Hi Mark,
Thanks for letting me know. I have no clue what has happened with my page. I am contacting my web hosting department now. Thanks again for letting me know about this. Tony

Hi Tony,
Just as a follow up -- I try I.E. and it worked fine from that browser; then tried Firefox and got the same thing that Mark did. david |

Thanks David.
It seems like some very evil person has sent me a mother of a virus or trojan. I am just sitting on hold now with my internet provider trying to have them figure this out. Gee whiz, you would think people have better things to do than sabotage some magic dude's website. Anyhoo, I am working on this issue so hopefully the Firefox problem will be fixed asap. My site works fine on Explorer but not Firefox so I can't figure it out. Tony

Might be the fact that Firefox have just issued a recent update to their browser, so it might be an issue with that.
Or, it might be that the new Firefox is picking up something nasty that IE currently isn't. Either way, I hope you get it sorted out soon buddy. Mark |

I put this on another thread about Tony's effect:
I had an idea for this. What if you use blank Decision cards and have them read Dead and Alive. The person puts either card facedown in front of each pile then picks photos. Now you show the ending then turn the Decision cards around to show they matched what was placed in front of them. You could also do a simple version with laminated cards that have erasable words and letters so that both cards read: IS NOT ALIVE. You can rub off the IS NOT when needed on either card. Greg

Two things:
My Hampton Falls came today, and I have to say I am delighted with it! This is something I am going to USE as it is so good. It is clever and well thought-out. I recently installed the new Firefox and my internet access has slowed down considerably. I will have to go to Tony's site and see how Web of Trust reacts to it. __________________________________________________________________________________ For what it's worth, I just got the Google "Attack Site" warning, but WOT did not react.

Both David's, Mark, Bill, Greg, Doug and Winewizard, Thank you for your words of kindness. It is very appreciated. Greg, I love your idea about laminated cards. I wish I had thought of that one. That really opens things up a whole bunch.
I have received so many wonderful private emails of those who have also adapted Hampton for their own renditions and even completely different graphics. I am happy that you have all seen that the simplicity of this effect allows for such a personal presentation and adaptation. That is splendid indeed! It is one of my very favorites to perform and I carry one set in my wallet at all times for those moments of macabreness that could take place at any time for some unexpected stranger. Thanks again for the input also for this very strange Firefox web browser issue. It could take a few days to get back to normal. I hate technology sometimes but I know I can't seem to function with out it on most days!!! Tony

I've now performed this a number of times as part of a short set, and it works!
People really like the effect. It has audience participation, takes just the right amount of time and has instant reset. For my short set, Hampton Falls and 3NoEvil are the ones that get the best response. I did notice younger people like 3NoEvil a lot with the creepy shrunken heads and all; older audiences seem to like Hampton Falls better. |

Yes, watch the DVD. It will explain he apparent "incongruity." I like this "incongruity" because it throws off any thought of the method. I love this effect!

The last 4 times I performed this 3 were complete, hands-off separation.
There's nothing that leaves me with such an excitement, that I can barely keep myself in character, as watching those cards go into their piles, inviting the participant to make any further changes, whilst inwardly going "YEE-E-E-E-SSS!" punching the air! In fact, at Doomsday, Roni managed to separate them - the look on his face was priceless! ;-)

Re: Tony Chris
If his name is on it, you will be getting a quality, well-thought out effect: which be a bit bizarre and very much appreciated by your audience. With a well spun story, I have had people gasp at the Chosen. Hampton Falls will not disappoint. Tony gives a great effect and a great story which leaves room for expansion and personalization or use it as received. Either way you will get the creative juices flowing with one of Tony's items. I am not associated with Tony, but wanted to offer my opinion . Charlie |

Great comeback...and my guess is that you are strongly favoring mentalism in your act. Elsewise you could not have know my years in existence would make me eligible to be Tony's dad. |

Hi guys,
I just got back from holidays and read your posts. Wow, thank you so much brothers! I am truly touched that you have had good offerings to your audience with Hampton. Doc, you and I share the same YYEEEEEESSSSSS! factor, when it is a perfect outcome. I too love it when a plan comes together my friend. I am just hard at work now on two new bizarre projects including one that will be my biggest effort to date. It is going to be a 3 volume offering of strangeness. I have already being working on it for over a year and I am hoping for a December release. I will keep you all posted with this new project as it comes to fruition. Tony

Tony,
That's great news about the new projects. I enjoy your stuff. Is the 3 vol. set books or DVDs? Can you give any details on the content? George |

I have just received Hampton Falls, and like others have said it will not disappoint. This is a great storytelling opportunity that will leave your audience with the creeps and amazement. The bonus routine of one soul is Tony’s take on a classic that I immediately started to focus on. Hampton is a wonderful edition to anyone’s arsenal. Another great release by Mr. Chris.

I created a small routine for Tony's "One Soul" presentation. If anyone is interested, please PM me your email address and I will send it over to you.
