Anyone ever hear of this? It’s apparently a rare item that uses "high tech" methodology to accomplish glass breaking and PK effects that include making objects tremble. It won’t work on a light bulb, but apparently it will bust glass bottles and wine glasses. A mentalist from NC came to Camp Lejeune and preformed for us. After the show I talked with him a while and he told me about his method he uses to break glass and how it worked. He called it the Banshee device. Didn’t know if this was a once marketed item, or custom made or one of those limited items. The method he described sounds plausible and unique.

Well, there are different ways to achieve that effect. But we obviously can't disclose methods here.
My instinct, though, is that you've been slightly misled. T. |

That's what I thought too....I have 2 PK glass breaking items myself. But from what he described the science behind it could work if done right....W/O saying what it is I have seen my good friend from BAE systems make "something" that emits a "something" and broke glass bottles on his porch for fun. Granted the something was big and in no way concealable on your person, but I think that if you hide it and have an assistant operate it....it may work. I am going to ask him if what this Mentalist described can be done. I will get back to you.

"Here's what we won't do:
Reveal any secrets Reveal other peoples hard work that we learned and give it to you for free (but we will tell you where you can learn it) Be blatant in how we describe the tools of our trade – by that we mean we may well *-out certain terms, words in our posts We do this to protect and honour our art, and also to protect and honour those who came before us and shared so much of their thoughts with us " I have not broken any of the rules that I see. If there is something I am missing please tell me and I will correct it. I think there was a mis-understanding. I was referring to the "something" as a method my BAE friend used to break bottles. It is not a Mentalist prop or utility device; he does not know anything of the craft. He makes weapons for the US Military. It was a stooped down weapon idea he had using science principles to break bottles. |

Are you false-shuffle?
Btw, it looks like this mentalist impressed you to you camp Lejeune, it's great but as it's his job it's logical he didn't want to give you his secret young padawan, isn't it?! I'll respect him and don't give you any clue.

He did show me how it worked. It was similar to the thing my pal used to bust bottles. I don't want to say how it broke them but, yes same way

. It looked pretty impressive though! I realy am not looking for the secret as he already showed me its workings himself. just didn't know if anyone had used it before or if it was a custom built item

Lol all I wanted to know is if other people used this idea/item in their show or if its a new concept for the execution. I realy am not trying to pry here.
