It should help a little, yes

Yeah that's right, he used to go a-performing for E over there...

Art of Astonishment would be a great investment, as would Card College. If it were me I'd get a whole bunch of the books on my wants list - but most of them are either old stuff or IMO above 9 month's experience worth of stuff... I honestly think though that you should focus on books, they're...

Derren Brown goes over the ethics of mindreading at various points in his publications, quite accurately so. But I digress - I don't believe it's right to make money using what you can pose and psychic powers. On the other hand, I feel rather apathetic towards the victims - sometimes Mother...

Another nice review, am I right in thinking this would more or less be either a stage or seated at a table to an audience type effects? In what context would you personally perform these effects, and out of curiosity, how original is the concept?

Is it just me or does no-one else know their Mayan zodiac sign? If it is not, doesn't that kinda diminish the point of divining it? "Yeah check out your sign on this chart... It's this one isn't it?" That's an exaggeration of course but I'm sure you get my gist, unless I totally misunderstand...

It is meant to improve the condition of a deck which has been thoroughly worn down. Don't ask me about the science behind it, but probably something to do with getting moisture out.

@ blahblah regarding witnessing: It doesn't have anything to do with Jehovah's Witnesses, I think he just meant witness as in bringing God's word to others (testifying to the Bible's validity and so forth) - Jehovah's Witness was a name adopted by the group in 1931 as their official name...

Damn you Wilson, last time I looked at 5-Alive (a few months ago) I still had no idea what the plague was going on! :P

Fred - Mix Tape comes to mind too, incidentally...

Hey datskanars, thanks for the reply... Based on Damian's and my own reasoning I would tend to go for a psychological type force over the classic. An interesting thing I just thought of, to both of you, is that in Pure Effect Derren makes a point of telling them to "burn" the image in their...

Alas! In my dainty efforts to impart my recently acquired knowledge, I have completely failed to read your post properly! Baha, I'm an idiot, my apologies, you're absolutely right, it's an interesting use for cues... I suppose on a very basic level though it's the same as asking the spectator...

I think of it more like a call you out if I disagree instinct. Congratulations, over the course of about 3 posts, you have managed to transform from asking for peace to patronising someone. As I mentioned before, jbear and I have settled our argument and respect each other's conflicting views...

Hey man, Well that's the thing about Plerophoria it really doesn't sound like a particularly... practical effect per se that could be used much at all. Perhaps at a coffee table following some mentalism effects and what have yous, but yeah... It'd be good as a stage effect, if I actually...

lol! "And here I have an incredibly valuable item signed by... Oh yeah, me!" ~ALTERNATIVELY~ "And here I have... Bah... *Rip*"

Thanks for the info romeo... Incidentally, in Pyrotechnic Pasteboards, several routines sound like they could use this principle, does anyone know (adjones? :D) which routine or if several routines use this?

You'd have to be sure that you could perform in the time available until the ice melted, and you'd also have to have to be able to track the ice cube (ie. would be hard in a restaurant to track, but at a party with a manual ice dispenser, it would work. Not a mechanical one that modern fridges...

Have you even been reading the last page of this thread? Stop trying to provoke the embers, in case you haven't noticed, yes we already have sorted this out and ended the argument. By trying to unnecessarily condescend, you already were being childish. Yes, I was arguing, and I have every right...

Mike, keep in mind that there is one flaw with NLP Eye Accessing Cues, namely that there is no guarantee that every single person in the entire world follows it. Whilst it is true that a large majority follow those habits with those cues, this does not apply to everyone. I myself tend to look...

Hey guys, a few random questions, starting with, as the title suggests, Derren Brown's Plerophoria effect... a) Purely out of interest, I read that there was a slightly difference between the Pure Effect and the Derren Brown Lecture DVD descriptions of this effect, and I was wondering if anyone...
