This item was discussed at great length on 'another' forum last year where one of the Moderators was anxiously trying to sell his Pocket Akana but, the last time I checked the thread in July, had no takers due to the high cost involved. Basic assessment was that it was more suited to full time professionals who could justify the cost and use the Akana on a regular basis rather than we 'umble amateurs or part timers.

Hmm interesting website. It might be worth moving this thread to one of the secrets sections as just by looking at the aforementioned website provides answers to how the effects are done. And many of these I'm sure are presented on tv magic shows I'm sure.

Wish I had an unlimited budget as these are awsome props. But an average price of £600 - £4000 puts this well out of my league.

Mind you the £100 compass trick looks good. Can anyone review this at all?

regards,
Valentino

Hmm, didn't spot this when it first came up but I remember sometime last year seeing an identical post somewhere about it (ok I'm not sure that it was identical but the wording is very familliar, especially the 'It seems a little expensive. Say me your opinion' bit) I hope you aren't trying to advertise this effect kolash?!

Ah, the reason I remembered it was that it was posted here, and was in fact the first post by magic_kolash, word for word the same, methinks we have an advertiser here! The only difference was that it was posted with a more complete title than the single letter used for this one.
