Mr. Riggs has done it again! From the fertile mind of John Riggs comes yet another wonder of information capture. Yes it's an impression device, but this time so understated as to allay any suspicions. As the picture at the right shows it's a simple note pad that is sold in many stores such as Wal-Mart (c) and Office Max etc (c) To go further, because of the movies people have seen where the "detective" rubs a second sheet left behind to find a imprint of what was written on the top sheet, Mr. Riggs has made it so sensitive  that you can get the impression through two or more sheets. He suggest that after your subject writes and tears off that sheet, that you tear out the next sheet and throw it away saying, "Just in case something remains behind!" The peek is in real time as it was with the Skeeter and Brown Hornet Jr., both of which are no longer available.

This is a must for your coat or shirt pocket. You will be ready at all times. The gimmick is movable to a new pad which can be bought at the stores listed above and others near you.

When I introduced the Brown Hornet to the mentalist world, it was called a "Quantum Leap in mentalist's Clipboards."  I designed the Brown Hornet to provide an instant-access means to obtain information -- that is; to got the information during the show.  However, many performers have used the Brown Hornet as a Pre-show device.  In my opinion, the Hornet is best used during the show, when you have better audience management, and there's less risk of the participant accidentally opening the board. More history: For decades, the state-of-the-art preshow board has been Nelson's Ultra-Perfect clipboard, but what's up with that weird clip?  It looks like nothing you see in the real world.  So, to make a long story short, I decided to go to the drawing board and use the Hornet technology to make the perfect preshow clipboard.

The Cicada is the result.  It has a natural-looking clip that's easily removable in about fifteen seconds -- yet is IMPOSSIBLE for an audience member to remove while drawing a picture or writing a word -- does not use carbon paper for the information-capturing device (it uses the same sensitive technology as the Hornet, so you don't ever have to replace anything) and looks completely like a regular Masonite board that you would buy at any office store for a dollar.  In fact, it's a twin for the Brown Hornet. It gives clear, reliable impressions, resets quickly, and there's no way that audience members can accidentally open the unit or stumble upon the secret.  The internal mechanism is recessed, so there's never any tell-tale bulge.  The outer surface is thin but durable, to maximize the clarity of the impression. In my opinion, this is the most nearly-perfect and natural  looking preshow clipboard that's ever been designed.  When you see the internal mechanism, you'll chuckle with an evil delight!
