I'm curious - how many who have purchased Blackout use it regularly when performing? I own a Walking Liberty Blackout gimmick and I love the effect but, to be honest, I never use it in performances. While Blackout is totally devious in its design, to me it is good for one vanish and then it is just there for the rest of the time. I feel that to use it more than once is inviting exposure of the trick.
Thanks! Jim |

Hi J-Mac,
I know what you mean but I do think is can be structured for use in more than one vanish. This is very easy to retreive from its station and can also be used for a production. I'm working on a one coin routine that brings this in and out a couple of times. Using it as a convincer more than anything. Kind regards Sean |

Thanks Sean. I know that when Blackout was introduced everyone was posting about how they loved it and how they were using it. However like so many such gimmicks/gaffs, it didn't take long for the posting to stop and I was wondering by now if many were still using Blackout regularly in their acts. Or if it was only popular when it was new and had been stashed away to make room for "the next big thing".
:) Thank you. Jim |

It just got an exceptionally good review on the Wizard Product Review show.
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

I have got some stuff that I want to try out with it! But I need to get some of the flok stuff that is on the back of the coin in cloth. So I can make a hard close-up pad out of it! I have had it for some time! And was going to do some stuff with it. But so many outher things came up!

It will fade away onto your black coin purse or wallet. It will become a shadow and melt into your tee shirt. Tabled work using it is not a big deal - but to be fair IMHO it's more useful in the hands like in EG or to hide your windows in FP or Purse Palm.

No Contact Paper would be a going backwards! And I have played with As you say " Any thing dark" IE. a black close up pad And I do not like the look! It may "Get By" as some say, But it's not right!
And I am not ready to Give up On tabled stuff Yet! I think there is some cool stuff there! Not that I will not play with some stand-up stuff. I will! But I don't think you should just toss away tabled stuff that Quickly! I think there could be great stuff there! Like for the frist and the fouth coins in a mult. coin routine! Ok well you go your way and I will will go mine! |

Been looking at this for some time - ordered the half dollar today as a result of the WPR. Those boys cost me a darn fortune!

Gaffed,
A Blackout ] would enable you to show a coin on both sides and then vanish it. |

If you have not explored real BA before - your issue is going to be relative illumination/lighting (also perhaps angle-distance). You can manage the some of the contrast by putting something bright colored or actually illuminated around your mat or working area and then making sure ambient light does not cast any edge shadows - that means light from on top and/or light from around the sides pointing UP (toward audience). It's a stage lighting thing but there are guys here who know that stuff cold. If you can control or set up the lighting it will help both to hide things when they are supposed to be hidden and to make things visible when you want them visible. Imagine a shadow/well about an inch over your mat. That's what things fade away into. Once you have some BA working - things like the tiddlywinks change can be pretty darn cool. but again - distance and lighting - at the bar or right place is perfect else you have to set up some lighting and restrict your audience.
