And if I might add... this really sounds like fishing... the importance is the routine. And the routine is constructed in such way that there is nothing suspicious in what number is chosen. ANY number can be chosen and it is absolutely 100% convincing.
But why the h**l do I fight for this after all... |

I just got my Nostradamus Chest a few days ago. I should point out that if you want to do this totally clean, there is quite a bit of mental work to do, and in performance this can be difficult under pressure. Or you can routine it so that you get some help along the way. I will learn to do it entirely from memory, as in the long run it will simplify things a lot. But for now, it's a question of routining my presentation so that every mental step is completed as a natural part of my patter, and nothing is forgotten.
However, the method is absolutely ingenious, and no one is likely to ever guess it. There really is NOTHING to see, a super-clean effect. When you're first practising and you keep arriving at the correct prediction card, it's almost impossible to believe. After a while the method is so ingrained, that you know how and why it's there. Lends itself to a stage presentation, or a parlour show. This is definitely magic for magicians, and the chest will rank alongside Dean's Box as the pride of my magic collection. A beautiful piece of magic. Doug. |

Doug I totally agree my friend!
as for the mem work, not too bad, I find it easy to mentally see 3 columns! (hope you get my drift) Also il pm you with some ideas about how to make it even more undetectable (if that's possible) I bought mine for one reason, to sit the chest on the side and await the question 'whats that' and then you are ready to show the most powerful ACAAN in the cleanest hands off mannor! Amazing and a beautiful peice! Ash |

I forgot to mention that when I first opened this, I was delighted because the box looked SO innocent. I immediately guessed at something really clever, and I was right. The beauty of this piece is that upon examination, there really is NOTHING for the spectators to find.

Thoughts on combining with Dean Dill's "Revealtion" for reveal.

Don- I have both Revelation and Chest, and they should not be combined, in my opinion. Both are superlative effects. They are two different ways of getting to relatively the same end, which is to reveal a prediction as a card previously placed in an envelope. Even if they could be combined, why would you want to? Of course, others are free to disagree.

I see Collector's Workshop has this effect back in stock. I enjoyed reading the discussion here about this effect, but the one question I have was not answered. Can anyone please enlighten those of us who are considering buying this effect whether or not some kind of n*** w****r is used by the magician to pull this off? If not, then this sounds like a GREAT effect! Thanks!

Hoodrat- that is not used by the magician. The effect is extremely clever.

This effect uses an extremely clever and unique principle. It's not for everyone, but if the idea and presentational conditions fit your style, you won't be disappointed!

Is there a demo video of this somewhere?
Its intriguing... but I wonder how fair the description of the count off is as it "feels" like a tricky-math thing to me from the description. I'd like to see a performance.

Yes, it's totally fair.
I wished that someone would have shown me this before I got it yesterday. When I read the ad first time my initial little guess on how it could be accomplished was right. (But just how not how exactly) It is so really well worked out. What a clever mind the inventor is! If presented right their is no way to find a method. Thank you all here for your brilliant ideas and of course reviews! all the best |

Yes nicolino it's wonderfull. But I am not sure about a demo.
Do people who own this really want to see it on video? I think I don't... I guess there is a reason why things like that do not show up openly on the internet. It's like diving for a pearl. More divers will make a place of pearls not more valuable. To be earnest, my initial post here was made by a mistake. I wanted just to write a PM to another member, quoted him and posted it accidently. There is a lot to learn with this and many things that can be adapted to personal needs. People should just love and esteem it. Cyberqat you can trust in the ad and CW. Of course, Eric Samuels and others made it also very clear here. When you in germany happy to meet and showing it to you. All the best, Martin |
