The response for the tossed out book has been fantastic. You should see these showing up the dealers late this week or early next week. The testimonials heve been Great! Once the first run is gone I will be doing a 2nd run but with a different cover and different title. Think of the possibilities with both books (free choice but the same book). I would like the second book to have a mystery or horror type title. I have some titles in mind but am going to ask for your ideas. I do not want a long title maybe two to six words. If I select your title to use on the second run of the book you will get a FREE book when completed and your name will be listed on the credits page of the book. All you have to do is reply in this post with the best title you can come up with. I appreciate your ideas and suggestions.
The new book will not be released until the first run is sold out. You can still get a copy of the Tossed out book before it hits the dealers at http://www.tricitymagic.com There is still a special Café price. Click on the link at the bottom of the home page where it says Café members click here and the 2 passwords needed are lower case tcm Café Thanks for your support and I look forward to your ideas for the second book title.

I received my TOB and I like it. The book itself is nicely made and from what I've read doesn't appear to have any typos.
I haven't performed the effect yet but I see many possibilities. There are a few different ways to perform this effect. You don't HAVE to toss it out and have many people read a page. You can use it as a simple book test. There is a very simple way of knowing what word they pick by knowing the page number and there are 140 pages. The book is pretty much examinable (you cannot allow a spec to take the book home and read it under the night lite however) but it can stand scrutiny. It is definitely worth the price and a good addition to your "book test" library. You won't be disappointed. Oh, I just thought of this ... I also own Economicon that consists of two freely selected books. Now I can add TOB and provide a choice of three books for a FREE selection. John |

Great idea John and thanks John for the kind words. I do appreciate it. Once the first run is gone the second will have a different cover and different title. Everyone from the Café that purchases the first book will get a special rate on the second edition. I wanted the Café members to have a chance to have input on the title. Everyone is invited to join in. Also if you have some clipart or photos that you have designed and would like it considered for the cover that is also welcome. Again if your title or cover design is used you would be credited in the book and you will receive a free book.

I agree with johncesta on all points. I purchase a lot of effects, props, DVDs etc, and many of the items I purchase never get used. This TOB will, I say, WILL be used. I like the simplicity and the ability to allow the audience to handle the prop. I have some shows coming up where I intend to use this.....can't wait.
Steve, as far as a name for the second book, how about: "Lost Searchers", or "Dreams of Reality", or "Mystery of Mysteries", or "Saga of the Wandering Vent", or "Challenge of the Observers", or "Wild Dreams of the Uncharted", or "Gunfight at the Holdout Corale", or "The Gimmick Keeper", or "He Died with a Marked Deck", or "Last Dinner at the Magic Café", or "The Disappearance of Art Black", or ........I could go on, but I've got to get my act together for tomorrow. Thanks again Steve for a great product. Charlie |

Thanks for the input so far - some great titles there. Thanks Charlie for the review! What titles would catch your eye? Keep them coming. Since this book will be showing up next week at quite a few dealers the Café special ends this weekend. So if you want to get in on this better do it now. Thanks for your support!

Here are a couple:
1) Tossed Out 2) Toss Doubt |
Larry Davidson Inner circle Boynton Beach, FL 5270 Posts |
I'd love a title that would be an inside joke to mentalists and magicians (so would make the book fun to use) but meaningless to laymen (so would still be effective). Not that any of these are great, but off the top of my head:
The Banachek's in the Mail The Murder of Phil Goldstein by Max Mavin Al Baker by the Dozen Corinda's 13 Step Program The Cold Read Prism's Plummet Between Two Mines No Woman, Al Mann Hoy Vey Tossed and Turned Torn at the Center Docc's Bald Truth |

Awesome Larry I especially like these 2 - The Murder of Phil Goldstein
by Max Mavin and Al Baker by the Dozen. Wonder what Max would think? Thanks for the input. Steve
