Ted personally showed me how to do a great PK Touch effect with the book (this was not part of the lecture). This offers still another great possibility. I know it's only February, but this is going to be one of the top mentalism tools of the year...until his long awaited and anticipated book hits the community. If that still happens this year he may have the #1 and #2 releases of the year. And yes, I'd be first in line (behind Tony R.) to attend that lecture too!

Decomposed, I do have it and in all honestly, it's better than you could hope for. I have the same feeling carrying around this book as I do my pilot case I use for my shows; powerful and armed.

I agree that there are an astonishing number of things you can do with MOAB 2.0, but I don't think it makes sense to use it for more than 1 or 2 things in the same show. You could see at the Tannen's lecture that one could start to think you could do a whole act with MOAB, but that would be unwise.

I can see the ads now "The Swiss Army Knife of Book Tests!"....."Packs light, plays excessive"
Suffice it to say, this is not intended to be a full act in a bag (or book). |

Excellent point, Bill.
To do more than two effects will put heat on the book which is what you don't want. As a matter of fact, on the very first page of the directions, Ted gives a very serious warning against that. Also, keep in mind that you don't have to do the basic LWP routine. You have so many to choose from and the LEP routine is only ONE of the very strong routines in the MOAB 2.0.
Best regards,

Thanks Tony. I would only want it for an option to the LWP (have enough for that already). I heard one performer already used it at the Castle with a non-LWP that went over well.
For stage having it as an option to other MOABTs or BTs would be delight. The AD says can be used for strolling but I would think that would not work as well as some of the other options available. I know seeing it is a bonus also, not knowing what it looks like before purchase is a bummer but I understand the secrecy.

Its physical size is about the same as the paperback version of the original MOAB (i.e., 5.5" x 8.5" x 0.64", 296 pages) with an attractive cover, title, author, text in 13 pt. font, legit ISBN and barcode label, etc. Looks like a legit paperback novel -- exactly what it is supposed to look like. I know you like books you can carry in your pocket -- it's a bit big for that. Several reviews have now been posted and they are overwhelmingly positive.

One question, is the title of the book the same as the original MOABT?

The Title is different.
At Ted's lecture he demonstrated several of the effects contained in the MOAB 2. The book test is amazing...and in my opinion some of the ploys he taught to obtain the necessary info for the traditional "test" (the revelation of a thought of word) were fantastic, and well worth the price of the lecture. The amount of work Ted has put into this book is staggering! Get it while you can! |

Dick, you have done a great disservice to Ted, to mentalism and to users of the effect.
Yes, you have now removed the Title and Author from your post, but tell that to Google. It remembers what you posted first and hence this thread comes up. You have obviously googled it and know this to be true. To simply say "First, the title and author have been removed from my post and this thread." is simply disingenious. An apology or active action to get the entire thread removed might show you in better light. Second, I can assure you that people will google the title/author. It will be seen on YouTube clips within days, on trade show stands and carried around restaraunts by narrow minded hacks. Sure, Ted and his team have made great steps to diminish the prominence of the title, many will take the steps to change the cover and of course good performers routine the effect so it's not about the book, but it will happen. And actually Dick, for your information, I hardly ever perform for friends & family and seldom for magicians or mentalists. Lot of my close friends have never seen me perform anything. Performing is my career and it has been for many years. It saddened me to see what you posted and then again your response when called on it. |

Googling the title only brings up several pages of links to sites that have nothing to do with MOAB 2.0. Since the title and author have been deleted from my post and this thread I believe that the likelihood that anyone who does not actually have the book will know both its title or the name of the author will have the ability to google it successfully. Of course, I admit that anyone in the audience when the book is used in performance and bothers to make a note of BOTH the title and author and then google it either during the performance or when they get home can find the thread on the Café; however, I submit that such a situation is so unlikely as to be negligible unless one is performing for magicians, mentalists or friends and family (and nothing in my last post suggested that you were in that category). Even if that situation should occur the only damage done would be that the suspicion that it is a "special" book would be confirmed -- and anyone who would google it would already have assumed as much. Like you, I am a full time performer and in over 40 years of performing for every imaginable audience I've yet to find anyone googling anything during my shows and seriously doubt that any audience member has bothered to do so after they got home. With the exception of magicians, mentalists, friends, family (and probably teens) normal people are just not that fixated on ferreting out our secrets. In retrospect I agree that I should not have mentioned the title and author in my post; however, I really believe that you have greatly exaggerated the potential harm done.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dick Christian at the Alain Nu lecture last year. He's about as nice a gentleman as you would find anywhere. He's not only a walking encyclopedia of book tests but is extremely generous with his knowledge. Just read some of his 2000 plus posts and you'll find he's one of the most helpful members on this forum. My point is that even though he might have inadvertently done something wrong he deserves our utmost respect. He has been an invaluable resource here at the Café and we are lucky to have him. So please, if he makes a mistake once in 1000 posts it only means he's human. The only people who don't make mistakes are those who don't do anything. And that's certainly not Dick Christian. If you don't agree with his reviews criticize the review. Don't criticize the man.
Sorry, but I just had to get that off my chest. Steve |
