Looks like it got mixed reviews on Penguin.
http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/11744 Ad copy: Miracle Method by John Carey is a unique take on the prediction plot that would leave Nostradamus quaking in his boots. Even though there is only ONE prediction (which remains in full view at all times), it will hit every single time thanks to this beautifully structured system. There is no equivoque and no pateo forces either, just a solid and well thought out process that invisibly guides your spectators to make the predicted decision in real time. Every time. The best part about this system is that it can use ANY eight items. There are no limitations beyond the basics. (i.e. They just need to fit in your cup, or any other container you can carry.) If you emptied your pockets right now, or grabbed 8 items off your desk, or even the coffee shop's counter, you could perform this effect with ease. This makes it a perfect impromptu routine, using just items you can find around you! While John chooses to perform this close up, you could also bring this to the biggest of stages by using large items and a large box instead of small items and a coffee mug. While we've seen plenty of prediction effects in the past; they usually involve secret writing, or switches. John has turned the method on it's head so that you can be completely HANDS OFF throughout. The Miracle Method by John Carey is exactly as the name suggests, and we're sure you're going to love performing it! Download it now and test it out on your friends - It'll blow their collective socks off! |

Meh. The so-called "miracle" is anything but, I'd say.
Imagine this: you have eight objects in front of you, and you ask the spectator to pick one. They pick, say, the coin. You unfold a prediction that says "You will pick the coin." Your spectator will say, "Hm. Good guess. Now do it again." And you can't, thus confirming the spectator's hunch. |

Hmm. That's a bit unfair Ross - just do something similar? Should never be repeating anyway.
That said, this is not for me, although I like the effect on which the principle is based. So, while I don't think I will use this exactly, if I did, I'd be thinking about picking objects that, by step 4, (with reference to some of the ones John uses, and I hope this doesn't break rules) will have a high chance of success. Those that stump up the moolah will understand that, hopefully. |

I don't like this as much as Docc Hilford's Evoque, but it's pretty decent for a prediction of random items on the table.
I do like the "theatre" of the some of the stages with the coffee cup, and I may incorporate some of that. All in all, I'm happy with this purchase. Oscar |

Since there no actual full performance shown, it's hard to tell if anything new has been added to this. Anything new here that would make this worth a closer look?

Does anyone do Spectator's choice by Steven Daniels? Is this similar to that?

You can take ANY number of objects and keep going in different ways until the one you want is picked. This was a step backward if I have anything to say about it.

In Spectator's Choice spectators eliminate objects down to one last one, without using equivoke, and that is what is predicted. In the advert for Miracle Method, you mention ' "a series of choices". Is it a series of eliminations? |

This one I am not thrilled with. Love Carey’s card work and other released items. This one, no bueno.
