yes, it works will in combination with the marble system
i believe i will take the chance and order it what do i have to lose. i will use it with the marble system . keep yall posted later when i start it . had great results with the marble system.During one of the parenting classes I went to at the University (for the study) another parent told me about the 123 magic and said it was an awsome program. I only hesitated due to money. I may try it myself. Good luck with it.
There is a discussion on this in the articles and books section:

It is similar to Ogram's marble system (stickied at the top of the parents board). You can use sticker charts, marbles or tickets to keep track, and customize it to your child.
i have been thinking about ordering this video to see if it works . has anyone tried this technique with their child if so what was the results if any? would it work along with the marble system?I credit this program with saving my sanity a few years back. I never watched the video, but I have the book (it's a very short, easy read). I still keep it on hand to reference and I think I've lent it to nearly every one of my friends and relatives (they were impressed with the results they saw in my son).
It's very simple and the only hard part is being absolutely consistent and biting your tongue when the urge to lecture strikes. It would absolutely work in conjuction with the marble system, and it has some other suggestions as well for positive reinforcement.
