I am no longer desperate for a 'static sensitive' board but please still PM me if you wish to sell me one as a backup for my crazy experiments. Also, it looks like I got the last 'new board' in stock today. Martin said they should have more in stock in about a month. |

An amazing product from Martin Andersen! The simplicity of the board is what makes it so magical. I have only mastered Routine #1, but am looking forward to programming my own routines in the near future. Thanks, Martin, for a great product and great support to back it up!

I keep getting tempted to buy one of these because I think it’s phenomenal but I have held off so far.
I’ve owned a couple magic switchboards over the years and currently use Randi Rain’s. What I love about Randi’s is it is made from a piece of plywood with what appear to be old components purchased from Radio Shack many years ago. It absolutely looks like something I could have made as a high school project and just discovered in an old box of stuff, which is part of my presentation. It only does 2 short and very basic routines, but I find that is just enough for folks that see it on display in my home. Martin’s switchboard can do some incredible things that have never been possible before, and I’m sure it’s great for other magicians or electrical engineers. The problem is that those are not my typical spectators. My typical spectator is well educated and intelligent but usually doesn’t have a lot of knowledge of electricity or circuit boards so I fear that much of the effect will be lost on them. With Randi’s switchboard the circuit board is deliberately hidden whereas with Martin’s the unit itself is a circuit board. I realize that the circuitry appears to be very basic but I worry that many of my specs won’t really understand that even when it’s pointed out to them. Circuit boards themselves are very magical things that most people know very little about other than you can fit a billion micro processors on the head of a pin (or whatever it is.). The fact that my knowledge of electricity is probably about equal to that of my spectators makes me wonder how impressed they’d be with this. I’m mainly impressed by it because of my familiarity with other switchboards so I have an understanding of what is possible and what isn’t. But I fully admit that I may be totally wrong about all this. I’d love to try it out one of Martin’s and see but it’s a pretty hefty investment if I were to find out I was pretty much right after all. So I guess I’ll continue to use Randi’s. Another plus with hers is the larger size and mad scientist appearance of it is actually a nice bonus feature because it stands out and attracts more attention. I’ll probably pick up one of Martin’s someday if I see one being sold as used for a good price. |

In the Switch Board Owner's Group on Facebook I suggsted a mod for the plastic tips for the possibility to stack them on top if each other (as suggested for the silicone ones as said in the instructions).
To further experiment with this I ordered a whole bunch of extra plastic tips from Martin. They arrived quickly and I will also say Thank You Very Much for the extra bonus/gift that you also sent! Very much appreciated! Customer service indeed!!! |

I ordered and received 2. This is a little more beefed up than I expected. I was looking for a super simple 3 phase routine. To me, this isn't it. It's got programmable features and effects I will never use. My question id what phases to people use? is there 1 or 2 phases that play well? Thanks!
Your choices in life can be compared to watching a magic trick: You can continue to believe the illusion in front of you, find the intrigue and desire to learn more, or quit paying attention the moment you feel deceived.

Disregard the above post. Brain Fog is real... and confusing.

So now that some time has passed how many are using the acrylic covers on their Switchboard?
Is their a Facebook group for this? |

Just ordered mine with an acrylic cover.
Would also be interested in a Facebook group. |

Here's the content from the email referenced above. I believe it's saying that they have enough to fulfill the waiting list with some more for additional orders but it will likely not be available after this stock is sold out.

Now that I've played with it, this thing is great! There is a small learning curve, but a couple hours of practice can overcome it. For the price, I wish there was a "How to care for" section, but I imagine it would be something like 'it's electronic - use common sense.'

But personally I use it, mainly to protect the board. On the under side there are solder points and I don't think it is a good idea that you, by mistake, put the board on top of, say, a metal paperclip or any other metal object! A shortage or other damages might happen! (Maybe Martin will inform us?) That is the reason I use the cover. I agree with Ekat that the "naked" look is better though, but I will use the cover. Considering the price to get a spare.... well... I have had mine for four months now and used and performed with it many many times, and it has never failed! Great product indeed! |
