There was an URL there, but right before the book went to press the web site went 404. I called the publisher and had him delete the URL. He must have missed the sentence referring to the URL before it. Anyway the other links work fine and all the information you need is there.

As far as the ethics, I do the psychic bit, I have no problem with it. I make lots of money doing it. However just because it is OK for me, doesn't mean it is OK for you.
I'm not trying to hide the fact I do psychic readings, I do. However, I am not suggesting you do them. Take it anyway you want to. Devin |

Aaaah.
And as far as the ethics, I wasn't refering to the ethics themselves in my review, but to the wording of the disclaimer. The way it was written. But yeah, as far as overal impression of the book so far, I love it! This is really really good stuff. |

Hello everyone,
I just had my first major cloudbusting experience. I work for NOKIA mobile phones, and my desk has a clear window to look outside. All day I spent practicing busting clouds. Well late in the afternoon I passed by the receptionist's desk, and she always wants me to show her some magic. I told her to come to the window. I told her that I had studied many years the ability to be able to control elements. I pointed to a cloud and told her that I would drain the moisture from the cloud and make it vanish. As I was concentrating and making the cloud vanish, I started to cry big time, and she was like "OH my God" I told her that I was sucking all the moisture from the cloud with my energy. Well the cloud vanished and I stopped sobbing! She gave me a hug, and said that was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Thanks Devin and Jerome ALEX
PRESET by Alex Alejandro & Dan Harlan now available for a special introductory price!

Keep those stories coming. Alex I really like the idea of crying as you say you are draining the moisture from the cloud. I think this has great potential. If we do a second volume this is one idea we will use with full credit to you.
I also like the idea of pulling apart a cotton ball in my voodoo theme. Once again if a second volume is released this would be included. I agree with Psy-Kosh that the vanishing a cloud over a cell phone could be expanded more. I think the current instructions will teach you the basics. Once you learn to bust clouds you will be able to do it over the phone. It may take a little longer. However I have thought of ways to make this super fast and surefire. If we do a second volume an entire section will be devoted to the phone bit. As mentioned the the other thread, Jerome and I constantly come up with new angles and ideas with clouds. The reason the book was delayed was that I kept adding in new material. Finally I had to call it quits or the book would still be on my computer. Since publishing the book, many additional ideas have occurred to me. Such as making the clouds vanish and then putting them back. Jerome has a new idea of ripping a hole in a storm cloud. We have more than enough material to do a second volume. However the second volume would build on the stuff in the first volume. Vol one teaches the basics. Vol 2 would expand the basics and give you more details and further presentation ideas. If I see good ideas posted in this thread, then we will consider using them in volume two with full credit. If we use your idea and volume two is published you will be given a free copy. Devin |

Cool. Anyways, extension to earlier idea with using a rag: Best perhaps to use wwhen doing it indoors or busting a cloud through the television...
Something like this: "hrm... there seems to be a smudge here, lemme clean that off.... still there... still there...." blink confused, theck the bottle of whatever window cleaner you used and "woah... check it out, this stuff is good. Cleaned right through to the cloud on the other side..." (if you're going for combo between shock and laugh...) Or, expanding on the cotton... don't bust... strain and try to "rip" a piece of cloud away "uh... uh... GOT IT!" "whew... that's tough, really tough, can't do it on my own anymore today after that... hey, wait... all these clouds were in the sky together, same overal blob of moisture, so by the law of sympathetic magic, they should be linked... So..." (if doing a second bust right aftet the first is appropriate at the time, this is a good lead in from the first bust into voodoo effect.) Alternately, if doing for a kid, have them the first time help you, holding your other hand, helping keeping you on the ground as you're pulling on the cloud... and let the kid keep the peice of cloud as a souveniear. Hey, I just now as I was typing this got another idea inspired by the post elsewhere with the kites. This would definately take practice and the right conditions, but anyone who has the book ought to be able to see exactly what I have in mind: Go "cloud fishing"... make a kite reel look like a fishing rod, maybe put a hook at the end of the kite, and "fish" for a cloud in the air, and then reel it in and take off the piece of cloud. Devin and Jerome: Your stuff is fantastic... reading it gives so many more ideas than just it directly even. Wheeeeeeee. |

Psy-Kosh,
Again, very nice thinking here. One thing I've been working with lately is transplanting clouds, i.e., one takes them out of the sky and infuses other objects with their essence . . . think Losander's Floating Table, etc. Over the weekend, I transplanted a cloud into a skull made from quartz and caused it to weep. Very strong stuff. Thank you for your thoughts! -Jerome.

Not to give TOO much away, but I'm developing a new routine, "Death of a Cloud", wherein a cloud busts in tandem with the performer stopping his pulse. Keep the ideas and reviews coming!!!

It's just good to have book 1 done and over with It was a labor of love, but a labor nonetheless.
A volume 2 would have to be by popular demand. We'll see what the common response is to the first book for now. So far, so good! -J.

TT2: "Death of a Cloud" sounds super creepy and powerful. Not particularly my open topped container of plant infusion, but...
Of course, I've mentioned I think to both you and Devin what I, in the long term, want to do with this material, so once I've gotten a hafway decent grasp on it, will, of course, be pestering you two. Wait, idea: I peeked ahead to the weather control stuff... For a bit of fun, prove just how powerful the "washing a car to make it rain" ritual can be. |
|||||||||
Jerome Finley V.I.P. SLC 3419 Posts |
Pester away, mate! That's what we're here for. I think your long term goals and ideas for cloud busting and presentations are elegant and magical, and I would love to help you develop a routine suited especially for you and your audiences.

Thanks. I know I'm nowhere near being able to actually perform such a thing, even if I had a methadology worked out. It's more something to steer for that helps me decide what sort of magic I need to learn next. (As I had mentioned, I'll need sooner or later for that an appropriate object piercing coin style effect (for a certain part of the story))
But yeah, that'll be a while. For now I'll just play around with working out easier/shorter things to do with this stuff. "You know the whole thing about it always raining after you wash your car? Well, I think mommy nature doesn't like me messing with the sky, and has been having a bit of a go at me by being _really really_ agressive in my case about that. Here, you'll see what I mean in a little while probably..." ooooh this material is going to be so so so much fun. muhahhahaha... |

I was playing around with some ideas today and this kinda hit me as something that might play well as a bizarre effect. I was thinking something along the lines of the storyline that Peter Loughran uses with the rain stone, only I was thinking about using a strange coin. Basically, instead of making it rain, use the coin to draw the energy out of a cloud. Bust the cloud, and then perform the Crying Quarter effect. I was thinking a fairly large coin so that you could really get a lot of water out of the coin. Once you've shown the coin around to everyone you place it in your palm up hand, hiding the modus operandi to make the coin "cry" once you have busted the cloud.
I know this isn't anything revolutionary or anything, just spitballing here to help keep the presentational ideas flowing. |
