I also think one of the HARDEST things about this is keeping everything straight in your head. You could write down notes but I think that would take a lot away from the effect. |

I'm glad it is going to take work. Too many mentalists are lazy. If actors can learn and remember 1400 lines of Shakespearean verse and prose when playing Hamlet, I'm sure a dedicated performer will be able to handle Train Tracking. Miracles don't come easy!

You have to put in the time and prove it by passing a "test" to move up to the next level for more advanced training and discussion. So there is a reward for working hard to move up the ladder to more advanced training, and the people who just buy the book and don't work at it will be "stuck" in the beginners forum. |

But this is also a very active memorization and always changing in performance (at least it appears so) So I think this would compare more closely to an actor leaning a new show every single day. The plot is always the same, but the script is different every time. Also, I love the idea of multiple levels of membership, I just wonder how the test could be "cheat proof" so to speak. |

I'm just passing on the initial discussion I had with Atlas a couple weeks ago about the TT owners forum.
Atlas is very busy doing TT demos and getting the book ready to ship, so I have not had any further discussions with him. After the books have shipped and people have had a couple weeks to read through the material, we will open up the TT owners forum and work out all the details for how to determine who is qualified to move up to the next level. Nothing is set in stone yet, this is a work in progress. The main point I wanted to make is that Atlas is very aware that TT requires a lot of work, so he is trying to provide a "carrot" to make you work harder rather than giving you all the advanced training just by logging into a forum. As most professional trainers know, the vast majority of people who buy their stuff will never put it to use. In fact, some won't even read the whole book or watch the videos. This is true in all fields, whether it's magic, marketing, real estate, etc. People are inherently lazy. So I give Atlas a lot of credit for recognizing this and trying to make sure people actually get their money's worth out of the book by giving them incentive to get more training if they prove they are doing the work. |

Oh it's definitely brilliant. No doubt. Especially a couple of weeks after I start learning it. I'm going to need the motivation to push me and keep me going. I'm GOING to learn and perfect this. It's just going to require a lot of hard work on my part.
I'm not sure if I've thanked you, but thank you for offering to make the forum. I'm excited to see what this thing grows into

Obviously I was indulging in a little hyperbole (especially the 50 years bit) but, actually, the more I think about it, I do believe it to be true, for the reasons I gave above. |

Just something I've noticed on this thread - as everyone is very excited about this release, I would ask that we all be very careful in what and how we talk about the project on this thread...
some of the comments are getting a bit close in giving minor clues...if there's a forum, which I believe there is, might be best to protect the secret and your money, by talking about it over there, rather than out in the open here? its not even released yet - so lets be respectful towards the book and the knowledge that's being shared, I'm sure you wouldn't want to accidentally 'leak' any pertinent info to non-purchasers would you...
I've asked to be banned

The forum won't be active until a few weeks after the books are shipped. Remember this is a public forum, and, you paid a nice chunk of $$$... it's not gonna kill anyone to refrain from posting ANYTHING. Hang in another couple weeks then you can go crazy! Anybody else with me on that? |

I decided to treat myself to an Atlas Brooking morning - re-read The Prodigal, Crusade and The Real Thing. What a truly great thinker he is.
Anyway, I had completely forgotten that Atlas had mentioned Train Tracking in the Real Thing manuscript. I recall hoping at the time that he would release it some day -now that day is almost upon us. If he keeps up his previous standard we could be looking at something very special indeed. In any event, we're guaranteed some elegant prose that isn't riddled with typos, which is a blessing in our e-book age! |
