I own this.
Here's the proof: The numbers below the Bar Code are: 5 060310 861482 > I don't like what happens if numbers 2, 3, 4, or 5 are picked. 1 and 6 are clearly the most desirable choices to have your spec choose. If I saw a video of any of those other numbers, I would not have bought it, which is exactly why the video demonstrated a performance using 1 or 6. Nardi knows that. And he knows it very well. Sales would plummet if a demo using number 2 were used. Or 3. Or 4. Or 5. "Hey, Bill, when we shoot the video, please choose number 1 or number 6." Having said that, I'm not sure if I will use it or sell it. I will not say any more here about it. Argue all you want without me.

Jack, have you seen the extra video in your Alakazam account? This is pretty good!

I tried googling this but didn't really have any luck.
But I'm curious what number the group of users of this effect here on the Café (or other similar effects allowing a free choice of numbers 1 thru 6) is finding they have selected most often? As a casual hobbyist performer I don't perform this enough to really get a broad sampling but maybe between all of us we can determine a number which is picked most often. In the 4 times I have done this, the number 2 was picked twice. That's the only number that has been picked more than once for me. In case you're wondering why I want to know, part of it is simple curiosity but I also believe it would be valuable to know. I wish you could do polls on this forum, that would make it easier. So help us all out and please post what number is selected the most for you? |

Just did this for my wife and she was amazed - she's desperate for me to do it again. I'm sure she will see it again soon and work it out, but I'll try and hold off that moment!

"Multiple outs" is a term to describe an effect that is routined so that different paths of achieving an outcome are possible and expected to be utilized over the course of performances.

I do like the trick and so far it has gone over well. However I was somewhat disappointed in the method. It is really just a rework of many other tricks although a very clever rework. |

Please watch the video that should be in your Alakazam account - the code to register is shown towards the end of the DVD. There is a great handling which really strengthens the presentation for a couple of the choices!

I didn't buy this from Alakazam but from a different dealer. Can you post this video?

Sorry, but I look at them as "outs" because you have to get something else into play besides the envelope after the number is chosen.
I thank Jonathan B for getting me to watch the new video. I see it as an improvement that I will use IF I end up using this. But this is still not as good as all of the people who like this say it is- in my opinion, of course. I carry "Legacy" with me all the time, and I prefer that over "Symbol". It's the same, but different. Or maybe it's different, but the same. But nothing is questionable using "Legacy" to me.
