Alex, I look forward to hearing your thoughts. If there is anything I can do to help you better understand anything, please do not hesitate to get in touch! I realise at first read there is a hell of a lot to get your head round, but the methodology becomes very simple when put into practice.
Warmest Regards, Stephen

Hey guys,
I want to express my thoughts on this ebook that I purchased recently. I wasnt sure whether to purchase or not, but really everything that I have purchased by Michael has been great, plus bring in the creative talents of Stephen, plus my favorite plot, Think-A-Card, and well I took the plunge. Once Removed is a collaboration betweeen Michael Murray and Stephen Shaw. You receive an ebook immediately after ordering, and it is a 16 page pdf. I first read it, and thought there was a lot of info to sink in. But I started to go through it again, and I realized the method employed here is genious, and something that will fly by magicians and laymen alike. I prefer Stephens handling on the pdf, since you get two ways to do the effect, one by Michael, and one by Stephen. I have also added a few ruses to the effect which I will write up and send to Stephen. For those that like, please send me a PM with proof of purchase and I will share, with Stephens permission of course. I plan to add this immediately to my repertoire, and something I can see myself doing lots. Think a card plot has just gotten better, and there are numerous handlings in the ebook that allow you to do this in the hands, or hands off, and nail the card the spectator is thinking of. This was a great purchase, and I highly recommend it. Will get your creative juices flowing. Thanks Alex

Some folks had made some of their comments known over on the Latest and Greatest section.
Whilst I appreciate you'll want to hear from purchasers or reviewers, if you have any questions then I'd be more than happy to answer them. For those still patiently waiting, I'm hoping to get a demonstration video filmed tonight, where ill be using Once Removed as part of a competition piece. Warmest regards, Stephen

I look forward to the video!
Let us know when your ruses are for consumption Alex, would be nice to hear about them. I think seeing a video of this will help those on the fence decide if it is for them or not. There are no sneaky surprises, it does play as it sounds and it appears to be pretty real when you perform it. I'll be playing with this for the next while. There isn't a lot of fiddly method, once you have it under control, the deck is sitting there waiting. As a standalone release, this is strong and thoroughly explained.

Hi Folks,
I think those who have read the work already will appreciate that I am a real stickler for detail. The chap who was videoing my performance made such a hash of things that I had very little footage to work with. I do not want to release a video that masks anything, rather a full performance, uncut from start to finish. On top of everything, I have had a major change in my personal life over the last two weeks which has meant I have had very little time to devote to my magic. Please do not read these as excuses, I understand the need for a video, and am striving to have one brought together as soon as is possible. At this point, I will promise that a publicly viewable performance video will be available within the week. I had originally visited the Café to post this, and hope it might be of interest to a few of you. After several people drew comparisons between Once Removed and the work of the great Richard Osterlind, I decided to send a copy for his perusal. Richard was instrumental in me having become interested in mentalism so many years ago, and it was a great honour to hear him speak about my work. I'm still quite in awe that someone who's work I respected so highly would take the time to comment on something I had created. I think it is a testament to our industry that the "big boys" are still so readily accessible, and willing to help newcomers. Anyway, Richard gave me his full permission to share this quote. My sincerest thanks again to Richard for taking the time to read my work, and provide me with his thoughts. "After being in this business for so many years, I can pretty much tell when I see something that is just a pipe dream or when it has been well thought out, over a long period of time and actually used. Once Removed is the latter. The manuscript clearly shows a lot of work and love has gone into this effect. Once Removed is a very clever way of learning a thought of card. Stephen Shaw and Michael Murray have compiled their ideas on the process giving the reader a number of options in how to perform this effect. My favorite is the very last one in the book. The nucleus of Once Removed comes from the original Paul Fox Miracle Gimmick, but the effect is quite different. A person simply looks through the deck to spot a thought-of card, then its mate, and you know the cards! There is a bit of questioning, but even here Steve and Mike have made it all make sense so that it’s not apparent. I like the book because it gives you so many options. This concept will require a bit of work on your part to understand, but it is well worth learning. If you are into clever new ideas, get this." Richard Osterlind May, 2013
