They don't need to search for nomad pad revealed; just "magic trick pad" and it pops up nicely on the first page for them.

The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words.

IMO if the pad (whichever one you use -- Psypher, Nomad, Tommy, ParaPad, one of Riggs' or any of the others) looks like one you see at Staples, office Max/Depot, the school supplies section of the drug store or supermarket, is handled like any normal pad and one's presentation does not draw undue attention to the pad it is unlikely to be suspect or prompt the observer to google in search of the secret.

I agree with you Dick, never had a problem with any spectator when using the butterfly; this does sound interesting though and I do like Marks thinking. Be interesting to see others veiws on it too.

A routine utilizing an imp pad shouldn't be about the pad. It's that simple!
If I use a business card, an index card or any everyday object, the routine is usually not about this object. This object is irrelevant as far as my audience is aware. It's the performer who feels 'guilty' who raises suspicion - not the pad. (This is my experience from literally hundreds of utilizations of a 'suspicion arousing' imp device, ... ) Cheers Th. |

I think people do suspect imp pads a lot of the time. The two videos of Keith Barry performing below show such cases.

I think one of the main things when considering an impression device is, what is the clarity?
For those who have seen The Master Spy, was it clear? |

That's actually not that rare. Ive had quite a few people like that over the years and some far far worse.

I've found that having what appears to be a handle of gun protruding from a holster, just visible to the participant, tends to keep him in line.
My cane has such a handle. Tony |

The email I received from Mark says that Master Spy is a board measuring 150mm x 220mm. So it appears that Master Spy is not a pocket sized notepad. The method is also completely different from imp pads like Nomad, Psypher, etc. |

Is it for sale, how to buy it and how much?? Did I miss that info amongst the chatter, or does no one know?

Thomas,
I WOULD object to that email being posted here, so your presumption is wrong. It is very bad manners, at the least, to repost anyone's emails on an open forum you know... It's not that I'm trying to be preciously secretive about the Master Spy, it's simply that it is a very limited release, and as such is available solely to subscribers to my newsletter. That said, I'm happy for anyone to sign up for my newsletter! So if you're interested in the Master Spy, just drop me an email, I'll add you to my list and send you the most recent newsletter which contains all the info you need. For that reason, I won't be participating in this thread any further. I'll be pleased to answer any and all question via email though... Cheers, ME

This looks awesome! Thanks for the info Mark. Saving more "pennies" - not for thoughts but to buy one of these cool devices later this Summer.
