Do you know of any where I can get a video of a performance of this trick? I want to see one before I buy it. Thanks
I know a place where it is still available so do you know a video that shows any of the effects that can be performed with it?

Judging from Bayme's comments in another thread expect a Theory11 hypefest regarding a DVD or some other offering with it on it, that will invariably cost 5 times the amount of the original .pdf but add limited value, except production values. This will of course create a bunch of 13 year olds suddenly buying it and performing with it so badly as to completely destroy the effect. Thus if it's that important to you, wait for that to happen.
This isn't something you video. (Any more than, outside the battle sections of this forum, you'd video a double lift.)
The Advocate is a utility device that allows you to perform hundreds of effects, all of which are miraculous (much like any utility move/gimmick/thing.)
Am I the only one who wasn't a fan of The Advocate? Maybe my thoughts will change when I see the T11 release. I just think I have too many effects that can accomplish miracles far stronger than (and similar to) The Advocate to take up an entire pocket for this one gimmick. I think it's a pretty cool concept, but it's not for me really. I tend to not like DM's work. I think it's TOO gimmicked. I own Identity and don't use a single thing from it! I've also seen some of DM's work from his other PDF's. I did enjoy Dangerous because he went away from the gimmicks a bit. (Bad Influence is one of my favorite effects!) However, the stuff he releases on his own is.. eh... Not me. I haven't seen III yet which I know isn't big on gimmicks, so maybe I'll enjoy that. Anyway, The Advocate for me is nothing I would use. I have a few friends who said the same thing and wonder why it's getting a lot more praise than DM's other releases. Even though I don't like his other work, I liked it more than The Advocate. (Burn was pretty awesome! I should actually look at that again. I enjoyed it.)
Anyway, onecardwonder, did you have a bad day or something? Your post was random and uncalled for. Gotta say though, you did a great job at somehow tying The Advocate to insulting T11. I may not agree with everything T11 does and I have no problem posting about it or sending a message to JB. (I have.) However, you don't see me making disrespectful posts like this on a public board. Let's all play nice children, ok?

Just curious...why would that matter?

In summary, yes - we are exploring a project revolving around Advocate with d+M - but we're not doing it to simply repackage. We thought the concept and applications deserve it, and we're going to do it justice and do it right. Whether you choose to buy it thereafter or not is your choice - but know that we don't do anything unless we believe in it.
... which I will probably think of one dazed, painful morning while barely conscious (which is when these good ideas seem to come, strangely).
