I think there is an offer for people who bought the pdf to get the DVD cheaper. You could try Pm'ing Peter about this as I'm sure he'd be happy to point you in the right direction.

Can anybody please help me? I'm having terrible problems controlling my streetmagic- I can't walk down a street without turning into a pub.

haha... for some reason I was picture this guy as Paul Wilson.. not knowing he was a young up and comer. Well kudos Peter!

Ok I'll try to rephrase this without exposure.

Has anyone found it weird that a certain object is brought forth early in the trick, and then later on said object is reused? I think that is clear enough for those who have it and not clear enough for those who don't.

Now, it may be because I haven't performed it yet but that was something that initially turned my off from the trick. I suppose a sufficient time lapse would be the best way to accomplish this then.

If those who have this could check the details, above and let us know if it's too explicit then we'll edit things a bit to suit.

I think it needs editing. Gives the jist of the effect away because the spec... ahh I'm not going into the reason but it is pretty obvious, so yes, edit!!

OK if those who posted so far can check and edit a little it would be much appreciated. Peter Harrison hasn't commented on this but I expect he'd be able to advise if things are a little too explicit.

Yeah they are just a little. Also, if you have any worries about the handling of the effect then get in touch with me. Also about my age, I've been studying magic for 17 years. I may be an "up and comer" when it comes to releasing products but I know what I'm doing. Connected has been in action for 7.5 years now.

KingJ, I tried to explain in the PDF how the effect works but I must not have been clear enough because you have questions about things that were discussed in the PDF. Get in touch and I can help you out :)

Peter

I love this !!

I love it because it realies on one thing.. routining! I am excited by the fact the the setup is done in an entirely different effect. And the method is blinding.

I was shocked to find out that at no point do you touch the wallet, which pyscholigically adds a lot to the overall effect.

This is a lesson in routining at its best. Top marks from me, I cannot fault it in any way.

Excellent to hear that you enjoyed the product and thanks for the compliments! It was a risky decision to make my first DVD release feature an effect that relied on routine structure instead of sleights but I felt it would help the community of younger magicians as well. Some of the best magic can be achieved simply by THINKING about how the magic happens rather than being super fast or using new sleights. It's been great getting emails from magicians who have been in magic for a few months and thanking me for showing them how routining can aid an effect... Big boost for me!

So yeah, it was risky using Connected as a first widely available release but I don't regret it at all.

Again, thanks for the kind words ID!

Take it easy,

P.H.
