Oh yes indeedy, I double checked the price - after I'd paid of course! IMHO this is vastly underpriced compared to the prices of items which do pretty much the same thing so I suggest you all take advantage of Simon's generousity before he reaslises what he's done :wink: !

Shush mandrake! I'm waiting for the start of the month.

Invoke not reason. In the end it is too small a deity.

What're your thoughts on the product itself Mandrake? Aside from value for money, which I think we've well established!

So far, you're the only other person I know of having this prop and I'm keen to hear your opinions.

In a word, sneaky and good. I know that's three words but what the heck! I can understand the queries about the differing sizes of stones but if it's a serious problem then a swift trip to a builders’ merchant or pond/aquarium fish stockist should provide a source of alternatives. B&Q/DIY type stores might also be another place to try, failing that, check the beach or local river/pond! In fact, as is mentioned in the extensive sheets of instructions and routines, there's no reason why any purchaser couldn't develop their own tailor made version using their favoutrite props.

The routine is good and took me a little by surprise at its simplicity, the later part where neither the spec nor the magish actually know the location of the two stones is brilliant and the method of silently ‘divining’ which stone is in which hand is superb, and one which I've never encountered or seen mentioned before. I haven’t looked at the later routines yet, I’m still playing with the basic version.

Quality of props is good, very good indeed and totally innocent but, there again, how ‘guilty’ can a bag of stones be!

Hi, once you have the routines and props, you can use most items if you wish, indeed I had to make a little clay resin voodoo doll for one customer and he used this.
If you want any advice and have purchased the trick, email me and ill help you to source or supply you with any other bits of rock etc.
If you haven't bought it and want any advice before hand, then please email anyway.
Regards
Simon

I received my stones today and couldnt wait to discover the secret.

As I opened the package and read through the instructions, I couldnt help giggling at how cheeky the method is. :D

Thats the second purchase ive made from UYD now and the second time ive truly felt like ive not only got a quality product, but at brilliant value!

The goods normally arrive no later than two days after you have made an order aswell.

Cheers Simon, you are running a fantastic business and i know that many others on here agree.

Got mine today - and I like it very much. As for others, it made me smile when I found out the secret - and lots of other ideas have come to mind. I'll probably add a couple more stones and use a slightly bigger bag (to allow big hands to rummage). I'm thinking of trying it with a selection of coins too.

Don't buy it though - there are enough of these things out there now I'm sure. (Only joking - it's as good as the blurb describes it. 9.5/10)

POSTSCRIPT
Played with this and I'm delighted. As a 'CUPS' sufferer it is a real delight to get something that is better than expected - and right up my street.
