I had just pulled myself away from this thinking 'buy it later, keep reading books for now, work on what you know, this isn't your style of magic, £30 is cheap but you can wait' Then I saw it was £15 for U.K buyers and its too late by the time I finished reading '£15 free postage' I had already brought it.

Invoke not reason. In the end it is too small a deity.

Curses.
A few days before my birthday and I caved.

At least I can say it was a birthday present to myself :D

What's the average delivery time on this bad boy?
Ordered on Friday and getting a bit antsy about getting my hands on it!

I'd say about 4-5 working days. He seems to be pretty on the ball!
Always curse myself when I order something on a Friday or Saturday....it just seems to take so much longer.

I have this. It's a killer. I tested this on my most cynical colleague and it blew him away. It does take timing. I guess I fluke it. You really must read Paul's instructions, they are intentionally verbose, you can't get it wrong.
I have to say that I haven't had a miss yet.
I now own all of his books and effects.
I am not disappointed.

regards
Mort

Right I have had this for probably nearly a year now but I am still pondering a few issues. Right the workings for one person is absolutely fine as explained in the pdf but I personally prefer to use two specs, one to read the others mind, ok I have a problem here it's not if the other spec gets it wrong but another small issue which I don't really want to discuss here so if any knowledgeable person who has this effect could give a little advice would like to pm me I will divulge a little more. This is not a major issue just something that has happened on occasion and i think I have a solution but its not fool proof so would just like a little advice. Thanks in advance.

Do you ever have that thing where you just...get really over excited about one set of products, or one author, or one brand...not necessarily magic related?

I'm having a Paul Brook moment.

Your order should be with you by now. Please check your paypal address is current and up to date. Also from time to time post gets lost in the system. Drop me an email and I will sort all of this out for you :)

I liked the idea but haven't performed yet. I need to translate it first. I scanned the card but I don't know how to do the proper writings. :)
I hope it will work as the original.

Cheers Paul,

I'm away for the weekend (actually up in your part of the country in Knowle) but will let you know if it's there when I get home.

Top customer service as always! Even better, the seller comes to the client!


:D
