An original solution the classic Open Prediction plot or 'the Curry Unsolved Card Problem'. This is a homage to Paul Curry and Stewart James, with a respectful nod to other solutions or variations created over the years.
This version involves no stooging/instant stooging and can be done with a borrowed deck (or borrowed decks) I would also argue it meets all the "conditions" of Open Prediction but then again I don't really believe in conditions for magic tricks - conditions are for scientific experiments! Magic tricks are deceitful by nature... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg9cQdGUkfI Full details of the project including subsequent version are available on my website, https://jnmagic.blogspot.com |

Hello, is anyone in the community (Someone that everyone here knows) that can attest they know you and trust you ? For a kickstarter it would be useful

Hey Dreda,
I have spoken to Jerry before through email in the past. He is a really knowledgeable person, as well as super smart as well. Plus the kickstarter goal is cheap if you ask me. I have told Jerry I will happily donate a lot more than what he is asking for, for the PDFs. I am excited to take a look at this, and learn and study it, and save it for those special occasions. I trust Jerry, and he is not in it for the money, for what I know so far, his version of 51 Faces North ticks all the boxes. Thanks Alex Alejandro

I also have backed the project. I have a bi-weekly gig at a local bar & Grille. I have been using Mick Ayer’s “In plain sight” to great succes and reactions. But with many regulars, it’s time to retire that effect and utilize a new one. I’m not looking for a holy grail, just a good open prediction that can happen mostly in the spectators hands and crate a great moment of entertainment for the customers. I’m looking forward to this open prediction.

Hey guys,
So I have now taken a look at Version 1.1 (from the video), after paypaling Jerry some money earlier today. I want to properly review it, so in the next couple of days I will do so. I have a magic convention this weekend that I organize with some of the best talent from around the globe, so I will try to do it before then. Thanks Alex

I have never backed a KS project and ones I have looked at had physical product goals. What does the backing lead towards? A published physical book, video tutorials?
Your Risks and challenges state (and I am paraphrasing) ...to prevent piracy and plagiarism and to help you keep creating. Please forgive my ignorance, how does a Kickstarter prevent the piracy and plagiarism? How does it help keep ones creativity? By the looks of things, you have a winning project and I don't understand why an asking price is not offered. Future updates would be shared with those that purchased it. For example Elliot Bresler's SWITCH CRAFT, a one time purchase, yet he updates his work and those that have purchased his e-book (e-tome) receive them. New purchasers get the current revision. What is the difference if a person backs with $5 vs. $25 vs. $50? If your project does not meet expected goals it will be a financial loss to you and all backers will have gained from your efforts. Please don't look at this as being negative, I am just wanting to understand before I back your project. |

So my thoguth was, if I can gurantee myself a certain amount (eg £1000) that's probably what I would have sold the effect for if I was selling exclusively. So if I can raise that from a KS then I don't mind what happens therafter, I'll still continue to sell but if it inevitably ends up on some rogue site then I won't be as bothered as I'll have made what I felt it was worth anyway. Sorry, but I hate piracy and the modern way of trying to find things online for free or cheap. As for what backers will get, this is laid out in the KS page. There are 3 tiers for £15/£20/£25 - the first is the core effect as shown in the video, the mid one includes a second effect, the 3rd includes 3 further additional effects (all described on the page). All will be sent in the form of pdf documents. If the KS fails there is no real financial loss, to my knowledge all the pledges are returned and I don't get anything, it didn't cost anything to set up (except time!) so nothing is lost. In the event it does fail, I plan to offer to sell directly to all those who backed it. Hope that makes sense |

I have a feeling reading between the lines from Alex's review that it does'nt always look as good as in the video.
But I backed it! I have wasted a lot more than 15 bucks on a lot less!

Does the £25 pledge include 0.1 version or only 1.1-1.4?
