I've never been called out on it once in performing this. In a 'proper' performance I'm building up a vivid story of the magickal nature of the stone, it's properties, the curses surrounding it and its owners etc. Any mundane physical properties the stones may or may not have is the last thing on anyone's mind. Even without that story, when I was simply presenting the effect briefly to friends nothing suspect about the stone has ever been mentioned.

Hi Guys
I have had an email problem this morning thanks to Virgin Media, digging the road up near me and while I have mail coming in there is no mail going out at present.
So to the guys that emailed me ill reply as soon as I can, to those that ordered this trick. I can confirm that all orders are either out in the post now or will be out in the second afternoons posting.
Just thought it would be polite to tell you so you know that I am not ignoring anyone...
Regards and thanks again guys
Simon

If I have guessed the method right, then you could weave some story about the black stone being the stone that is linked to your mind, and then as you paused at the person holding the stone, it moved in their hand. Is this possible, or have I got the wrong method?

That's a very nice and very achievable twist on the effect!

Correct! I used to get ten bob a week pocket money which meant if I saved two week's money I could buy three singles. Proper vinyl 45s as well :D !

I have to agree, and someone is going to get a big head but respect where it is due, Ive had conversations with Simon and he even helped me out with some PK business i needed sorting.
Ive never had service like it and if i may lose myself for a moment........

When i think of Simon in his workshop, it brings to mind a dark little underground lair that has a swinging light on the low ceiling and just a phone on the brick piller. When the spirit lamp got a great review on the forums the poor bloke was putting in all the hours Yoda sent!!!

I think im gonna have to do some overtime with all my recent purchases!!!

Simon, bag up another of your stone trick please mate...usual address!! :D

Arrived safe and sound this morning and trust me on this, you get far more than you'd expect with this item. Not just extra routines but extra..., no, I won't spoil it for you :wink: !
