Thanks for the advice chaps. I'm worried about them running out and not being able to find replacements. If it was something more standard then it would not be a problem.

The Outlaw sounds to me to be a worthwhile investment for peeks but I'll probably end up getting both what with having a curious mind.

I must admit the Oulaw wallet is getting some good reviews.

I still think the transmitter is a total baffler and as its examinable will always be one I carry around.

All I can say is that BOTH of mine ran out in under two years. Perhaps I didn't use them often enough? If that's the reason, then they aren't necessarily suitable to the amateur preformer (unless you insist on showing absolutely everybody you meet that you can read minds).

Irrespective of whether refills are readily available, and they are hardly easy to get, why take the risk of it running out at just the wrong time?

I loved the Thought Transmitter when it worked. Much prefer the SAW, though.

Really I would learn some nice Billet peeks and the likes and a few switch and reads then a wallet. Why would you have a bit of paper then zip it up in your wallet?

Get switch craft you will not need a wallet at all.

I am master of misdirection, look over there.

We are not falling out young Welshy, we are debating, I think farlsy is an idiot he thinks I am one. We are just talking about who is the bigger idiot.

I agree billets are number one for me aswell. I've had my transmitter a few months now so cant really comment on its lifespan but its a real nice change from the norm and the reactions I have had so far are excellent, and the reactions are really how I know if an effect is worth it.

The thought transmitter is a great idea, although I've always felt that it is incomplete. The idea could be implemented so much better and with much more quality. The idea behind the peek is brilliant but I've made several modifications to mine to try and make it better. Now I don't really bother with it.

The Son of Mindscan pad is great also. Completely innocent looking, really effective piece.

Hey,

Are any of you familiar will Post Impressions by Sean Fields? It's contained in his Explicit Content book. Opinions?
