Ok Neil I'm totally sold. You got it. I really was not going to buy it but after reading all this...
I'm a mentalist and I work mainly with corporate events an TV. I'll let you know how the Brazilian reactions are to this.

Just want to add my two cents worth. I have had Xpert for about a month now. Its very clever indeed, and can (with some thought) be adapted to almost any country I'm sure. What a great item. I definitely wish I had thought of it. But now the thinking really begins....

Well done Neil.
Regards

Jo

Hello gang,

After speaking with David of sleightgeek.com, I've agreed to participate in a password-protected forum exclusively for owners of The XPERT.

Members of the forum will be able to freely exchange tips and routine ideas about the device. Some of the resultant information may even be included in the book of XPERT routines that I'm currently compiling.

Stay tuned....

Thanks again for using The XPERT.
Neil

Hey Neil!

Just gotta say, the Xpert is one of my most worthwhile purchases in a looong time!

When I first got it I was like "What...?"

Then I tried it out...it was good...

At first I felt a little cheated, because I'm a card guy - Xpert works best with coins...

So there I went, doing coins, hehehe, what a change and I like it!

Now, I've come up with several tricks that involve the Xpert, coins and even a deck of cards!

Thanx Neil for this wonderful item, if you wish to hear my ideas, just PM me.
Thanx again bud,

Logan

Hey Neil!! When I first got this I thought 'ah... I won't use it'
But I did, and it's one of the best things I've ever purchased. Haha, so amazingly simple but it has so much potential. I do routines with a plastic ruler and with coins and stuff and I get amazing reactions. Thanks for your thinking Neil, great job!

I just recieved mine today, and it was exactly what I thought it was....VERY clever indeed! I can see the potential already, and can't WAIT to get some practice in and use it! Thank you Neil for sharing this with us all!

I just got mine today! I love it's simplicity. The effects capable with the X-Pert truly are unlimited. You must be very proud Neil, having created such a revolutionary item. Thanks

Ok, guys, I know you are all paid by Neil to write thos enthusiastic reviews , but I'm curious and can't resist, so I ordered mine from Hank Lee some days ago. Coming soon, and my review too.

Hey Hoelderlin,

When you get the package, inside you'll see a check from Neil which will encourage you to give enthusiastic reviews yourself

Hehehehe, let us all know what you think when you get it buddy!

Take care,

Logan

Huron Low, Logan, Lostpoet, and Magicmanr --

I'm so glad you're all enjoying The XPERT! If you have any questions or great new ideas for routines, drop me a note anytime.

Hoelderlin and Thiago, I'm looking forward to hearing your reactions.

Thanks again,
Neil

Daktari,

You mentioned you may have a solution for the Bicycle cards? Can you PM concerning your results?

Thanks,
Kipling

After much experimenting, I found a nice workable card that that not too offbeat. Oh, the reactions I am getting now.....priceless!

FZandura, can you tell us which workable card you are talking about?

magiclee

Sorry, I should have been more specific. It was the end of the day, and I guess I wrote too quickly. Certain Xpert effects utilize a deck of cards. Some decks are much better suited than others. I have been experimently for the past couple of weeks and I finally found a deck that I really like. If I get confirmation from Neil that I can post the brand and who sells them, I'd be happy to.

OK....tonight was the Acid Test. Magic Club meeting and they are all waiting to play bust the performer.....but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
When the hand was opened and the coin was bent (and initialed of course!) the arguments began about when I did a switch and how I did it and when I did it and on and on. They did not have a clue. This a feeling I enjoy even more than fooling a paying crowd. Mahalo Neil.

I also performed this at my magic club and it went over really well. All the speculation about how I did was just too funny. Magicians

Destroying magicians from Hawaii to Ireland. It's just another service I provide.

Thank you for enjoying The XPERT, everybody!

NEWS FLASH: The hilarious new "XPERT Up Your Nose" routine is now posted on my website!

Just kidding

The only Xpert I want up my nose is an otolaryngologist.

XCELLENT CUSTOMER CARE & SERVICE!

Since everything positive has been said about the XPERT and its impact as a stand-alone gimmick or in combination with other effects to further strenghten them, I think I will comment on the exquisite kindness of the man, Neil Tobin himself.

Since I live outside USA and those "normal things" are difficult to find here I mailed to Neil asking for help. Of course he told me that he sells those things for a very cheap price on his website BUT since I cannot use PayPal (the service Neil uses) I honestly told him so and I was more than ready to surrender and to pass my hand this time...

Well, shortly after my e-mail to him, Neil sent me an e-mail with some different shops in different countries from which I could order both gimmicked and normal "things" with the credit card company I mostly use!

WOW! If this is not an Xcellent customer care I really don't know what it could be ...

Guys... For the few that have not bought XPERT yet, BUY IT NOW... You surely will want do other business with Neil in your future because of the professionality of his products and because of his courtesy and kindness!

I certainly will!

Ps: Neil, how I can have the password to enter in the password protected area of the site you mentioned few posts ago?

Wow, thanks Stefano!

There are two passwords:

The first gets you into the Products section. For that, the password is JINX;

The second gets you into the Accessories and Free Routines section. The password for that will be obvious to anybody who owns The XPERT.

Thanks again for the kind words.

Side note to Larry: a special thanks for using a seven-syllable word in this thread. It really raises the bar around here.

Take care,
Neil
