Received mine today.
This is a great gimmick, very well built and designed. I can’t see any big concerns about the remote button noise or the motor. For me both are quiet. Switch is simple and convincing. Lots of fun performing yesterday. This is a winner

I just got mine today. the routine is perfectly constructed that I would consider the item is examinable.
if you want me to compare. this is like asking if a marked deck is examinable or not. technically you can argue it is not since it is marked. it is a gimmicked deck. but the reality is even if you give it out for examination your audience wouldn't find anything. if you still think it is misleading..this trick is probably not for you. not because it is a bad trick. it is more like...you are not at the level to learn it yet. |

I now understand how some members get to such high contribution numbers 👻
Is it possible to return to the actual trick application and stop the mental battles about investigable or not investigable. I would rather read feedback from those who have the trick and have already tested its use in real presentations. |

I got mine in yesterday. The gimmick and remote are great. I did a quick wife test and she was fooled but want to develop a routine around it and give it real go for strangers.
The click of remote and cap vibration in a completely silent room of course can be heard but I don’t think most are performing silently on the set of “A Quiet Place”. Practicing with it yesterday on my desk I noticed if you activate cap with nothing on it you can easily hear the cap BUT with coin onto adds enough weight to kill majority of the sound plus the coin hitting table masks any remaining sound. The remote click is subtle ... inside the pocket it is a non issue outside the pocket it goes unnoticed with people talking. Also the delay method makes it a moot concern anyways. The delay offers time between the press and coin falling so there is no connection between the actions which is great. Well made and very happy with my purchase. Ryan |

No, it's like asking if a Svengali deck is examinable. It is, according to you, as long as you s***** it during the routine. You would support a dealer saying they had released an examinable Svengali deck, even though it requires a d*** s*****. Quote:

It's a coin falling off of Sharpie cap. You're not performing 'Train Tracking'. A child could perform it. And probably will be on YouTube soon. And the ad is misleading. Reading your posts I'm assuming you're new to magic and don't understand the conventions that have been set up over decades: don't expose methods, don't release other people's material as your own, and don't tell lies in your adverts. It's always gone on but at least it was understood that it would be called out. We shouldn't be having this back and forth. Once upon a time the first post pointing out the advertising was false would have been greeted with almost unanimous agreement and demands they change the wording to the truth. Now people are rushing to defend lies. The new breed really seem determined to wipe out all standards. Very sad to see. |

Again, why the need to keep coming back to argue. I'm not offering an opinion. False advertising is unacceptable in the magic community (just as stealing someone else's material is unacceptable in the magic community). It happens-always has- but when called out on it change your advertising to something truthful. It's not up for debate.
If you disagree with that you should have no place in the magic community. That's my opinion. |

Though, you are missing others point, the point is that in the context of the routine, when the routine is over everything CAN be examined as the ad states! And maybe that's what Henry should say in the ad. And to my other point as stated before, if you have to whine and cry about picking up a cap and acting like you are putting it on the pen ALL in a normal manner before laying the capped pen down by the coin to be examined then performing magic probably isn't for you.

Wow, this is getting boring!
I haven't seen anyone who owns this say they are unhappy with the gimmick. Henry should ideally replace his "everything is examinable" bullet point with the same wording the VI guys use: "By utilizing a super quick and easy switch, you can even borrow the sharpie or have an ungimmicked sharpie available for examination." Are we done now? |

It’s a very standard switch that everyone knows so I don’t see why they can’t mention that . It’s not hard it absolutely flies so there is literally no need to advertise it incorrectly imo . I mean it wouldn’t put anybody off if you like what you see except newbies who want real magic but then again perhaps that’s their target audience as the effect imo would attract mainly those type of performers . That’s just my opinion as I think the effect is average at best but the method is great and the switch is brilliant but is a staple switch for any magician within any knowledge already Gaz 😊

1KJ Inner circle Warning: We will run out of new tricks in 4385 Posts |
This seems like a high tech solution to a low tech problem. All I can say is that IT is so thin that it works under a cup.
In the future, we will all carry a hologram device and magicians won't learn any skills, they will just push a button and there will be a hologram of them doing magic. KJ |

Exactly as I have said from the get go the method is far far better than the actual effect it’s as simple as that imo Gaz 😊

Did you finally pick it up and actually perform yet? Just wandering what you are basing your opinion on that the effect is weak because I am definitely getting different reactions than that. Bob
