the rice jar trick predates Tarbell. It doesn't really belong to anyone. Kind of like the Linking Rings, or Cups and Balls. Barrie includes two routines for doing this trick, each for a different situation. Barrie is like the nicest most ethical guy you'd ever want to meet. I wouldn't worry about him penguining a trick.

Penguining a trick is that a new term. I think it fits.

Platt.
The Optical Brain-wave Illusion uses a common gimmick and I am sure you already own one. My suggestion is to buy the book instead of purchasing it by itself because you also get a lot more tricks. As stated before the impromtu "any card at any number." is not the same as what is in his book. I was hoping that it was. Magico |

Penguin: v., meaning to produce a magic trick for 20% of the quality at 80% of the price without acknowledging or compensating the originator

Can someone who have read the book can confirm this.
Does the Any card Any »Number from act 2 is the same that they sell for 20»$? thanks |

Devilix:
None of the three card at any number effects in Act Two are the same as the Thought of Card at Any Number effect sold separately for $20.00. However, the CD called "43 Routines, Tricks and Devices" has a PDF on it which is the same thing as the $20.00 effect mentioned above. The CD is about $35.00. Thread Cooler |

I know that Untouch is one, what are the names of the other two?

Hey: I understand from the above posts, that the card at any number manuscript is not in Act 2. Just wondering if this routine was in the original theatre of the mind. I doubt it is, but I have theatre of the mind on its way and I am thinking about picking up the new CD-Rom as well and I hope there is not a lot of duplication. Thanks!!
