Thanks for digging this up, yet ANOTHER product I'll think about buying!

So it's a pen? Does it use ink? Will it run out? If so how long does it last? This has been a most confusing topic to read!

On a scale of 1 to 10, how much is this...whatever it is needed in a mentalists toolkit?

Mickey - while I agree that every single discussion of the XPert is cryptic and often incredibly hard to follow - it's not because owners are being cruel. It's really because it is impossible to talk about what the xpert is, without exposing exactly what it does.

I wouldn't call it indispensable, but it's certainly a very useful tool. It can last a very long time (provided you take good care with it), and I do believe Neil will replace the necessary bits and bobs for a nominal fee. Once you know what it is and does, it will certainly open up the floodgates of imagination. Go ahead and give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

I respect the fact that it has been cryptic, I'm against exposure in any form. Knowing that any 'bits and bobs' can be replaced for a nominal fee has kinda settled it for me. I await pay day!

Cheers Demitri!

You might have to scroll down a bit or use CTRL F to find Xpert - there are probably a lot of other sites offering it as well.

Nickels from Kenton Knepper's X

It seems for that trick you can only do it once. IT would be great if it could instantly reset

Does anybody know if replacements (ie without the booklet) are available from any UK supplier?
