Not sure if it's been mentioned here, but the eye to eye gimmick directions said to remove it using a magnet. Using tweezers your fingers should only push it deeper. But the directions clearly stated removing them with a magnet. I bought his when it first came out at the IBM convention. Later I bought more gimmicks and always remove them the same way.

Heard Hocus Pocus is either not selling anymore or a recall. Just heard, no confirmation.

I used x Ray a good few times over the last 2 weeks, very easy to perform, lots of room for presentation and by play. I don't use it for which hand though, but for kurotsuke it works a charm.
Best, Séa
I love post its

Hello everyone and thank you for your Posts about X-RAY.
1. X-RAY is 100% my own original Idea 2. I was not influenced in any kind by other methods. This Method has never been officially released anywhere. 3. Comparing EYE to Eye with X-RAY is like comparing carrots and tomatoes 4. Has Gauchi released the same Method? No, but apparently, he shortly mentions the Method in his Book a Life Time in Magic. 5. Was Gauchi the first one to mention this Method? No, he was not. Actually, in his own eye to eye thread from 2003, the method was posted by a Magic Café Member. That means, this Method was allready known 8 Years before Gauchi wrote some Words about it in his Book. Has this Café Member been credited? No, Gauchi did not give any credits. 6. Did I credit Gauchi? No, for what? If anyone will deserve Crediting, it is the mentioned Magic Café User, his Member Name is: ''Devils Advocaat''. He mentioned the Method 8 Years before Gauchi! 7. How Practical is Eye to Eye compared to X-Ray or Vice Versa? You decide yourself. IMHO, X-RAY is much more Practical and much more Natural in Handling then EYE to EYE. 8. Why did Gauch never release my Method? Simple, he never succeeded to use it in conjunction with smaller mag****c objects, that's the Reason he never Released such Method. In Gauchis Version, you had to use a large Medallion to get the right Hand and the Hands of the Spectator had to be at your Ear level. With the ''so called'' new Method, he probably took one of his Gimmicks and stucked it into a very well known Gimmick. 9. Is X-RAY's Kurotsuke the same as Gauchis? Not at all! In Gauchis Method you have to buy an additional Item to do his Routine. This additional Item is visible. X-RAY doesen't use such Item and your Hand's seem to be Empty at all Times. 10.What is the detecting distance of X-RAY? It depends, how strong the detected Object is. The Black, Hand made Ball is strong enough to do the Effect with 100% accuracy. You have to be close to detect it. If you use a mag****c Coin, like the ones from Kreis, the detecting distance is pretty much the same as other much higher Priced Systems. 11.Do I have to touch the Spectator? No, you don't have to touch them. 12.Why is the Black Ball provided with X-RAY not stronger for better range? If it was stronger, it would be much heavier and suspicious to the spectators. 13.Is X-RAY worth the Price? Good Question. IMHO definetly underpriced. Each and every Black Ball is handmade in Switzerland. The white Balls are custom machine Produced. The provided Gimmicks included are the Best you can get and the most Expensive ones, also from Switzerland. 14.Will anyone see the Gimmick when I perform? Believe me or not, but I fooled dozens of Magicians and Mentalists and no one ever spotted anything. They thought I would use an Electronic Device 15.Do I need X-RAY if I allready have an electronic Device? In fact no, but if you want to have a Low Tec back up Version, this is definetly worth to be in your Pocket. I have all professional Electronic Devices and they are fantastic, no doubt. X-RAY has just a different approach. Anyone can afford it for the asked Price. I hope, that all the Questions have been answered and want to thank you for the Great Support. Rasmus

I've got nothing to gain out of this, but I do think things have escalated far too much with very little to show for it...
i would have understood if rasmus had released the exact same gimmick as Charles' but it was painted wax coloured and that was it...but its not... step back from it emotionally...write out on a pad what is going on... this is to do with 'sensing' a subtle change...both gimmicks have that in common, but the physical elements are different... in the e2e instructions it does not mention doing, using or creating a gimmick anything like rasmus' one... the kurotsoke balls are good, they are not just shop bought N*whatever* strength, they look and feel like what they are supposed to be...they look and weigh pretty much the same, feel identical...they are handy, useful and appropriately sized (for close up and small groups)... as with most gimmicked stuff, I tend to be curious and try to replicate it myself, and so far I can't find an exact match for the main gimmick, I can get close, but I prefer the original gimmick surplied by rasmus... there are lots of variants out there, spheres are sold as stand alones or part of a kit, there's all kinds of versions released on dvds and as stand alone routines...from maven's original with a different name and presentation (but method is the same) to others with gimmicked playing cards you keep in a pocket and more besides... so I have to ask, was it just that some felt the advertising was over the top, or is there something deeper going on? because I don't see as much name-calling and fuss about all those products? so why this one? not trying to inflame, trying to understand...if I thought x-ray was rubbish, I would honestly say so, I think its good and have been using it...i used to use a version that was invented by ali bongo which uses an entirely different method, but I think I'm going to stick with this one now...
I've asked to be banned

I just received X-Ray. I think it is an excellent effect. I do like it better than Eye to Eye and Body Language. I am glad I purchased it.

X-Ray works fine for me. I don't have Eye to Eye or any of the electronic devices, as they're all too expensive for my needs. This one works very well for me. I haven't had any problems with distance or sensitivity. I don't do the "which hand" routine; I do the one where five people each have a ball, and I also like the one with an object in each hand and one in the pocket.
I don't own any other similar props and so I can't compare this with others. All I can say is that X-Ray works well for me and does all that I need. Jim |

I think Eye to Eye (and it's evolution S***t S***e) is far more superior compared to X-Ray.
A lot of presumptions about Gauci and the history behind his effect. If something is not written in the Café it is'nt existing? I wish Gauci could join the discussion here to explain himself. The similarities are far too obvious to overlook them. Have a good afternoon |
