This does sound like a bit of a neat trick .. where can i learn it?

Rob

The only book I have which has it spelled out (two versions, one with preparation and one impromptue) is Luke Jermay's Seven Deceptions.

Very good book i Don't like the effect though (those of you in know will know the potential problems with it!)

I guess there are different versions from the one I know then because I can't think of anything dangerous about the way I do it.
Hmmm...research time.

There is only one way to do it. I have never seen any other way to do it, and every person I have seen do it uses the same technique. (If you know how its done, you can tell when it is being done. Can be seen a mile away ) although, this does not include the handling for stopping someone elses pulse. That is alot scarier, and more importantly, safer.

You do need the right personality to present this. NOT for the average magician. There a small chapter on it in the Berglas book and David B could do it without any gimmicks causing one to stop as the other started!! But this is a Grand Master not The Great Bungo from Wherever.
The MOST COMPLETE description and routining of this unusual feat is to be found in Luke Jermay's book 7 Deceptions, published in 2002. It is still available at Magic Books By Post, £28. There are 53 pages, and the Pulse Stopping chapter, 'For Andruzzi' covers 11 pages. It is indeed most thorough

Was that the routine when David got a couple of nurses on stage to check the pulses?

Hehe, I remember this one. They were swinging their arms in time with his pulse... One of them said "You should be dead!".. Haha.

This is one of those odd one's where i know the method but have never seen it performed...

Could anyone please give any examples of patter/performance etc that they use or have seen used to good effect??
