Hi All,
IAIN sent me his version of the UK card he created. It is very authentic looking and he has very generously allowed me to share it with TAC owners. I have just finished sending emails to all those who own TAC. There were a handful of emails (about 9) that came back as "undeliverable." If you did not receive my email, please contact me at yachanin@roadrunner.com Regards, Steve

Hi Steve,
Downloaded the images. I like them. Want to thank both you and Iain for sharing this. But am tempted to use the blank blue back with something useful for the routine. Still thinking though.

Just so you know, the university is a real one, and was picked because they genuinely do tests/experiments with words (i think the latest one they did was to do with word frequency in June of this year)...

Or a sentence with words where some of the letters are jumbled up but the first and last letter are right and still spec can read it (can't remember what that is called) This may be helpful for some by play whenever needed. Any suggestions?

Hi IMAGINACIAN,
Since the Stroop Effect deals with attention, I wouldn't use that. If you can connect the volunteer's ability to read jumbled words with your persona's ability that is demonstrated in the TAC effect, then I might consider printing it on the card. If not, however, I would leave it as is. Overall, I think altering the card with information that differs significantly in content or form from the word list would make the card look less authentic. Does that make sense? Regards, Steve

I really like the sound of this , but may I ask about the printing ? To put this on cards do you need any special printer , paper or apps? Im about to replace my old printer.
I assume no one has made these up for sale.. UK version.. have they? |

Hi Roki,
I print the cards with my hp ink jet printer on heavy card stock and trim them on a paper cutter. Some laminate the cards as well (I do not). I am speaking about the cards in the Thought Association Card PDF file. Regards, Steve

I received this from Steve a few days ago.
And have read thru most of it.This is a wonderful effect.A lot of thinking has gone into this project. And some of the best in the business have added a lot of their takes on it also.I have also ordered the Word search detective too.I think this will really enhance the effect.I really love this a lot. Thanks Steve for giving such a wonderful effect to us. Todd |

Hi Todd,
Thank you for the kind words and I'm so glad that you are enjoying TAC. I have been very fortunate that so many creative individuals have developed new twists with TAC and have allowed me to share them. Regards, Steve

I just got home from a show, and told my wife I will be going to sleep right after I email a friend.
I was excited because I combined Steve Yachanin's Thought Association Card with Max Maven's Kirigami (which is on sale at Penguin). I basically performed Kirigami without a reveal, and when each of my two helpers had formed two different words, I used the TAC approach to think of two additional words. I like this, but it has some limitations due to the nature of Kirigami. However, if you have both of them, then I would give it a try. In my email to Steve, I let him know how I handed the TAC portion of the effect. If he wants to share it with you, then I have no problem with it. But, I am going to leave that up to him. Bobby

Hi All,
"Thank you," Bobby, for allowing me to share your idea of combining Kirigami and TAC. I think it gives a totally different look and feel to both effects... very creative thinking. I purposely wrote Bobby's handling of the TAC portion cryptically to avoid exposure, but in a way (hopefully) that will be understood by those who own both effects: For first Kirigami word: second... "fruit?" second... "state?" For second Kirigami word: second... "breakfast food?"... middle... "state?" I hope this makes sense. I think it's wonderful that people continue to come up with their own twists and modifications of TAC... it always brings a smile to my face Regards, Steve

I like that line, 'I don't know where this will lead but you may find it interesting.'
It can be a good opening for the sort of things we do - or try to! |
