An amazing photo that may be of interest to the new cadre of cloudbusters.

Yesterday I stopped the rain two times. but i´m just not confident enough to tell people that I do such things. the first time she asked me if I did that and I said:"yes".
the second time... I stood in the hard rain and raised my arms...a few seconds later the rain stopped. I just looked at her and smiled, but I didn´t say anything.
anyway...awesome book.

thanks devin and jerome

I say it once again --this book is a must have if you wanna bust clouds and control weather

Okay, I give up . . . where is my credit card.

Hi All,

I received my copy last week (Jerome, thanks again for your "above-and-beyond" effort in getting it to me). I've read it (and making my way through it a second time), but have not yet performed for anyone (and won't until I "learn" more; those of you who have this will know what I mean). There's nothing more I can add to the kudos already bestowed upon Devin and Jerome, but I'll say this anyway... impressively splendid!

Regards, Steve

I can't believe this! I read the book (skeptically at first, but then the genius of it dawned on me), and then I practiced for a week straight. I'm embarrased to say that the first day I couldn't bust a single cloud! But I persisted, and on the second day of trying I busted one of those wispy high-flying clouds, and then I started doing larger clouds with greater consistency, even busted a dark rain cloud and managed to have it rain. So I finally get the hang of this, and I show it to my Mom, who has always been my toughest critic (I've been showing her tricks since I was 8 years old), and guess what? She figures it out right away, and not only that, but she points to a group of clouds, and I'm talking big full heavy clouds, and she makes them all bust! I can't relate to you how embarrased this has made me. For the past couple of days she's been doing this for EVERYONE, and now no one asks me to do magic anymore, they just go to my Mom and ask her to bust some clouds. Please, somebody suggest something I can do that will overshadow what my Mom is doing! Maybe that advanced effect on causing a solar eclipse (the one on page 114) would shift the attention back from my mother to me, but I really don't understand the technique.

I had great weather for cloud busing while practising, now I want to perform the weather has turned bad


Todsky try producing shooting stars - You can find it in the garden of the strange by caleb strange


This book has some great cloud busting related kinda things vanishing/moving the moon, vanishing stars - good additions to a cloud busters repotoire I think.

Ordered a copy today... I couldn't resist!

I've done "Tree Waving" in the past (I command the tips and leaves of various trees to move "using" hand motions) and it always gets great responses. Has anyone seen or done this?

I assume the techniques in this book will make that particular illusion even more powerful!

Yes! And some follow-up also.

No!
And I would love to get some track for this!
Any info?
^^

Great book by the way, instant classic...

Best,

Well, I assume that "Tree Waving" relies on the same principles as "Cloud Busting"...

Tree waving sounds very interesting...I'll have to do some thinking


Thinking about it 'a twisted palm' by Luke Jermay using a leaf (like in building blocks) might be a good thing to follow it with

Okay, everything's fine again, my Mom got a little carried away and started doing some cloud-darkening and got hit by a lightning bolt, nothing serious but she was shaken up and said she's going to leave the magic to me from now on.

I take it was you that sumound (sp?) the lightning

Good Lord this rocks! I love it, so simple yet SO effective, I will be using this a lot.

I am reading more of this, and all I can say is "brilliant"

This is extremely exciting!!! I cannot wat to try this out!

I'm not sure if it was me or her that summoned the lightning, although I think it may have been my subconscious wish that made it happen.

Tough love?

Can you make a tree "leave".....or a willow weep?.. ..

This isn't a real book, is it? Seriously now...
