'Quod erat demonstrandum'.

As I said, Pendulum Plus can only be purchased from Black Artefacts, and the price includes the working routine and presentation, and a money back guarantee. Whether you consider the extra £11.50 for the above is worth paying is down to personal choice.

I look at it different, for me this is a strong tool to help me earn a living. For the working pro we tend to look at costs different. All of Keith's items are the very best quality and worth more than he charges.

I'm not fishing for clues here, but I've just one question:
Could I wear the pendulum around my neck and then perform the trick without using the actual mat provided

I know I'd need some kinda mat with markings on, but could I use a beermat, for example, with scribblings on, or is the mat vital for the trick. I know it seems like I'm fishing for clues but I've only so much room in my pockets when I go to the pub

PM me if necessary please

You have a pm

I have one of these too and it's excellent. The weight makes it very easy to use and the whole package looks nice, which is important.

You can, of course, use other things. For example, there's a chain of cheap bookstores (and possibly other places too) that do a range of crystal items, such as keyfobs, necklaces and 'power stones'. One of the necklaces could easily be used as a pendulum. In fact, I bought one for just such a purpose.

You won't be getting all the extra stuff you do with the Black Hart one.

This looks interesting. Can the pendulum be used as a normal pendulum?

Yes.

Keith Hart

Thanks, Keith. I'm a Black Hart virgin at the moment, but I suspect this will not last long.

It's far from uncommon for 'proper' pendulums to contain a compartment. Magicofthemind can probably confirm this; he's an expert on the subject.

In fact, the Black Hart one is a 'proper pendulum'! I think that even a gimmicked pendulum would still work as a 'proper' one.

I don't think you'll regret purchasing from Black Hart, Replicant. Keith offer's not only good service when you order, but follow-up care too, should you need it.

I've been having another good look around the website and while not everything is my style, there are a good number of effects that appeal to me. It seems to me like, in general, most of Black Hart's effects are fairly simple to work in terms of methodology (I'm guessing here, of course, but its's the feeling I get from reading the descriptions) and that it's the presentation that is important here. I like the sound of weaving a story around an effect, especially when there are quality, authentic-looking props to work with. If the performer can create the right atmosphere, I can see these effects going down very well indeed.

Spot on! Keith's effects are very simple and straightforward and he usually supplies a detailed script with each effect which you can adapt to suit your own style very easily. He also offers to take back and arrange refunds if you're not happy with a purchase.

With a cast iron guarantee like that, how can I possibly resist? It has to say something about the quality of the product; I don't know of any other magic dealer with a guarantee like that.
