Hi Mike,
Good Question! The two somethings as opposed to one something were used mainly for the real time psychic guide routine & other routines of that nature. Because you own solstice you will understand that switching from being directed left to being direct right with solstice is not as easy as you have a delay (so to speak), with ALONE everything is happening in real time. Add to this the fact that it is far easier to tell left from right, up from down, yes from no etc with ALONE as you are not getting mixed up with the b*** count (hope that makes sense). ALONE offers a much more organic package than solstice although solstice is great too. Don't forget that ALONE allows you to think a little bit more outside the cards (outside the box ;o) as the unit is mobile unlike Solstice. Hope that answered your question??? Cheers, Matt Johnson |

Hey Matt!
You answered it perfectly and now makes sense. I was so confused about that but I knew there had to be some great explanation. I just couldn't figure it out. 
thanks for answering the question. Now I'm on the fence again (only b/c I have Solstice)

The left and right thing does makes it really easy to sense.
There is some great thinking behind Alone. So many possibilities...

You need the essence of the magic to feel real to your audience... which is best accomplished by not lamenting over the fact that there is a "method" to achieve each feat. I will never forget a post I read on here that described a story where a member asked a friend what he thought real mind reading would look like, and he said, "I would think of something, write it down, and the person would read my mind." Don't dwell on method "alone."

Ofcourse after some brainstorming I am almost positive that you can't do that with Alone. I'll have to find some other instant impression device. Took me a while to put two and two together on the card revelation, but then suddenly it hit me like a load of bricks, and I was just "Oh. So that's why he does that." I'm not positive as to the ring, but I have a very good speculation, and that effect itself wasn't as interesting to me vs. writing something on a paper and reading their mind. Still its an ingenious idea. |

Not a big fan of this and would rather use traditional methods to achive the end result.
But if you are into short cutting traditional methods or you just don't have the skill to achieve this in other ways then go for it. MM |

If you view the use of electronics as a substitute for skill, then you are missing a very important performance principle: If using an electronic device can not provide you with a significant THEATRICAL improvement over other methods then it makes absolutely no sense to use electronics. However, as David Berglas and other major contributors to our art have pointed out, if theatrical advantage is gained then it makes perfect sense. All the best, Christopher |

"I chose two books, I told him where to stop, and then read a word. He read my mind" is what most people think. |

I don't have Alone but a close friend of mine does. This is a wonderful impromptu system for gaining information in the fairest way. There are so many presentations possible.
