Don't give up hope, RETRO GRAVITY is stilled planned for release, maybe in the Fall. I've had a lot of releases on the market since the levitation was announced. I've had my reasons for holding it back and not releasing it, but it will come out in time.
CloudBusting is coming out by summer, you can bet your dollar on it. Jerome has had his work since 1999-2000. He is updating it and I'm adding in my stuff. Devin |

Nonono! I WILL BE the first customer!!!! Heck, tell me where to preorder - take my moolah please! You and Jerome sound like you got a winner on your hands! This is great for elemental mentalism effects - i.e. air, wind, fire & earth -> which makes up clouds anyway.... mental bizarre magic awaits... WATCH THE SKIES!!!!

Sorry, NO PRESALES, we aren't going that route. Jerome and I will work on this as quickly as we can to finish it up. I have several other projects going right now including the newly released PAINT CAN SURPRISE. Also everyone is waiting on the next installment in Psychic Sight Series: FORESIGHT. Luckily Jerome has most of this already written up (the cloud secrets)I've only got to add in my ideas and expand then it will hit the printers.
Although I have hinted that in the past I would release my work on the clouds I haven't had time with performing and other releases to get it all down. Much to my amazement Jerome had come up with basically the same methods and identical scripting. We were amazed as we exchanged notes how much we thought alike on the subject. I feel I have truly met my match on Cloud Busting when it comes to Jerome Finley. He knows as much as I do and probably more as he has experimented with some field I hadn't even thought of. Hopefully in all humility this will become a classic work and probably the only work on the subject. I seriously doubt that there would be much left for anyone else to write on the subject as we are covering all known techniques, including trickery, scientific, dual reality, and for completeness Occult Methods as taught by the Yoga Masters (whether you believe that part or not isn't important, the techniques make for good theater if using our trick methods. Should be the most complete reference book on the subject and offshots of it. Jerome has some ideas using the same techniques where you can cause flowing water to slow down, bend and even change directions. The techniques he uses for this are some of the ones he will teach with the clouds. Not sure if the work on water will be included or a separate release of his in the future. Devin |

This sounds absolutely fantastic! I hope you are kidding about selling this so cheap though.

I think I'll probaly die when invisible force comes out. I really look forward to it and the cloudbusting book. I'll try not to think of it too much because might turn into Dr. Spektor saying, "take my moolah please!"

I agree with Richie Dagger the price is a little low. Or maybe you should try to monitor who buys it. I just don't want another infamous youtube magic trick, like criss angel's Levitation. If kids are willing to videotape themselves levitating with a levitation that costs them over $100 then there is no tellin what they will do with the knowledge gained from a $25 to a $45 book that shows you how to mkae clouds vanish. Magic shouldn't be something you can watch whenever you want. It should be a miracle. It's almost like levitating is no longer a miracle.

I am ready.
If you are not doing pre-orders perhaps you could allow people to send you their e-mail addresses so they can be ordered immediately upon notification. This is the kind of thing I want to see while the ink is still wet...wonderful! |

When Magicians come into the shop, I encourage them to buy books. I have hundreds of Magic books, I collect them as well as read them. However, that being said. 99% reject my opinion and go for a DVD. Why? Because they can't learn from a book so they say. Though most of you will say you love books, I bet only a small percentage of the almost 30,000 members we have on this forum actually read, and I mean ACTUALLY read. Not just flick through and get a couple ideas, I mean sit, learn and rehearse the routine as it was created. The price is about right I would say, though Devin can obviously set it at what he likes |

They are considering putting a DVD with the manuscript, which is where the concerns come from. I don't want to see this turn into "The Cloud Trick." I'd rather pay a higher price myself.

The DVD if included WILL not teach the methods. It would be a performance DVD. You will have to read the book to learn the secrets. You will need a good understanding of the WHY to pull this off properly. We don't feel that a DVD will show this properly, this is material that needs to be studied via a book. You need to learn a script. A DVD isn't the best way to learn a script or patter. Once again this is best shown on the printed page. I know most people don't want to read books, so our secrets are quite safe.

Having read Jerome's posts here and elsewhere, and seeing other material Devin has to offer, I think what is being produced here will be a work of absolute wonder. The feat in itself sounds (and that's all I can say, unfortunately not yet having witnessed the miracle myself) incredible. Being written by two such experienced and seasoned performers, I'm sure that the work will be something worth waiting for.
Eagerly awaiting the arrival of this manuscript, Harry.
