I will be giving out three free PDF's of my newest release "Postcards from the Wizard" ...

Martin Gardner calls the effect "great!" ... No kidding! More reviews on the way.

To be fair, please PM me and request the PDF (There may be some mistakes but I hope to have them fixed by the time the lottery is over... No Guarantees)
Please include a three digit number with your request. Jim Callahan has chosen a Mystery "three digit" Number that even I don't know. Everyone can PM me just once Please. When my PM box is full I will send the PDF to the three individuals that have come closest to the Mystery Number. In case of a tie, I may have to give out more than 3 free copies.
Thanks, and good guessing!
Let the lottery begin. Smile
22 spaces left in my PM box.


There are 16 spaces left.

I made some more room. There are 12 left. Smile

I had the pleasure of reading an early copy of "Postcards from the Wizard".
It is indeed a remarkable effect and left me quite perplexed as to how it could be possibly done.

Slim King has worked this all out for you and it is very clever. Caught me by surprise!

Good Luck All...you will really enjoy winning and learning this.

What a cool way to give out an effect!

The word on the street is that all those who choose the number 666 will not win but will have a very strange dream tonight to post in the Dreamers Awake thread.

I'm up early for a gig at The House of Blues. All 22 lottery positions have been filled. Some of you PM'ed but forgot to choose a number . Please do so now. I am at Universal and the HOB both today so I will not be able to return until this evening and get back online.
Thanks everyone.
The fun is just beginning.
:band: Smile Smile Smile



Actually 24 members managed to sign up (Some snuck in on old PM's Smile )
I am really quite amazed. One of you hit it right on the nose!
He also was the tops in another experiment that I did a couple of years ago with three boxes.

First Prize goes to...(Drum Roll...) Corona Smith!!!
His guess was 337 ... exactly the same as Jim Callahan's selection. A pretty good One in One Thousand shot! (Or thereabouts)

Second goes to ... Greg Arse with 328! (Off by 9)

Third Prize goes to ... Magic Lee with 348! (Off by 11)

As I contemplated this today, it seems only fair to award those who actually picked two of the three numbers not in any order (Kind of a different way of looking at it)

Deputy had 374 and Lost Poet had 372 ...
Both will receive Prizes also!

Pleas PM me you email addresses if I don't already have them ... Just to make sure Smile
Thanks for playing.
Hope you enjoy the ride. Smile

Luckily my sealed prediction says I would be off by 9. Smile

And thanks for spelling my name the way most people pronounce it. Smile

Greg.

P.S. It's Arce and pronounced R-C

P.S.S. Your email box is full so you can email me.

Slim,

I just spit coffee all over my keyboard after reading your spelling of Greg's last name! I've known Greg since we were both performing around Miami as teenagers...but that's the first time I've heard his name that way. Greg...you poor (but thick-skinned) man!

Best to you both. Made my night.

The funny thing is that over 50% of time when someone first tries to pronounce it they usually say arse. Second in the running is acre.

Cool idea Slim - I have an idea to turn it into something, dark, evil and monstrous that could get the performer burnt alive or at least chased out of town.... hee hee... I was working on the effect I am talking about from "the other way around" but your effect got me thinking until I can do it a la the film it is based on - the secret method you shared can be used to FREAK PEOPLE OUT BADLY.... PM me or e-mail me... not sure if you like the terrifying... but if so, let's work on it... hint: "I'm there right now..." "that's crazy man"

Beautiful! I love RM Smile... I just PM'd you my DL which I am sure he'll say DON'T USE either Smile

So, that means we must write it up for the bizarrists!

PERKOLATIONS!

Thanks, Slim...you inspire me to get better and compensate for my longgoings with this excellent secret and routine you've honed. My friend, Eman, has solved my dilemme with this. Your postcards are devious and delightfully sound.
