uhh. Good luck with that. That is not the point of this forum.

In fact, with posts such as these, don't be suprised to find your posts in the sin bin if you're asking others to just tell you how to do the techniques.

I need to find out how its done, it sounds amazing, and i live in norway, so im not spending that much money on shipping and stuff.

I hate to break it to you, but learning anything means you must INVEST into your self.

The method is exceptionally simple and the effect just short of miraculous and regardless of what additional costs you may encounter when it comes to shipping, I can assure you that it will be worth it.

I have no doubt that some low life out there (such as you would find hanging out at the Magic Cafe) has already created an illegal copy of this material should you be willing to sell your soul for such a thing. But most magic forums (especially this one) do not exist for the sake of making it easy for just anyone to find out our secrets.

Personally I think Wayne should be asking $100.00 for this bit just so it stays out of the hands of the "lookilus" that just want to know the method vs. learning magic.

I got the download, received it instantly, and hense, paid nothing for shipping. Go and buy it.

No actually don't, the method is probably too simple for you to take, especially after having spent 'oh so much money' on it. Yeah this one is not for you.


...I don't know why I'm replying. He isn't coming back...

If money is a factor, then why not buy it used on ebay?

hi all
im very new to all this. have recently bought some great self working tricks like coin unique that i think are great but would like to start getting in to stuff that requires a little more skill
Have been thinking about buying stigmata and was just wondering how difficult the sleights are that people have talked about. I would be starting from scratch so do people think i would be able to pick it up easily enough or should i start somewhere else.
Also any advice and good books/dvds that people have bought and think would come in handy would be appreciated.
thanks

Hey cybron, please post in the 'Introductions' topic a bit about you and then people can find out what you should gert from that.

ok
thanks

Plus, the "sleight" involved is not very hard

Hi Cyberon

If I could advise on selecting tricks such as these effects. They are all well and good but if you're looking to move up a nothch then buying a book or DVD that has a number of tricks as well as teaching the sleights needed to perform them may work out to be much better value for money.

Whilst Stigmata and a few others look good, they don;t suit everyone and to get the best results from them they often need to be performed with other material so that what you;re infact doing in your routine is building and building from one trick to the next.

I always think that these tricks work best with this type of approach but choose carefully as they can just as easily ruin a routine.

I agree wholehartedly with what Dat has just said. I would definately take into account what he stated - and good luck to you!

Not sure if this is appropiate but does the spectator's chosen card or the number he/she is thinking of have to be revealed to the magician in any way before the marks appear on the arm?

none have to be revealed to the magician.

Hello Everyone

I am sort of interested in this trick, and I was wondering if any one could tell me which would be better to buy. I have seen the Stigmata Dvd that
Wayne Houchin teaches and a dvd called Banachek's PSI which has a version of stigmata with other tricks on it. I am hoping someone has seen both and suggest which explain the trick better.

Thanks

P.S.-- I am leaning towards the Banachek's PSI versoin, since it has more than one trick on it.....

I haven't seen Banachek's PSI dvd, but I would probably go with it instead of Stigmata just because you get more than one trick.

I have not seen Wayne's Stigmata, but I have seen Banachek's Psi series.

The Banachek Psi series teaches quite alot of different mentalist effects, but as far as stigmata goes, he only teaches it for the 7 of whatever.

The Wayne Houchin DVD teaches the effect for any card, as well as names and the such, so I would think that you get more than the basic technique.

So I would say if you want this effect in particular, the Wayne Houchin DVD is the way to go. If you want the extra effects, and are willing to go less in-depth on Stigmata, then Banachek is highly reccomended.
