Keywords on YouTube ‘uv magic trick’ has LUX appear 2nd down. Once you have LUX you are seconds away from the whole QnA and reviews.

I have been buying UV pens on Amazon for about 10 years for about 8.00 per pen. I am sure everyone knows they are not new. But you will get the video training for about 65.00 that I don't get with the pen purchase through Amazon.

Y’all crack me up. I’m somewhat new to Magic so of course I don’t know anything. I get it. But I feel like I’m overthinking it all a lot of talking yourself out of performing what can be an is an amazing effect. I don’t have to be in the Magic Scene long to see that the people hating keep stumbling over their own words. Please for the love of God don’t even worry about carrying around a UV pen. Just take it out and give the person an experience they won’t forget. It’s very simple and at least in my head. If they go on Google or YouTube and find all about it that’s OK. I don’t think your audience is stupid. I think they know there’s something going on there. We all know Magic isn’t real. I don’t ever try to make it seem anything different. It doesn’t mean I can’t feel for a second like it is real. But here’s some advice I got recently. Maybe it can help some people here. Have fun and don’t take it too seriously. That’s with anything and I. We’re just a bunch of geeks, losers , maybe lonely people. We may think we’re cool but we’re not cool. Lol. Enjoy it have fun!
Oh and if your getting that many people searching the web for your magic after it’s done maybe change something. That’s some advice that was given to me and I think it’s good. |

This was the case for many of us before there was even talk of Google. If your spectator knows it’s just a “special UV pen” then what’s the point? It seems to me the spectator will just think that’s technology and nothing magical or impressive. Actually though, you’d be surprised at how many spectators do believe magic is real or at least want to believe it is. But even when they know it isn’t real, it should still be magical. This just isn’t IMO. I think the most magical moments are when there is no technology involved (i.e. card tricks, vanishes) and the spectator can’t come up wit’s a single explanation. So using LUX for an invisible deck is somewhat okay, but I still don’t see what it adds to a regular invisible deck. |

Does anyone (apart from me) think this is an interesting twist on the ambitious card?

The ambitious card trick is THE worst card trick ever.

It is possible for the spectator to cause an issue by pressing the button, but very unlikely.

It is or it isn’t? So say you gave the torch to them and they accidentally or on purpose pressed the main button, would this effect/change the mode?

I don't know for sure but I imagine it has memory, meaning you can switch it on and off and the same setting will remain. It's likely that you'll have to hold the button down to cycle through the modes, then when you have the mode you'll be using you can switch it on and off, keeping the same mode active.
All of my Olight torches work like this (yes I have a good few of them!) |

Yes I’m 99% sure this is the case. Lloyd openly, kindly and very helpfully showed the full workings of the torch and I’m sure he said about pressing and holding for mode changes and simple presses would not change the mode… I think.

For anyone worried about justifying a UV torch;justify it in the same way you justify having a deck of cards.

No difference than justifying a magic wand. Running when you are not being chased.

It is in no way comparable to a deck of cards or a magic wand because both of those are already directly associated with magicians whereas a UV light is not. Though I agree, I don’t think the spectator would really question it.
