Most of you are missing the point. You say a spectator will know right away the smoke is coming from the watch? LOL. I think having long sleeves the spectator knows were the smoke comes from. If you are performing your effects right they will not even think twice about the watch. I cant wait to get my hands on this.

I am dumbfounded that people are complaining the watch doesn't work. Same people probably claim they can't suck their thumb wearing a thumb tip.
Magic is about misdirection and presentation. If you have spectators pulling you up on things then you aren't doing one of these things right. I'm guessing that adding a remote feature would increase the size of the watch? |

I love the look of this. Due to the watch not telling time, (and not being waterproof!) I would take it on and off before and after performing. Thus I would be interested in a supporting carry case while carrying it in a pocket to protect it.
Also will the price rise after pre-orders? |

I would dare to say that Justin Miller is the last person in the world that knows what "sexy' is. He also seems to not understand the word "sleek".

I am uncertain why there's a slight negativity here... Anyways, I believe that the magic community should be really excited about this product because this is definitely a step forward! How many of us were frustrated with the t*b** and/or reluctant to take up some of the smoke devices out there due to the set-up? I think the Lynx Magic Team was pretty radical in their design thinking to cleverly pack all the electronics into the watch. While I do acknowledge that some of the comments listed above including availability of remote and a working watch would definitely step up the game, however, can't we just be nice and constructive? I think the device has been designed such away because it gives so much flexibility for close-ups and parlor, instead of a stand alone smoke machine.
I am sure some of the magicians out there will definitely welcome the device, despite its price tag. |

I agree with ruzifa. The Café' should be a place where magicians help magicians. The watch idea is really clever. A logical step in this kind of devices. Look forward to both Lynx version and the remote version from Will. They've worked hard to benefit the magic community and we should give them our supports.

Very interesting and promising little prop. Very clever idea.
However I have one suggestion. Instead of a normal micro switch that protrudes out of the strap, it would be better if a flat micro tactile switch be placed concealed inside the strap. Quote:

However after watching the demo video, and as I understand, the timer seems to control the time duration of the smoke after the device has been activated by the switch. Generation of the smoke takes its own time as the liquid needs to be heated before it can convert to smoke. Hence I see not much use of a remote activation and more so since the watch is worn on the magician's own wrist with easy & concealed access to the switch. Just my thoughts.

I don't really get any smoke gadgets. No spectator will think "he magically made smoke appear from no where". They will think, ooh, that's clever, where is he hiding the e-cig.

From the video a small hole is exposed for the fan to be plugged in . I'm never used to wearing straps or watches on my hand as I'll sweat a lot on my arms , thus I hope your can answer whether excessive sweat will damage the workings or decrease the life of the electronics , otherwise I'll have to take it off regularly and give my arms a wipe . I regularly uses PYRO to shoot fireball at the end of most of my stage gigs , due to excessive sweating on my arms , the second and third slot had broken . Same goes to my VAPR , I sweats a lot even in cold environments just by wearing that wrist band , I had changed by battery thrice and heater coil 4 times . Hope Lynx Smoke will be better .
