Got to open this last night. The pad it self is just Beautiful. Very well made and the black art looks fantastic. The workings on this work as promised. Very reliable and does as stated. Looks like real magic. The big con is the noise. When the coin disappears and finds its way to reappear there is noise. Could this be done close up? With music and miss direction shouldn’t be a problem but the noise is there. Will I use this? Not sure yet because of the noise. I would have to test with music on a few friends to see if noise can be Detected. The pros on this do out weigh the one con but time will tell.

I read it so often in the last times... could you tell me what you understand under "misdirection" in connection with sound?

I can't believe my Portal has started moving again and is due to arrive Thursday! So excited!

It would be very helpful and great if someone could record the sound that Portal makes.
A good mobile phone up close and also with 2meters would be interesting - a video is not needed. |

TCC really messed this one up. I was backer #1 on this project, paid $80 to get this shipped and people can already get it from Vanishing. I’m just a hobbyist and don’t need to have it before anyone (that’s not why I’m complaining) but the fact that a dealer has it before the people who put this thing in motion is absurd. This thing wouldn’t even exist without the Kickstarters.

Well wish me luck. Accidentally pressed the “button” a 3rd time without setting the pad and I think I’m going to have to unscrew the backing and try to fix it. That sucks. Online video doesn’t give any repair advice either. Comes with a bag of screws and some
foam tape but no idea what it’s used for. Guess I’ll find out when I open the back |

Turn it on. Pull the string tell it clicks. Then push the remote and the string should go back in and then your set.

That is also mentioned in the instruction video. they give some moves as a solution during it's covered from the audience by the glass...

I’ve received mine. I’have had to unscrew once the backing to recover a coin. But it works very well.
Of course the noise is a problem… music can cover the sound. |

TCC just sent a Kickstarter update that some units have FINALLY docked in LA, and happy to say mine is one of them. Should not be long now! I had given up checking the shipping status for a while, it was making me crazy. So shipped on 8/23 and finally on the dock 10/30!

I got a welcomed notification this morning that my Portal has passed through USPS in Los Angles! Good news. Expected delivery on Friday.
