Hi,

Apologies if this has been discussed or reviewed elsewhere, but I did a search and found no such posts!

Just wondering if anyone has seen this or purchased it? Some of the effects sound excellent. I appreciate it is an expensive piece of kit, and so not for everyone, but your thoughts would still be appreciated.

thanks.

I LOVE this device. As long as you bought from the later less glitchy batch you essentially have a device that can be used for some truly spectacular effects.

It has one sizeable downside, you have to be very careful when you perform it,
you are putting £200 of equipment into the hands of a spectator in the form of something which looks ordinary, unimportant and inexpensive. Having performed a minor miracle with the gimmick one day my spectator felt the need to squeal and jump and toss the da*n gimmick into the air. It DID survive however, they are quite hardy, but now i wince every time I place it in a hand or a beer comes too close etc.

Thanks CutToTheAce, just what I wanted to hear!
What's your favourite effect to use this device for? I do a lot of restaurant work so I'd be wanting to use it in this environment.

sooo many uses, from a simple coin in hand routine, to my "spectator detects your lies" routine, hands off find the hidden object routines. Doubles as a thumper device for use by a confederate. Love it.

The advertised thought of card named routine is not workable though, not either version, it's just plain not reliable enough every time.
