Something about a box and people examining it or something. I have tried rereading Jon's original post and I still have no idea what he is trying to sell.
Just as I was about to grasp it I became distracted by Alfred saying that horrible book by Henning Nelms is a "must have" book" I consider it a "must not have book" and I have been biased against it my whole life. When I was young and stupid I believed every word in it and it damn near gave me a nervous breakdown trying to implement what it said. Thank God I realised in time that it was a complete load of tosh and I was highly delighted to find out years afterwards that Nelms had never done a magic show in his life and was talking out the back of his neck the whole time. I was further delighted to read that veteran and highly respected pro magician Geoffrey Durham AKA "The Great Sorprendo" state that the book was "sterile and unhelpful"
Still, that is another subject entirely and I had better not go off at a tangent. Somebody explain to me what this bloody trick is about or post a video of it or something. I had better find out what all the fuss is about before I comment. I will merely say for the moment that I DO find that laymen like to examine things although in a professional setting you have more leeway for not letting them do it. The trouble is that if you don't let them do it they might get suspicious concerning the prop. Of course that may be a good thing because of the too perfect theory.
Anyway I have no idea what I am babbling about and will have to reserve judgement until I can figure out what the product actually is. The copy of the ad must be bloody awful if I have gone over it several times and still can't figure out what the damn product is. The testimonials are very effective though although I never believe a word of the testimonials I read. I know perfectly well it is friends recommending friends and the mutual admiration society at work.
I shall comment once I know what I am commenting about.
