Imagine this...
From a blank deck of imaginary cards, your spectator simply thinks of any card. With little byplay, you remove a imaginary card from the deck and name their thought of card.

Imagine...
No sleight of hand, No gaffs, No stooges


thats what the ad says.... now has anyone bought it?


(this is actually aimed at Scott F. Guinn as his name is used as a testimony....hehe)

Jeff sent me a pre-release copy of this. I told Jeff not to market this yet, as I sent him some info on some credits to check out before mass-producing it. There's no doubt that it is a strong, commercial effect that is easy to do and will blow away the audience. My concern was that there may well be another marketed effect with virtually identical effect and method. I gave Jeff the name of the routine and its creator. After he checks that out, if Imagine is different enough from the other routine, I will happily recommend it.

I don't see where my name is used on his ad for this item, though...

it was on a thread on "mind and magic forum".... HERE

Hi Scott and everyone,
Thank you Scott for your kind words and concern about my effect "imagine". The effect Scott is speaking about is called "Blank Thought" by Richard Raven. I have tried to contact Richard to discuss these two effects but have not received a response back.

I have received additional information that there was a effect curculating in the underground back in the 70's that was simular to the descriptions of these 2 effects. The base effect of both of these effects possibly goes back decades.

I appologize to Scott for perhaps using the qoute he sent me prematurely, but I feel this is more likely independent invention with slightly different effect and presentation.

Thanks again,

Jeff Pierce
