I thought that you might be interested to know that the dealer who holds the exclusive license to sell my Natural Lottery effect complete with all the necessary props has another new free bonus update for all previous and future purchasers. Previous purchasers should contact the dealer in question to receive the latest free update.

Here's an updated link to the product: http://tvmagic.co.uk/catalog/product_inf......s_id=111

Hi Anthony - just a quick question.. How is your natural lottery different to the one in some tricks?

Thanks for your help,

WNail

Hi Withnail,

The Natural Lottery New Edition comes complete with bonus ideas by Bill Herz, Michael Weber and myself which enable you to show the printed ticket to the audience and hand it to a genuine spectator as a souvenir.

Best,

Anthony

Has anyone bought the new version or received the update for "Natural Lottery"? Is it the same effect as in Nate's video?

Hi Anthony. I am interested in buying your version. I just wanted to be clear on one thing. Is the ticket you can give out to the spectator the one that you fill in or the printed receipt that you get when you have bought your ticket.
This is a printed lotto ticket like in the video someone posted of Nate (second post)?
Will this work in the UK with the national lotto?

Hi gh256,

Thanks for your interest in my work.

The ticket which you hand out is the printed receipt you receive when you have bought your ticket.

It will work in the UK and any other country which provides a printed receipt.

Please note that this is not the method used by Nate Staniforth or David Blaine, although I understand that my version did inspire theirs.

Thank you kindly for your prompt and informative post I hope to be able to purchase soon.

Glenn

THanks Anthony

You're welcome!

Sorry, I realise that I forgot to mention the actual details of this latest free bonus update. It's a new method of mine which enables you to hand out the printed lottery ticket as a souvenir at the end of my effect.

It is NOT suitable for close-up situations. However, for experienced professional performers working in cabaret, stand-up, platform and stage situations it is a completely self contained method which is simple and practical. It requires no additional secret assistance and I believe it makes my original effect much stronger. I'm very proud of it.

Already bought mine. I have waited for this for years.

I notice that Anthony Owen has finally released SECRETS, his big hard bound collection of 'greatest hits'. This includes 45 items, which include previously unpublished items and many new ideas on his classic material.

This includes all the work and some new material relating to his long unavailable Natural Lottery routine referenced in this thread.

FROM THE FOREWORD BY ANDY NYMAN:
“Like any great collection, the material here is for all situations and abilities. I have no doubt it will become a modern classic. I believe he will be acknowledged alongside his mentors, Pat [Page] & Ali [Bongo], as one of the greatest minds ever to have graced British magic.” Andy Nyman

“Anthony’s book is genius. Thank you for sharing. I’m honoured by the reference in the Natural Lottery section. Such a brilliant piece of magic.” Nate Staniforth

The rave reviews for Owen's new big book SECRETS keep coming from experienced, successful, knowledgeable magicians and mentalists.

Here's one from IMPOSSIBLE and KILLER MAGIC star Ben Hart: “I can’t recommend Anthony Owen’s beautifully produced book 'Secrets' highly enough. Yes, it is full of original and totally baffling tricks but it is also full of great wisdom and advice from a man who knows more about how to make magic appeal to a contemporary audience than anyone else I’ve encountered.”
