I just wanted to add my thoughts to this review thread.
I bought the DVD, PDF and kit from Thom directly
HERE.
Thom told me by email that the gimmick he sent out was not his usual, but he gave me enough detail that I can now source plentiful quantities of the 'good sh*t' myself - as Ted says, it is easily available on Amazon.
I made up my pad a couple of weeks ago, after finding an A6 pad that was perfect (I wanted a slightly bigger pad than the one supplied - although I will be gaffing that one up too). The pad I found had a yellow cover, which I found to be even better than the completely clear covers mentioned in the original method.
This weekend I gave the pad a proper run out in two routines performed at a dinner party.
I was frankly amazed at how crisp the impression was - not just for images, but for words, which is what I really needed.
I love how the impression is bold and clear yet simultaneously completely invisible. Very devious!
The method allows for a very natural handling, even with spectators to my left and right as well as in front of me.
The nature of the gaff means I felt completely calm and confident letting the spectator handle the pad - and yet the minute I have it back it is so easy to get the peek! Close it up and you're done.
I have a feeling this will serve me well for some time to come.
