I don't know if these questions were answered and I missed them, but I would appreciate any help:
1. can the height of the card be increased with a stronger "drive"? 2. can a credit card (or bill) be floated in-hand (like the playing card) or must they be on a flat surface? If the answers would be considered exposure, I would appreciate a PM. Thanks for any help in this matter. Regards, Steve

I'd assume it could be done on a hand, because it can be done on a leg, and a leg is round.

Steve,
The answers are as follows: the height cannot be increased with the power of the "drive magnet" but the stronger the "drive magnet" the further away you can be. The gimmick is very sensitive and can be driven with a very small magnet. Yes, you can use other flat objects. I have a seance presentation that uses photographs of dead movie stars, for example. Generally, you need a flat surface on which to perform. But there are exceptions... The 100 page book that is included with the set details a FLOATING BILL application. You can float the bill off any flat surface, or the spectator's knee, if you are seated with them, of course! Please PM any further questions. I feel we are almost about to cross the line. The set is released in the first week of May. Please reserve with your dealer as soon as you can. The demand is huge and we will try to avoid any delays. Hope this helps. Cheers Ben

Ben - can you tell us if this is going to be carried by retailers in the UK (and if so, which ones!)?
Cheers, David.

Hi David,
I believe Alakazam and World Magic Shop. The distribution is being handled by Murphy's, worldwide, but but the above shops mentioned to me that they were looking forward to carrying Enlightenment. Cheers Ben

Can't wait. Order it frm HP already. But still hopes to buy the custom made card gimmick that I missed. Any idea when will it be available to the public, Ben?

Would rare neonydium (spelling??) earth magnets work for this effect? I have seen several available on ebay with varying degrees of strength. or is the "paradigm shifter" as its called the ideal strength and size of magnet for this effect?

Hi Ferris Steve
Yes, any of these magnets bigger than 10mm X 10mm X 15mm will work. The Paradigm Shifter is a Rubber Coated for comfort. Just a nice touch. Makes the magnet less harsh to handle. Cheers Ben

Hi Will,
Here's a listing of the contents of the TWO supplied books as per your request. Book One: Quick Start Manual This is 40 pages and is standard (boxed with gimmick). It is in four languages (English, French, Japanese and Spanish). This booklet is designed to get you up and running (quickly) with the gimmick. Contents: Introduction Photographs The Gimmick How To Practice With The Gimmick Hiding The Drive Magnet Warranty Information Book Two: Enlightenment: The Ultimate Floating Card. (100 pages with photos) This book is not written like a regular "magic book" rather it is in a conversation style that explores the use of magnets in magic and superimposes the new work over this. You are then taught the details of the Floating Card Application. This entails installing the gimmick (if desired), handling, performing, etc. Contents: Prologue Magnets in Magic Developing The Enlightenment Engine Dropping Copper The Floating Card Application Quick Start Easy Install Professional Stealth Install Performing The Floating Card Illusion Bonus: Floating Dollar Bill Off a Spectator's Knee Appendix Endnotes Cheers Ben

I just ordered Enlightenment and the Paradigm Shifter from Hocus Pocus. But, I'm still a bit confused. Since I did not preorder, I will have to make the deck gaff myself, correct? Is this a fairly simple thing to do?
