This looks, and sounds, absolutely fantastic!

I bought the DVD yesterday, and I am wetting my pants in excitement! :D Can't wait!

Sadly we don't provide tissues for that... but perhaps you will already have some lying around your home :)

All I can say is, "Wow".

This DVD is absolutely top-notch, and I'm just itching to try it out once I put in the neccessary practice.

Thankyou Peter for such a refreshing effect in magic!

P.S
Got the pampers. Still "Itching" to try out Connected though :wink:

Lol, as long as you got your pampers.. Good stuff! Glad you enjoyed the DVD, nobody is as excited about performing it as I am though... I still love it as much as I always have. Also glad to hear you found the DVD to be "top-notch"... Things will only get better from the BBM guys.

Thanks for the kind words Mr Ben :)

Take it easy,

P.H.

Been thinking about getting this for a while and the positive comments on this thread are swaying me.
Have any of you used it in performance yet? What reactions did you get and how diddicult was it to accomplish?

I've performed it 'real-world' only the once, and quite frankly I was caught out straight away in the setup to the effect—which ruined the whole thing.

The effect is relatively circumstantial, and relies on two factors... one of which is that you perform on a male, and the other is that your 'precursor' effect sets up the Connected effect.

The other thing which just doesn't sit well for me personally is that I believe there should be a big gap between the 'precursor' and the 'Connected' effects... but sometimes, this just isn't possible.

I would love for my performance of this to have worked, I really would. But it didn't, and it really did leave me with a sour taste for it.

This is just an opinion, I know that this works, and I know that in a regular performance, it's great. I just wouldn't like to 'count' on it, and I'd say that because it's sooooo easy to set up etc., use it as a circumstantial trick, not a 'must-do'.

Thanks matey, I think you have confirmed my doubts. It's always more interesting to hear real world opinions rather than the ones of people who have watched the DVD, tried it out on their mum who said "Very good dear!" and they've raved about it being the best thing ever.
There are elements that seemed impractical and it seems the prior handling or production of the important item will make people look at that moment for a solution.

The effect is brilliant, and am in teh process of learning it, as I think it will pay dividends, however on a lighter not-how annoying is the backround music???! :roll:
