The Works

[PickaCard]

I've inquired but have had no reply...

[Richard Kaufman]

I hope to receive some news shortly.

I spoke with both of the publishers this last weekend in New Jersey and they said that we should see the next Works by the following week.

[Bibliophage]

New issue arrived!

[PickaCard]

I am now begin to believe the issues are released upon a critical mass of member emails sent to enquire about the "monthly" releases... and one by the Genii to tip the balance.

[Mac Stone]

Another one.

[Richard Kaufman]

I didn't nudge them on the new one. It just appeared!

[PickaCard]

Another brilliant release. I am always happy when they show up in my email.

[AaronSmith]

Issue 12 appeared earlier and from first read through I think it might be one of my favourites.

I noticed there was no ad for the next effect included this time. Does this mean it's the final issue? (I seem to recall somewhere the number '18' issues promised?)

[Arcato]

... and the bonus effect "The Unseen" has not been released either...

[Richard Kaufman]

Original text from the advertisement which I posted on page 1 of this thread (so, yes, items were promised every month for a year and a half, and Unseen was also promised).

When you join you will be sent your complete The Works custom collection delivered via First-Class Mail to anywhere in the world. Every month thereafter you will receive digital instructions for one of the routines, effects or devices in your collection. As you receive instructions for the standup mentalism act, you will also learn the details of how to put the act together, how to make the routines fit your style and persona, updated tips, professional insights and more.

You'll receive at least a year and a half of instructions and routines and perhaps even a little bit more for no additional cost to you. Every month you will learn a piece of strong, practical mentalism you can start performing immediately. In addition you'll receive a “catalog style” description of the effect that will be taught the following month giving you a month of performance and anticipation. At the outset you will receive a box filled with the dozens of special items you will need to perform the routines.

The Works is $350 plus a one-time shipping fee ($15 in USA and Canada, $25 elsewhere). Special Offer: Act now and receive The Unseen.

Only those valued founding members who join in the next 10 days will receive The Unseen: a special routine from Michael Weber and the secret Unseen device all included as part of your collection. This special offer ends 7/14/2016.

[Richard Kaufman]

I would expect that "The Unseen" will only be sent after the final instructions have been sent out (there should be another six). My guess is that there's no teaser for the next one because they haven't decided on what it is yet.

Thanks!
