Well you got me Jon, I was looking for the gimmick and could not see it anywhere.
I am 100% going to be using your version, the box is also very nice and very strong, there is no way this is going to break easily. I also like the fact that they can hold the box and if they do look under they see what they should the back of the card.

When are you releasing this to the public, Jon? I would love to get my hands on this =) I saw the 10 seconds video clip and I am totally floored. I might have to bandage myself because I fell off my chair real hard.

So how does this differ from the Lager Switch?

Owners, if want a giggle then stick the Paragon DVD into your computer and look at the title Jon gave the DVD.
Cheeky!

I've bought this. I've also got Mystery Solved, The Box and Clarity Box - I've also got a few wooden boxes - yes, I like a card to box.
After performing all of the above I now think Paragon is the best method for card to impossible location. The reason is simple - if you put a signed card and a plastic box down after you've finished, everyone immediately goes for the box. I think it's because it's something they've never seen before, and want to know 'how it got in there'. They've already held the card and signed the card - it doesn't help them 'solve the mystery'. That's my opinion anyway, looking forward to trying this in the real world. |

Anyone (Jon?) got any info on how to purchase one of these? I can't find anything on Jon's Site.

I just saw the demo and it does look good! As long as the selected card doesn't have to be g!^^!1<ed and f@***d I'd be interested in using it. However, It does look like it may use something similar to a Shim Lim idea (if anyones knows what I mean)

I saw Jon performing this live in Blackpool and it looks insane. This is by far the best looking card to box I have ever seen and I am sure that this is hard to top. Thumbs up Mr. ALLEN

I've never had a person ask to examine a box after performing a 'Card to Box' but it's nice knowing that you could if you wanted to. A comparison that comes to mind is performing a fractal packet trick with playing cards and then casually leaving the cards on the table. I don't believe (in most cases) that there is an audience management issue as another Café member indicated from a previous post.

For those asking about availability, I only have around 60 left from the Blackpool batch. I am in the process of getting more made but they will not be ready for around 8 -10 weeks or so. I'm looking to make a few changes and additions to the package you receive.
I need to speak to my web designer to see when it can be added to my site. I'm going to leave other people to comment on the virtues of Paragon...

Jon,
I ordered Paragon and Score directly from you this morning. Will I and other purchasers get the changes and/or additions that will be provided in the package to future purchasers? Thank you very much. Michael Siegel
