Oz, if you are allowing the rum to spill anywhere but in mouths then you are not using the product properly. Please refer to the instruction manual.

1. Would anyone want that?
Yes 2. What is preferred (ebook or paperback)? Ebook 3. What would you pay for that? Call me cheap, yet personally I would never pay more than $100 USD for a paperback and no more than $60 USD for an ebook (and at $100 for paperback and $60 for an ebook they both better be thick, chunky, real world and practical), higher than that and you lose me as a customer. Perhaps your product is an exception due to its "electronic" nature, and especially if you were to manufacture the actual device itself? Then again, I have never seen anything I HAD to have that was for more than $200 USD (whether it be close-up or platform). Personally $200 is my cut-off range, and if an effect is over that price then I'll either recreate it myself or I'll pass on it. I don't care if it makes aliens materialize or causes participants to regurgitate, you would lose me after an asking price of over $200. That's just me though. 4. Alternatively, would you rather just buy the technology as a kind of "ghost box" pre-made? Depending on how simple or complicated it is to make, you might have better luck manufacturing it and selling it with a small operational manual and some performance ideas. Quick question Brandon, does your "ghost box" employ the use of infrasonics (LFS)?

I also suspected that he may be referring to infrasound. When I researched this several years ago I found that people who build and tested these set-ups for haunted houses and art installations had mixed results:
http://boingboing.net/2010/11/08/testing-infrasound-t.html Brandon's recent posts seem to assume that members of the forum have not already done the same research he has. I also recall that years later Mythbusters did an experiment with infrasound and found not reliable effect. |

AttnPls, yes I saw the same study, thank you for adding-on! And then on the other end of the sound spectrum we have "ultrasonics" which can actually be quite dangerous and hazardous to one's health, as it has been proven to cause regurgitation, blown eardrums, nausea, distorted vision from vibration of the eyeballs, and even hallucinations:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_weapon In my opinion, both ultrasonic and infrasonic sound would probably have an amazing yet frighteningly terrifying effect on a participating audience. I mean let us imagine for a moment, right in the middle of our seance, another "force" has somehow entered the closed circle from the ancestral realm and attempts to materialize itself in the presence of the sitters, yet only accomplishes to let out a godforsaken, unworldly, ineffable demonic SCREAMMMMM (hidden ultrasonic sound blast) instead of being able to manifest itself completely!!! Man oh man!!! Furthermore, the justification of the unfathomable demonic force not fully physically (visually) manifesting itself is that after a sonic sound blast like that, the sitters will no doubt obviously break the circle by letting go of each others hands around the table as a natural reaction to such a demonic and deafening unexpected high-pitched screech. Thus the performer could explain the reason "It" (THANKFULLY) did not physically manifest itself and that the scream only lasted a couple seconds because the circle was (again "THANKFULLY") broken as a natural reaction to the participants letting go of each other's hands while the evil force strove to manifest itself completely. (I guess I'm really revealing my twisted theatrical-side in this moment, lol.) However, I must add a disclaimer here, unless you are well covered insurance-wise and have personally supplied the sitters with "no-fault agreements" or waivers or whatever legal documents, etc., I personally wouldn't wanna take the risk. Who knows if these things (whether ultrasonic or infrasonic sound) screw with pacemakers or hearing aids, not to mentioned windows and glassware, etc. (can you imagine your crystal glass spirit bell, sitter's eyeglasses and all the windows in the room shattering from a short ultrasonic sound blast during a séance, whoa!!!!!!!!) I'm no expert on the subject... Has anyone used Ultrasonics or Infrasonics in any of their shows and/or séances?

I once generated a 10hz binaural beat for a theatre show. It was hidden in the soundtrack and foley fx. It did seem to add something to the dark atmosphere of the production. Not technically infrasound though.

Brynmore14, nice, what were some of the reactions from the audience?
On another note, it has been discovered that music by Skinny Puppy has be used in Guantanamo Bay torture sessions. If music and sound can be used as a weapon, then its use to produce a quick effect on sitter's should definitely be investigated (while not torturing them of course). http://america.aljazeera.com/opinions/20......ion.html

There have been a number of haunted houses that have tries this. I've experimented with a few sound techniques in the past and abandoned them because I was not willing to potentially damage the hearing of audience members by blasting sound outside our hearing range. I am very protective of my hearing and would be livid if I found out that some show was blasting me. I stick to creating drama theatrically.

AttnPls, I couldn't agree with you more. I prefer a more theatrical, subtle and psychological approach myself... Often times I find less IS more. It might be high time for me to retire the day I have to blast sonic waves at my participants in order enhance my performances, lol... However done right in a seance type setting, Infrasonics (LFS) may have an interesting outcome... Looking forward to what BrandonBecker has to offer us, still not sure exactly what he is proposing.

The audience were generally more creeped out than expected. It is hard to say conclusively whether the binaural beat was responsible, as the play was well done and the story disturbing, but the binaural beat was so easy to do, why not add it? Nothing to lose, everything to gain.

Placebo???

|||||||||
Brynmore14 Inner circle The Séance Chamber 1815 Posts |
Possible, but hard to prove without experimentation, and at the end of the day, it is a show not a scientific study.
I love placebo, it is real magic. Thought that causes physiological change, to me that is real magic right there. I feel the same way about epigenetics. |
|||||||||
Nyama Possessor Veteran user Under the Shade Tree 322 Posts |
True indeed, placebo is REAL magik... It's funny Brynmore, I was gonna bring up epigenetics a couple of posts before my last one, yet didn't wanna go too deep, lol. Great stuff! I recommend all bizarrists and mentalists study the works of Dr. Bruce H. Lipton, especially the following 2 books:
"The Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter, & Miracles" and "Spontaneous Evolution: Our Positive Future and a Way to Get There From Here"

I was making no assumptions about what others have or have not researched. I would be shocked if no one else here was familiar with infrasound. I'm involved in a pretty serious infrasound/seance discussion on another forum. I will say that one of the psychophysiological effects involved is infrasound, but that is not the only element at play.
So I'm thinking I'll make the box & manual a $200 package. Assuming that's cost-effecive for me and people would be cool with the delays associated with produce-on-demand. I'll get to that and let ya'll know when it's ready to order. |

Nyama Possessor Veteran user Under the Shade Tree 322 Posts |
Brandon, sounds good to me... You definitely got my interest and attention regarding what you have come up with and have to offer us. I'm thinking your obviously gonna post up a product description when the time is right as well? As I am looking forward to hearing more from you about what this "ghost box" is actually capable of.

Brandons posts make me think that he is just another guy with an immature understanding of the art form offering an undeveloped product for sale, probably priced at multiple times its actual worth. Time will tell.
|
|||||||||
Brynmore14 Inner circle The Séance Chamber 1815 Posts |
He has been refining it behind the scenes now with some long time members of tge forum. No product yet for sale, but rather a work in progress.
Check trickshop for his new mentalism pdf, less than a 5 spot. |

BrandonBeckerMentalist New user Pennsylvania, USA 32 Posts |
AttnPls: Hi. The product is not being offered as yet. I'm checking to see if there is sufficient interest in such a thing before I put the time/effort/money into refining it. Prototype testing within the month. Yes, time will tell.
Brynmore: Thanks for attending this while I was otherwise occupied. |
