Is "Heirloom" back in stock, and if so, where? Can I purchase it in the US?

Alakazam have an outlet in the US, so that would be your best bet.

Just got this and looking forward to performing it.
So easy to do and yet such a powerful effect with the right presentation.
Just about to hunt for a suitable wallet to do this with.

Has anyone tried this in a performing situation yet? What reactions/comments did you receive?

Dont do this often. Although I did get some good reactions, there were a couple of " How many photographs have you got in that wallet?" which has detered me a little from performing it.

Finally got round to getting the Heirloom wallet today and it's a great prop.
You could do KK with this too, but I think Heirloom is the better effect.
Has anyone purchased the other Heirloom pack that Alakazam are selling?

I have had the heirloom for quite some time now so I was really grateful for the pointer earlier on in this thread to www.undeground-collective.com

I bought the "Legacy" from them as an e-book as it contains enhanced information to improve the effect of Heirloom. In my humble opinion I would say that if you use this trick frequently then you will definitely gain from it. Over 50 pages of quality material. I think it costs £12 for the instant pdf donwload.

I did think about this and it sounds great, but for some luddite reason, I find myself adverse to paying for downloaded documents and don't trust it.
The extra Heirloom pack that Alakazam are selling, is this the same thing? Is it any good?

I peformed Heirloom for somone for the first time last night and does create an uncanny and powerful response. A superb effect that relies on your presentation and storytelling abilities and certainly not one you can peform as a "quickie".
I'm going to really enjoy this every time I do it. The Heirloom wallet is also the perfect prop for it and can be used for many other effects. Well worth it.

I can definitely recommend it. I understand your concerns about downloading stuff - I have wasted my money before. The trick's success really is dependent on your story telling abilities.

I would say the download is worth it for two reasons:

1) It gives you good ideas about the props themselves, aging etc
2) Some of the stories in here are truly wonderful and it has revolutionised how I perform this trick.

I believe that the material has been amassed from a lot of users of this trick from forums etc and has been meticulouly researched.

Thanks Shane. Good gawd, I may purchase my first download!

hiya freddie, andy here!! how are you, anyway yes yes heirloom is good but also get the response of how many photograhs do you have in there!!! to which point i sprint outta the bar and never return!!!

Hello matey!

Luckily I can show them the wonderful Heirloom wallet empty and they ask no questions. Well, they see the gun in my pocket and ask no questions actually....

better than KK or just different, I love KK and that smack in the mouth punch ending, is this more subtle ?

This spooks people out more and get some odd reactions.
It uses the same principle as KK, but this routine depends on your abilities to spin a good yarn and create an atmosphere.
To get the maximum impact, it depends on how convincing you are at telling the story and making it sound true, rather than some patter learnt from the instructions.
I like to use words to build anticpation and build things up and this effect is perfect for that and one I enjoy performing.
You can turn the ending into a ghost yarn and act quite shocked yourself.
It gets great reactions everytime I've used and would recommend it.

I prefer it to KK for the storytelling aspect and the shivers it has caused to tingle down the spines of some of the people I have performed it for!

Hi,

Glad you like Heirloom.

Regarding the 'how many photos do you have in there', if asked this I always respond: "52 - that's why it's so thick!" and show them my clearly slimline wallet.

For Legacy... from this, the one thing I always carry with me now is Uncle Charlie's Poker Hand. Personally I think I get better response from this than Legacy - and it can be performed in a very similar spooky style.

Regards,

Jamie.

Good to hear from you again Jamie !
