I recently learned Well Oiled reset from classic magic of LJ and I love the handling of the routine and it's cleanness. But, there's a problem in the routine where you have to elsmley count like 8 cards cards which I've had a bit of trouble with. But then a friend (Magician Mike Robinson) told me that he came up with a better handling of the effect and it's just as clean. Also, setup is easier to remember. For those of you who are interested here is a link:

"Well Oiled Reset" is incorrectly described in Classic Magic. A correct description will appear in Mr. Jennings Takes It Easy.

OK I'm buying your book just for the correct description. When will it be on the market?

2009, but it will be worth the wait: 600 pages.

Richard can you post a correct description of well oiled reset that will be in your new book like you did with simple thought card to pocket?

No, sorry, it's too long and has needs lots of photos.

Dang it.

YouTube?

2009... drat. That's the worst piece of news I've heard today.

You only have one chance to get all this stuff right, and it's better to take the time. There's nothing worse than trying to follow a written description and discovering it's screwed up. I've made this mistake myself in the past and try not to repeat it in the future!

Not Sure what you're talking about Jonathan.

I wonder whats incorrect? Because I've followed the directions as written, and the trick seems to work fine.

Same Here.

The trick works, but that doesn't mean the techniques are properly explained. Subtle details that make it much better are missing. Also, just because the trick works, doesn't mean that it was Jennings' best handling of it.

Is there any further updates on the release of this please?

No updates of any substance: other projects have taken my time recently. The good news is that I've found someone to take the photos, which is a big weight off my mind. Now I just have to finish the editing.
