Matt has done a great job with Tilt. His usual super clear explanation... but more importantly a concept that is clever, easy and very adaptable.

I use the concept with a Staples (Business Depot) brand of yellow highlighter. The design of this particular highligher lends itself very well to Tilt. I have used this in presentations and meetings on several occasions... makes a great ice breaker. Briefly this is my prsentational hook... "They say that the pen is mightier than the sword, if that's true than this (show highlighter) must be the stongest weapon in the world! Think about it... with one simple swipe of this highligher I can instantly focus every reader to a word or concept on any printed page.... pretty powerful stuff! With your help I would like to experiment with this concept of harnessing the collective focus in this room..." I go on to perform Tilt apprently causing it to fall over using the power of the particpants in the room. I end by giving the highlighter as a souvenier to someone in the room.

This gets a great reaction and for $9.99 you can have an opener that can be done in a room with a 100 people and fits in your breast pocket... not bad.

I have recently adapted the concept to a small old skeleton key I found in an antique store. The key needs certain properties to work but they are not hard to find. This is freaking cool and has opened up a ton of presentation ideas!

Cheers,

John

I finally took the plunge and bought Cliff.

The method is new, diabolical and different. Very easy to perform and is totally hands-off. The method is very clever and is completely different than TiLT. I will be using Cliff and TiLT and I recommend it to those who like to perform such magic. I must say that, Mr Prager is a great thinker.

Cliff, plus TiLT equals POWERFUL PK that packs small but plays big.
