I thought it was funny, as a fairly new fan of magic, to see a really great trailer for the Quantum Deck and see a bunch of five-star reviews on the day of release, followed by reviews that were decidedly mixed. Seemed like a good gimmick, and it felt like some of that was blowback from the hype maybe? Prerelease raves may not always be a good thing.

Are we thinking that whatever's written initially should probably be pretty simple in order for it to "move" to the magician's arm while in view of the spectator?

To me this looks like the hype will be bigger than the gimmick. From what I’ve seen not interested.

Congratulations to Lloyd with Lux! Such a clever device with so much it can do. I bet the Facebook group will be flooding with ideas just like with Cognito.
I also want to publicly state I accidentally liked a post of someone who wasn't too keen. I was just curious to see who else liked it and some how liked it myself. Oops! You can't even unlike a like on here. So ignore that. 
You did it again Lloyd! Well done!

Lloyd, is it safe to assume that I’d have to write multiple x’s on my arm/hand? ( X on left hand and X on right arm )

Imagine using this with DFB also force anything have it appear on your arm/hand etc!

For a while my EDC was a playing card into which I had embedded a credit card chip.
In bars (and even supermarkets, petrol stations etc) I could force the card and do a 'card payment' with the king of diamonds. It always got great reactions when the payment was approved. My friend copied the idea and embedded a chip into a Doctor Who sonic screwdriver, and waved the wand to make payments. He got bad reactions because people thought his technology was messing with the card payment machine
Anyway, my point is that great effects are not about the technology, they are about presentation. |

I have been using UV effects in my work for a long time and I know how well they are received.
One reason they work so well is that the ink doesn't seem tamperable. It's also about the surprise that there is more (information) than originally expected. However, the fact that observers could not get the idea that two different LEDs are used is completely absurd. |

From reading this thread, the hype has worked a treat and everyone is pre-ordering. The idea of the promotion is to seduce you into making a quick decision.
If this is any good then it will be available for years to come, why don't we just take a breath and see if we still want in in three weeks time or have moved on to wanting the next 'Trick of the year' |

Okay, it was a hype and I don’t like those teasers before a product is released.
I think LUX is great tool with a lot of potential. I remember a routine a few years ago, where you mark a spectators arm in shaking his hand. Then, later in the evening, you reveal the marking. Lots of ideas spinning in my head at the moment. What I don‘t get, is all the negativity, when a new product is released. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. If you think, it is to expensive, don’t buy it. It is that easy. Thank you, Lloyd Barnes, for releasing this product!

That's how the marketing machine in the "craig petty bubble" works. was successful with quantum, why not to try again...
with the difference, that quantum is a much better tool. but, however. lux is a nice gimmick to make a reveal more interesting. but the magic has to come from the main effect. just my opinion... Quote:

For you Casanovas who like to perform magic to pick up girls- Draw a heart on your hand and while you hold hands with her have the heart teleport from your hand to hers or vice versa depending on the desired plot, patter and technique. 😉👍
I know the wheels in your head are spinning quite rapidly now as you think of Anniversary Waltz type effects. Have stick figure man and woman transform into bride and groom, etc.
