I've been here a while now, but this is my first actual review seeing as I have a day off school today.
Available from: http://www.ellusionist.com, http://www.penguinmagic.co.uk, http://www.magictricks.co.uk most magic retailers
Cost: I got mine from Penguin and I had a 10% discount, so for me it was about £37. Most other places, about £60-£70 mark.
Difficulty
(1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)
1-2, because there aren't actually any "sleights". I'll explain in a minute.
They Say:
The Pro PK Kit (a.k.a. The New Micro 5) - Your spectators will scream. This REACTION MACHINE will enable you to perform the most powerful street and mentalism effects in the world. Easy to use. Highly Recommended!!!
"You could start a religion with this!"
Make matches stand in a spectator's hand, stop watches, move objects with your mind and much, much more!!!
People will believe you are a real psychic!
For over 10 years magicians around the world have been whispering about the Three Hundred Dollar Micro 5...
This incredible tool is finally available to magicians of all levels... at a price that makes it very hard to resist!
The Pro PK Kit includes the Micro 5 PK magnet, the thinnest & most powerful PK magnet available, with a lifetime guarantee. No other PK magnet is as thin and as strong. Thin enough to conceal on your wrist, under a coat, yet strong enough to penetrate the thickest hands and tables.
I say
"Whoah!!" My first words once I opened the box and took out the massive magnet. It was already showing its power by messing up the tv from a few feet away. I have never seen a magnet so powerful, the pennies on the table were literally flying to it.
A little word of warning first, do not but this god of magnets by any little magnets...ahem..for example a PK ring [which I stupidly did]. My ring was already broken in 2, but then I thought 2 magnets should attract from a further distance than pennies; so I put it about 30cm away from the ring in the air and it was moving...I slowly went closer and the ring just jumped it, smashing it


I've played with this for awhile, it got do a load of effects. I have a metal pen pot, I placed it on the table, with my M5 strapped to my leg, and it could easily move it. I made it go round then fall. My 8 year old brothers eyes just lit up, and started jumping up and down

Easily make pennis stand on top of each other, then hold the top one and spin the bottom, shim a pen and make it spin, make a fork on your plate move; I was doing that at school and "accidently" threw my food across the table...unintentionally of course

What you get
The actual M5, its 2" x 2" x 0.5" smaller than the Monster Bertha.
I dont know how it compares with the Bertha in power, but I would reckon its the same?
A book with 80ish routines
They are all pretty much repeats of them selves anyway, if not quite easy to think of anyway. Just limited by your imagination
A manuscript of additional routines
Well a piece of paper with some things on telling you the warnings, how to strap it on etc.
2 'brass' rings
Well...self explanatory. Haven't actually used them to perform, seriously, who caries 2 brass rings with them anyway? I use keyrings instead more casual and everyone has them!
A Shim Shell Coin
Too bad its an American penny, but has its uses. Oh, and comes with 2 normal American pennies too.
Shimming supplies
"Supplies" they make it sound like alot dont they? Its about 2" by 4". Not much at all. And a bit of shim wire, quite a bit more with the wire.
A custom wrist strap
Not that good, but it does its job, its just a piece of black elastic, with a pocket in that holds the M5 and is "fastened" by a safety pin.
Overall
Brilliant. First time into the PK world really, next to the PK ring which is like an ant compared to an elephant. Very powerful, lots of effects and just great to play with too


I have to say one of the best buys in a while. DO read the warnings. Do do what it says...unlike me...who nearly broke my new k800i...and seriously don't put it by anything electrical. Oh stay away from radiators, metal table legs and the like...it was strapped to my wrist and flung onto the table in a lesson

Long story made short, great effectS. Use your imagination. Powerful.
Buy it! Even if your not into PK effects...buy it!

Price: 8/10 depending on where you buy it and if you pay £70 for it
Effects: 9/10
Overall:- 9/10 you just stick to everything lost its 1 mark

So how bad was my first review?
