I know you answered this already but I couldn't find it. Once the book is released how will we be able to order it?
Also, would it be possible to do "stuff" with fog,being that fog is clouds(like bust fog or create fog)? Thanks |

Murphy's will be distributing the book. Please contact Devin for more info. I would recommend getting a copy from him to assure that you get one, if interested. I'm not sure where the books will be sold or distributed. All the copies I will have available are spoken for.
Using these techniques, and with some practice and application, you will be able to use the methods to work with fog. Calling the fog, causing it to disperse, etc. This is not a topic we discussed here, but it is discussed at length in my next book, "The Sumerian Mosaic" with Paolo Cavalli. I cover how to do such things as the above, causing beings and visions to appear in the fog, animating shadows, reversing waterfalls, etc, etc. Here ends my shameless plug Best, Jerome.

Jerome, just to clear things up, I did not mean to bash anyone. Just didn't want it to be seen on Mindfreak. And that's great that Luke is no longer with them!
I respect Luke aswell. I didn't mean for my comment to be about him as a performer. And oh boy, another book. YOUR GOING TO MAKE US POOR! ...But happy. -Vinnie |

Reversing waterfalls!!!! Holy #%@&!
Jerome, please go to some remote and secluded cave for the next month or two so you can devote yourself solely to writing your next book "The Sumerian Mosaic" so that I may have it in my greedy little hands as soon as superhumanly possible (oh, but make sure you have internet connection so that you can keep beguiling us with these delicious morsels of info!). I even feel a mini tang of disappointment that "Cloudbusting: The Best Dang Book To Be Released To The Magic Community In Years" will be distributed through Murphy's. I was hoping to keep it all to myself, while reluctantly allowing a few devoted and enthused other Café members to briefly glimpse a copy. Sure, I understand the financial need to have the book sell well, but that's not the point. Nobody but me (and, reluctantly, my fellow dear Café members) should have this book! (Insert evil laugh here.) And if this were to make it onto youtube, google video, ellusionist, penguin forums or the like ... AAAAHHHH! It would be the death of cloudbusting. Seriously, it would eventually kill it. (I will send my evil minnions and hell-hounds to deal with any such transgressors -- Insert evil laugh here.) But seriously, guys, let's keep these truly precious secrets underground. Let's study them, practice them and master them, and then perform miracles for our spectators. Self-interest is possibly the most powerful motivating force. Well, it's in our own self-interests to keep these methods secret. Jerome and Devin, why not do what some other publishers have done (e.g. Bill Palmer and Borodin on their "Cezanne Code" project) and have all purchasers of this book sign an agreement of secrecy etc etc? Worth a try? Cheers, Jason |

This is the major reason why I put this into a book and not a DVD or ebook. The best way to keep a secret is to publish it. Jerome and I both know that the majority of people who buy this book (like most books will say, look at all that information)they will wind up putting it on a shelf and say someday I will read this and master the techniques.
Don't worry our secrets are safe. Too many magicians have gotten lazy, if they have to read it, it is too much trouble. If they can't see it on a DVD so they don't have to think about it, then it's too much trouble. Unless you are willing to take the time to read the book from cover to cover, you will NOT understand the technique. Like I said our secrets are safe. |

Yayyy for readers!!! I actually prefer reading material because it's easier for me to imagine in my mind how I might actually apply what I'm reading, rather than just physically mimicking something I see on a video.

I hope this is a secret long kept between the book and the reader. This is going to be great. I'm probably going to spend weeks practicing and then some for my own amusement.

Right!
When I began studying magic seriously, they were no dvds, even vhs were rare... Through books we learned to visualize how to apply an idea, and that's what I love!! ^^ |

Fortunately, that's only one of two videos. And the other is terrible quality. One of the comments on this one was even , "Ok you have the power to stand there as a cloud disipates. Whats you power I saw nothing but a load of crap."
Maybe we could kindly ask him to remove the video..? But, although it does have 800 views, I doubt it'll spread much, and people will probably eventually lose interest watching a 3 minute video of a cloud. |

While it was possible to see a "face," it would have been MUCH more convincing had the Shadow Shaman told the viewer he would make a face appear in the cloud before it finally vanished.

When we did it was a cloudy day and the cloud that I PICKED was probably 6 times the size of that thing. First Jerome says lets bust a hole in the middle of it. Which happened in about 4 mins. Then this huge clowed vanishes. The other 10 clouds surrounding the one THAT I PICKED were still sitting there. It left a giant hole in the surrounding clouds. |

If the words are difficult, it's a good way for me to learn more English words and improve my English! I agree many of the above comments that we have to keep the secret of our art. And now I can see why there's no post on E forum talking about this project. Books are better than videos/ebooks because people cannot just send the file to others. Jerome and Devin, Thanks for your effort in releasing these effects and at the same time tring your best to keep the secret. -Houston

The first thing we wanted to do was to make sure NO e-files would be available to share with others. That is why we are going with the book format. In all honesty this is COSTING far more than it would to make an e-file or DVD. That is why so few books are coming out. This is almost a labor of love, because as I look at the printing costs and designing costs, I am barely going to break even.

Thanks for your honest response, Chi. I'd like to think that my cloud busting looks a hell of a lot better than what we see in that video
It's actually not that it is a bad video, but this guy has no idea about the techniques and methods that are available to serious and professional cloud busters. Also, I do not find it impressive to bust one small cloud, as the video showed. Like Chi shared, I go for the big ones and I do them rather quickly. In my demonstration, the performer will turn red and begin to "glow" with energy. Your temperature will rise (measurable) and the results take place within YOU as they happen in the sky. This makes my work very unique. Nobody "beat us" in anything that has to do with clouds or cloud busting. I can promise you that! Peace, Jerome.
