David,
Is it necessary to tattoo the instructions to the trick on your own body? I forget things sometimes. Jeff |

MEMENTO has been received this week by people around the world. I've been sent many nice emails, which I do not quote because it sort of goes against the idea of sending someone personal mail, however I did ask permission to post a portion of one note, as I like hearing about people's performances:
I know I will get a lot of mileage out of this. Just for sh**s and grins I did the card to pocket last night while out to dinner with another couple. I almost flipped out myself at how smooth and quick I was able to do it, and to keep in true spirit of your video I looked at Scott and said we are not married. Our wives just about lost it. |

Yep that was me,, I have to say guys Memento is great! a true worker, I have not been let down at all with this effect.
My friend Scott is very happy that we don't have to get married but is kicking himself trying to figure out how I did that. LOVE IT!! Thanks David!! -- Floyd

It had several cuts (edits), and one right when heat is in the Crystal case... Now, We all know that the editing didn't cover ANYTHING, as the "moves" were already done... But I guess being in Video production, it just bugged me to see it called that and having the edits... and yes, I am being a "stickler", so be it... Again, great looking effect, and I have bought and loved several David Regal effects. I am sure this is no diffrent in top-notch quality and excellent teaching style. Whomever buys this will NOT be dissapointed I am sure! Mike |

Mike -
You're right - It should say "complete performance" at the top rater than "uncut." I asked Wayne to make me a demo that didn't cut from venue to venue (from Dean's Shoppe to The Magic Castle, as the promo does), so what you see is not without edits, just a straight-through performance. The timing is the actual timing - nothing was compressed. Yes, the audience CAN and SHOULD keep their eyes on the block as it comes out of the case. If they're not, then the room must be on fire. |

David -
On the DVD it would have been cool on the teaching portion to show the camera behind you as you make your little move. The move does not appear to be difficult at all, but always nice to see the moves from the magicians perspective. If you ever offer a password protected version with that insight I would love to see it.

I'm happy to help with any questions you have - just PM me. And I'll take your advice to heart with other DVD instructions I do. There's no actual "move" insofar as nothing moves but the gimmick. The moment you are referring to is actually a moment of relaxation, so you should think of it that way - it's the best advice I can give you. Think of it as the opposite of a move, just relax and do nothing for that beat and let the gimmick take over. You may feel guilty! Trust me, there's no need to worry or rush at all.

Yep, everything is done on the off beat of the spec doing something, so slick so quick and you don't have to rush a thing.

Ok... This is da mn cool! To be honest I was skeptical... But wow! This is about the neatest thing David has released in a while! It resets very quickly... Don't be a magician for once and worry about handing it out... Do NOT do it as a card to wallet effect. That just screams "let ME see it" to a spectator! But as a prediction... You are gonna be hard pressed to top this lil doll.
Oh yes... There some other VERY sneaky things that this lends itself to... But I am not gonna tell... that's my story... and I am sticking to it! Tony

Tease all you want...
I also love this David Regal effect. My 11 year old daughter (and kid magician) loved it. Now I have to get the patter down as David's presentation makes this even better.

In the next week or two I'll get a homemade video of my "tabled selection" version of MEMENTO onto YouTube (I need my son to come over and help). It's very simple, but I do have one touch that may be of interest.
As I said earlier, I do not table the selection when I do the trick, as the method is so clean that spectators do not walk the path toward a solution - it simply appears that I predicted their free selection by displaying a duplicate card within MEMENTO. |

Big shout out to David for releasing this great effect to the community. Not quite the method I was expecting...so much better. Can I just say that the load is as quick as a rattlesnake bite.
I had the pleasure of performing with 3 other great magicians last night for the Greenlawn Abbey Preservation Association which is working to preserve the Greenlawn Abbey Mausoleum where Howard Thurston is laid to rest. (Got a great pic next to Thurston's tomb). Dr. Tim Moore who is an avid magic collector brought some genuine Thurston pieces to display at the event. Of course I took advantage of this by introducing a rare artifact....namely Howard Thurston's favorite card that he had autographed and was in Dr. Tim's collection encased in acrylic to preserve it. Amazing what you can do with David Regal's Memento and a Bicycle Vintage Deck of Cards. Thanks David. Had a lot of fun with this effect. You are to be commended. |

I purchased memento and I've performed it a couple times now and have gotten great reactions to it. However, I don't think I would ever perform this as a card to wallet type of effect. With the specs. signature on the card I would think they would very much want to look at the block. I may be wrong about that but it just seems to follow that a spec would want to examine it if it has "their" signed card in it.
As a prediction effect, it leaves them scratching their heads for sure and no one has wanted to grab the block... I set it on the table for moment and then move on to whatever is next. Best, Bk |
