To friends and fellows,
Recently I experienced a profound moment in magic with Las Vegas magician, Paul Vigil. Paul is an old friend and I was honored to see his new work, "Diplopia". EFFECT: A participant's deck is borrowed and shuffled. The spectator and magician/mentalist each think of a card. This is a completely free choice. The participant is asked to read the mentalist's mind, and to remove the card they believe he is thinking of. The mentalist does the same. With no questions asked, the performer finds the spectator's card, and they find his!!! This routine is an absolute stunner. I witnessed it firsthand and was blown away. I then watched Paul perform it later to fry a room filled with extremely knowledgeable magicians and mentalists . . . This is soooo good!!! The handling is clean and direct, and Paul has carefully explained every nuance and subtlety in his work. Furthermore, it is within the grasp of anyone interested. Having received the highest praises from Armando Lucero, Alain Nu, Luke Jermay, Bob Kohler, Aaron DeLong, Raj Madhok, Gazzo, Jeff McBride and Eugene Burger, Chris Kenner, Paul Harris and others . . . (the list goes on and on); this routine will prove extremely hard to beat. For a completely gaffless, impromptu mind reading MIRACLE with cards, "Diplopia" is tops. I cannot recommend it enough. It hurts for me to tip the source, but is the least I can do for my peeps here at the Café. For more information, contact Paul at http://www.paulvigil.com I believe this will be made available in a PDF and/or printed manuscript. You've been told . . . Jerome.

This sounds great...Jerome. Any word on if PV intends to release the DD you were so taken with?

DT3,
"Diplopia" ROCKS!!! The DD is not his, but is absolutely brilliant nonetheless. There is a thread for his new effect in the PDF section of the Café. Check it out! -J.

Just bought Diplopia, solely on the recommendation of Jerome and the first-class reputation of Paul.
I am elated. Card magic doesn't make me elated very often. I am elated. Ingenious. |

I just picked it up as well, also based on Jerome's excitement. I'm very excited about this one.
I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but the last page just printed off, so I'm off to my chambers! DT3 JF...isn't that nice how Diplopia has great reviews from people like Kenner, McBride, Weber and Harris, yet people are buying it because of YOUR recommendation? Does that mean you've hit the big time? :coolest: |

I am a close friend of Paul's. This was the first routine Paul ever performed for me. It is simple great. Direct and utterly fooling.
My comment on the effect really does not do justice to how much I love this. It is well worth whatever price is being asked for it and more. L. |

Wow. This is good good stuff. I wish he charged more for it.

This is very, very good!
I am familiar with the routine this was based on but the improvements Paul has made are excellent and well worth what he is asking for it. :) Aidan |

Just finished re-reading the manuscript (PDF file, actually), and after some deep thinking, I have this to say: This is the best card effect I know (and my background is in cards). I think I'll now sell off a lot of my old card books. I won't be needing them now. "Diplopia" is my new "go to" effect.
Cheers, Jason |

Thanks for the heads up. I usually part away from the normal card tricks. The "Oh look your card is on top" tricks! This sounds like it takes the cake.

This is no card trick. But it's crap. Don't buy it...it's mine...all mine!

Hmmm...Can this be used with Tarot Cards too then...?
(I'm gonna get it anyway if I can - but just wondering while I wait).

Hey Guys,
I wanted to chime in here.. Diplopia is what real magic would look like if someone actually had the power. It can't be labeled as a mind reading effect, although they will feel that way. It isn't a find the selected card effect, even though that will happen by both spectator and magician... it's a holy crap effect! One that can't be explained, especially since you borrow their deck. You walk in with nothing and come out with people chanting your name. This has been my go to effect for a long time to fool the pants off magi and laypeople alike. You gotta do this effect! Diplopia is so worth your investment. I believe you can get it from Paul by sending $15 to his paypal address of PaulVigil@hotmail.com. Cheers and Happy Magicking (if that's a word), Aaron DeLong

No, Mrs. C. is my choice on the D-list, the R-list would have been Mr. McC. (but it does not look like he will be there.
Although I tend to avoid most card effects, this does sound interesting. Tony |
