Plant a seemingly random word in your spectators minds... Then reveal exactly how you did it!
Demo here: http://www.murphysmagic.com/Product.aspx?id=53248 Some of the questiosn we've been getting from dealers on Infamous as there is a Delux vesion as well. Q: What is the difference between the Standard and Deluxe packages? Both packages contain the DVD and special cards that allow you to perform the core routine as seen in the trailer. With the Standard package you will need to supply your own book (almost any book will work), and you will need to create your own gimmick (instruction is included on the DVD to guide you through this). The Deluxe package contains a book and a gimmick so after assembly you will be ready to go in about 5 minutes. The book contained in the Deluxe package has been s pecially prepared to allow you to perform a number of bonus effects that will not be possible without it. Q: I am terrible at arts and crafts. Will I have trouble assembling the gimmicks? I doubt it! It is extremely simple, and uses standard items you are likely to have lying around the house. Q: How examinable is the Deluxe package's book? The book is extremely examinable. It contains over 300 pages of text from the real book and it has been specially modified so that you could read it cover to cover and not discover the secret. It contains a well-known principle in a new way to tie in with the Infamous premise. Q: Will there be an option so that purchasers of the the Standard package can later upgrade to the Deluxe package? While there is no immediate option for this, something might be made available in the future. However, the best deal will be to buy the Deluxe package at the outset. Is this suitable for walk-around? This was developed with the walk-around performer in mind. The book contained in the Deluxe package is the ideal size to be carried in a jacket pocket. While the effect will play out the same each time, the word selected by the participant can be varied each time. Questions welcome!

I'm really excited that this is finally going to be released, as it has been a long time in development.
A few people may have seen me demo this on the MagicWorld stand at Blackpool or in the Ruskin. I'll be around to answer any questions I can.

Hello
I like the idea very much, but I'm from germany, so it will be very difficult to use. Is an international version planned? Benjamin |
|||||||||
Daniel Meadows Veteran user Manchester, UK 392 Posts |
Hi Benjamin, Thanks very much. If you go for the Basic edition (just the DVD and cards) then you can make it into any language you wanted. The DVD covers the 'international make your self' version and I imagine that you can make it work easily even in Germany
The Deluxe edition comes with the book shown in the trailer that can be used in the routine. The book is written in English so if that is the problem then you are better sticking with the Basic package. Hope that helps!

Well I couldn't resist this! I've thought for a long time that planting a 'random' word in a specs mind, rather than supposedly 'reading' one from within, would somehow make more sense. I'm also liking the fact that you offer an explanation. As a 'proud to be a hobbyist', hobbyist, I'm always looking for ways to convince friends and family that 'this is not another trick, but real because'...........
But then I may be insane.......

Hey Roblane, thanks for that. I think it pretty much sums up where I was coming from when devising this. The original inspiration was Derren's famous effect 'Animal Heaven' from his Mind Control series https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UpUcgPP-YY
It was one of the first effects of its type that showed you how he did it (ahem). On the DVD I go through the history of the development and hopefully credit the key people along the way including Phill Smith, Steve Valentine, Nicholas Einhorn, Leo Boudreau and Max Maven. To give people an idea of my approach and usual presentation, here is a video of me performing this for a group the night we filmed the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq3ulQ2TDuk Just to let people know though that this doesn't have to just be a close-up effect; as I cover 3 different ways of making this play for parlour or stage.

We've been getting a few questions about what the routine looks like with the Deluxe edition book (the other videos could have used any book).
So with the weather being great this Bank Holiday, I hit the town with James Anthony (MagicAnt) to record the following vids: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GD3EJBaY......L_w2gruA and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjtrJQaB......L_w2gruA Infamous launches tomorrow!

Does the Non Deluxe version come with the card that goes in the book?

Just placed an order for the Deluxe set. Ordered from Penguin and should have it by the end of the week. This will be a great addition.

Hi Cassidy001 - Please let me know your thoughts on this once you get some hands-on time.
(PM sent to answer your initial question, although you seem to have resolved it before I could respond!)

Seems similar to the Steve Valentine "Booked" with the addition on some printed cards, nice twist.
|
|||||||||
Daniel Meadows Veteran user Manchester, UK 392 Posts |
That's a fair observation as that was the original method I used during the development of the effect. I give full credit to Steve Valentine for his 'Booked' and to Nick Einhorn for his 'Thought Xtractor'. I was in contact with Nick before this was released and the method had to be changed enough not to be derivative of either. Nick was gracious enough to stop by the MagicWorld stand at Blackpool for a chat about the effect too.
My aim with Infamous was to take the effect into a different direction, which I believe to be novel territory (until someone tells me differently!). If you already know the Booked / Thought Xtractor method then the Deluxe edition allows you to do a more advanced version of the effect involving a double mind read (One sees the implanted word, the other sees the real word in the book. You can reveal both words).

Infamous is pure genius. I am very glad that I purchased the Deluxe Version of the effect. I carry a messenger bag with my supplies so this will go in just perfectly. There is nothing about the presentation that I don't like. The Deluxe comes with a book and it goes perfectly with the cards or it can be used alone. The instructions were very clear and well done. You won't really need to go back and re watch or pause because you couldn't follow along. The dinamic that James and Daniel have is great and they play off of each other. You can just see yourself performing this as it is explained. I am very happy with this purchase. It was well worth the investment. I am sure that I will have a lot of fun performing Infamous. Thanks guys.

Hey Cassidy001 - thanks very much for that. We tried to cover all the basics along with some further ideas. I hope you enjoy performing it and soon 'become Infamous'!

Hi Fire Starter. Thanks for letting us know. It's always nice to hear that people appreciate what you have done. This has been my baby for so long and with it being my first release it has been a steep learning curve, but it makes it worth the effort when you get feedback like that!

How many words can be predicted for repeat performances. Is it possible to force any word you want or is it set.
