Had a brief pm-chat with Rick about possible presentations - there are some truly dark things you could do with this!
Someone once asked if this was similar to the BIP book - they can't be further apart! Looking forward to scaring the willies out of someone with this... |

I've found some grisly photos that could be used as "evidence"/ predictions for the crimes...!

I was able to get a sneak-peek at the first "Homicide" book. It looks completely authentic for the period from which it supposedly comes. The book has a black wire, spiral-binding at the top, and the pages have been appropriately aged, as has the cover. It in no way looks "proppy"; it looks like the real deal... and IMHO, if presented properly, will be an extremely powerful piece of mentalism, limited only by the performer's imagination.

I just want to let people know that Homicide was designed as a straight forward mentalism effect.
I don't want to scare anyone off because some of the posts above are describing bringing in "evidence", sceances, photographs, etc. You can use the book to set up an elaborate presentation, and those ideas are great. But the basic book test itself is very easy to do and does not require any props other than the book. I also include a complete presentation that allows you to do the effect right out of the box. And..... the Homicide forum will have plenty of alternative presentations by some of my more disturbed buyers above. Rick |

Rick,
That's what is so great about effects like this... You can go nearly any direction you want to! I can't wait to see what pops up on your forum regarding homicide. I have gotten some great ideas off the site for Outlaw, Kioku and Sanctum.... Homicide is next!!!! Thanks Rick for keeping it affordable like the rest of your products. Best to all! Bobby |

I am curious as to how many different people you can talk about? It is impossible to do all 500, unless all are the same case just a different name. I am also curious as to whether you always get your first question wrong everytime

Actually, I plan to use the book as is for some impromptu work - and then use it for a more elaborate bizarrist setup. The thing reminds me of the "Dark Memory" effect and I can see combining the two into a powerful punch in the gut!

Your statement can be correct (50/50 chance) or your statement "appears" to be wrong but is then proven to actually be correct. Since 70% of the victims are women, and people will tend to pick "an innocent victim" When I make that first statement I'm assuming they have picked a female victim. If I'm right, I will say something in that statement that will appear to the spec that I have just read their mind. If I'm wrong, it does'nt matter because the fact is I will make another statement about the victim that will prove I was right. It probably does'nt make much sence what I just wrote. You'll have to buy the book to understand it. As far as victims in the book? Hundreds of different victims. Rick |

I just got word that my copy is in the mail (It pays to be the first to order. )
Expect a review by the end of the week. Currently, I use my own Bullseye Book test, I've used, or tested most of the book tests on the market, they have been part of my standup act since 1974. It will be based on practicality, originality, ease of use, and effect on spectators. Methodology will be considered heavily, but not identified in my review. I'll comment on the marketing ad and how the product actually matches up against it as well. So this will be a hard review. This may not be for the squeemish, so Rick, you've been warned. Tony |

Cover looks very good. I'm not sure there is such a role in the UK as 'Chief Detective Inspector'. It's usually a DIC - Detective Chief Inspector - at least that's the current title, but perhaps yours is in keeping with the earlier period of the notebook. I'm sure someone out there will clarify.
