Prime cut on E has a version over the phone. It seems pretty cool. And the other versions seem cool as well. Here's the URl:

The demo video put me off a little bit...a bit too long and complicated for radio IMO.

Banachek's 'Radio Magic' - a three CD set covers the subject. There's also 'Mental Yarn', which would need a little extra work, but is possible.

If it's a phone-in, how about asking half a dozen mates (trustworthy ones) to try and ring in. If one gets through...you're sorted, aren't you?

:wink:

The Marc Paul chart (at least, the one with his DVD) has two signs missing. The only time I ever tried it, the person was one of the two missing ones. I should have checked it first, right?

:roll:

The Banachack Radio tape, Psychological Subtleties, PERSON TO PERSON by Lewis Jones, and RADIO FOR PSYCHICS by Michael Spremulli

Understand, working Radio DEMANDS that YOU be an effective communicator and effective in getting the DJ of the show to get involved in describing things. Bear in mind, the first airplane vanished by Copperfield didn't even exist, it was all a script and some acting by a group of Radio Jocks. :wink:

PHONE by bob kohler magic, can be done ...well over the phone, but the spec has to have a deck of cards and they have to be able to riffle shuffle, the effect is they think of a card and you tell them what it is (after they have done a bit of shuffling and cutting - takes a couple of minutes)
