A few of you have heard of the legendary Cold Touches. This was a book I was working on with Al Mann prior to his getting ill and his death. The book was never completed but I have the notes and many of the ideas that we developed. The concept was similar to Adam Grace's freezing effect but used a different method. In fact Adam and I exchanged notes prior to his release and we determined our release was different from his. Al's ideas went beyond just freezing things. In fact using the method you could do several amazing mental effects such as having your assistant leave the room, anyone selects a coin on the table, that you never touch. You leave the room and your assistant comes in and can correctly determine and tell the person which coin was selected.
You can blow on a dollar bill and cause it to freeze over by your blowing on it. There was even a technique that Al worked out that allowed a person to feel cool breezes coming from your fingers, the power that apparently caused the items to freeze over. The book was never completed as Al died before we could complete it. I have considered finishing the book giving he basic ideas and concepts for historical purposes. Ben Harris designed a nice cover for the book a few years ago, and Patrick Kuffs wrote the introduction. Patrick was familiar with the idea as Al Mann told Patrick about during one of his conversations. Maybe next year, I will compile the all the notes and release it. |

Mr.knight : I thought you stopped the project after speaking with adam
and at a certain point in time you posted here that the two of you could join force together to come out with ONE product also you posted that you stopped because you bruised your body badly off that freezing apparatus and you halted is now less dangerous ?? |

We didn't join forces, as you probably know Adam released his own version last year. The effect still has the potential to be dangerous. Hence it would only be released as the book that Al planned on releasing with of course disclaimers. I have since worked on ways to make it less dangerous. I got frost bite on my skin because I was careless.
My Blindfolded car can be dangerous but the book was full of disclaimers and warnings on where to do it and not to do it. Most people found the information fascinating. If I decide to release the notes that Al and I worked on together, it wold be more for educational and historical purposes. |
