I am current preparing another script and approach which is much lighter and more suited to mental magic or card guys.

In addition there will be an appendix in the future offering alternate handlings devised by those who have performed the effect in the field.

Now seriously, I was demoed Crusade last weekend. And what can I say?

It was the blend of a brilliant performer, an extremely well fitting patter and a bloody clever effect that left me nothing but fooled!
Wow, this does not happen every day...

The only concern one could have is that this effect needs a certain mood and environment to unfold best; it's nothing you would want to show in a hurry or to a wired crowd. Otherwise I'm impressed - by its simplicity, its methodical mimicry and the ease of performance!
Well done, mates!

Well, I must say that I was pleased to wake up and see that this thread had gotten longer and was filled up with splendid feedback from Nicolino, Axman, and Bosco!

Nicolino - While I was pleased to hear your experience with "The Crusade", I'm sort of more interested in how your efforts went on Monday night!

Axman - I appreciate such enthusiasm. Time will tell.

Bosco - I thought I'd post a little bit more about the forthcoming supplement. As many of you who have read the book will have noticed, there is an inherent flexibility in the process, and some very creative minds have corresponded with me and shared their alterations. So, after some thought, we decided to release an addendum to the book that shares handlings by Greg Arce, Laurence Hookway, Michael Murray, and others. I want to be the first to thank them for taking the time to share their ideas and variations, and for being willing to allow us to share them with others. I'm hoping to put the supplement together within the next month or so and will send it out to everyone who currently owns the book. There are some very clever adaptations out there, including one in which the thought of card is placed in front of the participant before the other participant's thought of number is ever even considered. This supplement will be full of great ideas and subtle convincers and I think you will enjoy it.

Thanks again to everyone for all the kind words - With a subject like the ACAAN plot (which is frequently contentious), I am pleased and genuinely gratified to see a consensus that our book was a worthwhile addition to the canon.

Best,

Atlas
