Got to be Talisker for me old chum.

Even managed to pay a rather blurry visit to the distillery on Skye back in the day.


Best post ever. Obviously. Is there any other Whisky than Talisker?

Off-Topic ;-): Maybe this has already been asked, but I didn't find it by lookign through the pages (again, sorry if I overlooked it). Will TH2 be an upgrade or a new book? And adding on to that, will it grant Access to the fb Group as well? I am still "sad" (kinda) that I bought it through penguin, and as far as I know, you (Michael) have no way to verify the purchase.

RealityRocks, Michael has always gone above and beyond for me customer service wise. Might be worth a PM if you're interested in the facebook group. =)

As I understand it, TH2 is a stand alone book with different ideas and principles based around the original methodology. Purchase from Michael should give you access to the Facebook group. There has been done good stuff shared on the group that takes the idea further.

From what I gathered from the responce he gave me, there will be a TH2 stand alone and a TH/TH2 version that will give get you into the facebook group since you can only get it from him.

No Karl I was trying to be helpful. If I were to be "patronising" I would be patronizing. No that is not making fun of any learning disabilities, that is just right clicking on the word to fix the spelling. Also you know some of us Americans know the do one mate and jog off are slang for telling someone to F-off right?

I think TH is just incredibly clever and elegantly simple, but I'm still a little wary about using it in anything other than an impromptu setting. My hang-up, I think, is my worry that doing a "which hand" effect for a large group in a parlor or stage setting will come across as too simplistic. After all, it's only a 50-50 situation, right? It's my hang-up, I know, because there are probably many out there who could hold a thousand people captivated with this. Any suggestions for how to most effectively routine this for a larger presentation so it is interesting and engaging? Any links to presentations you've seen that you feel are really great? Again, TH has been a wonderful effect for me in impromptu settings. I'm just unsure how to build a more "formal" presentation around a "which hand" effect.

Thanks everyone and anyone, for your help.

BAGWIZ - I'd highly recommend picking up TH2 (once it's released) if you're looking for more routining ideas using the core principle. I believe my contribution "Pass the Tequila" will be of interest to you. I use it in most of my stage shows. Apart from that I'm expecting there to be A LOT more ideas that would fit the bill you're looking for.

Best,

Drew

Thanks Drew, I really appreciate it. Just read through the TH manuscript again and I'm thinking about trying the four spectator version. I've also got some ideas about how I might build this into a larger routine around something like "Bank Nite." There are lots of possibilities and I just have to be willing to give TH a shot.

Whisky mate, as soon as gets my benefits I celebrate with a bottle of the cheap one from aldi, sinks nicely, that and magic is my favourite stuff to buy


Good to see my hard earned taxes paying for your hobbies and drinking.

mate if your unhappy about the benefit system then vote for someone else but now go away until youve got something useful to add ok, I buiy what I want with my money and nothing to do with you mate


Actually Karl m you buy what you want with other people's money if you are on benefits. So it does have something to do with him.

Not my money though I'm in the US. Enough folks here using my money for magic and whiskey.

It's crazy a lot of you are saying you did it for your wife and kids - typical "which hand" routines work "better" on strangers for maximum impact (as is mentalism by nature) so I am very intrigued.

I've been playing with the Other Brothers "Hands Down" but that routine does not work as well for repetitive performances or family members.

I bought my original TH from Penguin. Penguin gave access to TH Deluxe to me for free.

There's iirc 2 additional handling tips from Peter Turner. He also explains why one of the alternative presentations in the manuscript is used and how it's a mnemonic device (I didn't realized that that was what it was acting as and just thought it was something which was simply more relatable to the audience).

The real meat of it is the video instructions you get with it. The videos (there are two of them) are very very very good.

Is it possible to buy videos only for those who already have it and didn't get it from Penguin? Thanks.

Oh, I didn't buy mine from penguin. I'll have to do without the bonus. Just as good. How much better could it have got anyway.
