Hey guys, we have a problem with Google hitting the Café here with a LOT of confidential info! I am coding Luna as L*n@ and PG as P*@rly G@tes, to make it more difficult. I am doing that now with all mentalism effects I comment on from now on.
Google and YouTube are the BANE of magic, and I am doing everything I can to combat it. Are ya with me here? Doug |

It is completely safe to use these names on the Café because the public never sees or hears these words in performance. Out of respect for others, I do write LVN@ and PG here, but it really is not necessary. The real danger is in writing out C01ney H@7ch, which is printed on the props and discussed in the course of a performance. That's the one you need to be cautious about when discussing LVN@ and PG on any open forum. Likewise, you need to be careful about spelling out the name of the GH*ST author (J@mes), the PHANTOMS group (the E***1@$7ing C1u8), or the Renaissance figure J0hn D## in relation to DarkSpell. Someone *might* Google those names after seeing a presentation, and we want to be certain those searches do not lead back to the Café discussions and 'spoil the ride' for the audience. . . . not that I've ever had a problem with a "Google-buster", but some have.

I had to do a sanding job and change one of the titles due to google problems a couple of years back. I think we are all cognizant of the potential difficulty now and take the appropriate precautions.

For me the worry is not that they will google to catch me out but rather the subject matter is so compelling that they want to know more. to be honest I have wondered why the Café was not password protected to prevent such goings on.

The Café can block Google hits. I don't know how it's done, but I don't think they are interested. I made a suggestion awhile back, but was never answered.

They wont do it as it would cut off many new comers to the forum, this in turn cuts off moneys made from sales of products and advertisements. so for them google is a good thing, for us not so much. it just means we either
a) sensor our main chat posts or b) only speak in the private chambers such as pm or crypt. the advertisers need to make sales or they can no longer build and put out the effects that we are trying to hide from everyone. but if we present our effects with a different slant then it wont matter if they google as it will not show up as presented. better yet if we present our effects they way they should be then they will not have reason to google as they will never see it as a trick. its magic. real magic. the pitfall magicians are falling into is they spend more time caring what other magicians think and less time presenting true magic for our sitters.our job is to bring a realistic performance that will give them a reason to suspend disbelief. |

Thank you PROF BC
as I have seen you and others here share and help freely I feel it is my duty to do no less. watching the love of the art and creativity set aside as unnecessary has set us back severely as an art form. we are magicians, wizards, sorcerers, necromancers, we are the direct line of those that have come before us. its time we look to the past and find our birth right and heritage. the people need magic. they want magic. life without magic has little meaning for me as the wonder and mystery will have all been taken away. that's why I am thrilled to be here with you guys that are breaking ground on new material that forces us as performers to actually step up and create the mood the feelings the script the magic. the magic we create is as strong or as weak as we choose to make it. its up to us as artists, performers, and magi to protect our art the way they did in times gone by. |

I am proud to say I am ordering the final of the L*n@ series, PG, tomorrow morning. I feel this is a very important addition, completing the trilogy with a bit of terror thrown in as an option. As Michael said, you can take this to extremes, and I like having that option.

Well! PG arrived today! I see now why it takes so much time to make these. That picture does not do this justice! I mean this looks OLD! Definitely 1930, no question. This looks pretty simple. I really need to get all three L*n@ books down before adding PG.
I see how this could be VERY spooky! Anyone performing this on Hallowe'en? Doug |

Question: I ordered it on Vics Webside. Do I get the manual/instructions/pdf via him or whom I have to ask then for.
Just asking, because I read in the thread that when you order it from Rick (OE)than he would send the pdf via email. |

Vic Nadata Special user Charlotte, NC 935 Posts |
Ill email it to you.

Just purchased this today before the sale ends on OE site, looking forward to this as I have interest in introducing ghostly aspects of magic in my newer act. Have to pick up L*n@s series later when I get this one down. Nice stand alone that is also hooked into L*un@ !

Thank you Vic, I also received your link. Briefly went thru PDF, loving it !!! Sooooo many ways I see to run with the storyline introduction on this as the many creative stories that one can within PG & the linking with the L#n@ series or just one year.
& with the AHS tv series ( I love ) helps me create more to imagine the way it kind of was in an asylum & transfer this to the sitter & audience (the basic's of without the extra devil, alien thing & some of the twisted story lines...LoL ). I do p/t audio special effects for Halloween haunts,home haunts,etc & created some audio tracks of a ghostly asylum background I put together for an asylum haunt I did last year. I may possibly use with the ghostly asylum sounds & voices vaguely in the background for a few moments to further the imagination of the storyline ambiance....... |

My two property managers came up from Portland to do my annual inspection and lease renewal. Two ladies, one in her late twenties and the other in her early thirties. Lovely ladies. I did L*n@ for them. I think they were spooked. The eyes told me all I needed!
I really set the tone with PG. That started the "creep factor". I kinda did an acting job, having to sit down, wiping sweat. Horrified at what I "saw". They bit, hook, line and sinker! Neither could believe it! They do not think the same of me any more! MWAHHH hahahahah! Doug |
