HI
Did you see this new principle of "paranormal and spooky" magic It looks very good... The description sounds veeeery good Does anyone will preorder ? What do you think about this ? Description of the effect: The performer invites a freely chosen volunteer (no stooges are used), and begins to tell a story about the ghost of a gambler named Vincent Cooper, who used to bring his lucky charm with him to the card games. The performer introduces an old VOODOO doll, and tells the audience he believes that Vincent’s ghost is still connected to the doll. The performer introduces a folding chair that resembles those used with classic card tables. The performer talks about how Vincent was very cautious of who he played poker with. He also wanted to make sure that whoever he was playing with was not a cheat. He would look under the chair to make sure that no cards were hidden under there by other players (the bottom of the chair is shown empty). The performer now unfolds the chair and instructs the volunteer to have a seat. The performer tells the volunteer that they will now take part in an intimate paranormal experiment. The volunteer is then blindfolded so that they will become more in tune with their other senses. The performer tells the spectator that they will not feel any pain and that he will not be piercing the doll with any kind of sharp object, however unbeknown to the blindfolded volunteer, the performer pulls out a sharp looking needle from his pocket and goes to pierce the doll, but then changes his mind and puts the needle away, gaining a huge laugh from the rest of the audience. As the performer continues to tell the story, he explains that Vincent would sometimes take a handkerchief and wipe the face of the players to make sure they were not wearing make up or wearing any kind of disguise and they were really who they said they were. The performer now introduces an old handkerchief that used to belong to Vincent Cooper and gently wipes the face of the VOODOO Doll while standing far away from the spectator sitting in the chair. The volunteer is asked if they feel anything touching their face, and they will answer “YES”. Next he explains that Vincent cooper would check the hands or wrists of the other card players to make sure they didn't have any extra ACES up their sleeves. The performer asks the volunteer to pull up their sleeves and the performer runs his fingers up and down the arm of the VOODOO doll, and asks the spectator if they feel anything touching their arms/wrists, and they will say "YES." Then the performer explains that the late Vincent Cooper would walk behind and around each player at the table to make sure they did not have anything else hidden on them, and he asks the volunteer to let them know when and if they feel like someone walks by them. The performer sits the VOODOO doll down on the table and walks by the doll, the volunteer, will now say they just felt someone walk by them (but eerily no one ever did). Finally he says that when Vincent Cooper was ready to play and felt comfortable with all the other players, he would pick his seat at the table, and if someone was already sitting in it, he would tap them on the shoulder 3 times and that was their cue to stand up and move to another chair. The performer explains to the volunteer that if they are tapped 3 times on their shoulder then they should count to 3 and then stand up. The performer taps the to VOODOO doll 3 times on the shoulder, and waits, 3 seconds pass by and the volunteer stands up. The blindfold is removed and the volunteer and performer can now take a bow concluding an unbelievable paranormal experience. Was it VOODOO, a ghost, or simply magic? About VOODOO Touch: VOODOO Touch will not hurt or make your volunteer feel uncomfortable in any way. No electrical shocks or similar effects are ever used. The bottom of the chair is shown empty and free of any kind of gimmickry. VOODOO touch uses a special electronic chair that is completely safe, and is fully programmable to your specific needs. The remote that activates the chair’s electronic effects is conveniently hidden inside the VOODOO doll itself, giving you control at your fingertips in plain sight. VOODOO Touch is self contained and folds flat for travel inside its very own custom made travel bag. Your volunteer will actually feel the sensations that are described and performed on the doll, without the performer ever having to touch them or be close to them. The special chair is padded for complete comfort. VOODOO Touch comes with special folding chair, custom made VOODOO doll, blindfold, handkerchief, instructions, and custom travel bag. |

Hey Guys, I only built a run of 12 units. All of which have now been sold. I didn't do a video for several reasons: Videos are expensive to produce, and I was only building 12 to start, and a video wouldn't actually show anything except for the audience volunteer answering some questions and then standing up. It is impossible to be able to film a "Touch Sensation". Also the chair I orignally used along with the doll, and the blindfold were different in style and looks than the finished models, and I didn't want to show the product using a different kind of chair/doll etc. I am confident that one or more of my customers will film this in their LIVE show and send it to us, as a lot of customers do with our products.
We willl be doing another run of Chairs later this month, and will start to take orders for this run shortly. Thanks for all of the support. Best, Peter.

I want one so bad but $950 is sooo out of my price range. I hate really wanting to give my audience the best in magic but not always being able to afford it. |

LOL, that's funny Patrick.
While still a high end priced illusion, please know that my mark up is very minimal on this item. Lately we have made sure to price our products geared for the recession in mind, offering them at the lowest possible price point. Just a note, we only require a 50% deposit, and then the rest is payable when its ready to ship. Or you can always reserve one of the chairs through our layaway plan also. The first run of 12 have been sold out and all have now been shipped. I am now officially taking orders for the second run of 12, which we started over late last week, and I beleive we have only about 8 left available from this run so far. Best, Peter

I agree it`s a decent price for a great item,I just don`t have much cash at this point. I`m guessing the shipping will be hefty as well since it`s a chair.

I completely understand. As for shipping the chair isn't as bad as one may think. Its only about $40 for doemestic, and anywhere from about $60-$100 for USA orders and overseas/international have been around $125-$200 depending on specific location. The chair packs up flat, is light weight, so shipping isn't that bad and the chair will even fit on the front seat of most cars for travelling from show to show.
