Thanks Brett, I don't have the original Steam but know The Ghost was based on the same principle.
Maybe I should've better clarified my question on refills: it was relating to the cards used in the updated version and how easy (and affordable) they would be to source. Appreciate we are bordering on exposure here so don't want to expand further. Also understand that not many people would be in a position to answer unless they've seen the product in the flesh. Overseas shipping with the Aussie dollar is a killer right now

I have the Steam trilogy published 5-6 years ago by Café member Chris Matthewson. The books themselves are outstanding and I strongly suspect Steam 2.0 is something discussed in great detail with almost infinite variations in the trilogy. I believe the middle book, called "Thought Reader's Secret Weapon," definitely has this, but I think the other two books have variations, too.
I don't know if the books are still available, but as I said Matthewson is still a member of the Café and can be contacted. BTW, I believe the books discuss several improvements on the standard black marker commonly used. I've used many ideas from the trilogy and recommend them without reservation as containing some of the best information retrieval methods in the business! DK |

Nice package and trailer,
i have the original steam and I find the system very original and magical, but was just okey for big and simple shapes, did the resolution of the duplication improve over 1.0?

I get amazing resolution from the 1.0 as I have been experimenting for years with different variables - always keeping in mind that hot conditions as in Phoenix (or Spain) will greatly affect resolution. I think all of us who know STEAM (which has been a locked topic for many years) shouldn't discuss pens etc. Its a great utility tool - it is not a trick.

To answer sychou I would say DDs are just one of the myriad of options available...

The 'weaknesses' of billet work or w*llets as mentioned in the vid, there's the same weakness in this too, that you will need to cover their drawing or whatever with something prepared, AND it needs justification (same as billet or w*llet stuff) - so, its on a par with everything else we do...its a clever technique and it works well enough...but its not a holy grail...
I think the interesting bit is the 'adapt your sharpie' bit...

If the suspicion arouses because of logic e.g I wonder why he got me to put the envelope on the card then cover with my hands, because all I had to do was cover with my hands etc etc, then this unfortunately is the let down. The same as taking the card and putting it in a wallet. BUT if you can give a good logical and plausible reason for needing to do these actions then yes it's a winner. |

Exactly. I find it a bit disgusting that he practically scoffs at the use of ripping up a card or having to place it in your wallet and then fails to mention that you have to do something equally if not more contrived with his seeming perfect effect. If you're going to knock down classic methods of getting information and brag that your invention doesn't require those techniques, at the very least show in your video what you have to do instead. He goes on to say "don't even try to guess how it's done because you can't. It's THAT brilliant. What a joke. Bad form by the creator. Pass.

The edit @ 4:16 in the demo is enough for me to not buy this very misleading product. Do you think reactions will be better than using a wallet, etc?? I doubt it.

But the video demo here is typical PH playing footsie with the presentation.

Why does PH need to put good material in the magic blender and turn on high speed?

I watched Etiennes performance on fool us and I really do like how the box goes over the card because it seems so natural. 2 business cards does not. But hey, maybe they worked it into the routine perfectly.
I recently received Psypher 2. I know I am late but I'm trying to pick the advantages and disadvantages of them both. But right now they are looking rather similar. Once you know Steam, can't you adapt it to anything you want? If the special something is easy to source, can't you use a card box instead of a business card if you wanted to??? Even if that is not how they teach the new version. Thanks! |

This also helps in reducing the time factor for registering of the image. All other working remains same as per the original STEAM. So please don't get fooled by the clever advertising by these magic creators/distributors.
