You guys are awesome. thanks for theese wonderful tips. I have both effects
and want to try the lubricant. btw: for all ultra cinese owners: my foot switch broke after a few times. so I decided to change the foot switch with a movement switch. its very cheap. when I move my arm just a little up, the nut turns automatically. the switch is placed on the same arm that holds the bolt and nut for ultracinese. try it out. works beautiful. best to all and have fun

Dry wax of just about any kind will work, if your in a jam any furniture polish with wax init will help, still the best bet is the previous post.

For me the Micro Psychic prop is turning out to be one of the most versatile props ever. I have been experimenting with the prop and have come up with a few nice additional uses of Micro Psychic. To start with here are two effects that I thought of sharing with the owners of Micro Psychic.
Besides using the prop for showing your mental psychic powers by making the nut rotate on the bolt you can also use the prop for:- 1. Apply a very small piece of wax to the bolts thread end portion and then place the bolt (without the nut) so as to make it stand vertical on (its thread end) on any hard surface. The wax helps the bolt to remain in place (holding & keeping it vertical) while you perform your psychic stunt. (a) Now place a small coin on top of the bolts head and with your psychic powers the coin will start to slowly rotate on top of the bolts head - then stops - again rotates - stops and finally falls. Gives a very spooky effect if the bolt and the coin is covered with a glass tumbler. (b) Place an ordinary Bic pen (with a round or hexagonal barrel - both works) on top of the bolts head and make the pen rotate and/ or fall. Note: Checkout the hands-off method on the Micro Psychic explanation video. However for the above effects you need to have that ‘strong something’ on your body. I usually strap it to my wrist. 2. After you have done the normal effect with your Psychic bolt-n-nut, use the so called psychic bolt openly for the ‘Which Hand’ effect. Note: The head portion of the bolt is the most sensitive. That's all for now. More to follow provided you guys are interested. Enjoy!

Nice job. I like that your ideas take some heat off the bolt too. I'm always happy to hear what you come up with

Dear Members,
I'm not quiet sure whether I came to the correct therad now. Who can help me with experience or adivce: Few days ago I've seen MP at a German dealer, but there was no "serial number" with the item. In the printed routine however the manufacturer stated, that you have to use this number to get admittance to the online tutorial section (Kreis). Pardon my bad English, please. As I could not find that number and for the dealer did not know anything about that, I did not buy to beware of fake and unlicensed copies. Who can tell me: Is there any such number with the package and where should I find it, when meeting a serious dealer? Kind regards to you members of Magic Café Forums, btw: I've learned quite a lot in serious discussions and comments on this place, Peter, Dinslaken/Germany |

Have a great weekend! Bk |

Peter...please be aware that Micro Psychic is probably currently the most ripped off effect. To verify that it is original, the code is written on the instructions. The fake ones have a fake code & will not allow access. The fake copies DO NOT come with a plastic carrying case. No case...you just bought a fake.

Dear Inert,
thank you. I am happy I did not buy that faked one. In the meantime I got Email from Nakashima Kengo's account: "The serial Number is printed in warranty card. If there is not warranty card..." They even sent me a photo of the original package to compare with the offered (and copied) one. Very good and helpful service, I think. Kind regards, Peter |

Since this morning the original (!) MP is in my hands. Can't stop trying various ideas. Mesmerising.
Thank you for the most helpful comments and ideas (dry wax, coins etc.) shared in this forum. Kind regards, Peter |

I tried some liquid car wax. Works perfect. Just work in two foot sections and don't apply in direct sun light. Buff to a beautiful shine. lol In all seriousness it works great.

Now it’s June 2013 and time for an update:
I just bought both Micro Psychic and Ultracinese. Out of the box my Micro Psychic did not make any noticeable noise with or without spinning nut. But I though the top was every so slightly crooked and took unit apart and reassembled to make sure everything was level. After reassembly the noise level increase dramatically. (I don’t know if nut just got looser or something else is making the noise.) So when I started searching the Magic Café I found this link. I started looking for: DUPONT™ TEFLON® MULTI-USE DRY, WAX FORMULA as mentioned by Pit Boss but could not find it. I did some more searching and found this: ===================== DUPONT NOTICE ============================== PLEASE NOTE THAT AS OF OCTOBER 2011, THE DUPONT™ TEFLON® MULTI-USE DRY, WAX FORMULA WAS MODIFIED. Many of our loyal customers have been purchasing DuPont™ Teflon® Multi-Use for nearly a decade. We recently upgraded the formula to be a semi-dry lubricant no longer featuring the “dirt-resistant, dry-wax” feature. You will notice the most recent cans that appear on shelf do not contain the dry-wax claim on the label. Many users have reached out wondering where their dry-wax formulation went. If you want to obtain that same dry-wax formulation, you should switch to DuPont™ Teflon® Chain-Saver. This product contains the same Teflon® fluoropolymer, molybdenum and wax mixture that users have come to appreciate for its wear protection, water repellency and dirt resistance. ================================================================== Hope this helps. - Mr. Ree

Mine makes some noise but that is due to the metal on metal. It should make some noise especially since it is magically unscrewing itself. I have finally got this to work perfectly with a PK ring on my first finger. This way I am not sticking anything on the tip of my fingers. This has got to be one of the neatest effects to come out.

I bought one of these and right off it made a lot of noise. Then I tried the WD40 trick with no help. Then I let it run for a long time and then it started getting quieter. Looks like all I had to do was break it in. You might try it and see if it helps.

I am quite happy with my MP. To get rid of the M-problem (do not like to have it at my body) I put a very strong one under my table. At a certain point I only have to narrow my gestures over a certain area of the table and "spinning" starts (and ends) full under my control with being able to show prop and hands immediately.

Ok it's been a while since someone last posted in this thread but I wanted to share some ideas that work for me.
Personally I always thought that it would be much more of a miracle if I didn't touch the MP and have my hands not even close to it. Since I mostly perform while sitting at a table I have been working on a moving m*** system attached underneath my dinner table at home so I can have the MP standing freely while remotely activating it. This design obviously has it's disadvantages as it ties you to one table and precise spot only. The solution I found now is a lot simpler. I have a strong flat m*** (or multiple) taped to my upper leg close to my knee. Trousers cover this without any suspicion. I can now sit at any table, even types with a very heavy and thick top and place the MP at a range of positions within an upper leg's reach. Moving the leg, either in an arc or up and down supported by the other leg, will unseen activate the MP. All this completely independent from any hand movements. To further emphasise the impossibility I place it on a plate and napkin (sound insulation) and place a reversed glass on top of it so there is no way of remotely touching it or any spectator suspecting wires doing the job. The glass itself lends itself in this theme also for foggy ghost in glass type of revelations. |
