"...Haim is a great performer and thinker, with an idea being born every day. You are fortunate today to experience one of his simplest yet most brilliant creations: CRYPTEXT."
- JB, Pro-Magic Inc
The Magician senses a strange feeling of familiarity with an audience member and asks for their name. The audience member's name is written and placed onto the stage for everyone to see. A calculator is taken out and passed around the audience. The Magician asks the first member with the calculator to input any four digit number that has meaning to them and then the calculator is passed on. Numbers and equations are input into the calculator per each passing member. The final digit is totaled. The magician pulls out a sealed envelope with a prediction written before the show. The sealed envelope is passed onto a audience member to verify the envelope is sealed and is asked to read the prediction out loud. The audience member says a name. The same name as the audience member previously written on the board. The last member holding the calculator is introduced onto the stage and is asked to read the number. The magician asks the audience to turn the board with the audience member's name upside down. It is revealed to be a perfect match of the number just given.
Cryptext is a custom designed True-Type font with an interesting property. Type anything you want and adjust the font size to suit your needs. After installing Cyptext on your computer, you will be able to print off special characters quickly and easily. However, It is more effective if you learn to write in this style yourself. This allows you to prepare messages anywhere, even in front of the audience. It also lends an impromptu feel which is not present with type written predictions.
Comes with Glossy, 20-page Photo-Illustrated, Instruction Booklet and CD.

This product is great!
That being said . . . . if you are unfamiliar with the concept of the product, this buy will not give you that killer routine you are looking for. However, if you are already familiar with how this concept can be used then you will want to purchase this. It was easy to install and it works great.
There are a couple of routines that are given and a list of references. However, I see this as a tool more than a trick. You should have a working idea of how to use this concept. I can already tell you that there will be more than a couple of professionals that will be very happy that Haim Goldenberg has taken the work out of coming up with upside down writing.
Highly Recommended
