I was one of the lucky few to get a review copy of the aforementioned effect. Anthony has some very nice ideas in this routine. Well crafted, nice cadence and easy to understand. I could see how (in the right hands) this effect would kill!

If the rest is as interesting as the effect, I would say (for the money) the book would be well worth it!

This is a really nice little booklet and genuinely worth the money that I paid for it from Lulu.

I have no connection to Anthony, but thought I would offer up why I think the booklet is of value.

There are 3 effects completely explained, from the overview of the effect, the script, method and also further reading suggestions. Whilst all 3 effects have merit, it is the subtlety and slightly ballsy approach of the first effect that was of most interest to me personally.

As Doc Steve alluded to in his earlier post, the methodology involved in prompting the required participant's response is extremely versatile, both in terms of venue and routines that it could be used in, but also (and you'll hopefully know what I mean if you have the booklet) in the palette (deliberate use of the word!) of outcomes that could be suggested. The language used in this effect is perfectly tailored to providing the desired outcome and delivers the strength of a DR type effect without the usual trade-offs associated.

In summary, this one idea is something that made me want to immediately order the 'necessary' and try it myself, which as all of us know, is a rarity.

Thank you Anthony for sharing your ideas.

Finally had a chance to take a look at Anthony's work and I must say I was very impressed. There are some great routines here,including one that could go right into my current repertoire with no tweaking at all! Great work and well worth investigating if you haven't done so yet.
