'The Westolope' is the way to go. I think Paul was looking over my shoulder as I made this up yesterday with the words and pics on the card! He must float in the ether!!

I use a Z wallet with my pocket version of the routine. Works well.

Seems most have ditched the prediction as is. I think Daren has a fine solution. I really do not want to introduce a wallet into the effect, that is just my personal opinion. I guess there are pros and cons with either method.
PS Westo, did you mean the Mentalope envelope?

Wow, that looks much better then what I made up. Looks like a no brainer. I will use the prediction as is first to see how it goes until I get the cantalope enve in the mail.
There are other uses I think I could use this envelope for also. Can anyone who has this tell me how difficult it is to make these envelopes up? PDF vs Kit? Thanks DC

They are not too difficult to make up, but of course being lazy and lacking in patience, I take a couple of short cuts, thus....'The Westolope' Lets say a poor, lazy, frantic mans version!

I really like the concept of this one, spending more time and money then I thought but hoping it will be worth it. Sent you a PM West.
Since I have not broken it in yet, unsure where the heat will be, ie; the book, the envelope or the prediction. I do like Daren's way around this and will try that in the mean time with the prediction as is. I tried it a few times alone and with proper patter then the ditch, it may be just the thing that wins. Also, telling them to go ahead and look thru the book again, envelope etc may be enough distraction to head south with the goods. Would love to hear more real world on this. I have a very short strolling gig but its a top notch corporate gig so I have my set planned for this afternoon already. I may still bring BP along. I prefer a table to use however, think this is a mingler ice breaker of sorts.

Nice reactions which surprised me since I used a lot of my regular set. I even dropped the prediction on the floor one time but picked it up quickly. This was a mixer so I rarely found too many people at tables to use it more.

I used BP several times yesterday and it was great fun. Very easy to do and I used Daren's excellent suggested routine. Now I have to decide if I want to make up a more home made version in black and white. My family, fellow co-workers and customers know that I dabble in magic and so I don't know if it will make much difference to them. By the way - postage from Alan in Great Britain to me in Vancouver, Canada took just 5 days - very impressive.

For those of you using Darens suggested routine, I have put resized pages into a credit card holder(the ones with the vinyl pockets) Mines has ten pockets, meaning if I put an extra 'non F***e' page in, I can do the count from either end, this makes sure whether they choose an odd or even number, you will always be on the correct page.
please PM for further details, if you want. westo

I just got this, it's brilliant! It's one of those effects that seems so simple, you think "no way will this fool anyone"...
I've already done it for a few friends, and It certainly does fool people badly! |

I thought the cover of the "packaging", looks much better than the cover of the book it self.
I don't think some of the force symbols should have been included on the cover. what's the point? I also have a serious problem concerning the cover, there is a symbol 'very unique from the others', in the lower right corner, turn to first page and there it is again, (and it's unique and very different from the others), 2 pages later there it is again, not (thank god) in the same spot as the previous two pages but I can't help but think this will be an issue if you have the book examined by different spectator. It just seems like a mistake b/c it doesn't really help you in any way, (ie. psychological force) |

In response to MoonRazor's post above:
I agree that the packaging cover looks more suitable (i.e. professional) than the booklet's cover and can be easily changed or doctored to anyone's liking. However, with regards to the issue with the 'special' symbol discrepancy being spotted by someone examining the booklet: Aside from a quick thumb through just so they know there is nothing physically gimmicky about the booklet, I didn't think this was the type of thing you can let people examine. I personally wouldn't let anyone examine the booklet or the envelope or prediction. Those last 2 items (envelope & prediction card) CANNOT be examined whatsoever. Presented correctly, no one should be clamoring to inspect anything anyway. I really like this effect. |

It sounds a wonderful effect and I am thinking of buying it .
I expect to make up my own version but for those who own the effect would the following premise/idea work ? The pad would be pocket sized but have twice as many pages as the orginal. Half as per the effect but with black and white symbols not colour and half blank . Each page for number and symbols would look as if drawn by a different person and then on the corner of each symbol page a siganture, diffent on each page. The front of the pad would say have 12 symbols randomly positioned . The performer would explain the spectator is to look at the 12 symbols and choose four he is drawn to and then after skimming through the symbolds pages arrives at the first blank page, he is asked to copy the symbols onto the page and signs the corner. On the other page he is asked to think of a 4 digit random number . The performer can explain that the previous pages were created by individuals who had tried the experiment before. Based on the number and symbols the performer gives the spectator a personality reading and that you have a little understand of how he thinks. To prove this you go into the effect by making 2 predictions . The 1st one being the 4 symbols . Now the envelope will have to be special and have the orginal card hidden and also a blank one . The blank one can now be removed and shown both sides to be blank. Performer draws 4 symbols in secret and drops the prediction into the envelope. The 2nd prediction about the number is written on the back of the envelope and tabled facedown . Effect proceeds as the orginal . Number prediction revealed , then picture one removed matching the spectators choice. Andy |
