Found it yesterday at Alakazam,
https://www.alakazam.co.uk/counter-intel......ood.html and ordered it. In my account the guys at Alakazam has already put up some of the video instructions. I must obviously wait for the booklet and the cards as these arrive in the post. And after watching the videos I can see that with a little thinking and effort in my "home craft office" it is possible to use this in other languages than English. I will not go into detail, not to expose antyhing. It looks nice as I can judge so far. |

Thanks. I'm glad you like it! Just to clarify, those who purchase from Alakazam will receive the videos automatically in their folder. Anyone else who purchases the effect can contact me and I will send links for the videos. I will also invite purchasers to join the Facebook group if they want to. The videos are designed to support the book that comes with the trick, but they won't replace it. You will get a flavour of some parts from the video, but the whole trick and the three principles involved is not covered in the same way so I would advise purchasers to read through the instructions book carefully. Everything is explained in there fully. Of course I can also help if anyone is unsure - it may look complex to start with but it is really quite straightforward once you follow it through in the book. And it is certainly possible to make up for other situations (including other languages) - I went through that process several times myself when designing it, but be warned that it will probably involve several trial runs! If anyone does that I'd love to see the results! As always, thanks for the positive words which really make it all worthwhile. All the best, Steve.

Arrived from Alakazam today! Only 4 days UK-Sweden! Wow, never happened before!
This is just GREAT! Thanks Steve! By the way, I put in an application for the Facebook group today as well. And I am already working on a version in the Swedish language. So, therefore I wonder: Is it possible to purchase blank cards? Ok, I can use my scanner, PhotoShop, printer and laminating machine, but it would be perfect to use the original cards. This for reasons I do not want to mention in this open forum. Steve, if you see this, what do you say. Maybe some other non-English-speaking magicians cold benefit of such a service, after buying the original English version of course. I guess the booklet number and code word could be used. Great routine, and clever thinking!! |

Hi Steve I think I read by one of the members that this needs a table to perform, I think you designed this for strolling work, can you clarify this point please.
Regards Andy H |

Hi Andy H. I suppose yes and no is the full answer. It definitely doesn't need table space to 'perform' on. To sell the psychology of the effect there should be somewhere for a discard pile once the cards have been shown, so they are in view but to the side. Strolling I've never had a problem finding somewhere - I usually use the top of a wine glass or a spectator's hand, if there isn't a surface available. You could also use the top pocket of a suit jacket, leaving in view at an angle, though I don't personally use that as I have always found a suitable place to put them. I hope that helps.

Awaiting delivery of this with great anticipation. We all know how important it is to make an effect one’s own. With the theme of spying, mine’s really easy this time. Two words: surname , Bond. Gonna have fun......

Excellent. I know exactly how you feel - that's how it felt during development! Hope it gets there soon and you have fun with it!

Admittedly, I've not yet tried this, but on a first read through, I was a bit dismayed that I must manhandle the entire pile of cards that have been set down at the very moment when I'd most want to keep my distance, right before the final reveal. It just strikes me that, were I watching it, that I'd find that the opportune moment to have done something to get the code word in place, upon reflection. I love the layers of methods in this, but that just jumped out at me as a moment that would draw suspicion in retrospect.
Testimonials from those who've done this? Of course, I know Steve has, and has clearly had great success, and it's not that I doubt him.
It's all in the reflexes.
