And here's the thing I distinctly remember about one (though I've forgotten the effect), when I looked at the effect, to me, it looked terrible. Yet he was insisting that it was good. Opinions, man, everyone's got 'em. |

Pagasus, it's way past time for you to leave your parents basement and get a life other than being a Troll on this forum!
Just my opinion!!

Ahhh... the Magic Café... everyone raise their glass of vitriol and make a toast!
I still recall the day I met Beaker from the Muppets. He said to me "Meep, meep, mee mee mee Meep!", and that has made all the difference.

Certainly no one has come up with a method exactly as Paul done it in his demo .
That will be because apart from pure luck ( perfect outcome ) it cannot be done this clean Gaz 🙂 |

Knowing Paul he'll say he originally published it in 1976 in some obscure magic magazine and it's been out of print for years.

Has anyone actually bought this product when it was apparently released a year or so ago and can confirm the demo was not showing just a perfect scenerio outcome (most routines of this type requiring "jazzing" at some point).

To my knowledge no one has bought it and it’s impossible as per the demo shows only in a perfect one off pure luck scenario Gaz 😊

I have to say I really hate the Just Fate version. (Not because I also happen to be a Brit!).
The problem is that the method is utterly transparent in the process. You don't need to be a magician to figure this out - just someone who is pretty good at solving puzzles. The biggest clue is that he tells her they are going to cut a dark card to the top. By definition, this is going to split one of the pairs she just apparently created. It's a short logical step to figure out why he picks them up in "random" order. And from there to realise how he knows what he needs to know. Even if the spec can't work out the specifics, they will sense there was "something fishy". This is totally different from other versions like Symbology, Beyond Perfect ESP, Bob's Your Uncle - in which there is no obvious funny business. The Paul Gordon version looks amazing - but is presumably staged to show off the cards. (Or is the 1/120 perfect outcome) |

It’s the Antique ESP cards he is selling that routine is only possible in the perfect case scenario. He is just advertising the cards in the demo so why not set up the perfect scenario which either happened or was just pure luck Gaz 😊

So is the original video posted just a perfect outcome?
Is it the same as Just Fate by Thom Peterson? |

Yes, to your 1st question and no to the 2nd it’s not the same effect unfortunately Gaz 😊
