I have noticed in the demo vids everyone is wearing loose clothing. Is that important or can one wear a more tailored/formal jacket?

So is this an opener? everyone is started with it ready to with pad in hand. That is not a real world demo if you ask me.
Kyle says can be done any time and resets fast. Really? So if it is on your back you can reset and be ready to do it at another time or are you saying as you put it on you can reset and be ready to perform it again but not really at a later time?
Also I notice open clothing. If wearing a buttoned vest that is form fitting, there wont be any concerns? I have a pretty good idea what is going on so could see it being an issue without open jacket or open shirt.

ALso on the back of the clothing, I assume it is a different handling and maybe more that could be exposed or is this all been covered. Can that version be done with tight angles?

I see many spectators handling the tag. Does the gimmick l$@k or could they see something if they try to bring it closer to them?

Yes I don't care for the writing on the pad as that was the first one that seemed to be odd but do like some of the suggestions in the thread. While the creator said no one told him they thought it was odd, who is to say they still felt it was and just did not say? People are nice. I read he Michel puts the pad down on the table. But not one demo this way so not sure why as that maybe seems less odd

Anyway, if one could answer my questions that would be great.

I've ordered Priceless and hereby offer a "logical disconnect" for anyone wanting to add a further layer of impossibility to an already baffling, beautiful (and funny) effect: Have the writing on the pad and on the tag be two different colors.

To accomplish this, you'll need to use a Chromatic pen (or any similar style that writes several colors). You'll also need to place a standard blank white sticker on the target area of the Priceless tag.

To illustrate, using a screen shot from Kyle's demo video, imagine the blank sticker where the price is written (see below).

Using different colors of ink on the pad and tag would make it impossible for a pesky, over-thinking spectator to backtrack. And for "normal" people, I think it adds an unconscious conviction that deepens the mystery. I first ran across this idea in the great Anthony Lindan / Dan Garrett effect called "Fortune and Fate," which came with a Chromatic pen that wrote blue and red.

Cheers,
Jerry

I had an idea similar to Jerry's where you insert the "wrong" color ink into a pen. So for example, you have a red (on the outside) pen that actually has black ink inside. Then you start the effect with something written in red on the notepad (which matches the outside of your pen) while the price on the tag appears in black. Voila, instant convincer!

I don't know how easy it is to create such a pen though. Maybe the pen that Jerry is referring to makes it easier!

Hey guys

Here is a full performance and review of Pricelss

Anyone think this is too similar to "Backdate" by T.A. Waters?
Waters even suggests the following presentation at the end of his explanation:

"A patter theme I've considered would have to do with having arrived late, you didn't have time to remove the dry-cleaning tag...!"

That's remarkably similar to the price tag still being on your jacket, wouldn't you say?
Have they credited T.A. Waters and perhaps Paul Vigil's variation?

(Also, I'm mentioning this with the knowledge that the handling does appear to be superior to Water's variation)
