I am interested in purchasing Cassidy's ebook Puzzled (yes, I am aware of the problems when purchasing from Bob Cassidy).
My question to those that own it. Can this be done in a close-up or intimate setting? If so, any concerns or drawbacks in performing Puzzled in this type of venue? Thanks in advance to all who respond. Jaymon59 |

Although not specifically designed for close-up, it can be done close-up. I've done it in a living room setting with great results. Once you get it, drop me a note and I'll share the modifications I've made to the routine.

I just received "Puzzled" from Mr. Cassidy this past week and, I must say, EVERYTHING I read about it in it's blurb was TRUE (would that this was the case regarding every effect I've bought!). An absolutely original, brilliant and easily-performed effect that's far superior -- and far more baffling -- than the other jigsaw puzzle-type effects I've seen, in my opinion!

The Cassidy version of Puzzle can be done with any puzzle, but it makes the most sense to do it as he laid it out with the puzzle he suggested.
I asked the boy beneath the pines.

Please.....Where's the link to this? I've found a certain book of Egyptian puzzles that might work for this, if my reading between the lines is correct.

Well, I too ordered "Puzzled" and received it immediately. Unfortunately, nearly a month and a half later, I still haven't received the blindfold I ordered and Bob won't respond to my emails now...

I ordered Puzzled late on Saturday night and the download link was waiting for me first thing Sunday. I never have any problem with Bob's downloads.
Later that day I ordered the map from http://www.unclesgames.com because the link from Amazon (supplied by Bob Cassidy) showed it was not available. Although I live in New Zealand I can easily justify using a map of the US, but will look out for other jigsaws that can be adapted. Puzzled is great and I can't wait to perform it. |

I am rather amazed at Mr. Cassidy. He's such a terrific mentalist, but he seems to have pitiful ethics in running his mail order business. I ordered Heathen Devices and received the download promptly, but have yet to receive the gimmick. There are other things I'd like to purchase, but I refuse until he fulfills on his obligation. There's just no excuse for this. Years ago I was in the mail order business. If you can't make good on your promises don't take people's money. At the very least, communicate honestly with your customers. People are pretty compassionate and will give you quite a bit of slack. But, you've got to talk to them. It doesn't seem possible to reach him at all. I feel sorry for him. Such a sad reputation for a man with so much ability.

Ordered my copied and received in 24 hrs. Was worth the money. Does anyone have any ideas regarding finding other types of jigsaws to use ?

I have started to experiment with a very different puzzle and if you choose the right one it can work. I would prefer to explain only in PM's if you wish to contact me.

Has anyone seen or used a jigsaw puzzle of the UK for this effect ?

How about the Val Andrews book test? Good? Certainly inexpensive, if it is as described.

Thanks for the link Chicane. Even with this, it still took me a good twenty minutes to track down this particular puzzle on the site, which doesn't necessarily say much about my searching skills. Having finally found it, I just wanted to provide everyone with the direct link to this puzzle.
