I got mine yesterday, and spent pretty much time on trying to find out the secret and how it works.
Believe me, I couldn't!! After having read the manual and played with the thing today, I can only say that this is a most amazing item, and that it has tons of possibilities. The routines described in the manual look really great. The reason for why I bought it, is the routine in Dynamic Mysteries. If you can find it anywhere, just get it! Sven

Sven, I can second your comments. The quality is first rate and the book is manditory for anyone thinking of doing blindfold work. Richard has shared great routines and most important stratigies to produce maximum effects in presentation.

Gentlemen,
Since Dynamic Mysteries was mentioned earlier by Sven, and since part of it pertains to my blindfold, let me tell you that I just put up my last (extra) copy of Dynamic Mysteries on eBay. You can find it with a simple search. I also put up 2 other great mentalism books, one is by Al Mann. Thanks again for all your great comments about the blindfold. Richard |

Hi Richard,
I'm planning to buy your blindfold. And my face is almond shaped and longish. I feel the blindfold might be too large. I wanted to ask you. Once I get your blindfold can I wear it on and if it doesn't suit or is too large for my face can I make one out of sheet metal and use the same principle/method in it. Is it easy to fabricate a better fitting one if I'm too particular about the looks thing ?. I would appreciate your advise. Thanks. |

BTY, I have your EMMM set and put together a phone book for the test. An hour later, after finding a single area coded book, not easy to do here in the UK, and I've got a prop that is great. I've done it a half dozen times and have pulled it off as shown. Even flipping all of the pages open prior to doing the effect didn't expose the gaffs. When will your new DVD set come up? |

So does the book that come with it include routines, or no? if so, could you give me a brief description of them. it just says "What’s more, a brand new book by Osterlind is included that contains the full workings of the blindfold plus revolutionary ideas, some of which have never before been disclosed." that doesn't give me the impression that there are routines in there

If I recall correctly, there is a psycometry routine, an incredible book test, an acid test, a great routine where you stab a balloon on a volunter’s hand, and a routine from Ted Lesley involving billets that I can really remember in detail.
Besides, the blindfold itself is superb, and Richard’s explanations as good as usual. |

I finally succumbed to the hype and recommendations and picked up this blindfold today. I've been having a problem with the all-important fitting of the blindfold. No matter what I do (and I've fiddled with it for a good 2 hours), it just doesn't seem right. I had much higher expectations for this item, so I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong. I've sent Richard a PM and if anyone else has any advice it would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers! Brandon |

Brandon;
Unfortunately (-or fortunately for that matter  ) are our heads and head shapes not identical
I also used some time with the fitting. After I got valuable advices from Richard and a little more experimenting of my own, I made it fit perfect. I'll PM you. Sven

Thanks! I look forward to your message. Richard was kind enough to respond to my PM and offer a quick suggestion which seems to help quite a bit. I'm still not sure if I should keep adjusting the SSB or start adjusting my face!

Is the blindfold easy to use? How good of a peek can you get?

Hi Mackmania,
I do use steel blindfold and it really is not difficult to use. All I can say is that you have a quite clear view so you can see all whats going on in the room. I don't want to say more here. But it really is very convincing since you can put it on a spectator before you use it and she will confirm you apparently cannot see anything. Greetings Thomas |

I second that. Wonderful works. I bought mine 1987(!), and even the elastics are still fresh and usable!

So I have been in possession oif a black variation of this made from plastic, would this be considered a knock off? Was this principle a new one or one that predates osterlind?

If you are having trouble "fitting it", keep at it.
I have a relatively small sized head (I wear a size 6 and 7/8 hat and that is small especially considering all of the highly active intellectual content inside...) but it only took me a short time to get it formed right and to be productive. Remember, when you first put it on, you should not be able to see anything. Then by following the instructions in the book, you should have it. As for it being an uncommon item, I tell people that because I do not want there to be any chance of me being accused of seeing though an ordinary blindfold, I have acquired this most extraordinary one. It is solid metal, and except for Superman, (and my wife will attest to my not being Superman - line you might drop...), no one can see through it. It is exactly what it appears to be. Solid Stainless Steel. I use solid stainless steel so that it doesn't rust when I sweat from squinting and trying to see through it, which is impossible. Then have a spectator try it out, and when they have it on, tell them to look at you though the blindfold, and tell you what you see! I can guarantee that they will see nothing. Becasue that is all there is to see. Also upon having them come onto stage, If you don't use the Superman/wife line above, you can ask him if he really is Superman in disguise, then immediately look out into the audience and say "His wife says; no way!"

There's a common thread found in the rationalization when thieves knock off an existing trick. The code word that facilitates the dirty deed is "principle" -- which is a less than clever way of deflecting from the real issue. As my friend Jim Sisti is quick to point out, changing from a red deck to a blue deck doesn't make it a new trick; it makes it a knock off. Richard's application and handling of his blindfold is a principle-plus-blindfold marriage no one else considered before he did. That makes it his. And making the blindfold out of black plastic just makes it Richard Osterlind's Stainless Steel Blindfold -- just in plastic. Does that help? John |
