The fact is both versions are very good!! The UK version has something the US version does not, and the US version has something the UK version does not.
So they are equal in their ability to totally freak someone out. Rick |

There is now a link to a photo of the Homicide U.S. book on the Outlaw site.
It is an "aged" work of art. I should post a "before" picture! Thanks Rick P.S. They are shipping and in stock. They will be hitting mail boxes ALL week long. |

Got mine today -- I have to say, I made a big mistake in ordering this. The mistake was, I didn't order it when I got my outlaw wallet, kioku, and sanctum effects!! I can't believe I opted to wait an extra few weeks. It's clever, it's looks incredible (and authentic!), the service from Rick has been outstanding... I will never repeat my mistake with The Outlaws again - put me down for a pre-order on ANYTHING else that comes out, Rick. I can't wait to experiment with a few presentation ideas.

I received a package from Outlaw today, opened it up and found an old book enclosed. The book was from the 1950's and was evidently stored in some damp basement for quite some time. The book, although intact really shows its age, the cover is distressed and discolored with stains of dust and mold. The metal spring binding the book on the top even has a bit of rust, and the pages, like the binding and cover bear witness to their authenticity. The book contains about 75 pages of victims of crimes most foul that took place in New York city just prior to its publication in 1953. This is a Homicide Case Book, a book carried by detectives and listing unsolved murders. There are over 500 names and crimes listed in the book, New York has always been a busy town.
The book was left on my desk when I went to a meeting, and when I came back, a coworker asked me what it was. I explained, she looked at the book and put it down. "Why would you want such a thing?" she asked, but already guessing the answer, she said, "Never mind." It is well known that I collect strange and unusual things, today I also received a copy of "HOW TO MAKE A GOOD LIVING AS A PSYCHIC." She had seen that book as well. Next came the obvious question, "Do you really believe in that crap?" I told her that not only do I believe in it, I live it. I receive impressions and visions when I come in contact with people and objects, sometimes whole stories appear in my had, much like a movie, but sometimes without sound. I offered to demonstrate and handed her the Murder Book. I asked her to flip through the pages and look at any entry she felt like. Then read the information on that persons case. She did that. "There are over 500 cases in that book" I explained, "covering New York City and the surrounding area." "Do you know the area that the crime took place? She said yes. I then explained to her that the victim was a young woman who had moved to New York from South Carolina. She wanted to be an actress, and had unfortunately connected with the wrong man. He had set up an audition for her. They had gone out to what we call a gentleman's club. This was not what she wanted to go, she began to scream. A few men came out for the back room and took her out of the club. There was a gunshot, and then all went blank. My coworker dropped the book on my desk, her eyes staring at me in disbelief. I saw her twice later that day, but she has kept her distance. This is Outlaw's new offering in action. It looks so authentic, really hard to believe that Rick just made these. They are a work of art. The methodology is so clever and simple. It follows the same ingenious rules and principles he established with his UK book, so even though I had just received the book in the mail, I was able to perform it. And the effect I did is just a small sampling of what can be done with this book. In truth, I like this one better than the UK book, and going by my review of the UK Homicide Book, you know I loved it. Rick has taken this to a level I have not seen. The aging is artwork, the method, simple and very clever, the effects, as powerful as you want to make them. He has taken the few little wrinkles he found in the first version of the UK book, and ironed them out creating a masterpiece. Performing with this book is like playing a Stradivarius. It is making art with art. Tony Iacoviello |

Tony, you say you like the US version better than the UK version... is that because the crimes lend themselves to "better stories", or because you can relate to the locales better?
As a Homicide UK owner from the UK, I can see how the US version might have slightly more curiosity value for me. Thanks, Mark |

Mark:
New York is a place that my audience can relate to more easily than London. I do like both books. But the reason I like my US book better than the UK is the appearence and destressing that went into it. As you may know, I received one of the first UK books manufactured. Each of these books was hand aged by Rick. He learned nore and refined his technique as he went along. So my US book has the experience gained from hundreds of other books that went through the process. With products looking this good, I can only wonder what will come out of Outlaw next. Tony |

I to like the UK book.
In fact I have been playing with it a bit and have been adding to it. I am very pleased to hear of the new US book. We have a month of shows public shows planned in Atlanta and I plan on incorporating this into my promotional work. The real stuff I do is just not well suited to playing about with interviewers and reporters. This however fits perfectly with the macabre tone of the October festivities I think. Like Tony, I have had a few friends look at the book and think it is real. In fact one of my business partners Timmy O'Brien, http://www.whateverunique.com and my wife Christine, both just assumed it was real and looked through it and never suspected it was a prop. They thought it was more strange stuff someone sent me or that I bought from an estate. Really good work. Thanks Rick for doing things right. Best Wishes, Jim H. O. A X

Just received the US version. Very Nice... I can't seem to find instructions on how to get into the forums. I assume I have to register and then respond with the password that was included in my package?????
