The FOGEL item I referred to above is called--
JUST CALL YOUR NUMBER.
He used it with telephone numbers.
No 'going out of the room'
No 'turning your back'
Just a straight forward reveal with the peek done in front of them.

Performed thousands of times by Fogel-it is more than well tested.

It was first published in a separate manuscript of 12 pages with illustrations,plus another Fogel item, by the Supreme Magic Co.
TITLE: 'Million Dollar Pieces Of Cardboard'.

The 2nd item was 'Fogel In The Pentagon' a one ahead duplication of objects but written down as words.

It is also in my old friend Chris Woodward's (with Richard Mark) book on Fogel--his father in law--'In Search Of The Sensational'.
Chris and I were teenage members of the Staffs. Magic Society.

WOULD BE well worth your while searching out a copy of the Supreme manuscript.

hi all, thanks for the tips. It was actually corindas 3 little
questions that i was using and i was trying post it notes
as they come across quite impromptu. The idea being to read one of the post its to get one ahead. I have a few ideas to make it easier on myself but for now i might just forego the postits.

Thanks for all the quick responses,

sea.

I can suggest that you take a look at Luke Jermays emotional intelligence DVD.He includes a very clean , bold handling that will solve all your problems. ( which are caused by magicians guilt by the way)

you're like Yoda.you dont say much, but what you do say is worth listening to....

A shame, it looks like I've had to do a little pruning of posts here again.

Craig, please stop the bickering, there's no points to be had for who gave the best answer.

First of all, I wasn't "bickering" but pointing out that I was addressing the original question vs. lots of added perspective that had little to nothing to do with the issue of reading a billet made of a Post It.

Secondly, I see that my "correction" to that fact has been removed. . . just love politics. :roll:

That's totally unwarranted Craig, there are no politics here and to suggest so is unacceptable. You know the situation and how we have to keep things sweet. Also personal remarks simply aren't on, by all means have a valid and contrary view but please don't make it personal OK?

Yet another thread locked .......
