Interesting if true..I just asked my wife what she'd think if somebody came into our home and guessed the alarm code and she told me straight away how it could be done.

Greg, as someone with a fair amount of experience in the dealer's rooms of many a magic convention, I can tell you that the belief that if you price things high enough, it will keep them out of the hands of the merely curious is a canard.
Most of the people who spend a lot of money on magic are merely curious. Most big money purchases are made by hobbyists who love magic and have some money to burn. Not at all a criticism. Merely an observation. So if you were hoping to keep this material out of the hands of non-pros, well, I'm afraid that won't happen. But I am confused as to why you would state that you would want to keep this out of the hands of the curious to start with? If you're not a name people are familiar with and no one has seen the material, then who else would purchase except the curious?

Your comments on who buys higher priced items is interesting. The main way I determined my price are these are my pet effects that I have performed over the years. There are 15 effects, essays and other material. Over 100 pages. Ultimately this is what I thought these effects were worth. Sales have been very good at this price level and I am very happy with the sales and the reviews. I have only had one negative review from an actual purchaser---pretty good on this site . One reviewer who paid full price on the penny thread said well worth the money. Lots of similar praise. At the end of the day how do you price your secrets? There is no firm answer but I am happy with my choice. As far as my reputation, I am a mentalist. In that world I certainly am better known. I have noticed there is an enormous difference between magicians (who won't know me) and mentalists. I defintely do not recommend this book for magicians. I hope that helps you understand where I am coming from ( the best I can do from my smart phone) |

I am inclined to agree with Cameron, when I was a full time pro I spent very little on material, sure I would happily pay a premium for a high quality prop but my stage act developed gradually over the course of a number of years. It was (and still is) very rare for me to add a new effect, rather the way I would present the existing effects would evolve with experience. When I added new material I had a very specific idea of what I wanted in that slot.
Right now I would class myself as a semi pro magician and a hobbiest mentalist and all my purchases have been from the hobbiest mentalist perspective. Should I make any purchases from the semi pro side of things they will be very specific and targeted, I will already be fully conversant with the effect and will have a good idea of where it will fit into my act and how I plan on presenting it.

And, whoever said I was mature? I'm a children's entertainer. Most of what I do can be considered immature for someone my age. Take a look at my vest, would a mature 44 year old wear something like that and talk to puppets?
Danny I gotta say that made me laugh so much I spat a mouth full of tea out,lol. |

Sorry about that. That happened to me once while having a tea party with my dolls. Needless to say, they refuse to have tea with me ever again. Pity.

A letter is sent to a newspaper with a prediction of multiple sporting events or even the score of a game. The prediction is correct. The letter arrives at the newspaper before the games are played and can be opened before the games are played. The performer can contact the newspaper after the games and doesn't need to hype himself because the prediction does all the talking. I am undecided about releasing Juice but will give it free to any purchasers of Inspired (who have complied with Café rules). I was hoping to have it finished by now but still a week or so off. Thanks |

If you have purchased a copy of Inspired and have not PMed me already, please do so. I anticpate Juice will be released Monday or sooner and I will send you a free copy. Juice will be included with any future purchases of Inspired as well. I have no plans at this time to release Juice as a stand alone effect. Thanks

Anyone who purchased Inspired and is waiting for the release of Juice, sorry for the delay. I got sidetracked on the release of Devil's ACAAN (which has its own thread on Latest and Greatest). I generally don't miss deadlines but since Juice is a bonus and free (to purchasers of Inspired per my earlier posts) I hope everyone understands. Hope to have it finished soon. Thanks
