Equinox V2

I just purchased this as the Body Language version is simply too ostentatious - so wondered if anyone can give me their opinion of using this version?

Also, re Body Language, has anyone found the quality of the bag's material drops fast? Mine's already starting to develop a hole in it...

Reviews elsewhere for Equinox are hard to find (the product description sounds like it has a lot going for it) and I'll find out myself when it arrives, but would be great to hear if from experience you've liked this version overall.

It might be too late if you have already bought this... but I find Marc Oberon's OddBall (as I said on the spesific reveiw) if a far superior version and with a bit of partice will be spot on every time.

However I think the key with any effect of this nature is to remember that what the audience will really be trying to suss is how you do the 'fake' trick (whatever you dress the trick up as - who is lying, who is the murderer etc) If you pull off your presentation (sorry I do not know what you will be using the balls for) then they will totally forget about the balls and the bag - the only thing they might think is that you saw who took which one so just make sure you make a big show of looking away!

So, don't put any emphasis on the ball selection just on the later revalation and all should be peachy. Make it seem as though the trick has only started once everyone has a ball - don't even tell them what you are going to do and spin the whole trick out - by the end they will have totally forgotten about the seletion process! (who would suspect a ball...or a bag!! (well apart from magicians)) :D

Hope some of that helps
