"Lovely, Lovely. Volition is great." Jan Forster

"Joel, this is genius! There were a few times while reading the routine ["Foreseen"] when a big smile appeared on my face. This is a brilliant routine and finally a "which hand" type routine that I want to perform! No logic puzzles or gimmicks, just very clever construction of a routine that is not only easy, but practically impromptu!" Iain Moran

"Joel has really moved forward the "which hand" plot. This is a very elegant solution, with some clever thinking and efficient routining." Marc Paul
