Wasn't so interested in this at first, but would like to force a word and revisited it. Found a clip on You-Tube and if it is as clean as the clip shows, it may be worth the price of admission. Has anyone seen this in action, recommendations good or bad.

Hello, so no one has it and can comment on it?
It's true that the trailer is useless except to show the spectator's perspective. |

Given there is dirty work involved, it does look surprisingly clean.

I can virtually guarantee it won’t look like the YouTube clip. In that clip, the force word is there on the page the whole time.
In actual performance, I’m sure you show the clear aspect of the bookmark and then hide it as you ask the spectator to tell you when to stop. Then you lean in and show them the word that is underlined. I don’t think they would be able to see the movement through the panel for the actual force. A very deceptive trailer if you ask me.

To be fair, this is hardly the first time someone has said "I know! Let's take a totally solid, simple, deceptive, organic method and mess it up by introducing some gimmicky plastic prop that looks like nothing anyone has ever seen in the real world, and whose working eliminates some of the main strengths of the original, all for the sake of being able to say we've addressed a ridiculously minor condition that no one who actually uses this method has ever cared about."
Every problem contains the seeds of its own solution. Unfortunately every problem also contains the seeds of an infinite number of non-solutions, so that first part really isn't super helpful.

Reminds me a bit of a part of the method in Infamous by Daniel Meadows and James Anthony, but assuming the method is similar, I agree with everyone else that I can't see how it could possibly be as clean as in that video. Also, with Infamous you have a much broader routine built around it that works.

Real Secrets had a very similar prop and routine called "The Hole Word" as part of their Year 2 subscription. They credited the original idea to Wordo by Hubert Brill, and also mentioned Phil Goldstein, Barrie Richardson and Banachek for variations. It never played well for me.
