Hi Jon,
my DVD didn't work BUT I found a way to watch it anyway: I just created an image file on my Computer and watched the ISO file via the VLC player. Maybe that will help some of the users... Cheers Nikki

Jon,
Have you heard anything back from Murphy's as to if they have them in yet? For those that have this, has anyone incorporated Money or paper/notes with theirs? I am 100% excited about the card option, but have always wanted to try and do something with a bill or note. Thanks Mike |

Hi Mike,
All I know is that they are on the way from the manufacturer. I haven't been told they have arrived yet and even when they do, I'm not sure how long Murphy's take to get it to dealers. Best ask them I'm as eager for this to get into more people's hands as anyone!

Hey Jon,
this looks really great I just wonder if any europe magic shop sells the Paragon 3D, because I couldn't find a shop so far?! |

Thanks.
I think Murphy's have taken stock of them but not 100% sure. You'll have to ask them when the dealers will be getting them. Best ask your favourite one to get in touch maybe...

One question: why don't you guys just buy directly from the manufacturer/creator?

I was hoping to get it faster locally here in MD. And the exchange rate stinks for Dollar....and buying from my local shop saves on shipping....
But, I went ahead and bought from Jon direct yesterday. He's a great guy and I do support as much as I can afford to do. Unfortunately, the DVD's are still messed up on his end as well. Not at all his fault. And he's staying in contact with me which is what I respect about him. Honesty up front. I'm very excited about this and it will be worth the wait. |

Back on topic of what truly matters:
Anyone have additional ideas on using money with this? We all love and perform with cards....which is awesome! How long does it take to switch out what you want to use? For example, today I want to use a card. Tomorrow use a dollar bill... Just curious. |

I have nearly owned them all but have settled on Eco-Box. I just placed an order for this and am eagerly anticipating its arrival.

I called Murphy's but the relevant people are at the Genii convention. I am sure they have them on the premises but they need to do..... Whatever it is they need to do to get them to dealers.
Some have sent some out for review and I also hope those who bought it for their professional work will also post reviews. Excuse the indulgence but I got this from Alexander de Cova after he received one: "I am absolutely flattered to see my humble concept grow into that thing! You are really genius!!! And you know, I am an honest person. Your Paragon is truly the ultimate card in box version (or should I say: the concept and construction of the switch). I mean - there is NOTHING like it, and I honestly don’t think there is much room for improvement. Absolutely stunning. I am proud to be a small part of this! Concerning the technique: Paragon IS the best and most visual/convincing method extant. No doubts about that. In my opinion, there is NO other method that achieves the result that quickly, visual and convincing. Full stop. Not even the original LAGER switch. Basta. You did magical history."

I'm very excited about this. I have Regal's version and I'm extremely curious about Jon's new creation as he's always a few steps ahead in his thinking.
My question is whether one could use this for Parlour or stage - or more suited for just close up? I was able to rejigger Regal's gimmick to a much larger size for bigger shows. No matter what - I fully plan to order PARAGON 3D.

Can this be used for stage or parlour? If framed properly then I'd go with "Yes".
For parlour, you can raise the box of the table using an upturned wineglass. This looks quite elegant. If you want to isolate it more, you can cover it with a tall glass or container. This makes it into something more substantial than just a box on a table. For stage, a small prop can be used for a larger effect with mentalism. If you use it for a prediction, have someone come up on stage, unfold the piece of paper 'that was in the box' and read out what is written. Another idea is to have it as the final box in a nest of boxes. Again, making something small into something more substantial. Hope that's stimulated some ideas for you.

Good thoughts Jon. I just dug out my old glass box prediction (Mann/Knight) and tinkered around with the nesting idea. Each 'layer' can hold a prediction, pass the parcel style, using the one ahead principle thanks to the way Paragon 3D operates. The predictions can build to a satisfying climax. Let me work out the finer details and I'll drop you a line to see what you think. It's great being retired and having time to tinker.
