Nice work with the watch Jeff - it's electromagnetic correct?

Thanks..
I made this remote unit to work with the CW/Viking Perfect Time watch (reed switch model) only.........not normal watches. The watch in the video is a PT watch, I just took the components out and put them in a watch that suits my style. 😎 Jeff |

I do a lot of computer work, fixing, repairing and programming in the Java, C, and .NET worlds. Lately I've been working on tying tiny MCU (micro-controller) devices to larger PCs via wireless or serial. I think small MCUs are MADE for magic effects, as they are self-contained and really, really small. An MCU as big as a coin cell battery can run on that battery-and even be wireless! I've had about a dozen loose/fuzzy ideas in mind with geared down (30rpm) mini-motors and servos to achieve close-up illusions, but I want to make something someone can actually use. So I want to solicit ideas for what could be of real use, make one, and see if they like it. In that sense, I'm l;ooking for partners who know the effect, and I will make the method. So can you share what kinds of devices (large or small) you have envisioned that need to come into the world as a prototype? If you wish, I'm open to PMs. That goes for any-/everyone else! Quote:
One device that I have contemplated over the years is a Cup & Ball table that used a carousel under the table that could be indexed to align with black art holes in the table. A small elevator device could bring about some amazing productions/transformations. I am keenly interested in what you envision the spectator experience to be. I'm truly a solver/creator, with only about 30% imagination! One idea I have is modeled after Fred Kaps' 'floating wine cork' in a box. He had a typical filament from a ring, and it was sold commercially. Instead of this static version, I'm thinking of mono-filament to a card via ortho/magician's wax, spinning in 'mid air', but slowly (~30rpm, for example). The speed could be adjusted based on light, sound, even remote... The card is easily removed for a souvenir (as Fed did with the cork), or used as a way to show their selected card, or... For all I know, it might look goofy. The concept is centered around the effect changing with no physical motion of the performer. You know, the other hand tugging up & down, and no threads attached to walls, etc....impromptu/do-anywhere effects. What are your thoughts?

You'd have to come up with proto-types that demonstrate your ideas and go from there. Also, there are already devices that can do what I think you're describing like tarantula II for example and there are a few more. If you haven't already, you should check them out and see if you improve on them.
This is a good place to start, because there are people always wanting help with electronics and methods. I'll PM you with my project idea, it's an advancement of my watch remote. Jeff |

Looking forward to it, Jeff! I'll share with you my next project, levitating beyond strings & wires!

I do a lot of electronic development and currently have products that I'm selling to Pro's around the world. If you ever have questions around design or coding I'm here to help. I do a lot of RF and Bluetooth stuff. I also do custom work for magicians.

I guess a couple of years ago I started a Facebook page just for this:'Electronic and Mechanical Magic". It is a cool place for discussion and highlight what you have...
