Stage, platform, or parlor. It is best with 20 or more spectators. The more people, the stronger the effect.


I've got my ad here at the Café. I feel privileged as it was place right next to Slim Kings. Smile

I've been mulling this over for the last couple of days, and have to add my voice to the chior.

First of all, let me say up front, that I'd never heard of this principle before. After it was clearly explained in the file, I honestly laughed out loud (always a good sign). But not only did I learn a new principle,I also learned how to apply it with the few well thought out routines provided. And not only that...I could also see how this could be applied to 'fit' any audience/group/topic.

I just loved the convincers as they were in fact double edged swords providing the opportunity for 'kicker' endings.

I feel the method is quite bold, but that just adds to the overall excitement.

I fully intend to use this at the next possible opportunity.

Finally.....This manuscript is written in such a pleasant way......... full of charm, wit and humility. If a work of art can truely reflect the essence of its creator, then I would say that Mr Eye is a thoughroughly pleasant chap.

TOTAL BARGAIN!!!!!!!
Just had my girlfriend paypal the $$$$$$ so I can speak freely and honestly about MI.

I will be USING this methodology in my upcomming audition at Universal Studio's. The routine fits like a glove. Smile
I will be doing variations, as all performers do, but that's also part of the inspirational aspect of Tony's work. Of the thousands of routines to choose from, I've selected this one for my audition....That should tell you something Smile
I can't see how ANYONE would be dissappointed with this purchase.

Friend's Roman's and Cafémen lend me your ears.

Hey have you ever noticed that when a product is really good,sometimes the comment 'Golden' will be used. Like "this book is Golden",or "this effect is Golden".This usually means that 'this item has great value'...in 'performance'.

I would like to expand on this comment of 'Golden' in reference to Maximum Involvement Popular Selection.
Not only is this material valuable within the context of performance. This material can be a veritable bank account enhancer.

Please let me explain. The principle's and nuance's described in this e-book can be customized to basically any venue...business...or situation. This means that when you are making your sales pitch to the 'powers that be'...with a little thought...you really have something to hang your hat on...to get the gig!

Oh...a new business is opening...perfect!

Case in point: I have recently been contracted to perform at an 'Oldies' music concert...to perform one effect in between each of the Music acts.

Well 'Papa oo mau mau...Rama-lama-ding dong' This is perfect! I already had an idea of what I was going to perform, but this 'principle' will definitely be utilized...and with a routine that will be dear to the hearts of this specific audience.
This I believe,is the beauty of this material (aside from being simple and direct)...you are not only getting more folk's than usual involved...you are getting them participating in a theme that has personal meaning to them.

Thank-you Tony Eye. I look forward to what you have coming down the pike.

Best.

Tony,

I thought this was a load of crap.
Can't understand why everyone is raving about it.

Best,
James

P.S. Just kidding. Loved it.

I have just received Maximum Involvement. Swift and prompt service from Tony. Top marks there. As for the material...everything in it is extremely workable for me.

The idea is so brilliantly simple and I can visualize this fooling the crowd big time. Three great ideas and thanks for the additional bonus PDF.

The wonderful thing about Maximum Involvement is that it automatically gets you thinking of other ways to utilize the principal.

Great Stuff !

Tony, I'm waiting for your next offering.

Applicable to any language, any culture, and almost any subject you can think of. It's a principle that allows you to invent your own effects. Very very nice, and many thanks! I'm looking forward to the next installment.

Yes, and coming from Tom Jorgenson (one of the most humble geniuses I know of), I would immediately believe that, even if I were not knowing neither Tony nor his previous stuff. Smile

Tony,
I love your Maximum Involvement! I just got it two nights ago and have performed it today! It kicked butt 100%!

I did the first effect from your ebook because I just happen to have the item! It was funny to me to do the bit because it is so darn amazing in concept.

When the person open the item and read aloud the card the whole room went nuts!

Tony, You think very much like one or two others here and that is a very good thing! I am waiting for the next ebook from you




Best

I've been interested in Mentalism for over 20 years. When I started, every issue of Magick (and the mentalism books I purchased) contained material that was new to me. These new ideas got me excited. These early years were wonder-full times for me. I loved thinking how I could use each new idea.

Today, after 20 years of reading almost all that has been written about Mentalism, there are very few methods that are "new" to me. I admit I have forgotten some of what I have read earlier ... and a few old ideas seem new.

Anyway, the real secret in "Maximum Involvement" is a very clever forcing method. The method was new to me ... and very practical. If I was creating a new routine in the near future, I would be very tempted to combine this method in a routine along with others forcing methods.

I would love to know if Tony's method has been in print before ... or Tony's was the first to publish this method.

Regardless, it is well worth the $20 to me.

I said into another post that Tony has combined three things together (at least, I counted three of them) and the whole combo runs smoothly as a one-piece thing.

And that to me was the real value.

I couldn't agree more! This is the second manuscript I've purchased in a week that offers devilishly simple methodology that makes one kick themselves for not thinking of it in the first place!

Tony, I'm already working on a "Soccer Stadiums" theme here in the UK. With Wembley opening soon for our showpiece FA Cup Final, it should work perfectly!

I don't mind shelling out $20 for stuff like this - It's fantastically motivating brain food!

I have sort of already asked this, but just for my own clarification, is there any scope to use this in a smaller environment. The creator has already stated it is best with 20 or more people. Jim's work on the something dvd, although obviously better suited to a larger audience, actually works very well with small audiences. Is this also applicable to maximum involvement?

Muffin,

The whole premise is about the maximum involvement of your audience. A smaller audience would, by the very nature of it, be involved anyway to a certain degree, without the necessity of Tony's creative thinking here.

There is no simple answer to your question. Yes, it could work, but in my view, requires (almost demands) the "20 or more" to have the impact that is clearly the intention from the manuscript.
