No I say I ask them to think of a word and set it into the cryptex as the code for it. I have a prediction already in the shaft. Do something else with them so they think that the scroll is the predicted thing like a book test or something. Then as a second thought I divine the word they...

No they set the word that you predict. This way it avoids the idea that the cryptex is gimmicked in someway.

I personally disagree with having a secondary reveal inside the chamber the moment occurs at the wrong time. Also how would you practically send the word? Booktest, instant stooging, the only method that would work effectivly is psych forcing. The only way this would play effectivly is if...

I think with a little work this could be really scary. Imagine this; ask a spec to think of a word and set the thing that word. You write something roll it up and place it in the chamber. Do a few other effects then you reveal the word and as a kicker the word that they chose was written on the...

The face up classic pass looks like trick photography.

The impression comes out as a mirrored image if you use it in one of the ways that tommy suggests. My handling it comes out perfect.

The reset for the Tommy Pad is similar in duration and method to the UI one. However it can be done infront of spectators but just not between them. Also you do not need a transparent cover it just helps add to the deceptiveness I personally dont use it.

I am using the Tommy Pad tonight as well. I love it for casual performances where I am likely to loose props or just give them away.

Do I have to cut it up and glue it together for you too:P http://www.alakazam.co.uk/product-The-Tommy-Pad-PDF-Book-by-Thom-Bleasdale.html

If I don't have my butterfly I use the Thommy pad. Is that enough of a review. I will add a funny performance story aswell. On Wednesday I was performing at a mates 21st (I was not drinking one month sober today.) Anyway towards the end people were coming in from the street I did a...

JV that $7.65 (I made some today.) is enough to make 10 pads not just one.

I don't mind it nice and simple with a ending that I did not see expect.

I use the Butterfly Pad personally. However if I left it at home and get asked to perform something with only a little notice I will always make up a thommy pad you can get the pdf download at Alakazam. It costs (in Australia) about $7 - $8 to make about ten pads.

I use to practice anything and everything however now I just practice the things I use in performance as my set is pretty much solid now.

Thats great news kidd. I have a new stage show opening on Friday (I did not like Se7en). This one is ****ing amazing, I hope it goes well.

For the Vigil comment where did he say that? Just because most of his releases are card related I will still wager that he knows how easily cards and mentalism can turn out badly. Derren in DPB says that he feels that cards are not the strongest piece of mentalism that you can do. I am sure...

Dude you know you never need to ask. I love helping you because when I give away ideas I have phased out I fall in love with them again.

Classic pass, cull and turnover pass are all in heavy rotation at the moment.

Just to extend on what I said before, in mentalism essentially you are doing one effect in the whole show. You are reading minds, if your premise is about influencing decisions whilst not reading minds you are still telling people what they are thinking of. Of the effects mentioned in my...

Five speed uses a very small one time gimmick that has many applications in card magic. You do not even need the gimmick it just makes it easier and appear to be more far.
