This looks good, possibly the first truly practical piece of prop less mentalism?
Just ordered a copy from Alakazam. Quick question. I perform a routine (completely different to this) where I ask people to imagine doodling on a piece of paper (they actually draw it) I allow them to draw anything, shapes as well as objects. Does Proteus allow only for objects, therefore ruling out shapes etc? I ask mainly because when I doodle I generally go for cubes and spirals. Hope this doesn't come across as fishing. If an answer gives anything away please ignore me. |

I think propless means no doodles other than in the mind

Hi Ed,
I think it needs to be a physical something and a spiral or abstract design would be difficult but I may be wrong. Dr Rob |

Re Jacksmagic comment - I agree with this and am still awaiting for a reason but have also seen that Vanishing Inc have a retail price of £48.75 GBP so there is a price difference at a few places..
Alakazam £43.00 GBP / Propdog £42.99 - it happens a lot. Saw it a few months back with The Gift Limited Edition version from Angelo Carbone. Dr Rob |

Propdog are shipping on 5th July - so you will get it the earliest
I guess Saturn are the cheapest - if you include the 5% 'cashback' promotion I don't think MindFX have 'added' £7 onto the price My guess is the RRP is £50 - and everyone sets their price from there If you know it will sell out - then you could keep it at full price and once the better offer places have sold out - then they have to buy off you at full RRP But long term people tend to go for who ever gives you the best deal [price+service] I always feel that is Saturn [for me] I thought magicbox.uk was run/owned by MindFX [I am obviously wrong] - so I thought they would be the same price/deal - but magicbox was competitive where as MindFX was not So although MindFX is giving the extra pdf away for free… they are charging more for the book… if they add postage on top – I think it would make it £10 - £13 more than Saturn [with their free P&P and 5% cashback] So if you think the extra bits are worth £10+ more than MindFX is the best deal I would expect this ‘limited’ offer – for the first 50 copies … to be continued forever by MindFX as that is too good of an extra to not offer it to all customers. But then I think that’s the sort of BS that PT has with releases – pre order and you get ‘extra subtleties not available in the commercial release’ – that just makes me think, why are they not in the actual release… as it seems somewhat dodgy to have extra work that you are ‘holding back’ from the release, and only giving to those who buy it ‘sight unseen’ – it’s not a reward for them, it’s a punishment to those who buy the product forever after. This is not the case here, as the work has been put in by someone else [not the person releasing the product] – although I think Michael’s work and effects are very good, I thought paying £10 extra was too much [for me] Finally the best advert for this - is that Karl thinks it's bad, that's all you would need in the copy for me to snap it up... |

I read some comments here and I must say I'm quite surprised. I feel the need to clarify my philosophy in magic, that reflects in my creations.
So, I read some fellow magicians comment about "fishing" or "pumping" ... And I ask: since when these have become obsolete or out of fashion...? Reminds me of people discarding routines because they're based on a One-Ahead... Some people here, if I get it right, would like to divine any drawing without pumping, without anagram, without anything written down, without talking, without asking, without looking... :-D I would like to ask a favor to everyone here. Please, PLEASE, if you forgot that we do this, all this, for LAY audiences, if you are looking for a trick to fool your magician friends, if you feel that the method is obvious and you could divine everything in the performances, then I respect that but we DO NOT share the same philosophy. Proteus is NOT for you. And it's not a bad thing. We're all different and we all have different expectations. Proteus is BY NO MEANS an exception. Please respect people who like it, and don't waste your time and money on this. I mean it and mean no disrespect to anyone saying this. I just felt the need to express myself because I am old-fashioned and do appreciate good manners and respect. Thank you all and be well, always Phedon
...The only easy day is yesterday...

But since it is now July I'm guessing it will be the July edition...? It doesn't look like it matters when it will be shipped, just when you purchased it. |

Well Mindfx does seem to have some new stock as I just ordered there.
Rechecking the email I would wager all preorders get the extra material Michael created. So if it worth to you to pay extra for it go for it, I did and so far was never disappointed by Mr. Murray output. I guess he is very busy with his minds convention this weekend. Cheers Stefan |

Just ordered from MindFX and remember after you add to cart you have to go to the top of the
page to checkout. I'm going to have a lot of fun with this. |

I didn't get it overseas to prevent extra costs even though one company was including Jesse Feinberg's Shadowbox DVD. I couldn't find much in the way of reviews for this older product. Anyone have this? Don't want to hijack thread, just a quick note. Thx
