Let me start by saying how overwhelmed I feel trying to tell others about this system without exposure. I'll just say the following:
We are all SO blessed that Chris (whom I've never met) would go to great lengths to allow us to have access to something truly special AND making it affordable. I'll never forget how big an explosion went off at the Magic Castle when this became available. The ability to mark ANY card or .... well. I'll just say the product you will receive will allow you so many decks to make and the way you want them. Lastly, do yourself a favor and buy the booklet too. You'll be glad you did.

This manuscript is interesting...perhaps a little overpriced though. It takes you through a short history of the BOON, different ways to use it, including a truly bizarre thought using a wristwatch and another with a tie. Both very clever thoughts.
The wristwatch idea would be an insane way to do a variant of Karrel Fox's LITTLE RED TABLE.
Good read.

This is a fantastic resource for the close-up magician. At almost 1400 pages, there is a wealth of information and effects here. I've had it for a year and don't think I have yet plumbed its depths. Here are just a few names I recognized as I leafed through the pages (and I edited this list down from double the number): Ross Bertram, Alex Elmsley, Andrew Galloway, Roberto Giobbi, Phil Goldstein, Larry Jennings, Simon Lovell, Juan Tamariz, Roy Walton. Here you'll find the original text of Tony Corinda's "The Powers of Darkness". Here are several Barrie Richardson effects with his extensive attention to detail. I can heartily recommend Fred Robinson's detailed write-up on the Faro shuffle: after years of being able to complete it only haphazardly, I can now do it perfectly (albeit still slowly) every time. I recommend this as one of the best bargains in magic.
