This sounds quite interesting. Has anyone bought this yet?

I haven't bought it but, if it sounds interesting and for $6, you can't really go wrong. :)

Barton: Have you read the Bible, Pete?
Pete: Holy Bible?
Barton: Yeah.
Pete: Yeah, I think so. Anyway, I've heard about it.

I have also bought it, don`t waste time thinking, just buy it, for the price it is certainly worth it, Keith.

You might want to get Maga Magic instead as it includes Skullcrusher and several other usseful routines/effects for only slightly more

Sorry, rushed typing, it should read 'Mega Magic' - from the same site, UYD. There's also Mega Magic 2 which is a further compilation of UYD single items.

Sorry just had to make sure. Is this site unleash your dreams or is it a copycat site? http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Unleash-Your-D ... 513&_pgn=1

I ask because they're selling dream signs which I thought was sold by someone else.

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

They do have an ebay presence as well but to be sure use http://www.unleashyourdreams.co.uk/Unle ... /Home.html and select from the main menu there.

Thanks Mandrake. I've just re read the blurb on this and somehow feel I'm getting stitched up! If this does as it says on the tin its worth a lot more than they are asking.

I confess I haven't read all the stuff in Mega Magic so can't say much about the individual items. It's clear that they are a collection of single items, the fonts, layouts and so on are a wee bit clumsy and cluttered but all very readable. For the difference in cost I reckoned it was worth a punt on the compilation instead of just Skullcrusher as a single download. There again, I'm a well-known tightwad :D !

The mega magic ebook is a better bargain. Skullcrusher is good but (to me) it has a hint of being a 'maths' type trick. Make three piles etc etc... An enthusiast could create a good presentation to put it over, I'm sure.

I have this tick, and it's quite good. Simon, who runs (I think) UTD is incredibly helpful, and a true gent, so I can highly recommend his service.

Skullcrusher, in my opinion, isn't a maths-based trick. The cutting of the cards into three piles is merely a preparation for the the main effect, and there is nothing more mathematical than being able to count to three.

A very simple but powerful trick, indeed. I recommend it.

I have this one and its fantastic to have in your armoury. This can be performed over the phone and is a magician fooler. (i tried it out on a couple of people)

Dont be fooled by the price on Simons products, people are forever telling the owner that his prices are way off!! :D

I would also recommend 'the underground' a simply perfect trick for table hopping or a one off effect!!

I bought Skullcrusher from Simon last week (ebay) but the Royal Mail lost the packet.

I contacted the seller, who turned out to be Simon, and he was a star. Within minutes he had emailed me a download link, and also threw in a couple of extra tricks - The Underground and Rapscallion.

His tricks are great, simple, and well-priced. I'm ordering more from him as I trust him 100%

OK, so all this praise is not specifically about Skullcrusher - apologies - but as I trust Simon, I trust his tricks to be great. Skullcrusher won't disappoint.

Dreamsigns

Postby UYD » Jan 31st, '11, 23:42

Hi there
Just a heads up for Jean, we have an ebay shop as well as the website and we are authorised sellers of Daniel B Love Dreamsigns, it was sold and still is by other websites but the author has an agreement with myself to sell this on Ebay and my website, if anyone feels they need to contact Daniel for verification, then PM me and ill forward your email to him, or if you already own this you can contact him directly.
Hope this clears up any confusion in the matter.
Regards
Simon
