Down to 5th!

There goes my prize

At least it was a pleasure participating

Atlas I suck at riddles but really enjoyed receiving and reading your presentation from 'Reach Beyond The Sun' this morning. =)

I thought only first place recieved a prize?

Maybe so - I must have got confused in all the confusion!!

No. Everyone who finishes receives the greatest prize of all: My respect and love!

First of all - Thanks Jeff. I'm glad you enjoyed it - Art's book is full of great ideas.

Atlas, what were the prize places? Was it just the top spot?

I subscribed and filled the Riddle section some days ago but never got any emails other then the "Works of Art" one a couple of days ago. Am I doing something wrong?

Check your junk mail Heka - same happened to me.

Hi Garbo,

Sorry for the tardy reply!


Best,

Atlas

No worries - thanks for clarifying. I did read that post but must of got carried away in all the excitement!

Thanks again for setting this up - was great fun!!

Regards,

Dave

I heard Atlas was holding a riddle contest and thought, "How hard can it be"? Well...my mind had never conceived of such bedevilment! Thank you, Atlas, for a great journey, and many thanks to Garbo, C.J., and Steve Young for the helpful nudges that guided me back when I was lost. It was fun!

Blessings to you all,

CSK Sr

Nope, I checked. Guess it's way too late

I haven't heard from Atlas for a couple of days. Is he on his way to Mind Summit in Germany? He also had a policy of usually only responding to confirm correct answers, so if you've made some mistakes, he might not have replied.

Anyway, I'm happy to check your answers for you so you know whether to keep waiting for a reply or re-check your working out.

What I meant is that I didn't even received the first email. That's why I thought it's too late to start it now. I was curious about the riddles

Oh, it's too late now. The Riddle is over.

Actually, the Riddle challenge is over, but The Riddle is just beginning!

You'll recall that I promised a big announcement today, and that The Riddle would be unveiled.

Before I make that announcement, let me thank everyone who participated in the festivities in the run up to this announcement. We'd also like to announce that, in addition to the top finisher receiving a copy of Train Tracking, the top five finishers will also receive one of Pete's books - so long as it is available on Monumentalism.

We hope that you've enjoyed these challenges and that they have contributed to your ability to think laterally. We also are deeply mindful of and grateful for your support.

In fact, over the years, Pete and I have had the opportunity to get to know quite a few people and they have been kind enough to share their ideas with us. Some of these ideas have been excellent - bordering on genius - and, with the effect they've had on our development as performers, we've long felt that they deserved a wider audience. While pondering over how to help these talents gain exposure, we struck upon an idea, and The Riddle was born.

We are therefore very proud to announce that, in cooperation with the inimitable Michael Murray, we will be releasing a Magazine dedicated entirely to Mentalism - The Riddle.

Its emphasis will be to shine a light on these talented young creators while simultaneously encouraging our readers to identify the tools of Mentalism, visualize what they'd like the audience to see, and then use these tools to bring that scene to life. In a nutshell, the goal of the magazine is to develop successful performers.

The Riddle will feature cutting-edge ideas and routines, thought-provoking and engaging interviews, challenges and elite contests for our readers, and - among other things - clues to the ever changing Gatekeeper password.

And Connor - as the winner of the Riddle challenge - will receive every copy for free.

Thanks again to everyone who has shared their time and thoughts with us.

It is our hope that, through The Riddle, we can begin to repay your kindness.

Best,

Atlas

Congrats Conner.

I'm definitely intrigued by this idea. I canceled my other magazine subscriptions because I couldn't relate to much of the content. I'll definitely sign up.

Wow, what a great news! I hope to be updated regarding the release of the magazine although I'm not one of the top five.

Take care!
Hans
