Regarding this effect by Will Tsai (and trying to be as circumspect by my question as possible), can the CD player that is used for the effect also play regular CDs both before and after the prediction CD is inserted into the CD player and the prediction CD is played? If the answer is "yes", than a person could have such a player "laying around the house" playing CDs and, when the participant shows up at your house with the prediction CD, you could take out a music CD that is playing and pop in the prediction CD. If such could be accomplished as part of the instructions in the Prediction DVD kit, that result would be awesome.
Thanks for any info in this regard. And, if you feel such information is better left private, please feel free to PM me with any such info. Mike

Also regarding this effect. I cannot find the same model as used in the demo. I know however that this is not necessary for the effect but is more convenient. Could you suggest a similar model which would be best for the effect. Just a question of not buying too many Boomboxes.
Thanks! |

My biggest gripe at the moment is I just received the DVD and have gone shopping online for the model Tsai uses (for convenience since one of the gimmicks provided are custom for that model) and for the life of me, cannot find a place that sells it. I looked everywhere, everything is either discontinued or sold out.
Im assuming Tsai released the KIT version only recently and provides you with a few gimmicks for the provided model. Anyone know a place you can point me to, to get access to the CD player? I don't have to have spent $50 bucks to have only one shot at making it work on my own CD player which Im not very good at doing. |

Hi Turk,
From my viewing of the effect and how its constructed, you wont be able to play a normal music CD BEFORE you present the effect. Its technically "ready to go" the moment you open it up and put the spectators sealed CD inside... Basically without exposing the trick, one you are ready to present, that's it - and that means, if you have the player laying around the house to use the effect, its all intents and purposes, gimmicked and ready to go. |

Alakazam are selling this kit but I am worried about being able to find the correct cd player so I think I will have to pass this one up as nobody seems able to find the player:(
By failing to prepare, we are preparing to fail.

I think this is precisely why he is selling the kits the CD player has been discontinued and he probably had a lot of the parts made up. I am glad since I have the original.

You don't need the original player just buy a player with the needed specifications and you are ready to go .
My Player was 20 Euro and it works great.I also modyfied it so it can be closed at the beginning. |

The kit includes a gimmick that is specially made to work with RCA brand model number RCD2279. It also includes a gimmick that you can customize to use with "any" "similar" cd player.
Honestly, it's a bit of work. Don't know if I'll get around to doing it. "The real secret," Will says, is that when he predicts money values he is off by $1000 and then he donates a check for $1000 at every performance. He suggests we do the same thing because it "doesn't matter anyway." You get that money back as a tax write-off. Who is his accountant? |
