It will last a very very long time. Refilling it is very simple and very inexpensive everything you need is at Walmart

I love this. The only trouble I'm having is getting the original X in my hand to disappear. I am using the same method taught in the instructions. Any tips/extra ideas?
Cheers. |

What Baldini said and try writing the X on an area that is smooth and free of any wrinkles.

To be Honest getting the X to disappear can some times be hit and miss I think climate temperature and Humidity can factor in, as of late ive been "pinching" it off and throwing it to the spectator instructing them to catch it! tbh I wasn't sure how it was going to go but I got amazing reactions from it!!

Double Cross is now one of my favorite strolling effects. I've had this for a couple of months but it stayed in my drawer because I was not comfortable with the "saliva move" for lack of better description. I also found that saliva was less than reliable at times. Somebody posted on this thread about a finger moist pad that you could put in your pocket, and so I found one on EBay. The finger pad worked great (erases the mark perfectly) but it was too large. The pad took almost an entire pocket. And so I visited a local Walgreen's store and found a teenager's eye shadow case, which is slightly larger than a half dollar. I cut the foam pad from the finger moist pad to size and it works perfectly! My pocket stays dry but yet it retains moisture for hours. I finally performed Double Cross over the weekend to great success. Trust me, this little finger pad makes ALL the difference...it's 100% reliable and the action is motivated (putting the pen away)plus you can get just the right amount of moisture without your fingers being dripping wet. If you own Double Cross you should give this a try.

This is excellent, Jared. May I suggest that you approach the creators/producers with this idea? This would be the perfect addition to the 2.0 product when it emerges (and it will emerge).

It was myself who mentioned the use of a "pocket pad".
You can see the post on page 5 of this thread. A smaller version is a good idea too. |

I will try and recreate what you have described as I have problems with the vanish part as well. Thanks again, Bill |

Update: I've been carrying around my small finger moist pad for hours at a time. When wearing tighter pants such as jeans there's a small chance that your inside pocket might become a teeny bit damp if it's in direct contact with the foam pad...so yesterday I improved the solution.
Here's how...again, using the same eye shadow case (Brand name Elf duo eye shadow Net Wt. 4 grams)with the fitted foam pad inside. I removed the plastic cover that gets fitted inside the outer retaining ring and replaced it with a cut to size rounded piece of soft plastic from the cover of a Pringles can. Then I took an X-acto knife and cut a round hole just large enough to permit my finger to dip inside (no chance for wetness)...the result is perfection! I will try and post a photo later tonight. The total pocket space needed for this little homemade device is only 1.5" or 38mm. |

My pants always end up wet after a few beers anyway so no need for gimmicks IMO.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Here is the prototype for my finger wet carrier accessory. As you can see it's very compact, and will keep your pockets dry.

Just bought this at the LA Penguin magic expo even though I felt like it was way overpriced. It looks so good in person and fits perfectly with X Move from Something Out of the Ordinary by Nicholas Lawrence that I couldn't resist. Really pleased with them together, flat out kills.,

Just had to write about this effect because it has gotten me amazing reactions. Unexpected because when I got the trick and practiced the method I thought no one would fall for it -- I was wrong... I've had people's jaw drop. Prop will last a long time, I have handed it out when requested pretty much without issue (caught once, person had sweaty hands.) If you are on the fence about it -- go for it. Also Mark has the best customer service I have ever seen.
Tip: I find that putting the X in the middle of my palm works best, softer skin. I then display an open hand -- palm up. I put "treated" index finger on X for 5 secs while I talk, then I pinch it off using my nails of index and thumb to lightly scrap. It then appears on their hands which is the "WTF!!!" reaction. |
