Okay... I admit it... Even though I'm still a fan of "Nothing", this thread is more entertaining than anything on the dvd. There, I said it! Satisfied?

One quick segue, a fellow magician suggested I do the Vanishing Bandana because he knew I was an actor and could probably make it a very funny bit (I wasn't nearly so confident). Anyway, comes time for me to do it in the show... and I realized I had forgotten the CD. I had thought it was in the player but it wasn't... So I pulled out my set list sheet and pretended it was the "written instrcutions" for the trick. I "read" through it, making the discoveries as I was reading... and it went over great! I told my friend about what happened and he liked the idea so much, he "read" the instructions when he performed it at his next gig.

Anyway, I know that's not apropos of "Nothing" but I thought I'd share it anyway as it's a good story.

Pull it out of the bag when I need it.

ouch is all I could say to the other place but I have never put it there

After having read through this thread, I was so confused whether I should buy Nothing or not. I had first purchased Videomind and loved the effects. I decided to buy Nothing and if worse came worse, I could always resell it if it was as "bad" as everyone said. I just finished watching and rewatching it for the past 8 hours and it was money well spent and I will probably not resell it. Besides seeing the effects done with very little amount of props and their explanations, I felt listening to Max talk in detail about each effect and his performance style was a plus.
I am pleased I went with my impulse and Max Maven has not let me down.

What a loooooong thread . . . certainly a controversial product

If I'm new to mentalism would this be a DVD for me?

No

Really? I thought that was the consensus, that these dvds are for beginners. What do I know. I still like the dvds and I don't consider myself a complete novice.

There is a detailed review of "Nothing" in this month's M-U-M.

And I thought this thread was over.....

I sure don't think that was a consensus.

You and me both, friend.

What's the overall feeling of the reviewer?

Do I get a prize for starting a really really ridiculously long thread.

The prize goes to the person who posts last.

Oh ok

James, you mareketting genius, you're always a step ahead!!!

Thanks.

I'll say "you're welcome" for Chris.

Anyone know if the die that MR Maven use in his bank night routine can be purshase somewhere? Maybe MJM? didn't find it.

As far as I know, you have to make it.
