Any feedback on this? The statement at the end "Q: Does it work with any mobile phone? A: Yes, it works with any mobile phone, however I do not recommend you to use it with Blackberry as it may give you some troubles." Seems odd. |

I got this off of Nefesch and I REALLY like it.
I think this is going to play really really well. There is a process involved, but it doesn't seem out of place at all. It's very simple to perform. There's almost no work. The scripting is specific, but it is also very easy to play around with and change into something natual to you. There are a few routines included, but you could also create your own rather easily. I'm excited about this. I see it fooling laymen badly. Plus everyone gets a powerful effect. The "bonus" effect recieved by both parties is almost even stronger than the original effect which is very nice. Basically, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Everything is thought out quite well. |

I'd like to know if the part edited out is long and drawn out with the directions or does it build suspense? Was thinking of doing it openly at office christmas party

How is this any different than Docc Hilford's "Cellular Mitosis"? Based on the description of this effect, it sounds almost exactly the same!

To use part of the review from Penguin, and from a review of CM2 I found that also called into serious question that the person who is called won't realize what is going on (especially since the person you are with and the friend are likely to talk afterwards - I mean after all, they just did something amazing, RIGHT?) How naive does the person who is called have to be to NOT realize what is going on? The reviewer was less than convinced, but this is a different thing by a different person, so don't want to presume anything. |

I love cellular mitosis 3. When I first saw Blackout, I, too, thought it looked very similar. But this is quite different. The biggest difference is that the whole thing is done on speaker. You can't do that with cellular mitosis. Cellular mitosis is also quite difficult to do on iPhones (almost impossible, actually.) Blackout works great on iPhones.
The spectator on the phone is not naive at all. There's just a clever sequence used to clean up all of the dirtiness so they will be even MORE confused and amazed when they talk to their friend. |

I will NEVER even consider purchasing anything from Nefesch since I paid money for his "Hug" disaster.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I won't get fooled again! Do me a favor and don't inflate this guy's ego. DO NOT BUY THIS!

Was it worth $60? Not at all. But still. This, though, is usable. I think it's one of his better effects. I also loved his "Lost and Found" effect. I've used it and gotten HILARIOUS responses in one on one. |

Looks like it could be good but the trailer certainly won'tmake me part with any cash, llet's see what the reviews say.
By failing to prepare, we are preparing to fail.

I have it and it is useable -- with a lot of practice. It would be much easier to learn and practice if Nefesch had provided a pdf with the video. I do not feel comfortable talking here specifically about how that pdf could have been constructed to help the buyers, but I am certain it could have been done with a little work on his part. There are some caveats, which Nefesch covers and they are not something you will always run into. I'll post a longer review if I find the time to practice enough to take this public. All in all I do not feel robbed or "fooled" at all. I consider it a fair price for what was received.

Nefesch? No, thanks. Do not buy his crap. Maybe give him a HUG instead.

Either way, would be interested in hearing back once you've actually used is for awhile. Nefesch unfortunately has put out enough bad things (not just Hug, although that's the one that had the biggest issue) that he does NOT get the benefit of the doubt for anything and this one definitely looks like it could have issues which are being hidden in the trailer. |
