They don't need to search for nomad pad revealed; just "magic trick pad" and it pops up nicely on the first page for them.

I think people do suspect imp pads a lot of the time. The two videos of Keith Barry performing below show such cases.

This totally new and innocent looking pad is actually one of the cleanest methods you will find today for a real-time peek. Imagine this…you hand out a small, pocket sized notepad to your spectator and ask her to note down any kind of special word, drawing or number that she can think of. Your spectator now tears the piece of paper from the spiral bound pad and places it into her pocket. Bear in mind that you can be totally turned away throughout this entire process. Once the paper is safely in your spectator’s pocket you retrieve the pad, close it and put it away. You now have all the information you require to perform a powerful mental revelation of the secret information in whatever way you wish.


The peek is direct, fast, covered by a natural motion and is totally self-contained. There are no electronics, nothing must be added or removed to obtain your peek and because the pad is put away before the effect really even begins, you are left clean at the end of the trick. Plus, the spectator can feely handle the pad without detection.

Theres nothing in here which cannot be performed with my NoMaD pad (including the description of the peek). So unless it turns out otherwise, what we have here is a variation on style of pad, not of method. If it runs off a nuclear powered battery THEN its a work of genius; but as such the description demonstrates nothing new. I'm hoping that the ad is deceptive, in the sense that the pad has more to offer than it says it does, but I highly doubt it. If the gimmick could be used in the dark for example then it would be a brilliant improvement over other pads out there, but it doesn't say it does that so I imagine it doesn't.

You can't just say the words "its genius" and not expect a guy like me to ask why its meant to be so good. Also Mark if you are reading this, its not an attack on you (or even your product) but it is a denial of the claim that the product is genius without some sort of explanation why.

The description above is NOT for Master Spy. That is the ad copy for a completely different device called the Mind Spy Pad. The email I received from Mark says that Master Spy is a board measuring 150mm x 220mm. So it appears that Master Spy is not a pocket sized notepad. The method is also completely different from imp pads like Nomad, Psypher, etc.

That's actually not that rare. Ive had quite a few people like that over the years and some far far worse.

Thomas,

I WOULD object to that email being posted here, so your presumption is wrong. It is very bad manners, at the least, to repost anyone's emails on an open forum you know...

It's not that I'm trying to be preciously secretive about the Master Spy, it's simply that it is a very limited release, and as such is available solely to subscribers to my newsletter.

That said, I'm happy for anyone to sign up for my newsletter! So if you're interested in the Master Spy, just drop me an email, I'll add you to my list and send you the most recent newsletter which contains all the info you need.

For that reason, I won't be participating in this thread any further. I'll be pleased to answer any and all question via email though...

Cheers,

ME
