I thought I would pass on a great little device I found, I have recently been using an incredible impression device lately, it cost me $2.00 to make with stuff from the local office supply. I have performed some great magic with it. The best thing about it is that it is designed for the close-up worker. I use at my resturaunt gig. Its called the "$3.00 Impression device"...If you are looking for a practical impression device this is good.

Yeah that is the one. I used to do a simple card effect where I would use the center tear to obtain the card a spectator thought of, but the handling for this is very subtle and so much less work.

For a card divination ?
You used a CT and now an ID ?
Are you joking ?
The best to peek a name of card is the mindbuster, I bought one only to know which card has choose the spectator.

Umm...I'm thinking that the Mss. is $8 and it costs about $3 to put it together.

...or am I belaboring the obvious?...

At any rate, what is it and what makes it great/handy-dandy/convenient/better?

You would have to understand the structure of how the gimmick is used. the point is not so much of how it is better, but how you can use something that makes sense for a mentalist to carry scraps of paper, a few pencils, etc. Then be able to use it to perfom a strong effect using this device as a utility piece.
The thing about it, this is like other impression devices where the info is seen while the spectator is looking right at you when you are doing it, but it is under the guise 0f a totally natural moment. Plus it cost so little to make up, which leaves me in a position of wondering why I would spend a large amount on a leather wallet to do the same thing.

But if you use almost any envelope and you go into some bathroom... you can come out from it with another imp device that costs you even less... Smile

LOTH, but with this device you don't have to go into the bathroom...it re-set right in front of the spectators in 1 second.

Edh, the one I'm speaking of, needs NO RESET at all.

However, I would not bother if it did (but it does not) because I usually don't see the point of repeating three times a "minor miracle" in front of the same group of people (not that YOU are saying that).

So this is something new that hasn't been thought of before? Something original?
Sounds awesome if it is!

I certainly don't get it. But I'm feeling particularly stupid this morning.

But it's dirty no ?
I suppose the spectators smells something strange on the IMP ?
