I read through this last night when I got home and was absolutely blown away with the thinking and creativity contained in it.
Not only is the method diabolically clever, it's also original to Thom. Using the Technique outlined in the book, Thom describes 3 routines that allow some very magical moments between specatators and also between the performer and spectator, and I Mean VERY magical moments. As well as the 3 effects from Thom using the method, there is a very moving peice from Sean Waters, that made me want to go out and buy "ponderings", (and I will if this is the level of material that sean is putting out)And also a contribution from Banachek. The effect Lightwish will be going straight into my routine. Although I have several ideas expanding thoms method, that I look forward to discussing with him. I will also mention a couple of bonus effects at the end of the manuscript; Identity - With shades of reminiscence, this is a character profiling effect where the spectator embodies the character and the performer reads the traits and is able to identify who the character is. Nice!! 332- there is many ways this can be played.. even over the phone. the spectator uses 3 items. Thinks of 1.. A bit of patter and the performer can identify which object the spectator is mearly thinking of. Now to me, all that lot is a bargain for $25 or £12.50. keep your eyes on Thom, he is a very clever guy. http://7mb.com/strangethoughts/daivernon.html Mescalito

I posted a review of this over in the ebook section.
Great book! Thom is a wonderful thinker and puts a lot of emphasis on really connecting with his audience. On top of that, a really unique and useful concept. D |

I got this too and Banachek's routine in there is superb! Well done to Thom for some great thinking. I am thinking of applications for me at the moment, even though I suggested one to Thom we couldn't find the right source to credit so it couldn't be included. Its a great piece.

I posted this elsewhere:
Thom is a very clever guy! I first encountered his brilliant thinking in Kenton Knepper's, "The Secret". Thom's "The car" idea, in Kenton's book, demonstrated his creative ability, and was a useful method that could be applied to any number of ideas. In essence, Thom plants a thought in the spectator's mind that they cannot deny. An intriguingly direct idea. Then, I bought Thom's "Tommy Pad" which is a very clever and straightforward method. There is simply nothing to find. This demonstrated that Thom's "The Car" was not merely a "flash in the pan". He consistently thinks in a lateral fashion. Two for two! In his latest offering, "Lightwish 332", Thom (again) demonstrates his incredible ability to find clever, latent applications within everyday objects. His "lightwish" method is yet another example of his gifted "eyesight". Basically his method is an intriguing psychometric principle that is an intrinsic property (I will say no more). Thom has developed a wonderful method that is only limited by your imagination. Another favorite of mine is his "Identity" routine, which is in the ebook as well. Thom also includes a clever impromptu effect, as well. Over the last year, Thom and I have become friends and I am honored that he allowed me to offer a presentation for his excellent idea. In short, each of the routines and methods are very practical and can be applied to close-up or stage/parlour seetings. I have appreciated his creativity and wonderful insights. Great work, Thom. Thanks for sharing! With Regards, Sean |

Thom Bleasdale has recently sent me a supplement to Lightwish. There are some great ideas within it. Kneppers contribution is brilliant. It opens up Lightwish to so many themed presentations.

Indeed it is Ken, indeed it is....hang on....!
Thanks to the contributions from some brilliant thinkers and performers it has been taken to a whole new level. I would like to say a public thank you to Kenton, Banachek, Sean Waters, Kennedy, Mark Townsend and Andy Fisher, and all you guys for your kind words, it means a lot to me. Also, Anthony Jacquin has a fantastic routine presentation that I'm hoping he'll let me put in the next supplement...we'll have to wait and see. Thank you again. |

The supplement is out there in such a good direction.
I'm a big fan of Thom's, and the reason is that he comes up with diabolcally gentle yet powerful things like lightwish. Bravo Thom! |
