Thanks, and feel free to PM me if need be.
I can’t say much more though until I actually get the app of course. But, I am having fun already just practicing on the unit. There’s something inherently satisfying about it. The unit is small, well thought out, and fits where it should. Folks might want to note that it doesn’t come with the micro USB charging equipment. So if you order this make sure to keep that in mind to avoid unnecessary set backs. I’m sure I’ll be posting more rambling comments after I get the app in place ![]()

No. But am I only going to speak up when I like something (which I often do and then I will make that very clear as well)? No. I'm also not judging the effect, I hope you notice, so that's why I don't have to wait for multiple reviews. I just think they do us and the effect a bit of disservice by putting that vid out . I'm not saying the guy is a bad performer either, I don't know him. I'm only saying: he's telling a long, boring, badly scripted story in this performance. Almost as long and boring as this explanation.

As far as the effect goes: it reminds me of C***S. Which is 10 times more expensive, so I can see why people like this. I think the reveal is very important, though. To give you an example I thought John Archer's reveal on BGT wasn't that great, it took too long and taking out the wallet looked a bit dodgy (I loved his jokes though, and enjoyed his performance greatly overall). With this kind of effect a reveal using a clear box is far more impressive, I think. Like Dan White used when showing Pitbull the C***S lottery effect. (You can find that in a thread on C***S downstairs).

John took the wallet out because he had to use it as an out . The ticket in the bowl was smudged and unreadable , he had another in his pocket ( in case of this ) hence the drawn out ending Gaz 🙂

When the information is input and when the photo starts/finishes printing. It's not an exact because we didn't have a camera on his pocket printer, but we can kinda guess from what he's saying in his performance where he knows the photo to be. Take a look and let us know if it helps. - G |

That is awesome G! Love that there are titles showing the different stages and imo, from the time that he starts to input the info to retrieving the photo, it's pretty quick! Just normal everyday patter will cover that time.
on a side note, do you know why they won't let purchasers review the instructions until Console ships? It'd be nice to be able to go over everything before it arrives, but not a deal breaker ![]()

I would imagine it’s because some purchasers may share the link to others and then not take the plunge themselves after reading them ? Gaz 🙂

No one doing the Lottery effect?
Would love to see what it looks like. I am using Michael Murray's TAP project for now. |

How sure fire is it that you’re inputting correctly is there much chance that when you bring out the photo it’s total b——-ks lol

Yes I agree with all the above , that’s why I prefer a DVD . Yes they can still be copied but it takes people a bit more effort and thieves are often lazy individuals .
DVDs are better if you want to sell an effect on as well and also better to just rewatch the chapter you want . Downloads are a pain and keeping swiping that b....y line to go back 1 minute only for it to go back 5 mins etc , and the amount of times I have to email a creator again as the link has disappeared altogether Gaz 🙂 |

I do wish they just sold it with the printer. LoL. Just for convenience sake. Love this thing though, very reasonable wait time from the start to end of the print (I don't have it, basing it off the uncut performance video linked above).
