Congratulations Paul and Colin. I'm sure it will be excellent. I look forward to glowing reviews.
Not connected with the book: It suprises me how certain people on this forum are automatically down on effects which use DR, P**-S*** or I****** S****es. You don't like DR because you worry it will expose the method when spectators talk amongst each other? You don't like P**-S*** or I****** S****es because you think that's cheating somehow? Well you must have very one-dimensional shows which look a lot like magic, but then again, I suppose if you only ever perform for your school-friends, teachers and parents or your mates down the pub and don't actually have a s***, that doesn't really matter to you. Reg p.s. Thanks to Paul for reviewing my latest $10 offering in your newsletter. |

No matter what the product, being human, I think a lot of us instinctively want the NEXT BIG THING -- whether it suits our performance or not. Perhaps, we think to ourselves, there might be that small kernel of info stored inside that will rocket us to where we hope to be. Sadly, that's hardly ever the truth -- but -- if it was worth it to the creator, and it's worth it to the actual purchaser, then the opinion of the nay-sayer who doesn't own the product isn't worth...well...a penny. It's one of the hard facts of magic -- someone is always going to have something better and more mind-baffling than you (and his publicity is also going to have that shade of shine brighter than yours). But complaining about the price and what it might be, rather than solely focusing on your own performance, will often lead to undue distress and, most importantly, failure.

And the price is totally reasonable. I would pay 10 times more if it goes into my show.

I agree that a high ticket price item like this should be bought in a different way to the latest 10$ curio ebook - it shouldn't be an impulse purchase, that's probably the point of the high price. If I were planning on getting this (and I'm not in case my partner is reading) and I had any questions or doubts about it, I think I would probably just send Colin Mcleod or Paul Brooks an email and buy or not on the basis of that. £200 is fair money if something goes in my set, but I want to be sure it will be going in before I spend, and I would never trust an advert to inform me on that front. Remember when we used to cruise into Davenports, bum around and ask what's new and what's worth it? C

Totally agree dudes! This is an investment. The problem with marketing is revealing enough about the routine so you understand what is going to be getting performed, but holding enough back so it's not so transparent what it actually is you're doing! It's a difficult line to tread (I find anyway!), but as ever, always happy to answer any questions I can! So private message me with thoughts or concerns.
Always happy to help! Much love! Col.

Frankly, as soon as I saw the price tag on this, my instant thought was Whisper by Ken Dyne. Virtually the same price, pre-ordered at a similar limited edition amount. I'm beginning to wonder if this is becoming a trend. It's going to be a d*** expensive one if it catches on.
![]() Joking aside, the next thing I thought was, "Wow this sounds like gold." Two highly reputable creators creating a thought reading technique that doesn't involve stooges, writing, preshow, etc. Best of luck chaps, when it's released I may buy it. ![]()

No. That's a very special kind of disappearing act. One where the performer disappears up himself.

Dual reality is a new slang term for making a number 2.

I am glad this book cost $215 so all these yahoos will not be able to buy it. If you do not know the work of Paul and Colin then don't even try to post in this thread.
A Doctor, lawyer, consultant or even the computer Geek Squad charges $200.00 an hour for their professional consulations service knowledge. You want professional work here you will have it. You want a cheap trick go to penguin magic. Think about it. |

Also, all because you don't know another way to achieve the desired outcome without the use of the above methods doesn't mean that this is the real deal. Rick Maue released his brilliant "Imagine" routine a few years ago and it doesn't rely on any of the above methods either. It's also impromptu and looks very real when presented properly. Just keep in mind that the limits of our understanding is not the limit of all there is to understand. -rob |
