Dominique Blanco New user 58 Posts	Posted: Mar 15, 2015 09:09 am 0 Hi all, sorry cause my english it´s very bad. I purchased the informant and received the black mail as present. I am somewhat disappointed because I wrote 3 emails to Mr. Mottta and received no answer for it. I would be happy if one of you magician pros could help me. I am not sute what to do once I have use the paper in the black envelope. Is it possible always to use the same paper a second time? I meand can I cancel the first prediction or do I need to buy a new one and for every prediction I use a new paper? I hope I could explain clear what my doubt is and I am thankfull for every help you can offer me.

In my wallet, and you can use the envelope so many times. As far as unnatural, I really like the look of the black envelope. I've never had anyone say anything. I give them my card with the number on it and the envelope goes back in my wallet. James Still with the Chinese circus

DynaMix Inner circle 1146 Posts	Posted: Apr 20, 2015 03:03 pm 0 How much pressure are you guys applying? I can't get mine to look "clear" so I've been trying to justify why it looks the way it does...
Xiqual Inner circle Upper left quadrant 4935 Posts	Posted: Apr 21, 2015 12:00 am 0 I press pretty hard, lol. I also think maybe the gimmick being in my wallet, warms it up. I get a really nice dark number. BTW, I don't write on the hard card supplied. I put my business card on top of that. James Still with the Chinese circus
music Special user 627 Posts	Posted: Apr 21, 2015 12:35 am 0 Could the envelope be inside a wallet that has a place for PW and then remove the envelope from the wallet and show the prediction?

pavelrodzevich Regular user 113 Posts	Posted: Aug 9, 2015 11:11 am 0 It didn't worked for me and there is a couple of reasons why: 1) it's really hard to make drawing clear and look like handwriting. After week of practice text on the card still looks like you've written it by your left foot 2) you can't keep it ready all the time because paper becomes dirty. That means you'll need a little preparation right before the effect 3) it doesn't last long. Only about 10-15 performances 4) how strong wouldn't be your audience management, black envelope is still too unusual For me s##mi wins this game

J.Parager....clapping hands is as sad, sorry, Jordan, what I mean't was that I really liked the use of black envelope in Knock Em Dead II because it framed the prediction so well (if you have the DVD and have seen how it was presented without that, you'll understand what I'm getting at). There's something inherently safe about a thick black envelope, in as much as it's pretty obvious that a person can't see though it. now, whilst this has nothing to do with the workings of Blackmail, it does relate to how people other than magicians think. To a lay person - possibly, I have not conducted studies into this...ha - any number of weird methods are passing through their heads...something so obviously hard to see through, cancels out the fact that you can see thought it...even though you don't need to / wouldn't want to / why would you? ha. ()I once did a coin through table and the spectator confidently told everyone (and me) that I'd had another coin stuck to the underside of the table the whole night, just waiting to perform...? Mental. he was only proved wrong by me doing it again after he'd looked under the table. Such are some peoples minds. The other reason I liked it / Like it...is because it has that very strong visual framing: white card holding prediction, against solid black. I love the colour changing card in deck plot for the same reason, my particular preference being red back in blue deck. So that was what I mean't about that, a purely personal preference to be sure. Apologies for the first post being rushed and also this one to a degree...I'm at work and have other things to do. Ustaad...as an aside....ditch the emoticons mate....you're obviously not 12. And it's May....not December. Lots of love to you all Steph I know this is an old post, but...bravo! Look for all the world like you're counting the brain cells in his cranium. -Theodore Annemann

pacozaa Loyal user 273 Posts	Posted: Jul 1, 2019 04:02 am 0 Does this one need replacement over time? Is it going to wear off? Do I have to buy a new one after a while?

I ordered this (effect and refills) on 1 Feb direct from their website. I have not received anything. Chased on 25/3 via email to info@mottamagic.com with my purchase details. No reply to my email. I don't want to open a PayPal claim if I'm just using the wrong contact details etc.
