a short wait and you will know, as no one is likely to post a pic. Just be patient.

Nice one Zack !,

I have found a picture which shows the "internal working" of the M5.

Hope this helps :wink:

Nice one guys - well done!

That looks like one of those fakes tanks as used by Maskelyne in WW2 - they were knitted by the Women's Institute. Apparently you can get a Patton for them. :shock:

I thought that the magician in the tank picture was standing a little too close for the enlarged russian roulette routine.

I also hear that there's a new variation of the M5 from January 4th next year and it's been named 'the contraflow system'. Apparently you start the trick at the beginning and before reaching the end you perform everything in 15 second segments and stand still for 30 minutes between each segment.

Sound's exciting as it will take up to an hour to complete a 3 minute trick.

It's not really an optical illusion - it just looks like one!
