You can be naked other than shoes & have the deck put into someone else's jacket & have the card appear from you shoe. It definetly turns effects up to 11.

I received my Extractor today.

First impressions - I like it, its a beautiful utility prop, but the deck feels ever so slightly "tight" (those who have this will know what I mean) Is this something that will loosen up with time?

Also, my gimmick has a prediction on it!!! The barcode says "You will choose the Queen of Hearts". Is this just mine, or is everybodies like that? Seems pointless having a prediction on it to be honest!!

Yeah—that kind of makes it stink like a gimmick, dunnit!

So is it just mine... or does everybody have it on their gimmick?

I must admit, I do love the effect, but was slightly meffed to discover a routine based on my previously released "Stuntman" on the DVD!!!

Mine has a prediction too, can't remember off the top of my head which one. Is it anything to do with the Masters Deck box? Is this box slightly wider perhaps?

i wouldn't bother using it for any effects, it would increase the wear & tear.

Mine has a prediction aswell which I will never use but this is probably the best gimmick I have purchased over the last 2 years. It is a great prop with so many uses and is so easy to create great routines yourself it is just so versatile and very very simple to use with very little card handling experiance.

People who give out good reviews should be banned!

James got me to purchase Coinvexed, and well...lets just say I have about 2 pounds worth of bent coins, and my hands smell of copper.


But seriously, its on my list! Right after I start learning some more of the basics/ground work of magic!

You can probably get some money back by selling the coins to a scrap metal dealer!

Ha ha, I've just put them in my draw.

Being learning a fair few card tricks, I under estimated the power of card tricks, and being researching 'The Extractor'.

Looks mind blowing, I've just purchased it.

A few questions, I've being trying to come up with how it is done, obviously I wont say but.

- Is the deck examinable?
- Is there any switches involved
- Is the gimmick/trick, the deck? As a card is signed from the deck(Why I ask the question above) so maybe a force is used?
- Can this really be done naked?

The best way to know how it' done is to buy it.

You have seen a video clip for it - it plays as nice as that. This really is an excellent product - even if you you how, it probably wouldn't be time effective to recreate - so if you like the premise of the effect - then I can recommend you buy it.

One of the best products of the year (imho).

Well I purchased it this evening, next day delivery, so should expect it about Wednesday. Is there a forum where routines and such can be described for after I buy it?

There is a dvd which come's with it and there are plenty of routine's on there.

Cheers for your replies, looks like its going to be one of those weeks where I'm excited for the post:)
Look forward to seeing what possibles are available aswell, to maybe create my own version of it!

You won't be disappointed with this purchase.

Well on Saturday, weather was poor, so had drive through to magicbox, picked up an extractor. At this point wasnt sure if it was for me and if i could make it be worth the money to me.

Got home, popped in the dvd had a watch of it, and then tried it out see how simple it was, after an hour or so, got the finacee to watch as I ran through a quick card to pocket, and to my surprise even though i though i had done it a bit poor, she never suspected a thing.

this soon made me understand that the money I had just spent was well worth it.

Although I haven shown a routine using it to any one else yet as i still require more practice, I allready see many uses for it.

Really happy with my purchase.
