But the nomads were already waiting for them. Rheinland, Liberty, Kusari and Bretonia decided to send their fleets to get this system under their control. Containing one planet and over 20 Jumpgates to Nomad systems, Liberty systems, Borderworld systems and many unknown systems it's a major threat for all houses. It was the main reason for the rising Nomad activities in the whole Sirius sector.
When they entered this system the first time they were shocked.
CROSSFIRE CANNOT ALTTAB PROFESSIONAL
Here is a totally professional piece of equipment that, if you are a serious mentalist, you cannot afford to be without.A few months ago a Rheinland explorer found a new Jumpgate to a hidden system in Omicron Alpha. There is no way you can fail to stun your audience with Crossfire if you pay attention to the fully explained instructions that Chris has painstakingly laid out. The books themselves are perfectly produced and look just like what you would find on the shelves of Barnes and Noble. It is flexible and allows you to tailor the presentation to your own needs and style. See, this is what I love so much about it. Actually, you can just do it with one or two if you like. Using a very classic idea (but one not produced before in this way) you are able to read the minds of 4 to 8 spectators as cleanly and directly as possible. "Chris Philpott's Crossfire Book Test is a thing of beauty! This kind of prop is right up my alley. The copy of Peter Pan appears identical to the one used in The Tossed Out Book Test ("Frankly, if this had been mine, I would not have sold it, but kept it for myself." - Richard Osterlind), so the two effects can be used together. While the book is small enough to fit in your back pocket, the effect is big enough to wow a large theater! But then in a surprising revelation, he shows he's predicted all the other words as well (see video for details). In the end, he's only got half the words right. Half the words are nailed quickly and precisely, but with the others, the performer can't seem to name the precise word although he always gets close (like saying "Leg" instead of "Limb", "Cask" instead of "Cork"). The performer shows his board: he has written "Lacking".īut as he moves on, he faces some difficulties: some people are resistant to mind reading. He asks the spectator to name her word: "Lacking". I'm sensing an absence, something missing." He writes a word on a white board or pad. Without asking a single question, the performer quickly rattles off several details about the word: "I'm getting nothing.
Then, in a manner similar to the multiple card selection (one of the greatest effects in magic), between 3 and 7 more people also call stop as you riffle, and they think of a word. The performer riffles through the book - a spectator calls stop the performer stops exactly on that page and has the spectator remember a word (no peeks). Every page appears different (they are), and ungimmicked (they are not). The performer shows a copy of one of the most magical books ever written: Peter Pan. This not only features some incredibly clean mind-reading, but also features a surprise twist kicker ending! Looks like I am going to put this book test into my act."Ĭrossfire is a fast, clean, and stunning new book test, in which you read the thoughts of between 4 and 8 spectators (no process, no writing and no fishing!). Crossfire is a great book test for workers.
"I love the 'hidden' revelations that are out there, and the audience doesn't see it until you show them. The hard part will be in appearing to be humbled while knowing the knockout finish that awaits. Chris Philpott has created something that will stun and delight an audience and, like all good movies, there's a moment of seeming failure before the heroic triumph. "The Crossfire Book Test is so clean and clever I ordered it before I even finished reading the original ad copy. David Blatter ( America's Got Talent finalist) It's literally a standing-ovation-causing show closer! If you are a serious student of mentalism, Crossfire is a must have. "When I saw Chris perform this at the Magic Castle, I told him to keep this for himself. So many ideas come to mind for how we can use it!" "This is an excellent effect! Crossfire gives you a great surprise reveal at the end, making it different from any other book test. "This is the type of routine lay audiences love! Crossfire is mind reading with an incredible kicker that your audience won't see coming - but will never forget!" "As per usual, Chris Philpott has thought of it all." -Payne, M-U-M Magazine
