Hi there guys/gals,

I have not been on this forum for a long time, but im sure i will be on more often these days. Im looking at several different effects just now that im thinking about buying and was wondering if anyone can give me some tips or pointers on what to avoid etc....

Ofcourse i do not wish to know how these effects are done, Im just wanting to know if they are of good value. Every year upon my return from blackpool I always have tons of stuff i never use. (im sure you can sympathise?).

So, here are the effects I was looking at.

Window - David Stone, i have read in places that the gimmick that comes with it is fairly obvious, good for video, but not live...

The iDeck - this looks like alot of fun!

Shake out?

Im also looking into a topit, i dont know if i fancy the David Penn one or not, I was at a lecture years ago in Glasgow by Michael Ammar and he showed how to construct a working topit.

Exhile - David Blaine, Again, im worried i will buy this, open it up and think..."what was the point"?

ParaLie - Joshua Quinn.

Emotional Intelligence - Luke Jermay.

Also, can anyone remember an effect called "Time Trix" or similar, a watch with a mercury switch?


thanks in advance guys......also if you could recommend any new and pretty fabby effects i should look at.
