Hi
Just a quick note to all of you here on the Café, The Proximity Stash Lighters I make and sell are cut down and reworked to a size which measures around 6cm long this is the minimum I can cut down the lighter and still have the bottom cap hold in place very well. A few people have asked if I can make the lighters smaller due to different hand sizes etc. Unfortuantley I have tried this and it completley ruins the lighter as the bottom end cap will not stay in place and the lighter looks very unrealistic and looks like a gimmick and not a natural object!!! To insure the quality of my work I with regret will not be able to make the lighters any smaller than 6cm. Although I don't have very big hands and the lighters work just fine for me. But I wanted to make this point clear. Many thanks and sorry I can not help all who have asked about shortening the lighters less than around 6cm.

Would you be willing to maybe make a Bic stash lighter for me with a mini Bic mentalis? At a cost of course
 I would make one myself if I had shop space along with a hacksaw.

In the end I am still iffy as to the end cap of the bic lighters - I worry that it will come out and I will lose the tag. The screw type stash lighters are definitely a safer option. However I am going to continue to work out a way to use a bic! Mentalis sent me pics of is gum - pretty darned impressive! I only wish that our packets here looked like that, I would have jumped at one! |

Hi Luke
If you find a gum packet similar but used in Aus let me know as I could let you know how to de-foil if needed and send instructions of how to apply it to the gimmick!!! This also stands for anyone else with this concern.

Ok guys, I'm going to post the link to my flickr with images of the "gum gimmick" I've been using since the prototype Prox tags with the little physically extruding antennas
 It will be in the Promystic forum, watch out for it folks, watch out for it (ETA is about an hour from the time this post gets posted). DIY, very low tech, completely innocent. I don't know about other countries but this one is perfect for US based users The cost to make is the cost of a pack of bubblegum and it literally takes about 10-15 minutes to make one.

Just a quick note to let all who are interested in my, The Proximity Gum Gimmick I have now tweaked the design and managed to lose a whole cm in length so the gimmick now measures in at around 4.5cm and fits in the hand (for which hand type effects) VERY nicely I will post new pics on craig's forum ASAP!!!

Well I got my Proximity!
This is crazy, I'm speechless. Craig is not an electronic hobbyist so you can't go wrong with this. Your reviews are 100% correct, thank you all. Craig thank you for being so honest and being concerned with your customers. Never got an email from a dealer asking me if I need help or just to know how I'm doing with the product. Great customer service!!! |

Anyone ever had any on say any thing about the noise? I know it's not loud but I have a gig tonight and it's for a smaller group. Usually I perform for larger groups and I am up front further away or in a walk around situation where there is abit of noise but this gig is going to be a lot more up close and personal. Maybe I'm jsut nervous about it and thinking to much because I know about it?

The only time I was caught was performing this for my wife in the evening. She was in bed and she heard it vibrate. There was no TV on and very quiet.
I'll understand if you all want to take some shots at my post! After rereading this I guess this can go down the wrong road... LOL!!! |

Proximity is incredible. I've always been a low tech fanatic but the reliability of Craig's products has made me a believer.
I remembered Robert M saying that Multi Dimensional was as close to the real thing as you get. I decided to believe him and took the plunge along with Proximity recently. I have to say they both far surpassed expectations and are the best investments I've made in quite some time. Craig also doesn't exactly procrastinate in his shipping. It seemed I bearly had hit the buy button and they were at my door. Thanks Craig. Thanks Robert. |

As Mike found out, there are not too many venues where the "noise" will be a problem. I would say that performances during prayer time, either in church or at funerals, could be risky, but even then ambient noise would probably cover you.
Since most of us, unlike Mike, do not perform tricks in bed with our domestic partners that rely on vibrating devices, at least with the lights on, I don't see where this will is a serious problem, either. DK |

For best results always use vibrating devices with the lights on,unless your afraid.

the noise is totally not a problem. I peformed this in a quiet living room and it killed. I also performed this outside in a close up situation, it killed. Unless you are attending a funeral, percorming in an empty church or bedroom with your wife/significant other you will be ok.
there is seriously NO worry about the noise. Your cell phone is louder! |
