I received 'Linked' today. It is really very good, though I haven't yet had the opportunity to try this out in the real world (it will take some practice to get the knack down pat). The patter is excellent, but the whole 'cure for impotence' thing will probably fly over the heads of my audience so I'll use the other option '#2' on the menu). I also think that in the future, if an effect is going to use such a gaff, the vendor should be more upfront about it. Not wanting to give too much away, there's a certain fiberglass thing that will not last forever and I don't want to have to buy refils every four-five performances. I suppose it could be solved using a lighter instead of the suggested ***d b***d, but now that smoking is so out of fashion even the lighter is not a perfect solution because people don't seem to have one that can be easily borrowed.

Anyway, I look forward to hearing what others think (and to know if you've had any bright ideas about the fiberglass m****t).

Please refrain from slandering my country's name and making childish comments simply because you can't wait to receive your magic toy. Grow up and be patient! You should receive yours any day now. (For the record, no I did not receive 400 units by accident, so they're still out there).

Back to Linked: This is a very workable routine and my fears about the sturdiness of the gaff are pretty much unfounded since I've now tried it almost 30 times in practice and there's barely wear-and-tear. It FEELS wobbly (those of you who have this will know what I mean) but it doesn't actually get any weaker as far as I can tell. Well worth the money, that's for sure!

I still can't say how an audience will react because I haven't tried it, but I'll give it a shot after a few more rehearsals (it's more the patter that needs work than the actual moves, which are easy. Unless you work for adult audiences you will NOT want to use patter #1!!!).

adios,

Hi,

I received an email from Magicbox today to say they received one of the 2 boxes I sent. I have also checked the tracking of the second box and it says it will arrive Tuseday (this Tuesday). They will be sending out Linked stright away. I will also NEVER do or allow pre order on any of my effects as this has created such a nightmare for everyone. Linked was put up as pre order when Switcher, Cutting Edge and Back 2 Front was sent.

I love magic and have done ever since I started at 5 years old.

Again my aim is simply to create new visual magic, not to create bad feeling.

Best,

Richard
