KARL BRAVOSKY ON THE USE OF PK RINGS

Postby karl » Sep 13th, '07, 12:21



HAVE A LOOK HERE

http://bravosky.freehostia.com/

Hi, this subject I see has bein here for quite a whille.

I have see most answers about this, but actually, I have an interesting question here about this.

As a mentalist myself, I have to say that I have never used a PK ring
in my life.
There are some other subtilities witch will allowd you to preforme all sorts of differents effects, and at the end of it, show both hands totally empty.

Now I am on tour in morocco for six mont (royal comand preformer here)
and I can tell you that the most dificult and suspicious audiences you can get, are the arabic poeple.

GET MY WORD GOR IT.
About a month ago, I got cesaral ESP calculator, that comes together with a P........
I did preforme some effects for some friends here, actually just to practice with it, before preforming seriously for large audiences (rehearsing).
A couple of times, I had poeple examining my hands, and heard some comments about my ring.
they are so suspicious...that I got the message, and did go back to my old system, when needing PK effects.

I dont know if you know about my last publicity stunt, here, in witch I DID STOP WITH THE ONLY HELP OF MY MIND, THE BIG CLOCK OF THE BUILDING OF THE POST OFFICE OF RABAT.

(whant a video, send me your private emaill)

Why I tell you this?
Because before preforming this street stunt, we convoqued a press conference to announce publicly, what I was going to do in a couple of weeks time? (to get media attention)

And for a month everybody stop me in the streets, asking me questions about it, and logicly, I had to do in the streets as impromptus a lot ,key bending, forks bending (whille having lunch in restaurant) and a lot of WATCH STOPPING.

But, always WITH OUT A PK RING ON ME; If some of you will like to know, I dont mint to tell you , but you have to send a PM to me.

Getting back to the subject of witch size, witch type, ....of pk to get,
the best ones are the NEODYMIUM ONES.

Get one of those, and go, not to a Jeweller;
You can maKe it smaller by taking it to one of those special wokshops that
made special parts with this big machine that turns around at hight speed, (in frenc is call TOURNEUR, sory but dont know in inglish)
And if he do it carefully, you can hav it at the size you want
CAUTION;
NEODYMIUM magnets, are like diamonds.
very hards, but very fragile. The break easily.

LIKE TO HEAR YOUR COMENTS
Hope all this help someone
KARL

Firstly, Karl, thanks for taking time.

However, a NEO PK Ring cannot be resized. It cannot be lathed, or turned. It's way too brittle.

And also, the coating would need re-applying.

I don't quite think you're as knowledgeable on this subject as you need to be in order to comment.

Thanks for your time.

i saw a post on another forum, Either penguin or E!

Some kid had bought a PK ring and was saying it sucked because people assumed the ring was a gaff

Something like a ring needs to be put into context before using. I wore mine for weeks before showing someone a CIB trick. If a 12 year old boy starts wearing a ring and stopping watches of course suspicions are going to be raised.

Once im married i shall get a gold one and this will raise no suspicion what so ever.

In fact even i forget im wearing it and im suprised how difficult eating while wearing one can be.

I bougt a G2 ring and wear it on my opposite wedding finger, as Im not talking my wedding ring off.

I waited a few weeks before using it for most things. I used it for my Relic performance.. but that was because the first two stages didnt require the use of the PK ring so there was no heat on it when it came into play.

I'd imagine that a a 12 year old wearing what looks like a wedding ring is going to look odd. Even more so if the kid suddenly starts wearing it when performing for his family.

I use a Wizard PK ring (the only thing bad about it is that it causes an allergy on my finger if worn for a prolonged time) and never has a spec suspected a ring.
When I perform watch stopping I often use 2 specs - one whose watch I hold and the other stays on their wrist. I use PK ring for the one I am holding and the other is caused to stop using another well known pk device which is strapped somewhere on my body.
I tell the specs that I am creating a 'circle of energy' and as I do I move the hand with the watch intact into the m*****ic area.
It takes any heat off the ring becuase as it's a dual stopping and one is done without being near a ring, it will dispel that idea as soon as any spec may have it.

It is wrong to give out false advice on resizing PK rings, especially if you don't use them. That is, unless you're prepared to reimburse people who end up with destroyed rings due to some bogus advice.

Wizard sell the rings in different size and PK rings, accessories and DVD's explaining effects that can be performed with them can be found on their website: www.worldmagicshop.co.uk

Same here! I had an awful allergic reaction on my finger which took around 6 months to heal. Oooh-er. It put me off PK rings for a long time. However I have just acquired Relic (thanks again ID) and the whole watch stopping thing has re-entered my mind. I like Freddie's idea, and do you know what? I working tonight and Lord Freddie's 2 person watch stopping routine is going straight in there! I may well cause time itself to bend tonight, I'll be so magnetic!!

Good luck with it old bean. I also sometimes ask people to put their watches on a table (quite close together) and stop them all at once.
I also have once in each hand (wearing rings). I have managed ten watches at once.

THAT gets quite a reaction!

Ok, Ok...
First I will try to say few words to mr seige, witch I find quite interesting person, and with a large sense of knowlege (well spell ? sory)
Take my word for it, and try it.
NEO PK can be resized. YES.
I know because I had to do it myself here, to adapted to a specific size,
We have down it about 50 times, because that specific part (the NEO) was
a part that goes togethert as an accesory, with my letest creation, that has bein for sale for the last 8 month in the market.
So about this , Yes I can tell.
MR SEIGE is quite right in one point:
Extremely dificult to be turned, actualy, we end up first cutting them by hans in four pieces, and then, holding it by hand, very strongly, and with a help of a machine (stronly fixed at a table) we make it rounf form (hope you understand my bad inglish)

you say: "And also, the coating would need re-applying".

A PK, its suposed to be invisible, (like TP), so there is no need for re-coating.

NEO PK "RING" to, but you obviously has to first be dismount it from
the ring, and then do the rouding work by hand.
_________________________________________

You also say:
"I don't quite think you're as knowledgeable on this subject as you need to be in order to comment. "

I dont contest your opinion, and With all my respect, I have bein working with all those for about 20 years now, actually, i did sent 17 years ago as a christmas present to Mr Larry Becker (the master) one of my creations at the time (always working with watches); in witch PK was in use,
hope tis help
Karl
ps: Next reply will be to mr L.freddie

RESIZING PKs

Postby karl » Sep 13th, '07, 19:43

Hi
TO/ L.Freddie
You Say:
"It is wrong to give out false advice on resizing PK rings, especially if you don't use them. That is, unless you're prepared to reimburse people who end up with destroyed rings due to some bogus advice."

OF COURSE
Dont missunderstand me.
Probably I have bein mis understud, but I have never say here that resizing PKs was a thing to do unless.....

Unless is TOTALLY NECESSAIRY.
WHY ?

Morocco, its a nice country, but here you dont find NOTHING
I feel like if I was in the midle of a desert, under a palm , with nothing else around.
Everytime that i want to create a new item, I spend weeks walking around all over, every type of shops.....to build the prototype, and to get nothing.

And to import anything from abroad to here, you have to have imports licences, state permits, special bank accounts , hight $ to pay to costums, and many other type of inconveniences.....

So, the creativity then comes to my help....
and I can tell you , that it was not easy to cut those NEO
BUT I DID IT;
This ,is one of the reasons why when i have a dealer placing an order,
they all pay me via western union, and I give them free shipping to compensate for the expenses of sending tjhe cash.

CONCERNING stoping few watches at the same time...sure is great feature, but try (i guess you have) just to demonstrate that actually you can control SEPARATLY this energy circle of your,
to aske the spec. witch one of the watches he prefers, and after he answer, do stop that one leaving the other ones working, and strait, go on by stoping them alternatively, two at the time, jump to the left one , jump again to another one, and finaly with the help of that pk device which is strapped somewhere on your body.( i use two of those , L and R)
STOP THEN ALL THE WATCHES AT ONCE

When i do this, i make spect. participate, by asking him to hold on the table just infront of me a lighter asking him, to light the flame when he want, to give me "the order of MENTALLY LET GO"
AND THEN? WHEN HE Das SO, ALL THE WATCHES START WORKING AGAIN
hope this help.

Thanks Karl, I will be putting some of my watch stopping videos up on the net.
I understand you dilemma if you can't get them in your country. It's a shame that a magic dealer in Morocco doesn't import them as here you can order which size you need.


I am intruigued to see your videos. Have you put them on you tube or anywhere?

I have found my multiple watch stopping gets a great response. People believe there is a circle of 'energy' or aura around me which causes this.
I don't wear a watch myself and often tell people that I can't wear one as they stop dead.

It's fun, simple to perform and effective.

Hi
To clear this point
1) UNFORTUNATLY, there are NON DEALERS in This country.
I am the only one here doing what I do.
There are few magiciens here (?) of a very low....

I am the only manufacturer here, but i only make my own stuff, wich I sale abroad, for them to distribute around the world

Actually, there are no more then about 10 magiciens in the wholle (spelling ?) country(?) all strugling everytime they need material to work, and because of the very low income revenue here, they can't afford (spelling ?) to buy from me, and when you change a dollar into Dhs, its becomes a lot.
So they have to "pirate" and coppy from what they see in internet, and the result is very poor, because even to make it them self, the prime materials are very expensive if you want quality
Most of my products are going abroad.

Concerning my tube as you say (?) i guess you mean webb site, yes we are actually working on it this days, and we plan to put few videos, and other exiting things on it.
Today we are working in front page

http://bravosky.freehostia.com/

As i sad; this has bein made TODAY,
we need few more days.

If you send your private email, i will try to send you one about my last tv apearance on the 20h evening news, actually doing all sort of bending , etc... for the journalist

Thanks,

I thought magic was popular in places like Morocco. Is it frowned upon there as some kind of black art?
