Hi Dooblehorn,
I looked into a variety of options but having Facebook host the area was the simplest and most effective way. I am sure you can sign up for FB to get I to the group without having to create a page. At the moment, this is the only place to get updates but that is not to say it will always be the case. Regards, Jon

Ok, as long as it was simple and effective for you, that's the main thing...
hopefully you can at the very least provide an alternate means for registration. |

You're welcome.
Today I uploaded some more images and backgrounds to the exclusive group. I'd love to see any reviews from those who have used it.

Is this not just the same i***x as on the original version stuck to an iPad and then combined with a keynote presentation? Or is it a different design for the i***x?

The presentational tool and the supplied prop are only a part of what you actually get and make this so much better.
There is a Facebook group in which you will find a. Database of items to add to your presentations. It's not just what I add; members are also adding content including slides and music. I will also be offering the group a presentation that would have been impossible the the original version....

As a owner of this let me just say it kills! For those people who think that using a tablet is a trade off or might cause suspicion...... Of what? The original Silent Treatment was a presentational piece that used a notebook. It did not do the trick for you. The card chosen ends up in your mouth. It is the exact same with the digital version. I could see if suddenly the card materialized on the screen or something that screamed magic app but this doesn't. Okay I can understand if you are old school and don't want to use new technology in your routines but to me the benefits clearly outweigh any of the perceived negatives. There are about 30 of us on the Facebook page and there is already a ton of cool little tidbits being shared. Ideas, music, slides, pictures, etc I highly recommend this.

This is totally unusable for me and borders on false advertising. Sorry to say, but unless you already know how to use Power Point or Key Note (which I purchased for an additional $10) you will have a difficult time figuring out how to display the provided slides. I use the original version frequently in performance and would love to be able to use this one. Unfortunately, I still cannot get it into my I Pad, nor would I be able to use it without instruction in the use of Key Note or Power Point. I now have both and still cannot figure this out. I often transfer information between my I Pad and MAC, but this is a mystery to me. Great concept that should have been explained better and Jon should have not assumed that you already know these programs, A chapter on the transfer and use of this information should have been included or a statement in the ad for this should read....."Knowledge of Key Note and how to transfer information to I Pad is necessary". I really wanted this to become a part of my act, but unless I devote a lot of time to figuring this out, it will either go up for sale or be sent back to the dealer. I love Jon Alan's work but cannot devote any more time to the technological workings of this effect. Sadly disappointed.

After working with the Key Note and finally figuring out how to transfer the files to my I Pad, I was finally successful to get this to work properly. I still think that some kind of statement about what this requires is needed as everyone does not have the technological skill needed to put all of this together.I hate being a "grinch" about this, but feel that the trick is too good to be disabled by lack of some key information.

You can simply put the set of "slides" into a folder in your picture gallery, and use the Ipad to swipe through the "slides." You can also include video clips in the set of "slides." Keynote and other presentation software enhances your use of the slides, but this effect can be done right out of the box with nothing else needed then the built in capabilities of the Ipad. He even mentions that on the video. I would think that if you're purchasing an effect that is designed for an Ipad, that you would already have a general idea of how to transfer pictures to the Ipad and how to view those pictures in the photo gallery. |

I obviously do not know everything about the I Pad but will continue to learn as much as I can about its use and application of the 250,000 apps that are available for it. Than (sic) perhaps I will be better able to perform this effectively. At 70, I obviously still have a lot to learn. Arthur |

Now that I have figured out the way to get this to work correctly I know that it will become part of my act as it is truly a great trick despite my incompetence in applying the necessary steps in getting it to work. I only have one more problem and hope that there is an easy solution. In the English version, the word "Remember" is not spelled correctly and it seems that it cannot be changed. Since I chose to use Key Note, I don;t see a way to edit this and change the spelling other than to create new text which has a different font than the supplied text. Has no one else noticed this?

Problem solved! Jon has updated the slides in the Facebook group for Silent Treatment.

I just wanted to let you know you can create new custom slides that say anything you want them to with the same font and size as the slides Jon uses. I know you are not as proficient at setting up Keynote as you would like to be. So I can help you or anyone else for that matter if you need a couple of pointers just PM me with any questions and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

The font I used is Marker Felt. It is one of the fonts on an iPad so you can create your own slides to match those of mine.
I'm also getting emails from some people who have bought it asking where the slides and photos are. If you simply look on the DVD disc itself you will see it is written that you have to click on the desktop icon. There are two folders; one is the video and the other contains all the slides and photos. Everything is there for you. If anyone notices any other spelling mistakes, or can offer any other languages, do get in touch. Thanks.
