Red handed is very very close to derren brown's invisible deal which is found on devils picture book.

Psychic Turtle and Illusioneer,
Thanks so much for the comments. I am glad that you are still enjoying the ebook. I could not be more pleased than to hear that you may have found some ideas that may serve you well. The Mac, Thanks so much for buying the ebook. I have been performing the "Red-Handed" method for ten years now and I can assure that this is not the same as the "invisible deal". I will concede that this idea certainly has it's roots in the "Truly Invisible" routine by Kenton Knepper (which is duly credited in the book). The "invisible deal" procedure was born in that routine, but "red-handed" does not use that technique. That method has been used by Kenton, Gene Urban and Derren Brown. The difference is obvious and also stated in the book. However, some of the methodoloy of "Avalon" is directly related to the procedure described by Kenton in his "Truly Invisible" routine and method. The performance and routine is radically different, but the underlying method is similar. I also feel that I have failed you (as an author and creator) if that is the only comment you felt worthy of publically stating. My apologies. If you feel dissatisfied, I will be glad to return your money (with the caveat that you agree to never perform or share the materials contained). PM me if that is the case. I sent a copy of this manuscript to Andy Nyman and to Derren (via Andy). I mentioned that their names had been mentioned and I asked them to reply if they objected to any comments contained. I honestly am striving for everyone to be satisfied with their purchase. The ideas are very workable and are easy to grasp with a bit of effort. I wish each of you the best and want people to feel that they have spent their money wisely. Sean |

Sean,
Like I said in the pm I have replied to that I think your work is brilliant and my post was just an observation. I publically apologise if it seemed like I was calling you out or something. I am over the moon with what you did with KENT! Thank you, MAC |

So Sean, when can we expect "Ode to Ekman" to be OUT NOW (rather than COMING SOON)?

Alex,
Thanks for the message and the answer is... it's still working. I am working with my designer to provide a "complete" package for those who buy this. I can say this much: 1. It will be limited edition (I know that puts off some folks, sorry)! 2. All of the images and artwork will be provided with the manuscript (In other words, the artwork/photos will come ready to print and use). 3. There will by an "additional" (and optional) item that will only be available to those who buy the manuscript. I am working with a supplier to offer this extra "something". One of the agreements will be; this cannot be openly discussed on the forum and it can only be purchased by someone who has the manuscript. This is by no means necessary, but it is a nice added feature. I am really excited about this, but that's all I can mention! This will be more than the cost of the routine, but this is very cool. Some other comments: This routine is not for the hobbyist. It is for a formal (read: stage) performance. It is perfectly "shaded" from all directions. It is fun and effective! That's all I can say for now. Sean |

Got it FAST after paypal was sent. I just read the whole thing. I will re-read a few times after the first read digests a bit.
I had an idea last year about a method, but no presentation for my method, as I was working it backwards to be more creative. I put this idea in my notebook for later examination.Sean completed this for me in this Ebook I love red-handed,Washington,PC principle the most! WOW, what a great value this Ebook was! Thanks again! Best- |

I finally got my hands on KENT, and now I have an understanding of that, Sean's take on it is simply wonderful... thought I'd just let it be known.
This material is stuff that you'll actually use. |

I can only echo the good things that have been said about Ponderings. It's excellent in every respect and several items from the book will be finding their way into my performing repertoire very soon.

Gentlemen, I offer you my thanks! I appreciate you sharing your successful experiences with "Ponderings".
An aside: Keep an eye out for the review of "Ponderings" in the upcoming issue of Online Visions (ezine). Shane (the editor) was kind enough to review the ebook and will post his thoughts and comments regarding the materials contained. (Once I sent him a copy of the ebook) Banachek kindly asked to include the "PC Principle" in his upcoming book,"Psychological Subtleties 3". I could not be more excited as Banachek's book was the inspiration for much of my interest in mentalism. It showed me what the real stuff was. From the first day I read that book, it changed everything for me. All of my thoughts were spawned from from the material in that book. I could not feel more honored. Thanks Banachek! With regards, Sean |

Many on here have said it better than I (as usual) but I did want to briefly add my own two cents and my full recommendation. The routines and the ideas that Sean has shared in this book are ones you WILL use. He has clearly thought a lot about everything he's decided to put into the book and has given us the cream of the crop. Ponderings is a tremendous value for any serious mentalist, especially those who like their mentalism with a healthy dose of psychology mixed in. If you are in any doubt, just stop reading right now and buy it. You won't be disappointed.

Sean, Happy New Years!
Glad to see your "Ponderings" so well received my friend. Clearly a bristling wit in this genre is being greatly recognized. Good show! And thanks always for guys like you and gableson assisting me with the mentalism basics earlier on. Much appreciated. And hey, how's that Crimp Change coming for you? - Mb

Thanks gentlemen! Your purchases and comments are appreciated.
Marion, it's good to hear from you. I love your routine (I'm still working on it). By the way, I appreciate you mentioning Café member, Gabelson (or his non-super-hero indentity, Gabe Abelson). Let me publically thank Gabe for his patience and direction (and great editing work) to help me complete this ebook. He is a brilliant thinker and writer; I am thankful for his help. The mistakes in the book are errors that were created AFTER his help. I received his editing help before my designer completed the type-setting and layout. In other words, all new errors were created after extensive changes and corrections were made. LIVE AND LEARN! I just wanted to say "thanks" to Gabe. This book was better because of his meticulous eye and help. Regards, Sean |

The essay about real methods and the like really does give one food for thought. I hope everyone is re-reading to take away the other nuggets of information Mr. Waters has slipped in.
Looking forward to future releases. |

I am proud to say that I am still using the material in this manuscript. I think it is rare these days that we use effects a month after purchasing them, but that is not the case with PONDERINGS. I am still tweaking other effects with his brilliant PC PRINCIPLE. Congrats to Sean for getting his idea published in Psychological Subtleties 3. I think this is a testament for how great his thinking is!

Congrats Sean!
I've been combining "Red Handed" with "K?NT" for wonderful results! Trying to work the wonderful "PC Principle" into a new effect of mine... |
