Can the hookups be done with a spider pen pro ?

I love IT but the problem for a lot of the effects out there is the set up. Loops came out as a pratical and fast way to set it up. Something that you can carry around and have it ready when need it. I guess I consider them like a portable IT. Defiance looks awesome but I am worried about the set up and how portable it can be.

Hopefully we can get some reviews

Hello guys, I have something for each of you.

First, when you buy the DVD you should be given a bonus video download that explains the hook-up to perform while ROVING (a.ka. walk around), and be reset. This has not been included in the TNT show so it's a little biased.

The crediting: Yes we have to rush with production, the credits should go to John Le Clair (for a basic r**l setup, not the method), and to the unknown inventor (this was an independent reinvention of the method) of the floating pin back in the 80's. Credits to James George for designing the gimmick were not included because MMS has negotiations with him to produce it specifically for this trick.

So yes Nick, you can perform the two main effects at any time given if you use your head, or if you download the bonus content.

thanks,

Let me answer some questions, I think my other releases back me up. (By the way, the same chatter happened with melting point, with nut waltz, etc... "not for the real world...")

First, I'm not the kind of magician that posts misleading trailers. This one, wasn't produced by me, but still, I think trailers should enhance and communicate the magician what the audience is going to feel and see when he performs it. Without exagerately hiding important things of course.

Just before the TNT show was out, I PM Mr.Kolle and warned about the extra download wich allows to perform at any time, called the jacket hook up and wich is not in the DVD. They had already made the video and refused to consider it.

So I understand why they are saying what they're saying in the show. The problem is they don't have all the info. I must also say that I'm impressed with the respect the review was made, I liked it.
Not so with the doubts about if I was performing this trick on a regular basis. I do, and I have plenty of proof to show. Is the trick impossible to do? Certainly not for IT begginers. You need practice... like when you tried the Fearson cigarrete for the first time and could not catch it between the lips. It takes hundreds of performances to get sure fire, if that thing exists with IT. However no one told him his trick was "not for the real world".

The same "sentence" was applied for nut waltz in this forum and some ridiculous youtube shows. "A totally unreal version of the effect". Thank you, time has debunked your statements. I'm sure something similar will happen with Defiance.

As I'm a little burned with the same story here in the Café, I will end with a "·Defiance" : If you want to push the limits of what can be done, go ahead and experiment with the new hookups and ideas. If you want to stick to your good 'ol restricted area levitation, stay there. But magic only advances with innovation. Good luck!

Guys, you don't understand.. The bonus video is a hook-up for walk around, so what you've received it's a detailed IT product, he explain troubleshoot and important things, and if you was waiting for a street walk around product you're disapointed since you've not seen the bonus video about walk around hook up, just watch the bonus video and review after, oqay?

Thanks a lot and have a good day.
