I don't own them but it would probably work great with Clarity box and Mark Southworth's new Box too. As far as Extractor getting beat up in your pocket, I did mention that your pocket needs to COMFORTABLY hold 2 decks. I don't wear super tight-fitting pants, more of a relaxed fit and it works fine. But of course it can be done even more easily if you are wearing a coat or jacket, but I usually don't have that option. Plus, as I mentioned previously, with E2 it easy to switch for a new box so wear and tear is no longer an issue for me. The box takes all the abuse and with reasonable care the gimmick should remain perfectly fine for a long, long time. The other reason your pocket can't be too tight is that the specs should obviously not be aware that you actually have 2 decks in it. So the outline of the decks should not be too visible when inside your pants pocket. A little bit is fine, but having too tight of a pocket is going to make any trick using that pocket too difficult to do smoothly. All of my pants work fine. I have owned Oz's Clutch DVD for about a year but have never performed it, but you are correct, it is very similar to the pickpocket effect. I have even toyed with the idea of placing the Extractor in a spectator's pocket like in Clutch, but that complicates things so I have never really sat down and tried to work out the details. I'm sure with some thought someone could work out a Clutch routine in the spec's pocket using the Extractor. However, I'm not convinced the extra shenanigans required would be worth it. But if someone develops a great idea for it let me know, I'll happily eat my words. |

Great story, mrpiper! You could name that routine Desinex for when your audience has an itch to see what is afoot.
Performing a "clutching" effect would be a fantastic addition to a multiphase routine so as to get more use with the prop. I would have no issue placing it in to a spectator's pocket. Let's not forget that business cards and credit cards may also be extracted for a commercially personalized good time!

But ideally, I would like to show the deck again as in the pickpocket routine and that's where it gets more complicated. But then again, perhaps that isn't really necessary or could be done with a time delay under misdirection of something else. Still not sure it adds enough to warrant any extra complications though. But now you got me thinking about it again. Thanks!!! |

You are Very Welcome!
For a third phase the signed card could be placed back in to an open deck and placed in your own pocket. In this instance unknowingly a deck vanish takes place and the audience member is now asked to pick the card out of the deck in your pocket. When they go to retrieve the card it is the only card in your pocket and becomes their souvenir. Another option- Have the card in the pocket change to a business card or be attached to your business card as desired.

Hi guys, with the E2 gimmick, will this last a lifetime or is there a chance with continued use this will wear out over time?

Can't the box be changed on the original Extractor, with a bit of care?

Daren, with reasonable care it should last a very long time.
It is only used for a moment and resides inside the case at all times. The case can be easily changed whenever you want or need to. |

I recieved The Extractor this morning and I have to say, this is brilliant. I did not have the original or gold version, I only have this one and I have akready put 4 hours practicing with it. It's not hard to do at all but it is fun to play with and just work over and over again. The gimmick is constructed very well and should last for ages. The only issue I can see is with 10 years of use, the edges of the cards might become compacted like a deck that has been faroed one too many times. But by then decks of cards that are invisible will have been invented and why not hovercars too so I don't forsee the gimmicks end. The dvds are packed full of material, the first one running 2:28 and the second on 1:10 so three and a half hours of material and ideas. The first half of the second dvd is how to rebox your old gimmick which is irrelevant but still interesting to see. The utility has me contemplating abd developing new methods as we speak. Easily one of the best engineered gimmicks I own. I love it.

Performed this last night for two of the most really hardest people that I can ever do routines for.One of them is a Magicican and the other a well born sceptic who just love's to catch me out,i had four eyes burning me on my first performance.I brought a cheap wallet,an odinary one and a card was chosen and signed,it ended up in my wallet that was in my friend the Magicains pocket and the born sceptic said 'hang on you must be in on this'laugh I nearly fell over.i can take card's out quite easily but the conversation was on HOW DID I GET A CARD OUT FROM A FULL DECK ,when the spec made absolutly sure it was placed in the center of a full deck,job done simple as that two fried brains and now two very hungover individuals,lol.

I am just a hobbyist. I tend to do a few performances a year for friends family etc. This was my best purchase of 2013. It just kills!!! I do this with a brand new pack which is sealed. I then get someone to open the deck remove jokers etc and then shuffle the deck and then select a card which is signed before they place in the pack.
Key is time with this. You can decide the time when you want. Just brilliant. |
