Contribution sent!

Bill's idea is absolutely marvelous and I wish him all the best with this release. It's a keeper!

Brilliant non-linear outside of the box thinking. Bill is correct: You definitiely will be asking yourself you you didn't think of this yourself. A great effect. 2+2 definitley does equal (The) Four(ce).

Way to go, Bill!

Mike

Yes Greg and Mike, 2+2 does equal 4. Considering the equation 2+2 is not part of the e-book your addition skills are noted but not needed

Doing effects with all the audience is something that many mentalists/magicians miss.
Bill gives you something very strong to do with all your audience.
I am using it in every show.
Thanks Bill

What is "The Fource?"

This is getting wonderfully out of hand! Jerome's contribution is 7 pages of sheer brilliance. Thanks you so much for sharing something so special.

Greg, Mike, Lior, you guys are making me blush. Lior I'm so happy to read you have already incorporated The Fource into your shows! I want video!

I need a moment to breathe here but just to let you all in on even more that has transpired, Greg had already sent me a typically "Arsenian" contribution but I didin't know it. I somehow missed the email several days back.

More great news! Our own Bev has reached out a hand to prevent me from drowning in all of this! He has given me some typically "Mooreish" contributions that just rock. More on this later but Bev you are a life saver. I'll never regret tricking you into becoming a well known, published mentalist!

This thread is pretty ironic. First it was unintentionally misnamed "Mental Index" not "Mind Index," by a very well intending Christopher Taylor. Then I'm threatened by Dr. Spektor so I have to release news of "secret" plans for The Fource. And the rest you can read yourself above!

Elliot, in that long post where I first mentioned The Fource, I explained I couldn't quite yet release more info on an open forum. I did say I might be able to provide a bit more info via PM or email so check your email.

Somewhere today or tomorrow, I'll make an important announcement about unleashing The Fource. It may be time to give it its own thread!

Thanks. That is very clever.

I have sent in my pre-pre-order, as it is so rare to find something I will use.
I am already formulating plans to try “Fource” with billet presentations along the lines of Test of Power Revisited & The Pusillanimous Billet Read. At my next opportunity, I may even try it with the Q&8 sequence, sans gag. I just need to do some work on patter and presentation. The possibilities are very exciting.

I can’t wait to see the cool stuff that will be in the full book.

Thanks again,

Elliott

Sheesh, that wasn't a threat - being in a Mi-go Brian Cylinder is akin to immortality and cosmic travel across the voids of space... it was a bribe!

Bill,

Thank you for the kind words!

I'm honored to hear my contribution is well received and of use in your next release and offering to the mentalism community. After reading, 'The Fource' I knew this little gem I've been holding so closely was definitely meant for you and I'm happy beyond words to share and contribute it to 'The Fource.'

Your piece is marvelous, will be of tremendous use and make a lot of people very happy. I feel blessed to be involved here and more so, to have access to this type of material and great thinking. As I said before this is JUST my type of thing and I WILL continue using this piece (and already have with great success) all thanks to you!

Best,
Jerome

I've had a sneak peek at an early draft of "Fource", including some of the contributions. As I told Bill, the depth of the material that is emerging, with this simple concept at the heart, is wonderful; it shows how powerful "simple" can be. When this comes out it is going to make a big splash.

Well done Bill!

Christopher

What a day! Psi-Card, an Outlaw Effects/Dr. Bill Production, hit the boards today and The Fource is soon to follow. Ads for both should be up on the Outlaw website by tomorrow.

The banner for Psi-Card is already up on Penny For Your Thoughts and The Fource banner should be making its appearance on this forum (replacing the banner for Mind Index) any time now.

I guess it is truly time for The Fource to have its own thread!

Since it was spoken of in this thread:

Okay, I spoke with Bill and asked his permission to do this. I have two other ideas using the Fource that never made it into the book so for those that own it you can PM and I'll send them to you.
Of course, I'll need proof you own The Fource so you can tell me what the idea is based on and I'll know you have it.

Greg
