This is the effect that fooled Penn & Teller..
Please note construction is required and you will need to gimmick your shoe to perform Confab-Shoe-Lation
Richard has taken the confabulation plot to new heights of impossibility with their shoe reveal!
Richard has been performing Confab-Shoe-Lation in his stand-up act for well over a year and then decided it would be the ideal effect to fool Penn & Teller on national TV.
Effect
Imagine your spectators can name any 3 items and you have predicted them correctly in a note that you have kept safe in your shoe from the beginning of the show.
On this DVD Richard Bellars and Tom Swift (who is the co-creator of the effect) take you step by step through every aspect of the effect, including how to create the gimmick with your own shoe.
Vegas Vacation
This is the routine Richard Bellars and Peter Nardi devised for Richard�s corporate shows. It�s a great 3 phase routine using an imaginary trip to Vegas as the premise. After your spectators have played 3 popular casino games you reveal your prediction from your shoe. The prediction takes the form of a bill with all the scores written on the back.

Question: Hi,
When you right "this can be performed with out an assistant" that means no one is assisting to write the prediction and its the permormer that is doing eveything writing folding and placing the prediction in real time ?
Mike
Answer: Yes that is what we mean the method for doing this is on the dvd
Question: Can this effect be done whilst wearing a trainer/sports shoe?
Answer: Not currently But Richard is working on the method which would be almost the same just made differently
Question: Hi there,
Just two questions
When will it be in stock and sent if I pre-order?
Also, when you say you have to gimmick a shoe( without giving stuff away of course) do you ' ruin ' your shoe? I mean can you still use it day today as a 'shoe'?
Also can you use it tablehoping/ walkaround, I mean are angles an issue?
Opps sorry that's more than a couple of questions

Answer: This can be performed without an assistant
Question: Without going into any exposure - would I have the requirement of an assistant - or can this be performed as with the original Confabulation as a one man (or woman!) act?
Cheers,
Paul.
