Does anyone have this or know anything about it? It is by Ted Lesley. It sounds wayyyyyy to good to be true.

Of course it's too good to be true! It's a mental (magic) effect!
I don't know what the difference is between the effect as described in Ted Lesley's book "Paramiracles" and version II, but the basic idea can be found there. Also, check out the following thread: http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......orum=102 If anyone can explain if there is a difference between the "Paramiracles" explanation and version II, I would be interested in knowing more. Perhaps it is the "new" wine glass effect Ted referred to in the above thread? Terry

I have seen version 1 on his Mental DVD and it looks ok and the explanation is senstional. I think the big difference is the special gimmick that yo must use for the amazing effect. If you can afford it buy it.

The effect sounds great. I have no idea how the heck it works even though it does say it is mechanical.
I would love to hear from someone who has actually USED this effect as it would help me in my decision. Thanks Chance

I don't have version 2 but I have seen version one and its explanation on Mr Ledleys videos and in my opinion it is very over prized for what it is. The thing that makes it expensive is the excusivity not the method. Also the method it uses is also its weakness. It is quite angle sensitive.
If you really want to get one just buy Mr Lesley video first and see what are you buying. |

I will second what you say KOrttihai. I have Paramiracles and it is not quite difficult to make it.
I don't understand why the charge should be that high. Is it because a trip to the nearest Glass blower is saved? Of course I could be wrong cos I don't have the marketed version. The effect is awesome though. |

I got the version I, I think the high price because it is handmade. ( I mean the book ) And it is quite angle sensitive and timming is also a matter. I never perform it just leave it as a collector's item.
I heard that version II is by remote control, I think this can solve the timming problem. Hope this help. |

I think that it is priced this high, just to separate the true interested and the juct curious ones.
How this is done is not a big secret to many of us, ParaMiracles gives you a thoroughly description how to make it. However, the chances for seeing this great routine everywhere is scarce. 1)Just a very few (if any) will take the work, time and trouble to construct it. 2)The number of people willing to invest such amount in one single routine, no matter how good it is, is very limited. I have never heard about anyone else but Ted Lesley that actually have used this in their real performances. Maybe it is best this way. Ted Lesley (at least in his DVD) performs it beautiful, and I think this routine for ever will be connected with him. I doubt it that any of us actually could get as much out of this as he does.
