Yes, I'm teaching how to construct the box yourself in less than 30 minutes. My way of constructing the box is in no way revolutionary but its simple and it fits the routine well. The main selling point of this PDF is the routine as I feel that is it a different approach and style to normal Question and Answer routines and it justifies the box. I also include ways of hiding the information which has never been published before and a method of being able to perform the whole routine blindfolded without an assistant.


Oops! You just lost a ton of sales because of the line I highlighted.

Have you ever seen how many books and articles exist on the Q&A, many of which have been written by 20+ year veterans who've experimented and worked with a wide variety of systems out there?

How long have you actually been vested in Mentalism and the study of the Q&A? How much background do you actually have when it comes to this arena, that can validate your claim?

I'm not saying that you don't have an "original, never before published" method, you MAY have. . . I'm not holding my breath however, simply because there is so much material out there on this single act, than most any other aspect of Mentalism and thus, chances of having true originality are close to nil. But aside from that, you just used a line that has been so over used when it comes to selling Magic that it's an instant warning sign to most, that something isn't what it claims.

I'm seeing a lot of back & forth in your posts; trying to cover your basis from either side of things by saying it's nothing new and yet, it's "original" and never before published.

Off the top of my head there are roughly a dozen different OM Box systems on the market with the Chameleon Chest leading the pack when it comes to current popularity alongside the Hilford system which is a bit tougher to find. Where such items have a place in certain performance settings, I find them impractical for the most part and quite outmoded.

Sure, curiosity has me wondering, but not enough to fork out the asked for sum. I'm simply not seeing a "value" set into it; an incentive to buy it. This is what you spiel is missing; being able to show why it is so much better and more novel than all the rest.

I apologies, maybe that statement was a little bold but from what I have read and seen I have never seen this method used.

Potential there for a touch more research perhaps?

True, I have been researching Q and A's for a year or so now which is the reason I said that I have invented the ideas as I haven't seen them before. This is probably completely wrong as there are thousands of books and magazine I haven't looked at (Thanks to Craig for pointing this out).

Just send it to John Riggs and ask him. He's a busy man, but you'll get an answer sooner or later.

Thank you.

I did away with using a collection box and just use a glass bowl instead, I felt that it looked more 'honest' where it actually made the method that I use easier.

It's certainly worth reseaching and perhaps giving a few people who in the know a copy of your pdf for feedback.

Boxes and containers of all sorts, together with just about every other method of Q&A, including modern jazz approaches were covered extensively in my recent Q&A workshops. A few copies of the 12 DVD set and the workbook are still available.

Good thoughts,

Aside from John Jerome Finley is seen as one of the top "authorities" on the Q&A and most of what he encourages falls in line with what I said earlier; no need for silly slips of paper if you're an accomplished & confident Reader.

I should point out that Jerome does one and two hour performances that are nothing but Q&A using his methods.
