Description of an effect a friend of mine showed me: you know the effect, but this is an incredibly clean method.
You show a bag and 5 balls (four white, one black), the bag with the 5 balls inside is handed to a spectator and this spectator lets five other spectators each pick one ball without looking and without showing anyone. All of this happens while the performer is facing the other way. You never come close to the bag, you don't have to ask any questions. Completely free choice (really). I won't go into presentation idea's, you know the drill, but without any delay the performer knows who has the black ball and is ready to reveal this in an entertaining fashion. No electronics, no stooges, no secret signals, no special bag, you don't have to use balls (could be stones, eggs, ...), no risk, foolproof, easy to make and to perform. A few people (including me) told him he should sell this method and not give it away. I told him I would mention this here to see what you people think about this. It really is as clean as described above. It uses a combination of know methods in a very effective and deceptive way.

I have a method that would work this way depending on what the final presentation is, but he should shop it around and see it's a new idea. If it is then put it to market.

Yes, Greg has at least two very low-tech versions for obtaining that.
And I have compiled a little .pdf years ago, with four or five low-tech methods for this effect. Your friend should send his idea to someone like Cassidy, Arce, Riggs... They will tell you if the thing is "new" or the nth reinvention of the wheel.

HI PAOLO
You talk about an ebook wrote years ago ...is it possible to "find" it at this time ? thanks PASCAL |

Pascal ...
Not a book... What I wrote was a small .pdf I compiled after translating in english some old ideas I had earlier about Kurotsuke and similar effects. And, as many of my things, it was not sold but FREELY given away to a number of people that asked for it back then... Not sure if I still have a copy on my hard drive... but I will look for it!
