78p gets me proof of postage but not signed delivery.

You ordered on the 24th. It would have been posted the same or next day.

It should be with you. If it is not there by morning let me know.

Hmmm, this book obviously works - somehow, without realising it, I've hit that 'Submit' button. Very strange...... :wink:

been having a bit more fun with this. i asked someone if they fancied being hypnotised, and they said yes.

I did a "speed induction", before making their feet not nly stuck to the floor, but also making them forget about the hypnosis.

It was rather funny when they tried to walk but couldn't, and had no idea why.

well...I thought it was...

screw invisibility...the funnest thing to do is by far making their feet stuck to the floor!

Love

Great. I get over one bout of CUPS (Torn, Torn Too and a "Rubik's Cube"), see this, and have just ordered my copy.

My bank manager is going to kill me by the end of the month...

how come? A standard book is about £1.50 first class then for signed delivery (with insurance cover up to about 35quid) is an extra 70 odd pence isn't it? That's what they tell me? God knows.

I'll let you know if it turns up tomorrow anyway mate.

just thought I'd keep everyone updated on my hypnotism practicing stories.

I just had a lot of fun :twisted:

I did the wake up script e.t.c, after a bout of hypnotism, which is fun

but then i just had a little play...

i would just randomly say "your feet are stuck to the floor", "your hands are stick" e.t.c

by far the funniest was when i had both her hands stuck to the table, and she rested her head on her arms giggling her head off at how funny everything felt, when I suddenly said "you know what the real funny thing is? The fact that your head is stuck as well"

At this she was stuck with her head on her arms, with her hands on the table.

Later on she started itching the inside of her thigh, and I said "thats stuck there as well by the way" to a very humourous response.

Had one more failure today, but that I think was because the participant was very scared, so in the end I said that I won;t do it because although she wanted to, she was frightened. She was half under, but wasn't 100% happy.

But I did have a lot of fun...especiialy when she picked up an empty can of strongbow and i stated that it was stuck to her hand...

:twisted:

Love

Check out this Rubik's Cube effect: available on www.elliemaes.co.uk for £4.99 plus postage. As said in another post, I've not bought from that site so can't comment on its service. I note you've already got a Rubik's effect already.

Just wanted to say thanks to all of you on Talk Magic who have shown interest and ordered my book.

Also just to remind you that if you ordered from me and are a magician/mentalist then I will send you for free in the first in a short series of supplements to RIP aimed at you. Just email me.

I ordered this a couple of weekends ago based on the strength of this thread. Arrived nice and early the following Monday :D I haven't really put anything into practice but based on some of the things written here, i can't wait to try! Need to go though it once more first, though.
Thanks Anthony for the Book and DVD, and thanks B_B for the heads up :)

I contemplated buying it when my pay cheque came in yesterday but as it was a shy of my overtime I'm now left in a position where I'm already well over budget for this month (and it's the 1st today!). maybe next month?

Nope. I'm hoping Mr Crozboz is going to assist with that day and buy something off me as it's the only way I'm getting anywhere this month

You are magicians and hypnotists. Why are you paying for beer?

I find it less dangerous to pay for my own beer and I get way less drunk

As the many free beers I had on Saturday will attest to, still I had a blast
