I want to take out the props that are included in the book, and have them someplace else.
Any ideas?

Just a quick question. Did you all receive email notification of shipping? I'm awaiting my copy but have yet to receive confirmation that it has shipped.
Thanks Dave. |

I got my book a few days ago and here are my initial thoughts. Everything about the book is first class and what you would expect for the cost. I have read 30 or so pages and so far I am very impressed with the originality and creativity of the material. I hope to post my thoughts once I have read everything. In short, I am extremely happy with my purchase.

I need to stop reading about this book. I am so tempted to purchase it. I have a strong respect for all of Andy's material.
We will see how long I can hold out. Mike |

ANDY NYMAN BULLETPROOF Suggested Retail Price: $250 Available at: http://www.miraclefactory.net THE BLURB: Edited by Todd Karr Preface by David Berglas Foreword by Derren Brown "Nyman is my man. A new book full of his twisted and wonderful thinking will be a treasure for those who get the chance to look inside." - Michael Weber "Andy Nyman is a creative dynamo. When he starts thinking, the sparks start flying." - Max Maven "Andy's work is an inspiration! I am in awe of his ability to fuse elegant methods with dynamic plotlines." - Jeff McBride "Andy Nyman is one of the strongest creative forces in the magic world and one of my favorite performers. I highly recommend Bulletproof!" - Larry Becker Strictly limited edition of only 750 copies Each copy signed by Andy Nyman and hand-numbered 300 pages Over two dozen actual props included inside the book Over 40 high-impact, commercial Andy Nyman effects, some never before revealed Insightful essays on mentalism and magic theory More than 300 illustrations! Bonus DVD behind the scenes of the series "Dead Set": "A Dream Come True," directed by and starring Andy Nyman Original audio interview CD, Andy Nyman on Acting and Magic Lavishly illustrated with clear explanatory photos Full-color section Deluxe leather binding Andy Nyman is renowned worldwide for his ingeniously constructed mysteries and mind-blowing performances, along with his brilliant work with sensational mentalist Derren Brown. Now he finally reveals some of his most preciously guarded secrets in Bulletproof, one of the most incredible mind-reading books ever published. Bulletproof will teach you over three dozen of his reputation-makers, all practical, commercial, and diabolical, routined with Nyman's renowned psychological precision. The book features ten essays on Andy's theories of magic and mentalism; his three lecture notes with revised effects and new photo illustrations; and updates and improvements on some of his best previously published effects, plus in-depth interviews, a preface by David Berglas, and foreword by Derren Brown. Bulletproof includes a soon-to-be-legendary array of bonus items bound right into the book: over TWO DOZEN props ready to use in various Bulletproof routines: gaffed cards, postcards, signs, sheet music, a cue card, a magazine cover, and other unique items. Also attached inside the book: a bonus CD of an interview with Nyman on mentalism and Andy's behind-the-scenes DVD of Dead Set, his BAFTA-nominated dramatic series. Bulletproof is a strictly limited edition of only 750 copies, each signed by Andy Nyman and numbered. Printed on top-quality satin-finish paper, each copy is hardbound in luxurious leather with a full-color dustjacket and color section, with all bonuses bound into the book. If you don't order Bulletproof now, you may long regret it! Bulletproof is destined to sell out and become a much sought-after classic and collector's item.

When Todd announced his intention to make this book, I knew instantly that this book would be no less in quality than the others he's published. I knew that this book would be nothing short of the best of the year when it was published. Unfortunately, due to a variety of reasons, most of which were not under Todd Karr's control, the book was famously delayed. So much so - more than two years - that many purchasers were quite upset and understandably so. But now the book is out and Karr has delivered on his promise and more so. So, was it worth the wait? Frankly, I cannot say. I've kept myself so busy that I really didn't care when it was coming out. So many other products came out to occupy my time that I knew that when it was released it'll be something to be joyous about. And, make no mistake, this elegant, beautiful, fascinating, instructive, and collectible book has just been crowned as my Best Mentalism Productive of 2010. Besides it being gorgeous, it has something for everyone, the magician and the mentalist, amateurs and professionals, fans of Andy Nyman and those who will become fans of Andy Nyman's work. For fans of Andy Nyman, all three sets of his lecture notes are here. But they are now handsomely explained and illustrated. Besides the notes there are more than a dozen new effects, plus some essays. But that's not all. Just take a look at the blurb and see what else in this book. As a bonus, there are two DVDs which has an interview and performance footage. As if that's not enough, there are props for over a dozen effects included in the book. The props are held in plastic sleeves and attached to the pages. Not many other books, especially mentalism books, have done that. Okay, so are there are considerations? Sure, but they're minor. First, the blurb says that book is 300 pages. It's really 287. Second, the price is more than for the usual book of mentalism, but then this isn't your usual book on mentalism. And that brings us to the final and most important consideration. This is a limited edition of 750 copies. At the time of this writing, over two-thirds have been sold. I'm certain that by the end of 2011, if not much sooner, they will no longer be available. That's a shame, but that's the nature of limited editions. Do I really need to say anything more? Didn't think so. Hope you enjoy it and that you didn't try to order this too late, or you'll be kicking yourself for a very long time. http://www.marketplaceofthemind.com/bulletproof.html

Honestly, I don't see how price should be an issue on this book. Clearly the book will sell out and will be worth more in the future than its current sales price. Just my opinion

I ordered mine on December 24, 2010, and received a very nice email/shipping confirmation today.
Todd seems like a really decent fellow.
"Is there any point to which you would wish to draw my attention?"
"To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time." "The dog did nothing in the night-time." "That was the curious incident," remarked Sherlock Holmes. |

And where are the detailed reviews from purchasers? What about the essays and the dozen new effects? Why so silent? Surely someone has read enough of their new copy to say something.
