Preorder price is only $175. Am wondering how easy the set up is and whether this is something that I can easily carry with me for those "impromptu" magic moments.

Gentleman. This is brilliant. The sort of brilliant idea and clever execution that makes you want to simply jump up and down with excitement.

Benny

Wow, thanks Ben! Here is another interesting comment:

"The Moment" sounds like it's going to be a real winner. My familiarity with the quality of your work assures me that the effect is exactly as described. The whole thing reminds me a lot of something Aleister Crowley used to do to demonstrate his influence over strangers. I can see how "The Moment" could easily be framed to make it look like you mentally forced someone to do something at a specific time.

The short answer is yes.

Christopher

After the viewing the promo video ... I'd like to see, well, a promo video showing at least one example of performing this.

In some respects, although there are obviously extreme differences, I'm reminded of Psyclock.

Like Bob, I'm familiar with IT's work, and am the happy owner of several items ... so I'm looking forward to learning more.

This is absolutely brilliant! Ever since witnessing the effect, I couldn't stop my mind from popping up with fresh ideas to utilize The Moment. Truly flexible and does wonders! Highly recommend it!

Thanks all!!!

I just got back to Canada after a 3 week stint in the UK over Christmas.

Christopher and I will be spending the next 4 or 5 weeks putting the finishing touches to "The Moment" so it is ready for Blackpool and for all pre-sales. The video you have seen so far is a teaser video and we do intend on shooting a few videos of different effects in action with "The Moment" so watch this space.

To see "The Moment" in action live is to understand it completely and trust me when I say to understand it is to want it!! The pre-sale price is on until the end of January (I believe) and if you are on the fence I suggest you may want to take advantage of it as this is something really special (I know, I know, bias little old me again). You will not be sorry with this one guys and girls. Very easy to do & capable of some truly remarkable effects and ground breaking mentalism. Mentalism has never felt this organic and you can carry it with you always so it's always ready to go.

Questions?

Only too happy to help!

I've pre-ordered this and am really excited by the whole 'organic' premise. I think I've sussed the method too, and unlike a lot of stuff ( not from T. I , I should add) , I wont be disappointed when it arrives. Will the pre-orders reach us at the same time they're available in Blackpool, Matt?

Hi Roblane,

Thank you for your pre-order and I know you won't be disappointed with this one! The method while possibly sussed from watching the video is completely invisible in performance and to see this performed live is one of those laugh out loud moments as the method is so very very sneaky and so very very clever, you will spend many hours just performing this for yourself and not believing what you see and hear....trust me!

I will have to speak to Christopher regarding the pre-orders reaching customers at the same time it appears at Blackpool as to be honest I am not 100% sure myself. I have emailed Christopher and will get back to you as soon as I hear. I just got back from the UK yesterday so am not up to speed on orders yet.

Cheers,

MJ

The PCBs are scheduled to arrive today and my little army of TI elves (i.e. both of them) and I will be feaverously building Moment units over the next couple of weeks. The goal is most certainly to have the pre-orders out BEFORE Matt and I leave for Blackpool, which looks perfectly doable at this time.

Christopher

Just watched the demo... Hmmm very interesting indeed. Start saving ready for Blackpool I think.

I've always wanted to replicate Derren Browns word association prediction where randomly spectators go round in a circle and end up with a random asssociated word which is prepredicted in the centre of the table. Could this effect be used to create this momment?

Michael: I will PM you. The Brown/Nyman routines, like the brilliant word association effect, are often comprised of far more goings on that what is seen in the video recording. That being said, it would be possible to create a SIMILAR routine using The Moment. An intriguing scenario, to say the least. As far as I know though, this premise is Brown's.

Christopher

Thanks for the responses guys! I didn't mean to imply that the method was visible to specs, Matt. I have the advantages of the demo and reading this thread. This is gonna be great!

Thanks for the pm Christopher I am sure ,owning solstice and real ghost that it should be a useful bit of kit!!

Ahhh to have the advantage of a demo ;o)

Watch this space as we have filmed a few more demos in studio to show you a number of possibilities with "The Moment". No frills, flashing lights or people running away screaming just honest to goodness demos of effects possible with "The Moment". The first should be ready in the next couple of days!

Cheers,

MJ

And it's a one person effect?

Sounds intriguing!

Piers

Piers: One person effect; no confederates, yes. Cheers.

Christopher

Hi Christopher, I sent you a PM.
The effects sounds awsome...

As Matt mentioned, we will be posting no-frill demo clips of The Moment in action on YouTube. Here is a link to the first, called Voodoo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jWkCD8Qzjo
